For one-night stands, size does matter, but it's not penis length that women are concerned about — it's girth, a new study suggests.
In the study, 41 women viewed and handled penises made on a 3D printer. The models were blue, and ranged in size from 4 inches long and 2.5 inches in circumference to 8.5 inches long and 7 inches in circumference. They were asked to pick which of the 33 models they would prefer for a one-time partner, and which they would prefer for a long-term partner.
For one night stands, women selected penis models with slightly larger girth, on average, than those they selected for long-term relationships.
But there was no difference in length between the penises they preferred for one-time partners versus those they preferred for long-term partners: In either case, women tended to choose penises that were about 6.5 inches long. [ 8 Wild Facts About the Penis ]
The vagina has many pressure-sensitive nerve endings that detect sensations of stretching, and these sensors may be finely tuned to detect variations in penis girth, the researchers said. A penis with larger girth may also bring the clitoris closer to the vagina during sex, which has been suggested to help with achieving orgasm.
On the other hand, longer penis length may lead to cervical pain, said study researcher Shannon Leung, an undergraduate in biology at the University of California, Los Angeles, who presented the findings last month at the meeting of the Association for Psychological Science in San Francisco.
Previous studies on whether penis size matters have had mixed results: A 2012 study of more than 300 women found that 60 percent said penis size made no difference to them, but that those who frequently experienced vaginal orgasms were more likely to prefer longer penises. And a study published last year found that whether women prefer larger penises depends on the proportions of the man's body, with larger penises being more important to them in bigger men.
However, many past studies have relied on images, or used terms such as "small," "medium" and "large" when gauging women's penis preferences, and these terms may have different meanings to different people, Leung said. The new study, on the other hand, is the first to use 3D printed models , which meant women could physically handle them, Leung said.
In a second part of the new study, women were given one of the penis models and allowed to examine it for 30 seconds. They were then asked to pick that same model from a bin of 33 models, either immediately or after completing a 10-minute survey (to allow time to pass).
After completing the 10-minute survey, women tended to overestimate the size of the penis they had previously examined, the study found.
This finding may be reassuring to men who are self-conscious about their penis size , the researchers said.
"For men who are considering surgery to increase their phallus sizes, maybe they do not have to after all, if women tend to overestimate" the size of a penis they've seen, Leung said.
The study, which was conducted at UCLA's Sexual Psychophysiology and Affective Neuroscience (SPAN) Laboratory, has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

It's the question we've all been pondering over for years...just what is the perfect penis girth to length ratio? And do we care?
Looking for something ridickulous to entertain yourself today? Well how about this 'Authentic Women's Penis Size Preference Chart', which apparently shows us the ideal length and girth of the male member.
Apparently, it's not just 'the bigger the better' as many would have assumed. In fact, the "ideal" penis is 7.25-8.25 inches long and 6.25-6.5 inches in circumference.
Deemed as unsatisfying is a penis less than 5 inches long, or with a girth under 4.5 inches or over 7.5 inches.
Quite how anyone managed to work this out we don't know, given that most women don't get a tape measure out to assess the stats of every naked penis they come into contact with (or do they? have we been doing this all wrong?)
However it's safe to say that finding a man with a 8.25x7.25 penis is pretty low on most women's priority list, after several more important things like finding a bloke who always lets you eat the last Minstrel, or tolerates Don't Tell The Bride re-runs being on the TV all weekend.
Plus, we know it's a cliche, but it really is all about what a guy does in the bedroom, not the size of the prize.

Every man seeks an increased penile girth and ladies out there definitely fancy it. But, the biggest question is how to increase girth size fast. Regardless of all pointless and bogus advertisements out there, the fact remains straight that penile girth can certainly not be increased overnight unless by performing a penile enlargement surgery . There are natural approaches that you can find by researching online that are claimed to assist in increasing your size but these methods are not recommended by Dr Elist as they can hurt your ligaments and tissues and cause irremovable results.
These approaches are listed as following which Dr Elist strongly advises against:
This method is carried out by tying off the erected penis in order to prevent the pooled blood from leaving your penis. It is done by tying a knot at the very base of the penis when it is erect.
Since the knot doesn’t let the blood escape your penis, the cells and tissues swell up greater than their natural capacity. Over time the tissues expand permanently in order to accommodate the high threshold, eventually increasing the penile girth.
For this method, a cable clamp may be used to tie around the base of the penis. Cable clamps are not guaranteed to provide any comfort so a protective wrap may also be required to act as a soft padding medium between the penis and the hard plastic. The protective wrap can be substituted with an old cloth or a band-aid.
Clamping may only be done for about 5 minutes if it is your first time. Duration may be increased up to 10 minutes over the passage of time. It is better to take breaks in between sets and to practice this method on alternative days. The clamping effect can be optimized by kegel training.
Note: Penis clamping builds up an unusual amount of pressure in the penis resulting in engorged penis or vein damage, nerve damage, numbness and trouble maintaining an erection.
Jelqing is a method that does not involve any equipment or material. A hand will do the job in this case. This method works on the similar principle as that of clamping i.e. the blood is prevented from escaping the penis. However instead of a clamp, the hand is used.
Note: Jelqing would cause bruises, nerve compression and nerve damage resulting in trouble achieving erection.
Note: Pumping can put nerves and tissues at risk of some serious damage due to oxygen deprivation. It is claimed that pumping on a regular basis for a year or two can result in an evident increase in penile girth but there is no actual scientific study supporting this claim.
Being hopeless with small girth is not an option anymore. Instead of being fooled by forged products and practices mentioned above it is better to focus on a surgical procedure involving a silicone implant with a strong track record of patient satisfaction and results.
All it takes is determination and the results are right around the corner. If you want results fast or if you are not seeing results with natural techniques, schedule an appointment with Dr. Elist to learn more about your surgical options which can help you increase girth immediately after your surgery.

So what is the average width of a penis? Does bigger the width equal better the pleasure? Just curious!

"It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it..." "It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean..."

"It's not how deep you fish, it's how you wiggle your worm..." "Don't want no short, short man..."

It's no wonder that with all of the confusing messages out there, you've got questions about what really matters in the end. To answer your first question, according to the Kinsey Institute and other human sexuality researchers, the average penis length is 5.5 - 6.5 inches and the average penis width (circumference) is 4 - 5 inches. After cracking open a geometry book, calculations show that to be a diameter (distance across) of about 1.25 - 1.6 inches, a width about equivalent to an empty roll of scotch tape.

So then to the question of girth and pleasure: many women and men will tell you that it's not so much the length of the penis, but the width that matters in the long run. In many ways, this is true. The majority of the nerves that are stimulated during penetration (both the vaginal and anal varieties) are located close to the entrance of the vagina and anus.

This makes length less important and width that much greater a factor since it's the stretching of the vaginal or anal walls that stimulates the nerves. On the other hand, as with penis length, preference for a knockwurst over a hot dog is not universal. Some recipients report a penchant for a leaner penis, commenting that a too-wide member is more difficult to work around than one that's too narrow.

So, does size really matter? Is length the last word on the matter? Or, is width where it's at? Or, some perfect combination of both? And, what about that infamous angle argument?

After all is said and done, what matters most to the person on the other end of the equation is not the penis itself, but the skill, caring, and passion of the individual attached to it.
