For men wish\u00ading to at\u00adtract wom\u00aden, pe\u00adnis size mat\u00adters about as much as body height, and a good broad-shouldered fig\u00adure mat\u00adters much more than ei\u00adther, new re\u00adsearch sug\u00adgests.<\/p>\n
Sci\u00aden\u00adtists ex\u00adam\u00adined the rel\u00ada\u00adtive im\u00adpor\u00adtance of these traits in fe\u00admale rank\u00adings of male at\u00adtractiveness us\u00ading life-sized, com\u00adput\u00ader-gen\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded im\u00adages of nude men.<\/p>\n
The study was the first to as\u00adsess the im\u00adpor\u00adtance of those three fac\u00adtors in com\u00adbina\u00adt\u00adion rath\u00ader than in isola\u00adt\u00adion, said the in\u00adves\u00adti\u00adga\u00adtors, Bri\u00adan S. Mautz of Aus\u00adtral\u00adian Na\u00adt\u00adional Uni\u00advers\u00adity and col\u00adleagues. This change is im\u00adpor\u00adtant be\u00adcause fe\u00admales might eval\u00adu\u00adate fac\u00adtors in rela\u00adt\u00adion to each oth\u00ader: for ex\u00adam\u00adple, \u201cthe same sized pe\u00adnis might be per\u00adceived dif\u00adfer\u00adently on short and tall men,\u201d the re\u00adsearch\u00aders wrote, re\u00adport\u00ading their study in this week\u2019s early on\u00adline is\u00adsue of the jour\u00adnal Pro\u00adceed\u00adings of the Na\u00adtio\u00adn\u00adal Aca\u00adde\u00admy of Sci\u00aden\u00adces.<\/p>\n
Mautz and col\u00adleagues wrote that they pre\u00adsented a sam\u00adple 105, het\u00ader\u00ado\u00adsex\u00adual Aus\u00adtral\u00adian wom\u00aden of av\u00ader\u00adage age 26 \u201cwith pro\u00adjected life-size, com\u00adput\u00ader gen\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded male fig\u00adures. Each fig\u00adure was an an\u00adi\u00admat\u00aded [4-second] vi\u00addeo in which the fig\u00adure ro\u00adtated 30 de\u00adgrees to each side to al\u00adlow par\u00adti\u00adci\u00adpants to more easily eval\u00adu\u00adate the fig\u00adure. We tested for the ef\u00adfects of flac\u00adcid pe\u00adnis size, body shape (shoulder-to-hip ra\u00adtio), and height on male sex\u00adu\u00adal at\u00adtractiveness. The lat\u00adter two traits have reg\u00adu\u00adlarly been in\u00adves\u00adt\u00adi\u00adgated and are known to in\u00adflu\u00adence male at\u00adtractiveness or re\u00adpro\u00adduc\u00adtive suc\u00adcess.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new find\u00adings show that \u201cfe\u00admale mate choice could have played a role in the ev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion of the rel\u00ada\u00adtively large hu\u00adman male pe\u00adnis,\u201d along with those two oth\u00ader traits, they wrote.<\/p>\n
The im\u00adages used in the study were life-sized in or\u00adder to more real\u00adis\u00adtic\u00adally as\u00adsess the role of height, Mautz and col\u00adleagues wrote. They not\u00aded that a fe\u00adma\u00adle\u2019s own body shape could in\u00adflu\u00adence her rat\u00adings, too; for in\u00adstance, taller wom\u00aden placed more of a pre\u00admi\u00adum on taller men.<\/p>\n
Over\u00adall, broad shoul\u00adders as com\u00adpared to the hips were the most im\u00adpor\u00adtant fac\u00adtor in at\u00adtractiveness rat\u00adings, ac\u00adcount\u00ading for 79.6 per\u00adcent of the varia\u00adt\u00adion in these rank\u00adings, the study found. Pe\u00adnis size and height ac\u00adcounted for 6.1 per\u00adcent and 5.1 per\u00adcent, re\u00adspec\u00adtive\u00adly.<\/p>\n
