Size Matters to Gays, Study SaysFeb 11, 2008 |
Researchers at Utrecht University in Amsterdam found that penis size is very important playing a great role in self-esteem for gays. The study showed that there is a direct link between penis size of a gay male and his self-esteem. During the study, 251 gay men aged 29 years on average it was concluded that penis was the most important body part for them. For those men who have same-sex preferences the larger the penis is, the more confident they feel. In this regard, the vital question to any gay is to determine the size of their penis.
What is a normal penis size?
Penis size and its development is a matter of special attention to a lot of men. The amount of rumors and prejudices, concerning normal penis size increases by the amount of men, unsatisfied with its size. Your neighbor’s, friend’s or some other guy’s penis seems to be larger, better and so on. So scientists undertook this topic, making a range of researches on it.
What does penis size depend on?
At about a pubertal period penis starts growing and at about 17 years is considered to have a size, which won’t change during a lifetime. That’s why teenagers shouldn’t be too critical in defining their penis size, as it can change until they reach mature age. Myths you are probably to come across may contain such versions as “penis size depends on someone’s foot size, or complexion, or hair distribution”. Actually penis size depends on genetics more than anything else. Neither are sufficient differences among heterosexual and homosexual men.
What should be considered a normal penis size?
Many men make a mistake confusing penis size, while comparing it in flaccid and erected state. Flaccid penis size may vary depending on a mood, outside temperature and many other factors. At that you can judge of a penis size in erected state. As a matter of fact only a few conditions, caused by hormonal or genetic factors may require chirurgical intervention (for example: micropenis-over half an inch).
One of the most detailed studies on this topic was carried out by Dr. Richard Edwards in Canada in 1998. He studied over 3100 men and discovered that average penis size in non-erect state n 90% of men varies between 8 and 12 cm. There are some facts proving that during erection a smaller penis enlarges more than a bigger one. Average erected penis size is from 10 till 20 cm. Deviation from this range is considered to be a smaller or bigger penis, depending on the size.
Edward’s statistics on Penis size :
Average penis size - 16 cm(6.29 inch)
Normal penis size -15-19 cm(5.9-7.48 inch)
Standard penis size - 18-19cm(7.08-7.48 inch)
Small penis size - less than 11 cm(4.33 inch)
Big penis size -20-23 cm(7.87-9.05 inch)
Enlargement during erection
During erection penis can be enlarged twice on average. About 48 % declared that their penis stayed straight during erection, other informed of left or right incline or curve. You shouldn’t consider it wrong, unless some other signs, like pain suggest otherwise.
Penile-enlargement
If you are determined to enlarge your penis, you should weigh all pros and contras. Those who need immediate results may choose surgery, others content themselves with the manual methods. Anyway, it would be better, to search for information on this matter or talk to men, who’ve already enlarged their penis before you decide something.
A new study conducted by researchers at Utrecht University in Amsterdam confirms what's seemingly always been a gay obsession- penis size. The study doesn't focus on an idolization of male genitals (after all, being gay is not synonymous with sex), but shows a link between gay male penis size and gay self-esteem.
