The debate has been ongoing for decades, but it’s rarely talked about. But perhaps it can be settled as a new study has just dropped. So, does penis size matter?
The penis size in the bedroom can be, and has been for many, many years, a delicate subject that isn’t too much talked about in public. Some prefer smaller, others bigger, and when it comes to women, everyone has their own preference.
Also, while engaging in this debate, it’s important to understand that, while some might have preferences, it’s quite hard for men to do anything about their size.
Many have claimed that size does or doesn’t matter. So what is really the truth? A new study from the University of California, Davis might have the answer.
In the study, researchers showed men and women computer-generated images of men with different penis sizes, as well as builds and heights. The females in the study were asked which they found most attractive, while the men were asked which they found most threatening.
New study finally reveals if size actually matters to women
The study, published on January 22, found that tall figures with a larger penis were rated most attractive. It was also the most threatening to the males.
A press release from researchers conducting the study read, “Females rated male figures that were taller, had a higher shoulder-to-hip ratio – indicating a more V-shaped body – and a larger penis as being more attractive. However, beyond a certain point, further increases in penis size, height and shoulder breadth had diminishing benefits.”
It continued, “Males also rated taller figures that had a more V-shaped body and a larger penis as being more intimidating as sexual rivals and fighting opponents. But, in contrast to female participants, they consistently ranked males with more exaggerated traits as more of a sexual threat, suggesting that males tend to overestimate the importance of these characteristics for attracting females.”
So why would men with bigger penises be more ‘intimidating’ to other males? The study explained it could have been due to testosterone levels.
“Testosterone influences penile development at puberty, and higher levels of testosterone in adult males are associated with increased muscle mass, greater aggression, and higher competitive ability,” the study explained.
Testosterone levels could be reason behind ‘intimidation’ among men
“Flaccid penis length can shorten in response to stress or anxiety as adrenaline redirects blood flow away from the genitals, a response that may function to reduce injury during ‘fight or flight’ situations.”
It concluded, “Therefore, participants may interpret a flaccid penis that is longer as a signal of rival confidence, lower, stress, or the relative absence of perceived threat.”
