Man, you won’t believe what I got into today. The topic is “What is a penis worth?” Sounds crazy, right? Well, it turned into quite the rabbit hole, let me tell you.
Diving In
So, first thing I did was just throw that question into the search bar, just to see what the internet would cough up. And boy, did it deliver. I was hit with all sorts of stuff, from medical journals to some pretty wild forums.
Getting My Hands Dirty
I started skimming through some of the more, uh, “scientific” articles. There’s this one guy, Shackelford, who’s got this theory about the shape of the penis head. He reckons it’s all about, get this, “facilitating displacement of a recent ejaculate deposited by a rival male.” Yeah, I know, it sounds nuts, but the dude’s got evidence. Or so he says.
Nerve Endings and All That
Then I stumbled upon some stuff about how the nerves in your penis change as you get older. Turns out, they get less sensitive. Which, I guess, explains why some older dudes have trouble getting it up or, you know, finishing the job. Testosterone levels drop, and that’s a whole other can of worms.
Size Matters?
Next up, I found this massive online survey, with over 52,000 people. They were all rating penis sizes and attractiveness. Most guys, 66%, thought they were average. But here’s the kicker: dudes with bigger ones were seen as more attractive. Go figure.
What the Ladies Think
But it’s not just about size, right? I dug deeper and found some studies on what women actually prefer. Length, width, which one’s more important? It’s a whole debate, and the science is kinda all over the place. Some say width matters more for, ahem, “satisfaction.” Others say it’s all about length. It’s a mess.

Getting Philosophical
Then things took a weird turn. I found myself reading about Irvin D. Yalom and existential therapy. I don’t even know how I got there, but suddenly I was thinking about the meaning of life and, well, penises. I guess it’s all connected somehow?
The Stats
Here’s a fun fact: about 50% of humans have a penis. And apparently, there are tons of things most people don’t know about them. I found a list of “10 lesser-known facts,” and some of them were pretty wild.
Wrapping Up
So, after hours of this, I’m left with more questions than answers. It’s a complex organ, used for peeing and, you know, the other thing. Most guys think the average is over 6 inches (15.24 cm), but apparently, that’s not quite right. It’s a whole world of misinformation and, frankly, some pretty strange science.
Anyway, that’s my deep dive into the worth of a penis. It’s been a wild ride, and honestly, I’m not sure what to think anymore. But hey, at least I learned a lot, right?
