Alarming New Facts About The 'Does Size Matter' Debate

Alarming New Facts About The "Does Size Matter" Debate [EXPERT]
Does size matter to you?
"[M]ost of us are very poorly educated about sexuality ..." —Dr. Jed Diamond

The famous sex researchers Masters and Johnson have concluded that size of the male penis can have no true physiological effect on female sexual satisfaction. They base this conclusion on their physiological studies that show that the vagina adapts to fit the size of the penis. Because of this vaginal adaptation, they refer to the vagina as a potential space rather than an actual space.

Thus, despite the worries of many males, Masters and Johnson concluded that any size penis will fit and provide adequate sexual stimulation to the female. The present study was conducted to see if female college students would report their sexual satisfaction related to penis length, width or neither.

Masters, Johnson, and Kolodny do not totally rule out penis size being relevant, but they suggest that it is likely of minor importance for female sexual satisfaction. However, the current data cannot provide a final answer, since they are based on self-reports of women surveyed about penis length versus width and their sexual satisfaction.
