Scientists have been spending an awful lot of time measuring penis's, and here is what they have found out:

1. Women are much more interested in a man’s personality and looks than the size of his penis, but men can experience real anxiety even if they are average sized.
2. 90 per cent of women prefer a wide penis to a long one.
3. Small penis syndrome is much more common in men with normal sized penises than those with a small micropenis with a flaccid length of less than 7cm (2.7 inches).
4. 37 per cent of men complaining of small penises said their anxieties started with childhood comparisons and  blamed erotic images viewed in their teenage years. 
5. On average, homosexual men had larger penises than heterosexual men. The report authors suggest that exposure to male reproductive hormones in the womb may be one explanation.
6. Penis size does not show racial racial variations, with the exception of one Korean study where the men had smaller than average-sized penises.
7. Evidence on the effectiveness of vacuum devices, penile extenders and traction devices was found to be limited, but the authors noted that patients may experience psychological benefits from some of them.
