Excerpt from the Chapter "Size Matters..." pages 25-32.
"Who can deny the allure of a big dick? Flaccid or erect, it is aesthetically stunning - commanding every onlooker to consider its capacity and consequence. Many viewing the photos for this book blurted out, "I wouldn't let that near me!" As if anyone were offering. Everyone takes the big penis personally, as an object of fear, arousal, and endless fascination, that last derived from the Latin fascinum, meaning both phallus and magical spirit. Big shoulders, big lapels, and big hair may come and go, but the big penis never goes out of fashion. And because humans walk upright, their penises are a more obvious accessory than those of most animals, a quirk that has hardly escaped man himself.
The medieval codpiece began as a practical addition to European menswear in about 1420. Men wore just tunics and stockings at the time, as underwear didn't exist, and when tunics got shorter a simple triangle of cloth was designed to hide the genitals. Over the next hundred years this flap of cloth was refashioned - first to lift and project, then padded, then padded a great deal more, then molded into an elongated oval that projected up and from the groin, giving the appearance of a permanent erection. By 1500 codpieces were worn from England to Italy, with every country vying to outdo the others in size and originality of adornment. In all, the style had a 150-year run, nearly unheard of in fashion, finally achieving such ludicrous proportions it collapsed under the weight of ridicule around 1580.
The evolutionary path of the codpiece illustrates the intense competition engendered by penile display, a competition older than man himself. Many species of monkeys establish group hierarchy and mating rights by displaying an erect penis. When confronted by a superior erection, a male of lower status responds by cowering. An interesting evolutionary result is that primates who engage in penile display are better endowed.
The gorilla, for example, has the smallest penis of the great apes, measuring a humble 1.2 inches when erect. Gorillas also operate under the one-male mating system, wherein the dominant male has the right to impregnate all the females, making penile competition unnecessary. Chimpanzees, on the other hand, must compete with other males to win favor with females, who are free to choose their own mates. Chimps are fervent displayers with penises nearly three times the size of the gorilla's. Since humans have the largest penises among the primates, we may speculate that man was showing off long before the codpiece came along.
Professor Alfred Kinsey was probably the most prolific penis measurer in history, collecting statistics from 3,500 men in his 1948 book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. The Kinsey Institute recently updated this study with over 300 volunteers who were personally measured by researchers. Likewise, other studies, such as the one published in the September 1996 Journal of Urology, as well as the one conducted by Dr. Kevan Wylie, whose study included 11,531 men, have consistently shown that the average erect penis is only 5.08 inches long. In the vast majority of men, penis girth ranges from 3.82-4.71 inches, though there are outliers on both sides. Further research, especially by Kinsey, has shown that the majority of men (86%) have a penis that is between 4 and 5.6 inches long. Anything larger is statistically speaking, large. Of course, as already indicated with girth, there are parameters on each end for length. For example, less than 1.8% of the world's population has a penis measuring over 7.5 inches and despite measuring thousands and thousands of penises, Kinsey never discovered a penis bigger than 9 inches. While this book contains 487 pages of the biggest cocks the world has ever seen, only a precious few of these models are part of the elite and elusive 1.8%. Their photographs and measurements follow for your viewing pleasure.
While figures are compelling, it doesn't take a tape measure to tell us when a cock is big. Many men with perfectly average-sized penises worry they don't measure up, but every man with a big penis knows just what he's got. And the big the cock, the more he will want to display it for men and women alike.
Men, more than others in the primate family, are constant competitors of penis size. As a female who has spent a lifetime studying penises and the men who have them, the most fascinating aspect of penis size is the comparison factor. Beginning in the early stages of sexual maturity and continuing throughout their lives, men - especially those who are above-average - will compare the size of their penises (this behavior begins to peak around 16 and continues strongly into a man's early 40s). A man will find great and irresistible opportunities to compare the size of his penis to his peers' in locker rooms, gym showers and saunas, and well as at un-partitioned urinals. From my understanding, comparing in these situations can range from a quick glance to a fierce competition in which men will literally measure one another's penises or place their respective reproductive organs side-by-side for closer examination. One thing is almost certain - a well-endowed man will display his penis when afforded an opportunity to do so. Lesser men will take note of his superior cock size and marvel and leave filled with envy and/or lust. If one well-endowed man sees another well hung man showing off, his pride demands that he sidle up for comparison. Although words may or may not be spoken, they will determine which man's penis is bigger, including both length and girth.
While women have diverse feelings about penis size based upon their fantasies and experiences, men - no matter how small or big their own penis may be - want women to want big penises. In fact, one study on men and their sexual psychology investigated the response of heterosexual men to seeing a penis bigger than their own in person (such as at a urinal or in the showers). The results showed that over 98% of straight men will masturbate 7x or more in response to seeing a penis bigger than his own. The reason? After getting out-classed, these men reported fantasizing about seeing their wives or girlfriends pleasured by the bigger penis. Yet, while the majority of men have such reactions, most will keep this fantasy hidden from their partner.
In my long career editing men's magazines, I encountered many straight men obsessed with penis size. Many of these men would write me anonymous letters confessing their sordid fantasies about cock size. One middle aged man, who called himself "Brad," wrote in describing the jealousy he felt over a young man who worked with his wife "Lauren.” At the wedding reception of a young lady who worked with Lauren, this young, handsome man casually asked Lauren for a dance? Brad claimed that his relationship was secure enough that they frequently danced with others at social events. As Brad watched the dance neared completion, he stepped to the men's room to use the urinal. Brad said he felt comfortable being exposed in front of others because he has an average-sized penis (a very normal 5 inches hard and about 2.5 inches flaccid). Moments later, though, his wife's young co-worker came and stood beside him. As Brad stood there with his flaccid penis hanging from his trousers, the young man unbuckled his pants to reveal a very large, erect penis capped with a fat, mushroom head. Brad estimated the young man's hardened member to have been between 6.8 and 7 inches long and thick. Brad knew the young man had achieved this monstrous erection while slow dancing with Lauren. Had Lauren felt the pressure of her friend’s knob as they swayed to the music? Brad told me the worst part was that he knew this young man could penetrate his wife 2 inches deeper than he could as well as spread her wider than he was able with his more modest girth. Though Brad never told his wife about the incident or the young man’s big dick, his letter indicated that his own cock frequently stiffened at the mental image of seeing his wife putting this younger man's bigger penis into her mouth. If the countless anonymous letters I have received have taught me anything about men, it is that Brad's experience is typical of how men think down about penis size, sexual status and women.
Psychologist Deborah Herbernick said this information should not be surprising because men so desperately want women to desire a bigger penis - even if it hurts to believe it. Herbernick notes that after a man starts dating a woman, he typically wants to know about the size of her previous lovers' penises. Likewise, a man whose partner has cheated will want to know if the other man was larger. This can provide a hurting man, even unbeknownst to his partner, with hours of masturbatory pleasure even though he still hates the idea of her taking a cock bigger than his own. So, it may be more helpful than harmful for men to believe women want bigger penises. Perhaps this explains why John Holmes (to whom an entire section of this book is dedicated) rose to such popularity in the first rush of sexual freedom of the press. Some of the largest porn stars in the industry watched in hedonistic horror as Holmes gave the women they had previously fucked with more cock than they themselves were able to provide. I hope you enjoy such photographs and the sporadic stories that accompany them.
One final word: Women, no matter what you allow into your vagina, I hope you will find the pictures in this book stimulating. Men, enjoy comparing the size of your own penis to the sizes of the ones pictured in this book and imagine the capacity and consequence of the size difference.
Bon appétit,
