So why do humans have the largest penis among primates? It seems that in humans, large penises may drive the mating competitive advantage... Like large testicle in chimps. My hypothesis : human females like big dicks! Large Penises only serve the purpose of pleasing women? Any other ideas?
I agree, K Kal! That seems to be my takeaway as well. I talk about the evolutionary science to support that here as well in case you'd like to explore further:
Really interesting rundown, but I noticed how much the term ‘species’ is doing work here—especially when humans, bonobos, and orangutans all land in different narrative roles. Makes me wonder if ‘species’ is just a placeholder we reach for when the boundaries get too blurry to name directly.
Thanks for chiming in. 'Species' is absolutely doing a lot of leg work here — a neat name for something that is much messier and more interconnected between us and our cousins than the clean lines would have us think. Language draws sharper lines than biology does.
There are just so many ways to bring pleasure to a body, size is one of them. But some of the best sex I've had is with open-hearted men that have average size penises.
I'd be so curious to hear about your experiences in the swinger lifestyle if you'd be open to sharing.
Fascinating and hilarious! I love the humour you bring to sex and sexuality 👏🏽
I'm so delighted that it resonates with you, Sarina! It's such an endlessly fascinating topic. Thanks for being here, love.
Always so informative I thoroughly enjoy reading your works.
Thanks for saying so, Gabriel. Glad to have you here.
Me too, very intriguing stuff to say the least
That’s right the brain is the biggest sex and sexual organ and the better to receive the proper love and care!
Truly, Bill! Our big, throbbing, wet brains definitely set us apart from other mammals! Thanks for being here.
Thank you my friend for writing!
Loved this! Learned a bit and in a witty way! I will never again think about penis size the same 😉
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this piece! It's a pleasure to have you here.
Great piece! From the title tease to the wrap up - all big winners.
Thank you kindly, Bosschaerts! Big winners indeed 😉
That was awesome, thanks for taking us on this ride! The best.
Thanks for joining me on this phallic tour of the primate kingdom, Janine! So fun.
So fascinating! Was literally thinking about this today at work and then bam there was your blog post explaining it!!!
Look at that synchronicity! Love how we were tuned into the same sexy wavelength! 🤯

Hi there, glad that you enjoyed this piece.

It's too bad, Brian, that you can't just have a little fun and learn a few things. Or choose not to read something that doesn't interest you.
Couldn't have said it better myself, Therese. Thanks for your presence here.
Bro, women are perpetual children, did you not know that.
