If you’ve ever wondered if size actually mattered, rest assured, we have an answer: it does. And to be clear, this comes from science, not personal opinion.
According to researchers from University of New Mexico and the University of California, women want a certain size depending on what they’re getting out of you – AKA, one and done kind of situation or a lasting relationship.
According to Mirror, the study was pretty straightforward. 75 California women ranging in age from 18 to 65 were shown 3D models of erect dongs and were asked to choose their favorite… uh… model.
Each was shown 33 penis models – consisting of a cylinder, representing the shaft, topped by a dome, representing the penis head.
These ranged in size from 4.0 inches to 8.5 inches in length and 2.5 inches to 7.0 inches in circumference
The researchers then asked them to choose their favourite for a long-term relationship, and for a one-night stan
Just to get a better idea of what these suckers looked like, here’s an incredibly helpful infographic:
When it came to long-term relationships, women preferred 6.3 inches, with a girth of 4.8 inches. For a solid one night stand, they went bigger: length of 6.4 inches and a girth of 5.0 inches.
“Women preferred a larger penis size (especially a larger circumference) for one-time partners as compared to long-term partners,” the researchers wrote in their report. “While this preference for a larger phallus is above the average penis size, it is only very slightly above the average.”
Needless to say, preferences exceeded the size of the average male, but that’s ok! Love is deeper than the size of your d*ck… or so we’ve heard.
