Millennials and members of Generation Z are hung up on penis size, a new survey has found.
Medical website Medzino quizzed 1,003 American adults of all ages about their penis preferences — under the subject “Manhood Shame” — and discovered younger respondents are more likely to say size matters in the bedroom. Around 580 of the survey respondents were men and 420 were women.
While 61% of Baby Boomers and 60% of Gen X’ers believed penis size was crucial to sexual pleasure, the numbers were noticeably higher among those in their 20s and 30s.
Almost three-quarters (74%) of millennials said size is important between the sheets, while the number increased to a whopping 85% among members of Gen Z.
Americans are becoming exposed to online pornography at a younger age, possibly shaping their ideas about mammoth members. Almost one in five straight men surveyed said porn was the biggest reason for body insecurity during sexual interactions.
Sadly, almost half of all male respondents (44%) said they’d experienced sexual performance anxiety due to the size of their penis, and 39% of men said they had felt “shame” about their manhood.
The survey also revealed some insights into ideas about the “ideal penis.” 41% of men and women believed a penis between 6 and 8 inches is best, while 31% said a smaller–sized pecker — between 4 and 6 inches — was optimal.
Generally speaking, women said a thicker, circumcised penis was ideal, prioritizing girth over length. Only 11% of respondents said an uncut one was preferable.
However, men shouldn’t be too concerned about size, with a majority of female respondents not even thinking about penises when it comes to finding a mate.
Personality (71%) and humor (49%) were the most important assets for women seeking out a sexual partner.
In the bedroom, exactly half of the surveyed females said foreplay was the most important part of a fulfilling sexual experience, followed by confidence and open-mindedness.
And while the length of the average American penis is 6 inches, there appear to be some benefits to being on the smaller side.
Despite a survey by dating site Big One finding 8 inches is the optimal penis size to make a woman orgasm, those with small willies are likely to make more money.
A survey by online bazaar OnlyBuy found that men with units measuring 7 and 8 inches earned an average of about $35,700 and $50,300 per year. Meanwhile, men packing 3-inch penises — the threshold for a micropenis — made an annual income of about $76,780 on average
Meanwhile, the man who allegedly has the world’s largest penis said it’s not what it’s cracked up to be.
“For some reason, having 13-plus inches means I’m a bad person, or I’m egotistic, or I’m a porn star, or I’m dumb, or I’m a slut,” Brooklyn-based Jonah Falcon said of his massive phallus, which is 13.5 inches — or the size of an Academy Award statue — when it’s erect.
Meanwhile, a “Small Dong March” was held in Los Angeles last month, seeking to end the so-called “shame” associated with having an undersized penis.
