Sexual Satisfaction & Penis Size

Does Penis Size Matter? Penis size matters mainly because we think it does. The famous sexuality researchers, Masters and Johnson, say that penis size has no physical effect on female sexual satisfaction. The vagina adapts to the size of the penis and penis size itself has no bearing on female sexual satisfaction.

Women & Sexual Satisfaction

Russell Eisenman's research into women's perceptions of sexual satisfaction considered penis size and width. Fifty sexually active women aged between 18 and 25 years old were questioned.No consideration was given to issues like love, physical attractiveness or romantic feelings.

The women were asked "In having sex, which feels better, length of penis or width of penis?" The survey found:

• Most of the 50 women said that width was more important than length.


• Only 5 women reported length felt better than width. In fact a long penis can cause discomfort


• None of the women said that both size and width were equally important


• None of the women said they did not know

Penis width and penis length

There are a number of reasons why penis width should be described as more sexually satisfying by women. First the width of the penis at the base may be more stimulating to the clitoris. The researchers also suggest that a wide penis gives a woman a 'greater feeling of fullness' and is therefore physically and psychologically more satisfying.

Male anxiety about penis size

Men tend to misjudge the size of their penis, that's because they mostly view them from above. Research shows that many men believe that their penis is smaller than normal when they actually have a normal-sized penis.
