It is counter-intuitive.
> The initial search yielded 12,531 articles (PubMed: 1,975; Cochrane: 3,435; and Embase: 7,121). Duplicate articles appearing in multiple databases were excluded (n=8,022). After abstract screening, 7,850 papers were excluded. Of the remaining 172 papers, 97 were further excluded as they either did not report penis measurements (n=63), reported measurements after major pelvic surgeries (n=12), or *reported self-measurements (n=22).*
you think that this many men over that period had complexes?
Furthermore, what is the scientifically accepted bodily datum from which to measure length?
Scientific measurement is done from the top by pressing against the pubic bone since belly fat makes the penis look shorter.
I imagine the pundits having a field day with this and the conspiracy theories. Would be entertaining to watch play out.
Why are men so obsessed with penises and their size?
Are they actually? Or maybe even one step further back, what does being obsessed with penises and their size entail? I don't think it is surprising that during puberty people care about the changes happening to their bodies and wonder if everything is normal, but later on in life? Maybe if you ended up on the short side and consider this a flaw that must be hidden or remedied. But in general? It surely is a stereotype but I tend towards it being just a stereotype.
Bad, bad idea. This will go down like a cup of hot sick with most parents.
You can kind of get by if you ensure you're population is all pre-pubescent or all post-pubescent and similar in age. But anything in between is a mess of confounders.
