Executive summary

Research using tactile 3D models and multiple surveys finds that women on average prefer penises slightly larger than population averages, with only modest differences between one‑time and long‑term partner preferences, but the literature emphasizes wide individual variation and weak overall effects rather than a universal craving for “bigger” [1] [2] [3]. None of the key studies isolate “older women” as a distinct subgroup with clear, consistent differences in size preference, so any claim that older women as a category prefer larger penises is not supported by the provided reporting [4] [1].

1. What the studies actually measured and what they found

A widely cited laboratory study asked 75 women (age range reported in press coverage as 18–65) to choose from 33 three‑dimensional erect models and found mean preferred sizes slightly above average: about 6.3–6.4 inches length and roughly 4.8–5.0 inches circumference for long‑term versus one‑time partners, with the one‑time choice edging larger [1] [4] [2]. Media summaries and later health write‑ups repeat those point estimates and highlight that preferences clustered only modestly above global averages, not toward extreme sizes [3] [2].

2. Context and nuance: small effect sizes, big individual differences

Authors of the 3D‑model study and other reviews stress that penis‑size preferences are weak and variable: many women reported no strong preference, recall accuracy differed by dimension, and sample sizes were modest, so the mean preference should not be read as a prescriptive “ideal” for all women [1] [5]. Large surveys and older work also find most women satisfied with their partner’s size, and that other factors (attraction, technique, intimacy) often trump raw dimensions in self‑reported sexual satisfaction [6] [7].

3. Length versus girth: what matters most to whom

Several studies and commentaries point to girth (circumference) playing a particularly salient role for some women, sometimes more than length, because of perceived fullness and stimulation of nerve‑rich regions; other women prioritize length or say size is unimportant, so the comparative importance of girth versus length is not uniform [7] [8] [9]. The 3D‑model work measured both dimensions and reported small shifts in both circumference and length depending on relationship context, underscoring nuance rather than a single “bigger is better” rule [1].

4. Relationship context changes stated preferences

Across the literature, women—on average—picked a slightly larger model for a one‑night partner than for a long‑term mate, consistent with hypotheses about different priorities (pleasure or novelty) in casual sex versus comfort and compatibility in committed relationships [1] [5]. This contextual shift is small and should not be generalized into a blanket statement about age or life stage without targeted data.

5. What’s missing for the question asked: older women specifically

None of the provided sources present a clear, well‑powered comparison that isolates “older women” (for example, post‑menopausal or 50+) and compares their size preferences to younger cohorts; the 3D‑model study included a broad adult range but did not report trustworthy age‑stratified conclusions in the excerpts provided here [4] [1]. Therefore the reporting cannot substantiate a confident claim that older women as a demographic prefer larger penises; the evidence supports variability and context dependence, not a simple age‑based rule [1] [3].

6. Practical takeaways and contested interpretations

Taken together, peer‑reviewed work and credible summaries show that some women prefer penises slightly above average and that girth often matters as much or more than length, but the central pattern is heterogeneity: many women are indifferent, many prioritize other sexual factors, and small sample sizes and self‑report limitations make sweeping claims unreliable [1] [6] [7]. Alternative viewpoints exist—some surveys and comment pieces emphasize size importance more strongly—but those tend to rest on different samples or less controlled methods, so their broader applicability is limited [9] [10].
