Even MORE overnight interest in Michael Phelps’ penis
As I posted yesterday, a lot of people are curious about 23 year old Michael Phelps’ penis. Maybe it’s because of the media attention around how Speedo apparently seems to have airbrushed his penis out of promo photos. Or maybe it is because NBC has described - in much detail - Michael Phelps’ large shoe size (size 14!) and hand size (like paddles!) making people wonder whether the rest of his body is as large. It’s unclear how he feels about this kind of attention - on one hand it must be quite flattering, and he certainly takes opportunities to pose for various magazine covers, etc. On the other hand, I’d guess it must feel a bit awkward or demeaning. The guy is a stellar athlete, has shown enormous commitment and perserverance to train, and yet people want to know about his genitals.
Hmmm…. so shall we shift the focus for a moment to a science-y look?
As in, what can we learn from this cultural obsession with Phelps’ gentials? Well, scientific research suggestst hat penis size is not well predicted by the size of one’s feet, hands or nose, as some myths suggest. You can’t even tell the size of a man’s erect penis just by looking at the size of his flaccid penis, as some men are "showers" (they gain little length when they become erect) and others are "growers" (gaining more length when they become erect). So while people may be curious about Phelps’ penis because his body looks attractive to them, the size of the rest of him isn’t much of an indicator about his genitals. And anyway, size is only one aspect of penile size - technique matters quite a lot to sexual satisfaction, as does relationship quality (well, at least in cases where there is a relationship to speak of).
But back to Phelps.
