Does size matter? What is the average male size? Size matters to many men but does size matter to most women? Here’s what women say about the size myth and what really matters most with Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Michelle https://www.pelvicexercises.com.au
Many men are increasingly concerned about personal size. The size myth has dramatically increased demand for size enhancing medications, devices and potentially dangerous surgical lengthening techniques (American Urological Society).
The survey on does size matter asked women 2 questions:
1. Does SIZE matter to you, if so why?
2. If size DOESN'T matter, then what does matter?
What is the Average Male Size? The Size Myth
There is little to no evidence that size is related to shoe size, race or sexual orientation (King 2021).
Most men believe average excited length is 6 inches (15.24 cm) or greater (Johnston et al., 2014). However, most studies investigating average male size have involved self reporting measures.
More accurate clinical studies show average excited male length is 5.1 - 5.5 inches (12.95 - 13.97 cm). King (2021) concludes “most men underestimate their size compared to other men”.
Survey Does Size Matter?
* 25 heterosexual women
* Single and married
* Ages 21 - 89 yrs
Survey Results
No size does NOT matter =21
Undecided =1
Yes size matters=3
Survey Comments Size Matters
A. NO Size Does NOT Matter
No its the closeness of being with that person, the lead up, the smells, sounds, touch nothing to do with the size - it’s totally irrelevant (49)
Totally size does not matter, it is the heart that matters, the inside bit, people need to be comfortable with their form and it can only come from within them (56)
No size doesn’t matter. It’s about pleasure & fun & the average woman doesn’t have a tape measure in their hip pocket (69)
No, large size can feel very painful, I experienced that once only and no going back (23)
Size doesn’t really matter more important is technique, honesty and passion (46)
No, I have experienced different sizes and to be honest the best involves other parts. Knowing a woman’s body is what matters because once this is understood size does not matter (39)
No if a guy feels confident in himself as a person regardless of size its irrelevant (36)
No it doesn’t matter as long as they fulfill your needs, as long as they are not selfish (21)
No it’s how they do other things (20)
No this is not one of my priorities (57)
No I was with one large guy once and it was so extremely painful I would never go there again (51)
No, as long as they cater for your needs in other ways (56)
If you’re big and don't know how to use it, it's pretty pointless.If you're small,but know how to use it, it's fantastic regardless of size (35)
Size does help but it is not everything (27)
Girth is more important than length but if you are really into the guy you're with, what they do and how they make you feel during special time trumps everything (54)
No I think men have a distorted sense of what an average size is, and the misconception that larger equals better, when for many women, large size is uncomfortable and painful. If that's all that mattered, then women would just go straight for the XL battery powered devices and skip dating altogether (34)
B. Undecided
Size does matter because it’s a lot more pleasurable in a sensory way. But there’s a lot more to great intimacy than size (49)
C. Yes Size Matters
Yes size matters! Feels heaps better and more pleasurable (56)
Yes pleasure is directly proportional to the size (27)
Yes it does matter because I don’t think I will get pleasure because of society norms (22)
Take Home About Does Size Matter
* Most men underestimate their own size
* Average size is 5.1 - 5.5 inches (12.95 - 13.97 cm)
* Most women think size does NOT matter
* Focus WHAT you are doing rather than HOW you are performing and you can’t go wrong
