Penis Size – As Women See It

May 11th, 2010



Ask any woman what she is looking for in a permanent relationship and penis size comes a lot further down the list than personality. Which is not to say that size doesn’t matter. But maybe not for the reasons a man might think.

While the size of your penis is not important for having good sex, it is important from the point that sizes vary in women as do tastes. Some women like or need a large penis, others prefer a small penis. Too big gets to be a problem if it hurts the woman, so it depends on what a particular woman can take.

Because most men don’t understand women, not just psychologically but, also anatomically, they don’t realise the fact that a woman’s most sensitive sexual nerves are strategically located around the vagina’s opening. Which means that there is really no need for a very big penis when the pleasure nerves are just around the opening area.

This should be a source of relief for the majority of men since the average penis size is between 5 inches and 6 inches. However, this is more that sufficient to pleasure almost any woman.

In fact the size thing is mostly in mens’ minds. If a man thinks his penis is too large or too small, that is a problem in itself. Any penis is too small if it is thought to be too small. A change in size is then easily accomplished by looking at it with different eyes.

Always keep in mind that men tend to compare themselves unfairly. Use a sideways angled mirror to view your penis and don’t look straight down. Don’t look at men in urinals as they will always appear large from the side for exactly this reason.

Because men are more obsessed with size than women, a lucrative penile enhancement industry has developed in the last few years offering everything from penis pumps, surgical procedures and supplementation pills.

Many of these are dubious and care should be exercised in using them. After all, what’s the point in damaging your penis for the sake of a possible increase in size when you probably don’t need to do it anyway?

However, if you want to go down this road there are a few supplements such as VigRX plus that are safe to take and have been proven to help with enhancing penis size, increasing libido, and improving erection. Use them with caution however, and if you have any sort of medical condition, consult your doctor before taking anything.

Women’s Health: Cervical Smears

November 5th, 2009



All women at some point in their life will have to have a cervical smear as a part of a health checkup. But do you know exactly what a cervical smear is, and how it can affect, diagnose or treat women’s ailments? Read on for more information about this common procedure.

Women’s Health: What is a Cervical Smear?

A cervical smear is a test used on women to tell if there are any changes in the health of the cervix. This is helpful to diagnose the early stages of cancer.

The cervix is located at the end of the uterus, and connects to the top of the vagina. There is a central canal that connects the vagina to the inside of the uterus, and it measures approximately 3cm square.

Women’s Health: Why Have a Cervical Smear?

The main reason to have a cervical smear is to monitor the health of the cervix, and to lower the number of women who contract cervical cancer. The smear is targeted to detect early strains of potentially cancerous cells. If caught in time, women’s health may not suffer terribly, and the growth of the cancer may not progress further. However, a cervical smear is just a screening process; it won’t detect all forms of cancer, all of the time.

Women’s Health: Who Needs a Cervical Smear?

Women who are sexually active, or who are 18 or older (whatever comes first) should take their health in their own hands and have regular cervical smears until the age of 70. A regular smear would be every three years for most women, depending on their health and the results of the last smear. Also, women who are not healthy should have annual smears, such as those with HIV. Women who have had a hysterectomy who have had abnormal pap smears in the past should get themselves checked every year by a health practitioner; there is still a risk of abnormal cell growth at the top of the vaginal canal.

Women’s Health: How is a Cervical Smear Done?

A cervical smear is only taken when women are in good health, and are not bleeding. Any blood that appears during the testing can skew the results unnecessarily.

The procedure is performed with women on their backs, and their legs held up in the air by a health practitioner or stirrups. A speculum is placed inside the vagina, so that the health practitioner can view women’s cervix closely. Then a brush-like instrument is placed over the cervix, and cells are wiped onto the brush, and then placed onto a glass slide for diagnosis.

Women’s cervical smears can be done by a health practitioner, such as a doctor or nurse. The procedure usually only takes a couple of minutes, at the most, and isn’t painful, although it may be a bit uncomfortable.
