Common Myths Concerning Penis Size

Men are very proud of their penises and some treat it like a precious member of the family. As a country that seems to be sexually obsessed, many myths surround this male organ.

Some men take these as truths, causing them to take extreme measures to alter the length and girth of their penises. Learning more about myths that have been debunked may lead men to take a more reasonable approach.

Of course, the most prevalent myth surrounding the penis involves the size. Most men believe that women only want a huge male member and cannot be satisfied with anything less. This idea seems to stem from the proliferation of pornography on the world wide web.

One recent study showed that while only 55 percent of men were satisfied with the length of their penis, 85 percent of women found the penis size of their partner to be satisfactory. This study reviewed over 60 years of research, combining results from over 50 international research projects. The reviewers, Drs. Ian Eardley and Kevan Wylie, found that approximately 90 percent of females prefer a wider penis to a long one.

Other myths were revealed as having no backing, based on these findings. The doctors found that the penis length does not vary according to race and that the penises of older men were not smaller than those of their younger counterparts.

A surprising revelation was that small penis syndrome was more commonly experienced by men whose penises are normal sized than those who have micropenises. A micropenis is a medical condition that is extremely rare in men where the flaccid penis is measured at less than an inch and less than 3 inches erect.

So black men do not necessarily have larger sexual organs than other races although this is a widespread myth that is accepted as fact by many people of both races. And most men who suffer mental anguish from the size of their member are actually average sized.

According to the review, it is rare that a penis enhancement device lives up to its promises. However, this equipment sometimes has an uplifting psychological effect on the user. Two methods that actually have clinical studies showing that they work are penis extenders and surgery. All other options such as penis pill, penis pumps, oils etc are designed with one goal in mind; to separate the consumer from his money as quickly as possible.

In the review, ancient methods to make the penis bigger are described. Included in these is the technique used by the Topamina of Brazil. It involves encouraging poisonous snakes to bite the penis, resulting in a length increase that lasts for six months. Methods like this are very uncomfortable ways for men to address small penis syndrome.

All men should make an effort to become educated concerning their sexual health and not buy into myths no matter how popular they are.
