I would agree with that -- that it really only matters at the extremes -- but there are many women who do judge based on the size of a flaccid penis, which really doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think I now know why male actors (not porn actors) are not keen on full frontal movie roles -- women ARE going to judge their sexual prowess based on what they see on the screen.
it's vainglorious to think you're going to impress a passage that can accommodate a baby's head.
Having had a baby and all, I can tell you that just because the vagina can stretch to accommodate a baby's head, doesn't mean that a nice sized penis isn't going to be appreciated; particularly if the kegel muscles are stillin good shape. During birth, the mother's body is in overdrive to make sure the vagina is in the proper condition to deliver a baby.
I think women do in fact select their mates with pleasure in mind. Of course women want other things in a man (a job, money, car, good personality, funny, good heart, flat abs, nice legs, good teeth, eye color, nice build, whatever floats her boat), and I certainly think some of them can make up for a lack of size (say less than 3" erect), but it would be tough. I don't know many women willing to make that sacrifice, to be honest. It probably just depends on how important sex is to the woman.
I have a friend who hates sex and her and her husband average maybe once or twice a year. She probably couldn't care less if he was poorly endowed.
Thanks for responding to the OP--I think it is fascinating research, and I feared I had wrong-footed it with humor I meant to be disarming.
You're welcome.
It's an awkward topic, to be sure. I wasn't sure whether to be funny or serious, either.
