Women and men have always been curious about the size of the penis, even if size doesn’t impact on the amount of pleasure one gets during sex. It remains as a taboo subject and continues to make men ask themselves whether they are good enough. Society is so fixated on this that there are even competitions to determine the smallest penis in the world. An aesthetic approach to the penis is not commonly addressed and the representation of an erect phallus has not been thoroughly discussed. However, its aesthetic value has been approached by theorists like Freud, and artists and photographers like Robert Mapplethorpe.
Nevertheless, scientific studies have taken it seriously, they have amassed information from women to find out what qualities make up a ‘perfect’ penis.
Women between the ages of 16 and 45 participated in the poll. They were shown a series of photographs of penises and they were then asked to grade them across 8 different categories and rank them according to importance.
The results were the following:
1. The general beauty of it.
2. The appearance of pubic hair
3. Softness of the skin and its circumference
4. Size of the head of the penis
5. Actual size of the penis
6. The appearance of the scrotum
7. Position and size of the meatus (it is the opening of the urethra, situated on the head of the penis in males)
After seeing the photographs the results varied a little bit.
1. The general beauty of it.
2. Softness of the skin
3. Size of the head of the penis
4. The appearance of the scrotum
5. The appearance of pubic hair
6. Actual size of the penis
7. Its circumference
8. Position and size of the meatus
This poll showed that the size of the penis is not as important as its general beauty. Women seem to be more interested in the head of the penis.
Despite being scientifically proven that size is not as important, the media keeps pressuring men to focus on it. However, women have their own opinion regarding the subject and this video will help you break down the taboo of the perfect penis.
