Cock Size in Anthropology (Size Matters)

Thank you all for your best wishes. The appointment went well...now we wait for lab results.

So many times, I'm at a loss on what to post. But, we've had this hanging out there for a while now.

Cock Size. 

We really are obsessed with it. We'll use all sorts of things to show how big our cocks are.

Some will even help perpetuate myth

But, why? Why are we so hell-bent on knowing how well we measure up?

So, I've been doing a bit of digging around, looking into the anthropological ideas as well as the current psychology of this. Turns out, anthropologists theorize that it's always been a concern. But, it was the females who drove the issue. Surprised? If you've watched any nature show or documentary, you shouldn't be. In most species, it is the female who decides, she makes the ultimate selection in regards to sexual partners based on what she believed to provide the best outcome.

And, according to an article in The Guardian, it was through the mechanism of sexual selection that will have driven increased penis size and altered structure:

"This unique adaptation is thought to have been selected through female mate choice, and by the time Homo erectus arrived on the scene, the hominid penis was significantly longer, fatter and more bendy than our ape cousins'. It has even been theorised that bipedalism evolved in humans to allow the fashionably new, larger, flexible penis to be displayed to discerning females.

Women are as aware as men that to build a stable relationship you need trust, shared interests and the ability to keep each other amused. But a woman is not going to 'put the size of a man's cock right out of her mind', because she can't. Females have an evolved interest in the size of a man's penis, which has been sexually selected for its size and shape."

So, the thought that men were obsessed with the size of their cocks long before women turns out to be false.

Why would women care? The longer penis is able to go deeper when delivering sperm. But that discounts the velocity with with it is delivered.

Cock size is so embedded in our psyches that it will always be an issue for us.

We'll probably always enjoy gazing at the larger ones.

And always wish ours to be bigger than it is
