HOW IMPORTANT IS PENILE SIZE TO WOMEN?
There is no shortage of controversy over this issue, especially in the lay press.
Some women attribute great importance to penile size, whereas others say
they do not care about it, evaluating the quality of their partners’ sexual per-
formance rather than their physical endowments. For the majority of women,
it seems that quality matters more than quantity.
In a study from the Netherlands of 170 women asked about the impor-
tance of penile size in relation to sexual functioning, performance, and satis-
faction, 20% rated length as important and 1% as very important, versus 55%
who rated it as unimportant and 22% as totally unimportant. A similar trend
emerged for penile girth, which was rated overall as more important than
length (Francken AB et al. 2002). Although these findings cannot be general-
ized to all women worldwide, they may indicate that penile size is important
to only the minority—albeit a substantial number—of women.
Unfortunately, many men equate penis size with manhood, virility, sexual
power, physical attraction, and better performance. Many even seek penile
lengthening, although their organ size is actually within medical norms (see the following section). A candid discussion with his sexual partner may help to
alleviate a man’s anxiety regarding his self-assessed “small” penis. Furthermore,
the size of a small penis in its flaccid state is usually not really indicative of its
erect size, as its dimensions will generally increase during erection more than
those of a large flaccid penis will.
