It's not just size that matters
Thu Aug 7, 1:15 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Size is usually more of an issue but the shape of the penis is also important because it evolved to dispel other men's semen, according to scientists in the United States.

Gordon Gallup and researchers at the State University of New York in Albany showed in experiments using latex replicas, an artificial vagina and a cornstarch mixture that the ridge of the penis acted as a semen displacement device.

"They found that the coronal ridge... could scoop out more than 90 percent of the cornstarch mixture (from the artificial vagina) with just one thrust, while a phallus with no coronal ridge only managed to remove 35 percent," New Scientist magazine said on Wednesday.

Gallup and his team, who reported their finding in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour, said the depth of penetration was also important in expelling more semen.

Their findings were supported with surveys of students who were questioned about their sexual experiences.

"Sexual intercourse often involved deeper more vigorous penile thrusting following periods of separation or in response to allegations of female infidelity," they said.

I suppose this is geared more towards propagation, not so much so towards woman who can't get off because there mate has a small cock or one shaped like a banana-

I've never seen my penis as a cornstarch scooper ... but a cool, gently applied cornstarch paste might be just the ticket to momentary nirvana. Does cornstarch have any anti-oxidant qualities to remove ... erm ... blemishes?

What kind of whores have a cooch full of semen to be pulled out by the next dude's shlong?

It doesn't make sense to have a dick shaped like that unless you're just trying to impregnate porno starlets.

Money wasted on stupid useless research

Some species of whales will mate in big gang-bangs, and each ejaculation flushes out the previous sperm. Whoever lasts the longest and is the last one to ejaculate into the female wins because his genetic material is passed on.
