The longer the penis, the larger the fraction of women who will find sex with that person painful, and at some point the reproductive advantage of scooping out others' semen will be nullified due to the fact that no woman wants to sleep with you. I think I read that four inches is the length that most women find comfortable, but I don't remember where I read it.

Four? ๐Ÿ˜ That's under average!

Average size != average comfort level

Wouldn't an evolutionary advantage tend to make it equal?

[โ€“] breadsmasher 3 points 4 months ago

Well, humans have pretty varied sizes. I am talking very generally, on average

I'm pretty sure I read 8 as the average preferred length, but I'm sure we're both biased in what we read so I have no idea really. All I have is personal experience that tell me it's well above 4, but also everyone I've slept with has been generally aware of my size beforehand, so it's got a large self-selection bias.
