Penile Length Loss After Penile Implant Surgery

Abstract

Simply put, size matters. Our culture's obsession with penile length is evident with just a simple search engine query – which will send one into a deep rabbit hole of “scientific studies” published by a potpourri of medical journals, men's magazines, and clickbait-style media aggregators. Correlations are often proposed between penile size parameters and characteristics such as height, ethnicity, and even shoe size. While there are indeed some legitimate studies, the popular—rather than scientific—media-driven stronghold on this topic highlights its cultural significance.
