Penis Size: Does size really matter

Penis size seems to be the perpetual puzzle and problem to most men.  Does size really matter?

When it comes to penises, many cultures have considered bigger to be better. Early Arab tribesmen, for example, believe that a large, well-developed penis was a symbol of power, masculinity and fertility. By doing penis exercises everyday from puberty to adulthood, some Arab men have attained sizes over 18 to 20 inches in length and nearly 8 inches in girth.

However, the question to ask is if this is true in today’s modern world.

Today there is a whole industry solely devoted to penis enlargement. There is now a whole range of penis enlargement products available in the market from which you can choose from. These include penis enlargement pills, herbal products, patches, pumps, weights, and even surgery.

These various methods promise the same thing – to have a larger (better?) penis. But what they don’t noticeably reveal are the consequences and drawbacks that these different methods bring about, and final results are seldom above expectations.

In fact, studies show that there are relatively few nerve endings in the far reaches of the vagina so bigger is NOT necessarily better for some women… that is in terms of their partner’s penis size. 

Studies find that the average penis size is 5.5 inches. Some people, especially women, are satisfied with the size of their partners’ members. However, others may found theirs lacking, or not to their specifications.

A study conducted shows that 26 percent of woman said that bigger penis is better; while 49 percent of them actually said, “it is not really the size but what you do with it.”

The reasons why women say that bigger penis is better are listed below.

For psychological reasons. Most often a well-endowed man is perceived as more manly by women.  Women who have partners with bigger penis feel that they are more attractive and womanly.  Moreover, some of them claim that “a bigger penis feels nicer.”  (See

For visual stimulation. Women like to play with their guy’s penises, and they get aroused or excited by looking at an erect one.

For physical pleasure. Bigger penises are often longer and have wider girth.  This easily stimulates the genital tissues around a woman’s vagina so orgasm and sexual satisfaction is induced.

But it is also important to remember that sexual satisfaction is due to a number of things and size is only one aspect.

The penis is man’s most important anatomy.  It has been hailed as man’s best friend.

Throughout history and even today, since Sigmund Freud coined the term “phallus,” the male genitalia is especially associated with concepts of male domination and male aggression.  Gender roles, traditions, sexual attitudes and religion all affect how one will perceive the male genitalia. 

Sadly, this disgusting phenomenon is making an astonishing comeback - and not simply in pagan circles, but in evangelical circles as well. Take, for example, Robert Hicks, a well-known speaker and teacher in the Promise Keepers movement, an ecumenical men’s movement that has been sweeping the country and bringing together Catholics and evangelicals for the ostensible purpose of strengthening the country by re-establishing male "headship" in the "... family, community and nation."

As we human beings have changed and evolved over our thousands of years of recorded history, so have our attitudes and expressions of all things sexual. The only thing that hasn't changed much is society's desire to exercise a certain amount of control over an individual's sexual behaviour. Whether it is through church or state, educational institutions or popular media of the time, there have been rules and regulations, views and taboos about what we should do sexually, how we should do it, who we should do it with and even how we should think about doing it.

Penis worship, the term used to describe the “phallus,” was the basis of almost all pagan worships in ancient world and even today.  These were actually reflected in objects connected to daily living. 

Vases in classical Greece were decorated with phalluses.  In the ruins of Pompeii, penis symbols were found just about everywhere, on bowls, lamps and figurines.  Pitchers with enormous penis spouts were a unique specialty of the Mochica culture of Peru.  In Egypt enormous symbols of penis power—the obelisk—were erected all over the landscape.  Smaller penis symbols in the form of amulets and bracelets were worn as magical protection against evil in ancient Rome.  In fact, the English word "fascinate" is derived from "fascinum" the Latin word for these magic penis images. 

Although the world has been fascinated by the “genitals” since time began, some cultures have been known to condemn the act of masturbation or self-pleasuring.

For instance, the Taoists in China condemned male masturbation to the point of ejaculation as wasteful because too much "yin" or masculine energy would be lost with the expelled semen.  Moreover, the Christian church raised masturbation to a level of damnable sin. Penitential books published by the church during the 8th century, which outlined proscribed sexual practices and their accompanying penalties, emphasized masturbation over any other sexual offence.
