Survey exposes what women really think about their partner's penis size - and most say they are not satisfied
A shock survey reveals that the vast majority of female participants are not satisfied by how endowed their partners are.
Of those asked, nine in 10 said they wished their man had a bigger penis.
The most desirable erect length was 7.5in - about 50 per cent larger than the average member amongst men in the U.S. and UK, which was between 5in and 5.5in.
The survey by Moorgate Andrology Clinic, which performs penis enlargements in the UK, found the desire for larger was true for women aged 18 years old to those in their mid-60s.
Moorgate's David Mills said: 'To find that women want around seven and a half inches with a bigger-than-average girth reinforces what we've known for years, we just haven't had the proof until now.
'It confirms that overall women are not telling the truth if they say penis size isn't a factor.'
The results would surely sting the up to 50 per cent of men in those nations who reported feeling self-conscious about the size of their penis.
Mills believed the new study could lead to an increase in penis enlargement surgeries, and it might also help women feel more open about talking to their partners about their satisfaction.
Urology specialists at Moorgate said: 'The subject of penis size is becoming less and less taboo and studies, such as the one we have launched, will also help in this respect. It is about body image and confidence.
'Having a small penis can really affect men, giving them low self-esteem, making it difficult for them to have relationships, and stopping them enjoying a normal life.'
For the research, 180 women were shown 27 'life-like' models of penises, varying in size, from 2in to 10in while erect.
The women were asked: 'What is the smallest sexual partner you've ever had? What is your current partner's size? What is the biggest you have seen? and what would be your ideal size for sex?'
About 90 per cent said they wanted their partner to be larger than their actual size, with an average length of 7.5in.
Of those, 40 per cent said they wanted their partners to have more girth.
Moorgate's Mills said: 'By starting these conversations, we want to make penis enlargement surgery as acceptable as breast enlargement is.
'This is the start of some serious medical research that we are undertaking.'
Penis enlargement surgery is an increasingly popular procedure performed via several different methods.
Some physicians took fat from other areas of the body and injected it into the organ, while others used fillers under the skin.
Doctors might also cut the suspensory ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone to make it hang lower and seem longer while flaccid.
Recent research suggested male enhancement procedures such as these had increased in the U.S. over 250 per cent between 2019 and 2022.
While bigger seemed better, more length and girth could also prove painful for some women. Anywhere from five to 17 per cent of American women had vaginismus, a condition where the vagina tightened when something's inserted into it.
Also, women going through menopause had a thinner vaginal lining due to a lack of estrogen, which could make sex more painful, especially with a larger penis.

I always had thin hair until I started using Ordinary's serum & I noticed new growth in a month – it's thicker & softer
MANY people want to get thick, luscious locks, but it can be hard to know which product is best for you. One woman shared how she'd had thin hair her 'whole life', but noticed huge growth and thickness with one product from The Ordinary. 3 3 She used their Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density, which costs £20.80, but has numerous five star reviews. The product is a 'concentrated leave-in formula' which is designed to support your scalp and leave you with 'thicker, denser, fuller-looking hair.' The formula includes 'peptide technologies alongside a series of plant-based extracts.' All you need to do is massage a few drops onto your clean, dry scalp once daily, ideally at bedtime - and there's no need to wash off. One person who loved its effects, left a five-star review on the product page and shared striking before and after photos. She explained: 'I have always had thin hair my whole life - and the last 5 years it has thinned even more from stress and health issues. 'I decided to try this. 'It was easy to add into my routine at night - and I first noticed that my hair was so much more clean and healthy! 'It wasn't as greasy as it usually could be on day 2 or 3 with no hair wash and it also had a softer and smoother texture, which was amazing after having dyed my hair so many times.' As well as using The Ordinary's serum, she also combined it with a glycolic acid treatment two to three times a week to exfoliate her scalp and add moisture to her hair. Pregnant Georgia Harrison reveals her glam new look ahead of Ibiza trip She continued: 'The change in my hair health was amazing - I had pretty hair! 'I noticed new growth a month or two after starting and was thrilled. 'After six months, my hair had become thicker and more healthy and soft and luscious. 'I love this product and highly recommend it, along with the glycolic acid for increasing your hair density.' Another person joked that it was a 'remedy for us Gollums.' They shared: 'This product is a game changer, truly. I can't recommend it enough.' Rush hair expert reveals how to repair damaged hair TINA Farey, Editorial director at Rush Hair, shares her advice… HOW TO RESTORE DAMAGED HAIR Whilst you can't fully reserve the effects of damaged hair, you can stop the problem from growing. Depending on the condition of your hair, I'd recommend getting a trim every six to eight weeks - this will prevent any split ends from travelling further up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair's overall structure and leads to more breakage. Even just an inch of the ends will completely transform the appearance of your hair – trust me. When it comes to products to help restore damaged hair, Goldwell's Rich Repair Treatment Mask is a firm favourite – strengthening damaged locks to be healthy and shiny once again. HOW TO PREVENT DAMAGE My number one tip is to always use a heat protectant – even if you're only blow-drying your hair. Consistent heat styling without one will leave your hair open to heat damage. I'd also recommend refraining from over-washing your hair as this can strip the hair of its natural oils – nobody wants a dry and irritated scalp! And finally, swap your sleek, slick back for a hair down day! They may be in fashion at the moment, but over time all that tension on your strands from being pulled will wreak havoc on your hair follicles – this could lead to thinning and bald spots in areas where the hair is constantly pulled.

Carrie Johnson taken to hospital with severe dehydration
Carrie Johnson was admitted to hospital with severe dehydration because of the hot weather. The wife of Boris Johnson said she had spent two nights in hospital after a 'brutal' week in which she also suffered from mastitis, a form of breast inflammation. Mrs Johnson gave birth to her fourth child, a girl named Poppy, in May. Writing on Instagram on Friday, she said: 'Being hospitalised for two nights for severe dehydration was not on my postpartum bingo card. 'Breastfeeding mums make sure you eat and drink enough in this heat. Especially if your babe is clusterfeeding.' Temperatures are set to surpass 30C this weekend. Clusterfeeding is when a baby feeds very frequently in a few hours before going without milk for extended periods. Mrs Johnson added: 'This week has honestly been brutal. Mastitis (me), Reflux (her), Dehydration (me). What a pair we are! But thank you for all the kindest messages, especially all the brilliant advice on reflux. Really appreciate it and made me feel way less alone going [through] it all. And as ever, thanks to our amazing NHS.' Mr and Mrs Johnson have three other children together: Wilf, five, Romy, three, and Frank, one. Mrs Johnson is a former communications officer who worked for the Conservative Party from 2009 to 2019. She acted as a media special adviser for Conservative Cabinet ministers including Sajid Javid and John Whittingdale. In 2018, at the age of 29, she was appointed as the Conservative party's head of communications during the government of Theresa May. She left the position a year later. Her relationship with Mr Johnson was announced in 2019 as he was preparing to run for the leadership of the Conservative Party and the country. When Mr Johnson became premier in July of that year, she became the first unmarried partner of a prime minister to reside in Downing Street. While living there, they had Wilfred and Romy. They are thought to have met as early as 2010 when Mrs Johnson, née Symonds, was a press officer working on Mr Johnson's campaign to be reselected as the Conservative candidate for London mayor. The couple now live in South Oxfordshire where they own a Grade II listed 17th-century country house. The house is surrounded by five acres of grounds and has nine bedrooms.

WHO: Lab leak cannot be ruled out as Covid source
The report said that the 'weight of available evidence' suggested a zoonotic spillover, but warned investigators could not 'conclude with certainty where and when this occurred'. The WHO has called for an independent review of what research was being carried out in laboratories near the wet market, including biosafety practices and the health of staff prior to the outbreak. Before the pandemic, WIV had collected more than 220 Sars-related coronaviruses, at least 100 of which were never made public. Members of staff were also photographed wearing inadequate levels of personal protective equipment while handling bats. US intelligence also discovered that three researchers at WIV had sought treatment at a hospital after falling ill with Covid-like symptoms in November 2019. In 2023, a US Senate committee inquiry concluded: 'The preponderance of circumstantial evidence supports an unintentional research-related incident.' WIV was stripped of United States government funding the same year after it was determined the laboratory had conducted dangerous experiments that increased the potency of coronaviruses before the pandemic. Dr Marietjie Venter, chairman of the Sago group said: 'Understanding the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and how it sparked a pandemic is needed to help prevent future pandemics, save lives and livelihoods, and reduce global suffering.'
