It’s a debate as old as the chicken or the egg – does size really matter?

Men around the world are obsessed with the size of their manhood, if it’s big enough, or even how to make it bigger.

The average length is around 3.4 inches flaccid, and 5.5 inches erect. But a 2015 study from the British Journal of Urology International found that just 55% of men were satisfied with their sausage.

But it may be something men who have sex with other men think more about.

Does size really matter?

Over on the Reddit sub r/askgaybros, someone posed the question: “Does size matter for gays?”

The responses were very varied, with some sharing their personal experiences and why they have the preference they do. Meanwhile, some made it clear there were other conditions on what made someone attractive for a roll in the hay.

One person said: “I’d like to say it didn’t, but I’d be lying. A larger penis gets my attention. That said, it is really a package deal for me. Also important are personality, a cute face and a nice physique.”

Someone else said: “It helps but not if the person is an even bigger d***.”

One response said: “Depends on the gay.”

Another comment read: “Yes, and anyone who says it doesn’t matter is probably lying to reassure the other person.”

One Reddit user said: “No it doesn’t, depends on how the person looks and personality.”

Another said: “I prefer smaller guys. I’m a bottom and I just find the smaller ones easier to handle.”

While one, who said they were an escort, said length wasn’t a big deal at all. “What really matters is the girth of the meat, rather than the length,” they wrote. “An average length with extra thickness will make you scream.”

So there you have it. By the sounds of it, this debate will outlive both the chicken and the egg.
