13 Penis Myths and Facts Exposed By Experts
If you think you know your penis well, then you must check on the following 13 penis myths and facts.
This will help you not only understand your penis better but will also help you be better versed with what your penis is all about.
#1. Shoe Size Myth
Many people believe that there is a direct relationship between their shoe size and their penis.
But according to research published in a reputed journal, there is no correlation between these two.
This study was conducted on 104 men who were examined for their foot sizes and their penis sizes. It clearly showed no relation, thus the myth has to be flushed out.
#2. Every guy is circumcised
Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin. Many people believe that every man goes through this process.
But the truth is that only 30% of men aging over 15 have gone under the procedure, 2/3 of them being Muslims.
Thus, not every man needs to go under circumcision.
#3. You might break your penis bone
Unlike other mammals, humans don’t have a bone in their penis. Most of the other mammals have baculum in their penis, but that does not include your penis.
Thus, this is a complete myth that your penis has a bone, but you can still fracture it.
This might happen when you bend your penis with a lot of force while it’s erect. This ruptures your vessels and lining that causes an erection.
#4. Size controls your performance
Many people believe that a bigger penis is all that they need for better sexual performance. But that’s just a myth.
Only 25% of women end up having orgasms due to their partner’s long penis. Thus, if your question is do girls care about size – the answer will be 75% of the girls don’t!
It’s just a myth going around the corners.
#5. The penis is a muscle
The penis is composed of three columns of spongy tissues.
Two of these columns are corpus cavernosum which are responsible for erections as they get filled with blood. Another one is the corpus spongiosum that acts as a passage for the semen and urine to pass.
Thus, they are composed of tubular columns of tissues and no muscles.
Altogether, the penis being a muscle is a myth.
#6. The brain controls your orgasm
You must have observed that you have no control over when you ejaculate. This is because your brain has no control over it.
Your penis ejaculates on receiving a signal from the spinal ejaculation generator which is a section of the spinal cord.
However, the brain might affect your ejaculation when you distract yourself and start thinking about something else.
#7. Cornflakes interfere with masturbation
Kellogg corn flakes were invented to prevent Americans from masturbating.
But the truth is that the product does not prevent masturbation.
No plane food has any role in interfering with your habit of masturbation.
#8. The average size of a penis is seven/eight/nine inches.
Well, many of you might have wondered at some stage of your life how many guys have 7 inches penis?
Many men consider 7 or a minimum of 9 inches as an average.
But that’s not the truth! It’s just a myth!
The fact is, according to a study conducted on 15,000 men concluded the average size of the penis is 5.17 inches when erect.
So why do people hype penis size so much?
This might be because of overwhelming answers to what size girls prefer.
These answers are the reason why penis size has been set so overestimated.
#9. You can have sex the whole night
You cannot!
Your penis might stay hard even after sex, but that does not mean that you can go on the whole night.
It all depends on your blood circulation to the penis and what sexual stimulation does to you.
But there is always a refractory period between your sex sessions.
You cannot just go on without having a break.
#10. Ejaculation must bring in a lot of semen
Many adult contents show loads of semen being ejaculated every time the guy has an orgasm.
This makes men believe that a small amount of semen is not something to be okay with.
However, the fact says that it is ok to ejaculate even a tablespoon full of semen. Every milliliter of your semen carries 200 million sperms.
#11. Size matters to a girl
We have already mentioned how size does not determine your performance.
But a myth that’s important to burst is that size matters to girls.
It’s not!
We found only 1% of women considering size as an important factor. Others didn’t care.
All your woman cares about is how you go with the process.
Thus you don’t need to ponder on how small is too small for a woman.
So good luck with that.
#12. The penis can never be too big for the vagina
Penis size can often be a compatibility issue as our penis might be bigger for her vagina.
Usually, the vagina goes well with accommodating different sizes of the penis but sometimes it can be big for her.
It might be because of her vagina being dehydrated or she might not be sexually aroused.
Altogether, your penis size might go big for her!
#13. Grower and Show-er
You might have heard men mocking their colleagues for the small size of their flaccid penis.
But the fact is that a shorter flaccid penis might grow more in size as compared to men with a longer flaccid penis.
Thus, you cannot judge a man’s size with his flaccid penis size.
Well, with that we have come to the end of our collection of myths and facts.
However, while researching the above myths, we mostly came across people with questions about size.
Thus, here is our piece of information for you on what the average size of the penis is.
What’s the Average Penis Size?
Is 9 inches a good size? What would be the average penis size?
There are many such questions which usually trouble men in their dreams, after all, size has been associated with your performance and confidence for quite a long time.
As in the above sections, we already highlighted the research published in a reputed journal claiming the average size of the penis to be 5.16 inches when erect, it’s time we have a closer analysis.
This research conducted on 15000 men had also concluded, the average girth of a flaccid penis being 3.66 inches and 4.59 inches for an erect penis.
For people who don’t know what girth is, it is the widest part of your penis, your circumference of the penis.
Let us have a wider look at the research.
What Does The Research And Clinical Study Say?
The research was presented by BJUI after considering the results of around 17 studies, and it saw a whopping 15,000 participants altogether.
Apart from the averages shown previously, the study saw an analysis of the sizes in percentages.
For example, an erect penis of around 6.3 inches was considered to be 95th percentile.
This denotes that out of 100 men only 5 men would have a penis longer than 6.3 inches.
Similarly, men of an erect penis size 3.94 inches were kept under the 5th percentile, denoting that only 5 men out of 100 would have a penis shorter than 3.94 inches.
Other studies showed similar results.
A study posted in the Journal of Urology found that the length of the penis when flaccid was not a predictor for how long the penis would be when erect.
Thus, men could show an erection of the same length even after having a flaccid penis of different sizes.
Now many of you might have been trying to measure your penis size?
Thus, let us give you a short brief on how you can measure your penis size.
How to Measure Your Penis?
The correct way of measuring your penis is from the top of your penis to the tip of your glans.
The top of your penis is the point where it connects to your pubic bone. While the glans is the round tip of your penis.
Make sure that you compress any extra layer of fat present in front of your pubic bone. Also, don’t consider any extra length like the foreskin.
You can measure the girth of your penis in the middle of your shaft.
With that being said, let us move our focus towards a special question that goes around in every guy’s mind – does penis size matter?
Does Size Matter?
Most of the men are concerned about whether their penis will be able to satisfy their partners.
Some of them might also be worried about how their penis looks when they are naked.
Well, when it comes to your sexual relationship, size might not have a great impact on how it goes.
According to a study published in a reputed journal, 75 sexually active women were interviewed about penis size that they would prefer for a long term relationship and a one-night stand.
These women were shown 33 different sizes of 3-d penis models made of blue plastics to keep race out of the choice list.
According to the results, the average size selected by these women was an erect penis of 6.4 inches with 5 inches of girth for a one-night stand.
While for the long term relationship, the average size chosen by the ladies was 6.3 inches long erect penis with a girth of 4.8 inches.
Both these choices are just slightly bigger than the average size.
Another study conducted to have a check on women’s preferences was published in BMC Women’s Health, which showed that penis girth was considered to be more important than length.
Apart from this, if we talk about sexual performance, a man’s assumption about his penis size hurts sexual performance.
The reason being its impact on your self-confidence and positive body image.
Men who are over-conscious about their penis size end up having anxiety issues leading to many sexual problems like erectile dysfunction.
It has been often found that men having a perception of their penis is small, don’t align with what research shows.
Thus, don’t stress over it much!
