Résumé
Larger penis size has been associated with a sign of strength, masculinity, and social standing. Little study has examined the relationship between men's penis size and their partners' sexual satisfaction. The purpose of the present study was to detail and evaluate the effect of penis size on partner sexual satisfaction with a design of narrative literature review. A systematic search of MEDLINE/PubMed was conducted to discover relevant studies on this issue. Currently, available studies show incomplete results between the penis size and partners' sexual satisfaction and are limited by methodological drawbacks, including small sample's size. The link between penis size and the sexual satisfaction of the partner need to be supported by more robust scientific evidence.
