On the importance of penile length and girth
Just recently I came upon a study by Stulhofer (1999) in which he examines the importance of penis length and girth for women, interviewing 556 women between 19-49 years.
Findings show that -as expected- girth is considered more important than length and this effect increases with sexual experience (operationalized by the number sexpartners).
Also 71.8% of women stated that the "esthetic quality" of their partner´s penis is somewhat to very important.
Unfortunately as Stulhofer points out "... the questions did not allow [him] to distinguish between the claims that relate penis size to pleasure and those who relate it primarily to discomfort or pain..."
It seems there is still a lot of research work to do...
