Penis Size And Female Sexual Satisfaction

Men often underestimate the size of their own penis, in part due to the physical perspective from looking down. Much of the anxiety some men feel about penis size is prompted by concerns for the sexual satisfaction of their partner. A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that the average erect penis is about 14 cm long, but can range from 1.6 cm to 10.2 cm in length. Most men fall somewhere between 4.5 inches and 6.5 inches in length.

Women And Penis Size

There have been several studies in which women were surveyed about penis size. The results of one survey published in Psychology Today demonstrated that most women were not concerned with male penis size. This i

s at least in part due to the other pleasurable aspects of a sexual relationship, including intimacy and reproduction. However, this study and others showed that women are more concerned with the width of a penis rather than the length of a penis when considering sexual satisfaction.

Women respond to insertion of the penis physiologically, by stretching or contracting. This is a biological response that has developed to aid conception by trapping semen inside the vagina. Women also have glands that lubricate the vagina when aroused. Nerve endings within the vagina are primarily located around the entrance to the vagina, which means that women only feel the first few centimeters of the penis that are closest to the opening of the vagina.

Sexual Satisfaction And Penis Size

It’s also worth noting that a minority of women achieve orgasm by vaginal sex alone, which may be one reason the length of the penis is not an important consideration for most women. With increasing girth (width), more traction is created within the vagina, so pleasurable sensation may increase for some women. This is reflected in most surveys of women who state girth is more important that width. However, the vagina is very elastic and can contract around penis with a smaller girth to provide sexual satisfaction. Skill and change of position can provide satisfaction to most women, whatever the girth of the penis.

Finally, the strength of the erection is also an important factor in providing increased sexual satisfaction. Men are often able to achieve a more lasting and firm erection when they are not anxious about their performance.
