Study reveals what your penis says about your personality

A new study about what penis size says about personality has gone viral on Instagram, after a scientist explained it in a hilarious video.

A new study found that people with bigger penises are perceived as more outgoing and attractive, while the opposite is true for those with smaller members.

First published in August in the journal Sexuality & Culture, the article recently went viral thanks to a woman who explained the manhood-measuring research for Instagram’s viewing pleasure.

“This study tested what first impression you’re giving about your personality judging by your d**k pic alone,” says the poster — who goes by Dr. M the Science Femme and says she has a neuroscience Ph. D, NY Post reported.

The unidentified lecturer, known for posting viral science explainers in lingerie, collaborated with science site PsyPost to interpret the study, conducted by scientists from New Mexico Highlands University.

The scientists had reportedly carried out the test with the aim of investigating “what information is inferred from a picture of a penis at zero-acquaintance”.

To determine the correlation between a stranger’s penis presentation and how they’re perceived, the researchers showed 106 people — 80 per cent of whom were women — photos of 24 penises that varied in girth, length and the amount of pubic hair.

After looking at the image, the participants were then asked to infer whether the owner was extroverted, good in bed, dependable, anxious and other personality traits.

They found that there exists an undeniable link between the size of a penis and how one’s character is perceived. Generally speaking, bigger penises were seen as synonymous with extroversion, while smaller genitalia were perceived as the opposite.

“Apparently, skinny penises are giving neuroticism, and girthy penises are giving extroverted, open to new experiences, more sexually active, better in bed and more of a pleaser as opposed to being a ‘pillow princess’,” the Science Femme said.

“Long penises gave off the same impressions.”

Average-size penises fell in the middle of the character-indicator spectrum, per the study.

Interestingly, the opposite rule held true for pubic hair, in which less was more in terms of public perception.

While the study may seem superficial, the scientists stressed their research was valuable for determining that people can formulate impressions based on penis presentation alone.

“While most research has prioritised the face pictures and biographies of potential partners, the present findings take a step forward to investigate how pictures of penises may contribute to the holistic perception of the person within digital spaces,” the scientists wrote.

In fact, the Science Femme commended the study authors on being “shockingly woke and self-aware.”

“I was impressed by how they acknowledge that penis-size-based perceptions of masculinity are related to greater sexism and greater sexual narcissism. Add a new red flag to the list, y’all,” she said.
