Penis Size and the Female Orgasm: Are they Linked?

When it comes to the vaginal orgasm, there is much that researchers still don’t know for sure. The percentage of women who experience internal orgasms (not involving clitoral stimulation), whether their ability to is biological or determined by other factors, whether internal and external orgasms are the same and what nerve paths are activated during release are among the many outstanding questions present in the scientific community. But what many men want to know is: Does penis size matter? Anxiety concerning sexual inadequacy can negatively impact sexual health, and therefore mental and penile health as well. Men can look to certain studies and facts for reassurance in the penis size department.

How Common?
While a definitive number is lacking, some research suggests that as many as 75-80% of women haven’t experienced vaginal orgasm. Whether this is attributed to biological, psychological or social factors is a topic of debate. Some research, for example, suggests that learning about the potential for vaginal orgasm early on increases a woman’s likelihood of experiencing them, but some contest this conclusion.
Either way, men shouldn’t assume that it’s their fault if their female partners need some hand work to get there. If a partner has experienced vaginal orgasm in the past, she can communicate with her current partner about what works best for her. If it still doesn’t work out, and particularly if she has trouble releasing from manual stimulation as well, the couple should consider relationship problems like trust issues or unresolved conflicts - these can cause sexual difficulties for men and women alike, as can general stress.

Does Size Matter?
While this is a matter of individual preference, the majority of women across multiple surveys are plenty content with an average-sized penis (5-6 inches erect). One small 2013 survey of Scottish college students suggested that preference for a larger size may be linked to women’s ability to have vaginal orgasms.
About half of the 323 female respondents reported having vaginal orgasms with enough partners to compare size. Among the vaginal releasers, one-third preferred bigger penises. This number was higher than the percentage of women preferring bigger members who did not experience vaginal orgasms.

Why it Matters to Some (Maybe)
Since so much about the vaginal orgasm remains unknown, it’s impossible to say why more women who experience vaginal release might prefer bigger penises. However, here are a couple possibilities:
1) Some women greatly enjoy stimulation of the posterior and/or anterior fornixes, areas past and behind or in front of the cervix. It’s easier for longer penises to reach these spots. Though vaginas are typically only about 3 inches deep, they do expand when a woman is aroused. Still, it’s possible for guys of average length to hit these areas - especially with from-behind positions.

2) It’s also possible that some women experience vaginal orgasms related to stimulation of a large portion of the vagina at once. Men of length and girth, then, may be more able to spark such a woman’s fire.
What’s important to remember is that a majority of women are happy with an average-sized penis. It’s also worth noting that those who report preference for larger members may be influenced by the same cultural misconceptions about penis size that anxious men are more so than actual greater enjoyment, although some women definitely experience more pleasure from well-endowed men.

Health: Universally Desired
A healthy penis is something any partner would desire, no matter what the size. Rather than fretting about the length that Nature gave him, a man would better spend his attention and energy focusing on keeping his tool in good shape. He can do so by practicing proper hygiene, getting plenty of penile exercise with his hand and partners, using protection and applying a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) after his daily shower. Keeping the skin in good condition is imperative to enjoying pleasurable sensations and warding off both infections and odors. Look for a crème with vitamin A for anti-bacterial protection as well as Shea butter and vitamin E, both great natural moisturizers.

Female Orgasm: What Men should Know

Men have many questions related to the female orgasm, one of the primary ones being: Why isn’t she having them? While climax is the result of sex for most men nearly every time, women often don’t get their rocks off from penetration alone, and some may also not get there, at least every time, through manual or oral stimulation. Along with practicing proper penis care, men can improve their sex lives by learning more about the female orgasm, the elusiveness of which may be causing them to lose confidence and fear that they are inadequate. The following information can help.

1) Most women need more than penetration.
Estimates vary, but something like 80% of women do not achieve orgasm from a penis (or other object) being inside them. A woman may thoroughly enjoy deep thrusts or shallower G-spot stimulation, but these often aren’t enough to get her there.

2) The clitoris is key.
The clitoris is the gateway to orgasm for most women. A woman may prefer to orgasm before, during or after sex with either oral, manual or toy-assisted clitoral stimulation. Manual and toy play can be mixed with penetrative sex fairly easily; a couple just needs to choose positions that afford access to the region. She may want to use her own hand, her partner’s hand or a vibrator, the latter of which is probably the most likely to lead to release.

3) It’s not a man’s fault.
Some men put a lot of pressure on themselves to "make" their ladies climax. If this does not result, they may blame themselves, but this isn’t helpful or even accurate, at least not most of the time. While there are things he can do to up the odds that she’ll finish, there are plenty of other factors that play a determining role.

4) It’s not her fault, either.
Some men espouse the troubling notion that women are withholding orgasm for some personal reason, and they may become frustrated, posing such questions as, "Why won’t you cum for me?" Aside from inappropriately making it about oneself, such a line of thinking represents a lack of understanding about the many, many factors that can make it difficult for a woman to get there.

5) Don’t pressure her.
One such factor is pressure from a partner. If a man is very eager to bring a woman to orgasm, his very eagerness could be causing her anxiety, which is a climax-killer for men and women alike. Ask her what she wants and how she wants it; don’t demand a particular result.

Hopefully, one’s partner has cultivated a level of familiarity with her own body so that she knows what she likes and can communicate that to a man. She knows where her hot spots are, and the couple can work together to find ways to hit them. Even if she requires clitoral stimulation to finish, it may be more likely to happen when she’s being stimulated internally in her favorite ways. For some women, the G-spot is key; for others, deep thrusts during which the penis tip slides in front of or behind the cervix are best.
Along with learning more about her needs, a man can improve his sex life by taking an extra step in penis care. Applying a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) after showering is an excellent way to keep the skin in good condition. Moisturizers like Shea butter and vitamin E can tag-team dry skin issues, while the neuroprotective ingredient acetyl L-carnitine may help keep penile nerves sensitive, something imperative to experiencing sexual pleasure. Such a crème will keep a guy’s manhood pleasing to the touch, which is inviting to any partner.
