Study reveals whether the size of the penis really matters

Is the size of the penis the most important thing about sexual pleasure? Absolutely not. Technique, communication, withdrawal all these things play a massive role in the process.

But is the size of the penis completely insignificant? Maybe not.

A new study by King's College London explores whether size really matters in sex and intensive pleasure.

And I'm sorry about those with a smaller size discovered that an extra inch could make a difference.

Researchers tested different lengths of the penis with the use of silicon rings, which were placed around the base of each man's established penis during sexual intercourse.

The larger the ring, the deeper the man was able to penetrate. So if someone wore a thick, two inches, it would be like their penis was two inches shorter.

The study Creator selected 29 heterosexual couples without any sexual study problems, and then they asked each of them to have sex three to five times for each ring.

It had four rings in total .50 inches [2.50 cm], two inches [3.80 cm], and two inches [5 cm] plus the condition of control, which means sex without a ring that would limit piercing.

Women were asked not to check the ring used during each sex session, so that their opinions would not lean, and were then asked to assess their sexual satisfaction levels from one to 100.

On average, adding a thicker ring led to an 18% decrease in sexual satisfaction, which suggests that yes, if your penis were reduced by an inch or two, your partner would be a little less sexually satisfied.

Now, before you panic, there are some things you need to know.

This study is not really an indication of a standard sexual experience. There's no way a man's penis suddenly sits two inches in length, and it might be that it's a sudden change, and not so much the total length, which makes sex less pleasant.

As the authors of the study tried to keep their female partner careless of the different sizes of the rings at 40% of the sessions, they saw the rings in the middle of sex. This may have attributed their assessments.
