Do women generally report girth or length as more important for orgasm frequency?

Existing academic surveys report an association between women who prefer deeper penetration (i.e., longer penises) and higher frequency of vaginal orgasm in some samples; one influential online-survey...

How does flaccid stretched length correlate with erect length in scientific studies?

Large clinical reviews find that stretched (manually extended) flaccid length tracks erect length better than relaxed flaccid length: pooled means across studies are about 9–9.2 cm flaccid, ~12.8–13.2...
