Average Male Size
Ancient Greek civilization glorified small size for men as the ideal representation of masculinity, beauty and perfection.
Accurate clinical scientific research reveals average male size (excited) is:
5.1” (12.95cm) - 5.5 “(13.97cm).
Most men believe normal male size is 6 inches (15.24cm) or longer and underestimate their own size compared with other men (King 2021).
The current male size myth results from inaccurate size studies relying on self-reporting measures and media portrayals of large size as the masculine ideal.
Large male currently equates with:
*Prowess
*Performance
*Masculinity
The Size Myth Causes:
*Poor self esteem
*Anxiety
*Depression
*Decreased performance
*Relationship breakdown
*Trend to dangerous surgical lengthening procedures.
Average Female Size and Appearance
Average internal female size pre-childbirth:
* 3.9 inches (9.9cm) long
* 1.1inches (2.79cm) wide
Society's ideal is small internal female size. Large size is often subject to ridicule.
Natural childbirth can cause:
* Internal tissue stretching and increased size
* Pelvic floor damage and laxity
Neville Barnes forceps are still used to assist childbirth. Forceps increase risk of:
* Pelvic floor damage
* Increased female size
* Levator avulsion (pelvic floor muscles torn off pelvic bones)
Increased female size personal can cause:
* Depression
* Anxiety
* Decreased sensation
* Relationship breakdown
Normal Female Appearance - ‘Barbie Ideal’
The current female personal appearance expectation is nothing showing externally i.e. Barbie doll increasing the trend for surgery in adolescents and mature women (i.e. labiaplasty).
How to Solve Size and Appearance Issues
* Respect for others
* Embrace individuality
* Educate youth on average size normal individual variations
* Question media portrayals
