Science Argues Women Like Men With Bigger Penises

via ConceptArt.orgNot one of the 105 Australian women shown images of naked men in a piece of academic research dedicated to women and penis size preferences said: “I like small penises.” In the study released yesterday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS, researcher Dr. Brian Mautz concluded that size does matter, that women prefer “showers” to “growers”. 

Larger flaccid male members received higher marks. 

“As you increase penis size, the amount of attractiveness scores gets bigger” in a linear fashion, he explained, until 7.6 centimeters, or 3 inches. After three inches, attractiveness still increased, but in smaller increments.

Not only were the ratings higher, but the women also spent more time gazing at the generously endowed figures, a sign they preferred looking at them as opposed to figures with smaller penises.

The women’s conclusions coincide with Ask Men’s conclusion that size matters — to men. 

The women’s actions, as monitored not only by their answers to questions and ratings of images of pictures, but also measurements of nonverbal actions like eyes wandering can be frustrating to “growers”. “Several studies have shown that flaccid penis length is not associated with erect penis length,” says Ask Men, postulating that the average erect penis length is between 5.1 inches and 5.9 inches in length. “Literature around the average girth or circumference seems to flip-flop, but several studies have described an average mid-shaft circumference to be 4.49 inches and 4.97 inches when fully erect.”

In Dr. Mautz’s study of 105 women — hardly a massive sampling — yet not 25 university students either,

Penis size had a stronger effect on attractiveness in taller men than in shorter men. There was a similar increase in the positive effect of penis size on attractiveness with a more masculine body shape (i.e., greater shoulder-to-hip ratio). Surprisingly, larger penis size and greater height had almost equivalent positive effects on male attractiveness.  via NBC News

It’s worth noting that women with greater body mass index held stronger preferences for big pensises. And especially with tall men, where the expectation of endowment was greatest. Mautz speculated, because “a taller guy must have a disproportionately larger penis to sort of make it clear” he’s endowed.

NBC’s Brian Alexander suggests that women may be looking for orgasms, as a pair-bonding function. Biologically, it’s argued that intense orgasms thrust sperm forward in the path toward a potential meetup with an egg and an opportunity to rumble. In the recent book, The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex and the Science of Attraction, Emory University neuroscientist Larry Young argues that intense orgasms tend to seal the deal for many women, and especially those looking for a husband and father for a family material.
