In the round, the institute found that eighteen men in a thousand have an erection over the median Durex and the Definitive Penis propose this figure to be between four and eight times greater. And where the institute’s data showed that erections above 9 inches are so rare (a word, incidentally, that Kinsey himself always used rather than ‘big’) as to be statistically immeasurable, both surveys have suggested that one man in a hundred posts double figures. But Durex and the Definitive Penis Internet surveys, while stressing that their core findings are consistent with Kinsey, have cautiously proposed that there are more very big penises – between four and seven men in every hundred reaching 8 inches, between thirty and forty in every thousand reaching 9, and between ten and thirty in a thousand reaching beyond. When the Kinsey Institute reviewed its founder’s data thirty years after it was published, in the light of subsequent findings, it showed that one man in a hundred reaches beyond the 5 to 7-inch erectile median to 8 that seven men in a thousand go beyond 8 and only one in a thousand touches 9.
His common sense tells him that it will certainly not be the major or controlling factor in a woman’s response to him. Intellectually, a man knows that the size of his penis shouldn’t be specifically relevant in a relationship, to him or to a woman. Excerpted from 'God's Doodle: The Life and Times of the Penis'
