It’s easy to find studies on what people consider to be the ideal body type or perfect face, but when it comes to sexual organs, we seem to be in the dark about what “look” people prefer. Luckily, though, a recent study aimed to help take our privates out of the dark. Via Daily Mail:

A 2022 study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture examined how men and women judge penises of people they don’t know and what factors make them more attractive than others. 

The researchers recruited 106 college students, 80 percent of whom were women, from Texas A&M University – Commerce. 

The participants then reviewed 24 pictures of penises categorized by length, girth, and the amount of pubic hair. 

The penises were categorized from low girth to high girth and with lengths ranging from short to medium to long. It’s unclear if the penises were flaccid or erect.

Pubic hair was trimmed, untrimmed, 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. 

The researchers said: ‘Penises which were wider, longer, and moderately hairy were perceived more positively in terms of personality and sexual appeal.’

This included them being seen as more attractive, with their targets being ‘good in bed’ and ‘pleasers.’ 

However, shorter and narrower penises were seen as less sexually attractive, with their targets being ‘pillow princesses’ and worse in bed, though other studies have shown that size doesn’t make men’s genitals more attractive or appealing.  

Those with long pubic hair were seen as less agreeable, less open to new experiences, most likely to have the smallest number of sexual partners compared to men with trimmed or no pubic hair. Men with trimmed hair were seen as the most attractive and best in bed. 

The idea that bigger penises = better personality/good in bed seems to be…. misguided, in our OBC team’s humble opinion. But we do appreciate the recommendation for penis-owners to keep things trimmed but not shaved.

What do you think about the study’s results? Do they line up with your own experiences?
