Are Gay Men Better Endowed?
Maybe
July 13, 1999

An investigation into the size of male sex organs reveals that homosexuals are generally better endowed than heterosexuals.

This is a study done by the Kinsey Institute and researchers say there may be some relationship between innate sexual orientation tendencies and the size of genitalia.

Researchers say they surveyed data gathered on 5,172 men and found penis sizes to be larger in homosexuals than heterosexuals based on five measurement standards.

One reason for the differences in penile dimensions could be variations in prenatal hormone levels, according to the study published in the journal, Archives of Sexual Behavior.

Researchers say an earlier study also shows that homosexuals differ, on average, from heterosexuals in genital size. A survey of 126 homosexual men had larger penises on the average than a similar group of 86 heterosexuals.

While the study indicates there may be a link between homosexual orientation in the womb and the larger size of a penis, I’m a little skeptical. There seem to be more questions than answers in an area that hasn’t been adequately explored.

Statistics on Penis Sizes
The following information about penis sizes was taken from the Kinsey Institute of Sex Research. The study was performed on agroup of college men.

Penis Length

All measurements were taken when the penises were erect from apoint at the base of the penis where the top of the penile shaftmeets the pubic area (the peno-pubic junction) to the tip of theglans ("head"). For uncircumcises men the foreskin wasretracted.

Penis Parts
The penis and scrotum are the external sexual organs of men.
.
The Corona 
The ridge of flesh demarcating where the head of the penis and the shaft join. 
The Penis Corona
The Penis Frenum -Frenulum
The Frenum -Frenulum
A thin strip of flesh on the underside of the penis that connects the shaft to the head. 
The Foreskin, Prepuce
 A roll of skin which covers the head of the penis in uncircumcised men. 
The Penis Foreskin, Prepuce
The Penis Urethra, Meatus
The Urethra, Meatus
 Opening at the tip of the penis to allow the passage of both urine and semen. 
The Shaft
 Area from the corona to the scrotum. 
The Penis Shaft
The Scrotum
.
The Scrotum 
 A sac that hangs behind and below the penis, and contains the testes, the male sexual glands. The scrotum's primary function is to maintain the testes at approximately 34 C, the temperature at which the testes most effectively produce sperm. 
.
The Prostrate 
 Produces a fluid that makes up the semen. The prostate gland also squeezes shut the urethra duct to the bladder, thus preventing urine from mixing with the semen.
