A new study by Bespoke Surgical, a sex health clinic in Manhattan, has found that New York men have some of the longest penises in the country. The study surveyed over 3,000 U.S. adults and asked participants with penises to self-report their flaccid and erect lengths. While Iowa took the top spot with an average of 7.31 inches, New York came in 4th with an average of 6.72 inches. The study also found that the majority of people care more about emotional connection and sexual skills than penis size.

Why it matters

This study provides interesting insights into perceptions around penis size and sexuality. While penis size is often treated as an obsession in popular culture, this research suggests that most people care more about factors like emotional connection and sexual performance than physical dimensions. The findings challenge common stereotypes and highlight the importance of focusing on mutual satisfaction and compatibility in intimate relationships.

The details

The study, conducted by Bespoke Surgical, a sex health clinic in Manhattan, surveyed over 3,000 U.S. adults and asked participants with penises to self-report their flaccid and erect lengths. The results showed that Iowa had the longest average penis size at 7.31 inches, followed by South Carolina (7.04 inches) and Arizona (7.01 inches). New York came in 4th place with an average of 6.72 inches. The study also found that New York men have been increasingly getting penis filler injections, a new cosmetic treatment, in order to increase their size. However, the research concluded that the majority of people care more about emotional connection, chemistry, and sexual skills than physical penis dimensions.

What they’re saying

“Penis size is often treated like a cultural fixation, but it's rarely discussed with real numbers attached.”

— Study authors

“It's no secret we're culturally obsessed with inches. Guys inflate, round up, add a little 'creative math.' But when it actually comes down to it, people care a lot more about connection. Compatibility and skill matter a whole lot more than length or girth.”

— Dr. Evan Goldstein, Founder, Bespoke Surgical

The takeaway

This study challenges the cultural fixation on penis size and suggests that most people care more about emotional connection, sexual skills, and mutual satisfaction in intimate relationships rather than physical dimensions. The findings highlight the importance of focusing on compatibility and performance over societal obsessions with size.
