Why your penis size doesn't matter (but appearance does)
Scientists believe they have worked out what women want from male members - and the answer might not be what you expect
When it comes to the downstairs department, it seems that men have been fretting about the wrong thing.
Rather than worrying about the length of their penis, men should be concerned with the way it looks in the mirror - if a new scientific research paper is to be believed.
Doctors from the University Children’s Hospital, in Zurich, Switzerland asked 105 women from different age groups to rate the importance of eight different aspects of the penis. These included: length, girth, shape, position of the meatus (the place where urine leaves the body), appearance of pubic hair and general cosmetic appearance.
Of the eight catagories, length only rated as the sixth most important aspect to the women, while girth was rated third.
Top of the table was cosmetic appearance and pubic hair appearance.
The least important aspect was the position of the meatus.
In the same study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the doctors investigated the cosmetic effectiveness of hypospadias surgery, which realigns the position of the meatus for men who were born with a urethra that exits the body on the shaft of the penis, rather than the tip.
They found that when looking at photos of penises, the women were unable to tell which had undergone the corrective operation.
"These findings may stimulate reflections regarding the relevance of surgical correction of the meatus in minor forms of hypospadias," wrote the study's authors, before noting that the women in the study were not exposed to photos of noncorrected hypospadias.
"Although men with and without hypospadias are often concerned about their penile size, in the present study, penile length was not considered as very relevant by women.
"Other studies have confirmed that most women find penile size 'unimportant' or even 'totally unimportant' and that most women are satisfied with their partner's penis size."
Unfortunately, the doctors were not able to elucidate upon what exactly constitutes a good cosmetic appearance for a penis.
