Is this news?

Girls like bigger penises. Doesn't have to be a monster huge one and they don't want it on a jerk or someone who can't use it right but they do like something with some size save for a few women who prefer small to average guys.

Interesting study in Scotland. I can agree. That stated, everyone needs to remember that the Human Brain is the largest Sex Organ.

It says they have more orgasms when it exceeds 5.8 inches.
That's hardly big.
The average is about 5.5-6 so a lot of men would be larger than 5.8

I can't find the original study on this; from what I'd read, they only checked that longer than average is correlated with women who report higher vaginal orgasms. I agree it seems odd to leave girth out of the equation.

Of the many types of orgasms, this study focused on just one (one which typically requires rubbing around the cervix more) so yeah it's not surprising longer = more orgasms there. I kind of love feeling an orgasm from going deep. It's always a little surprising when it happens (I'm generally thinking more of myself than about getting her off) but feels great.
It's just one of many kinds of orgasms, and I'm sure for the shorter-dicks out there, they can get in closer and grind the clit more easily, and average guys are nicely positioned on the g-spot. I don't agree that this study means bigger = better, just that everyone's better at different things.

Well you actually can't 'google it' to get the article, since it's only available on sites which require paid registration like pubmed, but thanks for the laziest possible response.

I did find the authors web page:
Stuart Brody, PhD

the study the media is often citing is called "Simultaneous penile-vaginal orgasm is associated with sexual satisfaction."

It's definitely never claiming that bigger = better (which implies that a 12" dick is somehow better than an 8" one), just that women who have + enjoy vaginal orgasms claim that ones average or longer (5.8") get them off vaginally more than ones shorter than average. So of the 1/3rd of women who actually care about dick size at all (according to this sample), it's more an endorsement of 'above average' (I'd say 6.5" or more) than 'big'

You can see the issue he was published in here:
The Journal of Sexual Medicine - Volume 9, Issue 9 - September 2012 - Wiley Online Library
though it was published in the "letters to the editor" section. Hmm..
