Penis Book, The: A Doctor’s Complete Guide to the Penis - From Size to Function and Everything in Between

Product Information

It seems logical, but in reality there’s no correlation. Several studies have been done over the years on this topic.

If you have partnered sex, use a barrier and get tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as often as is recommended. Your partner(s) should (ideally) do the same. Neither age nor size of the flaccid penis accurately predicted erectile length. Stretched length has correlated with erect length in some cases. [3] However, studies have also shown drastic differences between stretched and erect length. [9] One study found that a minimal tension force of approximately 450 g during stretching of the penis was required to reach a full potential erection length. This study also found that tension forces exerted in this study by the urologist were shown to be significantly (P<0.01) lower than 450g. [10] This may account for differences between stretched and erect length. In The Big Penis Book we explore the centuries-old fascination with the large phallus, a fascination common to men and women alike. This hefty book is profusely illustrated with over 400 historic photos of spectacular male endowments, including rare photos of the legendary John Holmes. The majority of the photographs are from the 1970s, when the sexual revolution first freed photographers to depict the male entirely nude. Worldwide, most penises are not circumcised -- have not had their foreskins surgically removed, usually at birth or in infancy. Around 70% have not been circumcised globally. It's usually easiest to tell if a penis is circumcised or not when it's flaccid: they can look pretty similar erect. An uncircumcised penis, flaccid, looks a bit like the penis is inside a snug little sleeping bag.Some numbers to keep in mind while you’re reading about the heavy lifters walking among us ( source) But guess what? The idea of what is the ‘correct’ size is distorted anyway. The NHS says most men’s penises are around 3.75in when not erect, and 5 to 7in when erect – a far cry from most online mega-dongs. More to the point, if you do have a smaller penis, why should that mean you don’t feel like a true man? Researchers say 0.6% of men have a micropenis, which would mean 200,000 of men in the UK potentially feeling this way, on top of the men for whom average just doesn’t look big enough.

Scientific studies have been performed on the erect length of the adult penis. Studies that have relied on self-measurement, including those from Internet surveys, consistently reported a higher average length than those that used medical or scientific methods to obtain measurements. [5] [13] Positions that allow you to work the curve toward the front wall of the vagina or rectum give you the same hot-spot advantage as those with banana shapes.The average size of an adult erect (hard) penis is 5 to 7 inches long. The size of your penis when it’s flaccid (soft) doesn’t have much to do with its size when it’s hard. Some penises get much bigger when they get hard. Others stay pretty much the same size. A study done in 1988 by Siminoski and Bain found only a weak correlation between foot size and penis size. This year we’re upping the ante as The Penis Gallery meets The Vagina Museum on 10th March at The Book Club. In what amounts to a formalised game of ‘Doctors and Nurses’ the vibe is very much “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” In an artistic manner of course. Yes we’ll have Florence Schechter, Director of The Vagina Museum, telling us all about the ground-breaking new space in Camden and talking about the misinformation and outright lies about the vagina. Pro tip: Experiment to find your most mind-blowing positions. Try variations on all the classics, and throw some standing sex positions into the mix. Larger-than-average length and girth Men really opened up and discussed anxieties, OCD and full-blown depression and suicidal thoughts. There are a lot of mental health stories in the book. They all really opened up emotionally and it felt like a very rare glimpse into men's inner world. There are men in the book who say they have never talked about this to anybody."

As Laura Dodsworth puts it: ‘Real beauty lies in reality.’ Think you know it all when it comes to your penis? Here are some things you might not know, but should. Boners help keep your penis healthy I’d heard so many women speak so deeply about what being a woman means, I realised that there was this vacuum – I wanted to know what men’s stories were, to understand manhood more.” Dodsworth has previously explored bodies with her book, Bare Reality, about people's relationships with their breasts. She says her projects are born from her relationship with her own body, and exploring what that might mean for men.
