Why Penises Are Getting Smaller

I offer no evidence for this theory but ask you to accept it because I'm very clever and found some pics on Google.

Back in the day, the main requirements of a husband was he had a steady job, was free from TB and was able to satisfy your cardinal desires. Penis size was an important factor in choosing a husband. Your job was to clean the house, cook dinner and bare children until he died fighting to expand the empire or from an opium overdose.

Sultan Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif, better known as Ismail the bloodthirsty fathered 888 children. You don't get to dick that many girls even if you are sultan unless your packing a serious size kebab.

Victorian women were notorious for churning out huge families. Again this wouldn't have happened if the men back then were small .

If we travel further back into antiquity we see penises get bigger and bigger

And even prehistoric cave art shows the importance of a large penis.

With the invention of cinema, Hollywood created a new list of must have characteristics. Now he had to be tall and good-looking as well as having a big penis, a good job and free of whatever disease was doing the rounds. Even the seaside postcards of the era sent a clear message, you're not a real man unless you've got a big dick

But all that was about to change, with each new movie star the concept of the perfect husband grew. Around the same time feminism took hold. Even if you weren't a hard-line radical you were still influenced by the growing movement and the pressure on men increased. In under a 100 year's womens ideal man went from having "long dick with a heavy wallet" to a complex long list of demands.

As the list grew the importance of each characteristic decreased. Suddenly men who weren't blessed with big dicks were able to find wives just as long as they ticked 20 other boxes like being able to dance or having a nice haircut or cool tattoo.

This caused a massive shift in the genepool forcing down the average penis size from 8 inches to a paltry 5 inches and it continues to shrink.

With the Internet came easy access to porn. As we all know pornstars are larger than the average modern man and are closer in size to what you're great grandmother sought on a Friday night. The average modern man felt his 5 inch penis couldn't complete and many not having great jobs or nice cars simply gave up trying. On the other hand small men used to ridicule took up the slack by investing in facial hair, tattoos and acting really alpha. Scientists predict in the next 100 years this will shrink the average penis to 4 inches.

So there you go, it's all womens fault.

    Of course, the truth is that penis size was rarely considered an important issue - certainly not for choosing a relationship partner, though I'm sure it played a bigger role for casual sex partner selection - until porn started to become widespread in the 1990s, and in particular since it became universally accessible on the Internet and women started consuming it widely and regularly.

    It's only been since the end of WWII (and not until the 1960s in Europe, due to the rebuilding necessary after the war) that the world has been civilized to the point that women could reasonably survive without a man - prior to WWII, the nature of the world was such that women couldn't survive alone outside of a handful of relatively civilized cities, and most people lived rurally. Survival trumps the desire for a big dick, and so women chose guys based on their work ethic/ability to provide and protect, and based on the small pool of men they had access to. If there were 5 single men in the village, a girl couldn't exactly hold out for a 9" guy - she might die alone before her 25th birthday, or just be considered a spinster.

    In earlier times, when the most desirable guy was the top warrior, that warrior often had a harem, but it's not like the women got to choose anything - those harems tended to be made up of the former wives of conquered and killed enemies.

    There's also the Michelangelo example: his statue of David isn't exactly packing like Danny D, and like several of his statues, they were based on the societal ideal of the time (Venus didn't exactly have HH-cup boobs either).

    So, yeah, penises aren't getting any smaller - it's just the few that most people see are literally in the top 0.001% in size. It would be like only seeing women with MM-cup bras and thinking that volleyball-sized boobs were the norm, or at least the size to aspire towards.

  • The ancient Greeks actually favored smaller penises, at least while flaccid. Maybe they were all growers. There was a similar aesthetic when you look at Italian renaissance marbles as well, although maybe they were just copying the Greeks.

    • They were deliberately depicted small. They did not think a large penis was good or a sign of strength.

    • Asians almost always depicted a large, erected penis. It's very interesting!

  • A very clever, fun and amusing supposition, as I'm sure which is as it's intended, to be more fun than factual 😝

    For the sake of clarity though, for those who don't see this for what it is, a bit of fun, instead of actual fact, perhaps it might be worth noting a few points 😋

    I suppose if any of these conclusions were true then there wouldn't be such a thing as porn stars with 10" dicks these days then, would there be? 😜

    And Joe Rogan is certainly no one to be taken seriously, he's more self-opinionated than informed. As for Shanna Swan, (if she's even a real person) she doesn't seem much better. As if penis size and fertility have anything to do with the other. You can have a tiny little pudwhacker and be as fertile as a prized bull, or have a whacking giant and have nothing but infertile and minimal little drunken swimmers.

    It's been a well known fact for several decades that pollution is reducing fertility in males, she doesn't bring anything new to the table there. But it sure as hell has nothing to do with penis size 😝

    If penis size is supposedly shrinking it's most likely more to do with men not being able to become fully erect, regardless of age, because of some level of poor health, which is more prevalent these days than it has ever been. Societies are literally getting sicker and sicker with each generation. We are literally poisoning ourselves. But that's a whole other issue.

    As far as penis size being important to women back in the day, generally speaking, you can pretty much guarantee that for women seeking out the right male it had nothing to do with penis size, more to do with being able to offer security and being fertile to be able to create offspring.

    No doubt though there were those who had a preference for something bigger, just like now. You'll probably find though that, although it's fun to talk about, most women don't consider that to be an important aspect of having a successful mate.

    Having said all that, I did enjoy your post, and if any of it were true, I feel I would have been a huge success in days of old 😉

  • You are so clever, purplepoppy. That was professional-level comedy from start to finish. 🤣🤣🤣 Great stuff. Seriously.

    I believe your research because, well, 1) you wrote it and 2) I believe what I read on the internet.

    So, my great, great, great grandfather who immigrated from Ireland to America with his wife and 10 kids must have had a huge imaire púicín. Each generation that followed had smaller and smaller families, which obviously proves your point.

    I blame feminism. LOL What other reason could there be?

    I'm a 1:2, which means that I am far removed from the prowess of my ancient Princes of Forharta ancestors who populated the world with offspring to make the name one of the top 100 in the world even today. That's some serious breeding with a good number of the prettiest girls in Ireland, from milk maids to princesses.

    Even still, I never had to resort to a neck beard, tattoos or effeminate mannerisms in order to plunder my share of poontang.

  • Sadly this IS true. There is a very clear study of this and clear evidence linking it to Phthlates. Do a simple search for Phthlates and penis size. Joe Rogan interview Dr. Shanna Swan who did this study twice and published the findings.

  • Why are your troll questions and other trolls like you becoming more and more common on this website?

  • And you only have yourselves to blame 🤣

    Why Penises Are Getting Smaller
  • I don't know why they're getting smaller, I was born with smaller and it can't get much smaller

  • I don't know ask your boyfriend.

  • There are two main contributors to reduced penis size, in addition to the fact (as the post's pie chart describes) that it's no longer that important to women:

    1. Genetically engineered and processed food. All that artificial stuff is new compared to the old days, where everything was naturally grown.
    2. The invention of the vibrator. Women no longer need a penis to satisfy them, so per Darwin's theory, the average male penis shrinks... it no longer gets the practice it used to get.

  • Everything is women's fault, and yay! I'm one in a million!

  • I have a small penis but it has never bothered me. To make up for it, I developed my oral sex skills.

  • I don't think its women's fault. I blame vaccines, drugs and chemicals in the air. That alter the human DNA and I also believe humans will become extinct in the next 100 years.

    Either though DNA mutations or Robots taking over and killing us off.

    Either way, the future sucks

    • Extinct how?

  • I get I'm late to this and it might be off topic a bit but. throughout history males would often go off to fight battles leaving their females to stay and raise the young. but whichever side won those battles often took over the losing sides lands and females for themselves. which lead to much ethnic blending over the generations as time past. because the females likely submitted to the new ruling males and/or were killed. often times the losing sides young males were killed as away to end their bloodlines. so they wouldn't rebel or regain power some time in the future. leaving the winning males to take on multiple partners and father many children throughout their lives.

  • Huh?

  • It used to be that I couldn't push my erection down with two hands. After a few years I could, then I could push it down with just one hand.
    Guess I'm getting stronger...😉

  • How can I make my dic smaller? Im serious XDDDD

  • Actually, vaginas are getting bigger.

  • What kind of slut does research about penis

  • Well here in the states, due to hundreds of chemicals. Men and women are getting negatively affected by it

  • I guess the small guys all know they have a chance with you now
