questionaire for the fortunate few

[petite]

I think both are correct,

Yes very difficult, unless it was backed by a large drug company that had interests in these areas, even then it would be a one in a million chance of ever being on the team that did the research. Also results that come from tests that are funded by the drug companies, usually will skew in a way that favors the drug company. As a psychology statistician, you can skew numbers to make them read what you want.

Secondly, as you said, most universities/professors would probably see it as a low priority as opposed to health or infrastructure research. You would need to have a professor who already has researched into sexual therapy and chosen it as a career path. There is none at my uni, all the subject matter is very stale.

Im not up on who the "popular" sex therapists are, but maybe a quick look on google scholar will give you an idea. Once you have found an author, look for his/hers other articles that may relate to similar subject matter.

Actually I just did look it up on Google Scholar, which I posted about above.

Out of curiosity, I did a search on research on the subject of perceptions of penis size and most of the ones that popped up first them seem to be done by urologists who are also sex therapists who did training at a psychiatric facility, not psychiatrists or psychologists, which was unexpected. A lot of papers I found were actually published in urology journals, not psychiatric ones.

I take it back, I have found some in some sexual research journals and psychiatric journals on things like coping strategies for men with micropenis and jealousy over feelings of penile inadequacy. The psychological impact of circumcision was in a urology journal.

An amusingly titled one called Penis Greed about penis envy (in women, of course). :biggrin1:

Freud coined the term "Penis Envy"

I know that. And while I think he was onto something when it comes to how obsessed men are with penises, I don't think he had much insight into the female mind, if he meant for "penis envy" to be taken literally. I don't believe that women literally envy having penises, we just envy male privilege in our society, which is what I thought he really meant when he coined the phrase.

All this time I thought that Freud was being insightful about the female condition, but it appears that psychiatrists use the phrase literally. There are lots of research using that phrase to describe women who wish they were men or women who literally want penises.

I had no idea that urology journals contained so many papers on what I would consider to be the psychology of penises. Like this one:

I don't believe that women literally envy having penises, we just envy male privilege in our society, which is what I thought he really meant when he coined the phrase.

That is how i interpret it, not that females envy having a penis in a literal sense.

there is also Vagina Envy, but that sits a little bit differently, more so that some males may envy having a womb and being able to reproduce etc.

Envy is a complicated and powerful feeling. It is a grudging desire for another's excellence or advantage. This excellence or advantage may be real or imaginary. Rosenblatt (1988) suggests that this feeling can (a) direct human growth by emulation, (b) be assimilated by coming to terms, (c) be turned inward as a narcissistic wound, or (d) turn to rage and anger at being deprived.
Women may envy men. Penis envy exists in women. Kirkpatrick (1990) discusses penis envy. She finds that normal female gender development accepts the lack of a penis as a fact. There is no psychic energy invested in penis envy. If energy is invested in penis envy severe psychological dysfunction can ensue, as reported by Satow (1983) in a female patient under her care.
Likewise, men may envy women. Breast and womb envy have been described in men. I believe that breast and womb envy are relatively easily sublimated by a man by providing a home and nurturing environment for his wife and family.

There are lots of research papers using the term "penis envy" literally. I suppose that these terms would used to describe people who want to change sex?

Incidentally, I think that the OP really is that guy's boyfriend. I won't say how I know, but I found evidence that he's telling the truth about that. Perhaps if Giles wants to poll the membership of LPSG, he should join and create a thread himself? So that people aren't so skeptical.

many thanks in advance men!:wink:

If it is your BF'S paper, why are you doing the research???

 

[ramsgate18]

1. how else wud you guys get 100 responses on penis size
2. i am typing up the questionaire on here as i am already a member my partner isnt
3. sex therapy can also encomopass penis envy and performance anxiety
4. i was unaware this site was so full of grammar nazis!

I'm sorry for wasting anyones time, was just trying to do my boyfriend a favour, if you want to ask him to prove his thesis visit his site www.gilesthesextherapist.com and contact him there.

Just for shits and giggles, here goes:

1) Queer, latent bisexual;

2) 8 X 6;

3) 50;

4) Neither, but I practice lengthy foreplay;

5) It was not especially great for me, but my partner came twice, though I didn't cum at all.

6) In the shower in Junior High: considering the degree to which I was bullied, it felt like something of an equalizer, though I was hardly the biggest;

7) Face to face, always;

8) No;

9) Not because of my size, no: but it took several years before I understood what "hard-wired nipples" really meant and how to really put them to good use;

10) I'm a totally dominant top.

Whether I've helped anything beyond wank fodder or not, there's the truth.

Typing in correct English (you are English, right?) would help to allay many suspicions...jus' sayin'.

 

[ramsgate18]

apologies for any typos or spelling mistakes, i tend to type fast and miss any spelling mistakes til i look back

and yes i am english

Some MA "studies" are weird, but this one is off the charts. Frankly, don't believe any credible institution would allow it. I suspect Ram just gets off on big numbers.

You know, it might be interesting if you posted the subjects your boyfriend podcasts about, when he does his show, and how we can listen live. Then, some of us might take part "in real time," via phone or chat or some other method. Most podcasts struggle for an audience, but this is a way you could build some audience for your boyfriend. If it were OK with the powers that be here, that is.

Sorry I may be a dick for this, but I wouldn't respond to a supposed masters thesis with multiple grammatical errors.

Listen up... it's the boyfriend who's doing the thesis. :rolleyes2:

It'd be interesting to see how the findings of the LPSG survey will be referenced in the citations for the thesis!

1. Use surveymonkey i have seen some phd students use that.
2. see q1, will give more credibility.
3. yes, yes it can.
4. i honestly dont care, as long as i can read it. See quote

Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Formalise the test a bit more, get BF to check for grammatical errors, put it on survey monkey, tell his listeners to go to it, share links on forums, pass out the link at uni's. You will get 100 no problem if you put in a little work.

I'm not questioning the use of surveymonkey, but how will the OP get a lot of men with larger than average cocks to answer it if he uses surveymonkey? Advertising at universities and on the podcast will get an average spread of men of all sizes, which is a problem depending on how you define large penis. If he defines it as the upper 10% of men, then he'd have to get ~1,000 responses to get 100 men with large penises.

Unless you're suggesting that he post a link from surverymonkey here on LPSG?

Not such a bad idea, especially since that would increase the possibility that respondents could provide proof of their size in private and they might feel a lot more comfortable revealing more about themselves that way than here on the open forum. It might help a lot if the OP seemed to be more appreciative of those who have taken their time to answer the questionnaire so far, though.

I found some podcasts by Giles here:

[glowfish]

1. straight as an arrow
2. check sig
3. 26
4. Probably length, girth is easily dealt with using lube.
5. "Glad I'm not a virgin any more", but didn't really enjoy it that much
6. Probably more arrogant for a while during teen years, but as I've gotten older it has become less of a core part of my identity. I have a lot more in my life to be proud of than just having a large cock.
7. Cowgirl, up against the wall, lotus. Almost always end up finishing in missionary since it seems to make for the most intense orgasms (and I don't cum easily).
8. Nope
9. Nope. Having a big cock means you really have to be good at foreplay so she's armed up enough to take it all, and despite the myth that larger guys are lazy I think most hung guys realise that it's not enough on its own, but that if you know how to fuck and you've got the equipment you can really blow a woman's mind.
10. Dominant. Seems like that's what girls enjoy the most.

 

[lorne]

1.male
2. size (22x16cm)
3. 26
4. more often length
5. That I loved it heheh
6. I was stupified I had mis-under stood average lengths in sex ed and thought that 12-16 was soft average. I thought compared to the anatomy diagrams my balls looked tiny since they didnt hang past the penis. When I asked about what would cause that, I got scolded in class, but the girl I sat with corrected me after laughing at my mistake for a good while.
7. standing doggy style
8. Yes I have had about 5-6 hook ups that have said no upon viewing
9. not yet, knock on wood heheh
10. I like being in charged but will gladly let a woman who knows what she wants run the show
