New data has finally put to bed the age-old debate: Does size really matter?

The controversial topic has long caused a divide among men and women, but researchers have just released stats that prove the issue isn’t actually about what’s in a man’s pants, but instead lies in the taboo surrounding female sexual preferences.

Academics at the University of Kent, in the UK’s south, have just released a “groundbreaking” study that debunks some of the biggest myths about sexual pleasure for women.

By analysing 265 sex toys, the study assessed factors such as size, material, price, and customer reviews to uncover what women really like in bed.

The findings were very revealing, showing circumference trumps length in importance when it comes to women’s preferences.

It also dispels the long-held belief that “bigger is better’” in the context of sexual satisfaction.

Researchers concluded that “women don’t place considerable emphasis on large phallus size”.

The surprise bedroom revelation comes after it was found that the average penis length has increased over the past 30 years.

Research published in the World Journal of Men’s Health last year discovered that the average penis size had grown 24 per cent over nearly three decades.

But while many may think the findings are good news, experts warn it’s actually a “concerning” discovery.

Researchers at Stanford University who conducted the study fear the phallic inflation is due to unhealthy habits, like bingeing junk food or being mostly sedentary, or even pollution.

“Any overall change in development is concerning, because our reproductive system is one of the most important pieces of human biology,” Dr. Michael Eisenberg, the study’s author, told Stanford Medicine’s blog Scope.

“If we’re seeing this fast of a change, it means that something powerful is happening to our bodies.”

To get to this alarming conclusion, data from 75 studies with over 55,000 men from 1992 to 2021 focusing on the length of an erect penis was analysed.

“Erect penile length is getting longer, from an average of 4.8 inches (12.1cm) to 6 inches (15.2cm), over the past 29 years,” Dr. Eisenberg said.

While more studies are needed to confirm the findings and, if confirmed, “determine the cause” of the changes, this research’s conclusions are hard for experts to swallow.

Dr Eisenberg assumed he would see a decline in length – instead, he found the opposite.

“Given the trends we’d seen in other measures of men’s reproductive health, we thought there could be a decline in penile length due to the same environmental exposures,” he said.

“What we found was quite different from trends in other areas of male fertility and health.”

Chemical exposure from pesticides or hygiene products, he continued, could be one of the various factors causing the quick growth. Such chemicals can disrupt the endocrine system, which regulates hormones.

Past studies have claimed pollution is shrinking penises.

Australian men have the 43rd biggest penises in the world, a study of international penis sizes found in 2022.

The average erect length of an Australian penis is 5.69 inches (14.4cm) – but we beat the Poms who measure up at an average of 5.17 inches (13.1cm).
