Fertility Notes- a fertility blog with all the news your womb can use

So Sorry Guys, Size DOES Matter

by Gabrielle on July 29th, 2008

Or so says a new book by Dr. Harry Fisch entitled, Size Matters: The Hard Facts About Male Sexuality That Every Woman Should Know.

In a Q&A published in  Saturday’s Calgary Herald

Urologist Dr. Fisch shared some info from the book he co-authored with Kara Baskin. Some of the pertinent points from the doc include:

“penis size doesn’t vary as much as people think. The average is 5.4 inches. Most men are between four and six inches. When you have less than three inches, then that’s a real problem fertility-wise — it’s too small of a penis to actually reach the cervix.”

“the larger the testicle, the better the fertility and the better chance to have a good testosterone level. Bigger is better.”

Dr. Fisch goes on to explain a number of misconceptions related to size, virility and the importance of belly fat (too much in men reduces fertility). The Calgary Herald notes,

Guys reading all of this may freak out a little.

To which Dr. Fisch responds:

I don’t want them to freak out. I want them to buy the book and to read to see what questions women are asking, because we’ve got to get men to understand what women are thinking.
