US states with the longest penises have been revealed and they might surprise you

Once a symbol of masculine ideals, having a small penis in the modern age has become famously unfashionable.

The size of a guy’s manhood is now inextricably linked to his sexual prowess and suitability as a lover.

The fixation on phallus length has taken on even greater meaning in the United States, with a recent study conducted to ascertain which state has the biggest penis average.

According to a study, the United States ranks 68th in the world for the largest average penis size, with a length of 5.6 inches, but the domestic research points to a bigger picture… quite literally.

“Penis size is often treated like a cultural fixation, but it’s rarely discussed with real numbers attached,” claimed the study authors for Bespoke Surgical, a sex health clinic in Manhattan.

What were the results of the survey?

Surveying over 3,000 men across the 46 states (with the other six not participating), researchers at Bespoke Surgical, discovered that the midwestern state of Iowa ranked first with the largest average.

Iowans are both growers and showers, with the average size coming in at a whopping 7.13 inches.

That said, the one major caveat was that men were required to accurately and honestly self-report on the size of their flaccid penises and erections, which could also point towards which state has the largest proportion of men prepared to be economical with the truth…

Elsewhere, South Carolina and Arizona claimed second and third spot, respectively.

With those in Carolina’s southern reaches chalking up median sizes of 7.04 inches, while Arizonans registered an impressive 7.01 inches.

Meanwhile, New York and Indiana came in at fourth and fifth, respectively, with 6.72 and 6.68 inches.

As for the states that weren’t as well-endowed, New England and Kansas had the smallest erect penises, standing at 5.41 and 5.55 inches, respectively.

Is size really that important?

However, the research suggests size may not be as important as many assume.

Around 31 percent of respondents, both men and women, said their partner’s size doesn’t really matter.

Meanwhile, 89 percent believe society places too much importance on it, with 94 percent of Gen Z participants describing the focus as 'excessive.'

Instead, other factors appear to play a much bigger role in satisfaction. “An overwhelming 96 percent [of respondents] said being a good or skilled lover matters more in bed than penis size,” researchers explained.

They added: “When respondents were asked what matters most in bed, emotional connection (63.9 percent) and chemistry/compatibility (63.5 percent) both outpaced physical attraction (38.4 percent).”

Dr Evan Goldstein also weighed in on the findings, saying: “It’s no secret we’re culturally obsessed with inches. Guys inflate, round up, add a little ‘creative math.’”

“But when it actually comes down to it, people care a lot more about connection,” he continued.

“Compatibility and skill matter a whole lot more than length or girth.”
