According to science, the ideal penis size, shape and style is what is most attractive to women
Doctors have revealed the penis size and shape that American women find most attractive and are expected to perform well in bed.
The findings, from three studies in scientific journals, confirm the stereotype that bigger is better and show that women prefer larger, thicker penises.
And make sure you keep that area trimmed short, but not completely bald.
Men with well-groomed pubic hair are seen as 'good in bed' and better 'pleasers' than those who keep it unkempt.
Scientists have discovered that women find larger penises more attractive than smaller ones
Recent findings support the stereotype that bigger is better, as more and more men have sought cosmetic surgery for their penises
The findings come as more men opt for cosmetic surgery, from BBLs (the controversial butt-lift procedure) to 'Daddy Do-Overs'. In fact, scientists report that one in fifteen seek procedures to change the size and shape of their penis.
In the age of dating apps, it has become increasingly common for men to send potential matches explicit photos of their penises.
A 2022 study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture investigated how men and women judge the penises of people they don't know and what factors make them more attractive than others.
The researchers recruited 106 students, 80 percent of whom were women, from Texas A&M University – Commerce.
Of that group, the majority (39 percent) was black, followed by 31 percent white. The vast majority, 87 percent, were heterosexual.
The participants then rated 24 photos of penises, categorized by length, girth and the amount of pubic hair.
The penises were categorized from low to high girth and with lengths ranging from short to medium to long. It is unclear whether the penises were flaccid or erect.
Pubic hair was cut, uncut or non-existent. Colors included blonde, black, brown or red.
They were asked to rate them on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree) in terms of attractiveness and how 'good in bed' the man would be.
Furthermore, they were also asked to respond to the extent to which the target appeared to be a 'pillow princess' or 'pleaser' and how many sexual partners they had.
The researchers said: 'Penises that were wider, longer and moderately hairy were perceived more positively in terms of personality and sexual attractiveness.'
This included being seen as more attractive, with the targets being 'good in bed' and 'pleasers'.
However, shorter and narrower penises were seen as less sexually attractive, with targets being 'pillow princesses' and worse in bed.
Those with long pubic hair were seen as less pleasant, less open to new experiences and most likely to have the smallest number of sexual partners compared to men with trimmed or no pubic hair.
Men and women rated both their partner's genitals and their own genitals positively on a scale from -3 (most negative) to +3 (most positive)
Meanwhile, men with short-cropped hair were seen as the most attractive and best in bed.
However, other studies have shown that size does not make men's genitals more attractive or attractive.
A 2023 study of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology investigated how men are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the appearance of their testicles.
“Cosmetic surgical procedures in the male intimate area are not uncommon today,” the researchers wrote.
'According to figures from the German Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, operations on intimate areas in men represent 6.1 percent of all cosmetic surgical procedures; Of the intimate treatments performed in 2018, 4.0 percent involved procedures on the scrotum.'
For the most part, men and women viewed scrotums as unattractive. However, men found the fourth option more attractive than women
In the study, 653 men and women completed questionnaires, rating four images of scrotums, skin sacs that protect the testicles. These images were then adjusted eight times, resulting in nine photos of each scrotum.
They were also asked how they felt about their own and their partners' genitals, including women's vulvas.
More than half of the group was female (56.7 percent), while 42.3 percent was male. The remainder were excluded due to identification as non-binary.
Of women, 60 percent were in a long-term relationship, while 47 percent of men were in a committed partnership.

Participants were also asked if they had viewed pornography in the past six months, saying that unrealistic body expectations in porn could be a reason men opt for intimate plastic surgery.
About 70 percent had consumed sexually explicit material during that period.
Participants were asked to use a sliding scale from -3 (“very unattractive”) to +3 (“very attractive”) to rate all 36 images.
Both men and women had an equally negative view of scrotum 1-3, while men found scrotum 4 'significantly more attractive than women.'
The researchers said: 'We considered whether the variables of age, extraversion, openness to experience and consumption of pornography influenced participants' evaluations.'
'We found no significant differences in the evaluation of scrotal aesthetics in relation to these personality traits.'
“Overall, almost none of the 36 images we showed to participants were rated as 'attractive'.”
'In the end it was hardly possible to identify a “beautiful” scrotum; we should speak instead of the least ugly.”
