For hundreds of years, men have been plagued by the question of whether their “main tool” is big enough to please a woman, and women have been arguing about whether size matters. As new research has found, it does.

During the Big One Dating study, 4,761 women were interviewed about recent sexual intercourse, asking just two questions: how big was the partner’s penis, and whether the woman had achieved orgasm. The magic number that the researchers deduced is 8 inches (about 20 cm) – 44% of women have achieved orgasm during sex with men with this size of penis. To make it easier for you to imagine, this is the approximate width (not length!) Of a sheet of A4 paper. But

if you think that more is better, you are, but only to a certain extent. The researchers also found that pleasure disappeared when the organ of love reached 11 inches (27 cm). More clearly – in the picture (inches are indicated on it, to convert to centimeters you need to multiply by 2.5).

The size, however, matters in the opposite direction. Only 13% of women who have had sex with a partner with an inch (2.5 cm) long penis achieved orgasm. It’s strange that this number does not approach zero at all. But we hasten to reassure the men who immediately armed themselves with a ruler – don’t worry, size doesn’t mean anything if you don’t know what to do with it. “Penis size is important, but if a man can handle it well.”– said one 37-year-old survey participant from New Orleans (USA).

By the way, there is a mammal that is not ashamed of its giant symbol of masculinity – the humpback whale. Recently, an incredibly rare sight in nature was captured in Sydney Harbor in Australia – a whale “demonstrated” its three-meter (!) Sexual organ. “I went on a whale watching boat tour. When I photographed this humpback, I did not notice, but was shocked to see him later, when looking at the photos , ”said photographer John Goodridge.
