What's more important for satisfying a woman in bed?
According to one study, a majority of women agreed that width was more important than length. The study went on to say:
"It is not obvious why a wide penis would be preferred to a long penis, but speculation suggests that width may be important due to a penis thick at the base providing greater clitoral stimulation as the male thrusts into the female during sexual intercourse. That is, a wide penis would seem to offer a greater degree of contact with the outer part of the vagina, including the clitoral area."
This study still focuses on size, but understand that the vagina can accommodate just about any penis. Average or smaller length penises work fine and, in fact, huge penises don't necessarily have such a great advantage because they can cause discomfort. It's also harder for a woman to perform oral sex on a tree trunk-sized penis. (Not to mention it's harder to have anal sex, if you're into that.)

So please don't fret about how you stack up. In fact, if you have a tendency to worry about how big you are, your confidence is likely to suffer, which a woman can easily sense. Confidence in bed is obvious to women and conversely, low confidence is a turn-off.
Still curious about how you compare to other men? Here are the stats:
