Penis Enlargement News

Men are more self-conscious in the locker room than the bedroom

Male Edge Press Release: November 2009
When it comes to penis size, men are much shyer in the locker room than they are in the bedroom. That’s according to male enhancement firm Male Edge, which conducted a poll of men and women across Europe and the US.

More than 58% of male respondents admitted to feeling self-conscious about the size of their penis when disrobing in the locker room. That compares to just 44% who said they feel self-conscious when undressing in front of a partner.

Klaus Pedersen, Managing Director of Male Edge manufacturer DanaLife, observed: “There’s a common misconception that men want a larger penis simply to impress a partner. As this survey has revealed, that’s simply not true. The pressure to look good in the competitive environment of the gym is much more intense than it is in the bedroom. In fact it’s fair to say that women tend to care less about penis size than men do.”

Men want length, women want girth
Of the men surveyed, 77% said they wished they were a little longer down below. Fewer (70%) said they wished they had more girth. But it seems men have their priorities all wrong. Only 3% of female respondents said that length is more important than girth, which compares to 48% who said the exact opposite. The remaining 49% said that length and girth are equally important.

“The only measurement you ever hear about when it comes to penis size is length,” Klaus Pedersen continued. “That’s why we weren’t surprised at all to discover that our male respondents were more interested in lengthening their penis than adding girth. As our female respondents told us, girth is at least as important as length, but men are simply reluctant to accept this – however often they’re told!”

Whether it’s length or girth they’re after, there’s no doubt that male respondents were keen for a bit of enhancement. In fact nearly a third (30%) said they’d rather have a larger penis than a better job.

How important is penis size to women?
Interestingly, more than half (52%) of all male respondents said they had been praised for their penis size by at least one partner. Whether or not these kind words were heartfelt is another matter, with 47% of all female respondents admitting they have praised a man without really meaning it!

Either way, penis size is definitely a real conversation piece. Some 83% of female respondents said they occasionally or regularly gossip about penis size with their friends. Of course, there are many women out there who do not see penis size as a big issue; 17% claimed it isn’t important to them at all. Only 8% said they are exclusively interested in well-endowed guys, with the remaining 75% saying that a big penis is a bonus – but it certainly isn’t everything.

In encouraging news for any well-endowed guys who are carrying a few extra pounds, 72% of the women polled said they would rather have a man with an average body and a large penis than a guy with a fantastic body but a small penis.
