Part 2 is not related to the research but some might find it interesting.

What I find interesting is the fact a relevant information from the study has gone unnoticed so far. It was analyzed and recorded by the researchers, but not factually written down:
In the paper (Women’s Preferences for Penis Size: A New Research Method Using Selection among 3D Models | PLOS ONE), they report the penis size reported to be average graphically but don’t give any actual figure.
In fact, you can go here and grab the raw data, individual by individual: Women’s preferences for penis size: A new research method using selection among 3D models
From these raw data you can calculate the different average values and parameters:
Dimension cm in
Av length 14,6 5,76
SD length 2,0 0,79
Av girth 11,43 4,50
SD girth 1,8 0,71
Med girth 11,43 4,50
Correlation 0,446
See the attached picture for a raw data analysis (Raw data.png).
So for a woman, the perceived average length*girth is 5.76in(+-0.79)*4.5in(+-.71), with a 0.45 correlation coefficient.
This is perfectly in line withe the Dr Veale study (5.17in(+-0.65)*4.59in(+-.43)).
NB: the same analysis can be performed with the one night stand and long term relationship data:
One night stand:
Dimension cm in
Av length 16,3 6,41
SD length 2,7 1,05
Av girth 12,6 4,97
SD girth 2,3 0,90
Med girth 12,7 5,00
Correlation 0,299
See the attached picture for a raw data analysis (ONS.png).
I have added as well a picture of the "true" preference chart for one night stand (you know there are some stupid charts on the internet - this is another one).
Long term relationship:
Dimension cm in
Av length 16,2 6,37
SD length 2,4 0,93
Av girth 12,3 4,83
SD girth 2,3 0,89
Med girth 12,7 5,00
Correlation 0,351
