Too Bad to Check: Feds Fund Study of Gay Men’s Penis Sizes

From The Daily Caller we find out about this important study that was meant to get, er, straight to the bottom of things:

The research, titled “The Association between Penis Size and Sexual Health among Men Who Have Sex with Men,” began in 2006 and surveyed 1,065 gay men. Among its key findings: Those gay men who felt they had small or inadequate penis sizes were more likely to become “bottoms,” or anal receptive, while gay men with larger penises were more likely to identify themselves as “tops,” or anal insertive.

Another discovery from the research: men with smaller penises were more likely to be psychologically troubled than those with larger genitalia. The goal of the study was to understand the “real individual-level consequences of living in a penis-centered society.”

Wait…A penis centered society? Which society would be that? I thought we’d been told that American men are fixated on women’s breats! This must be a whole other coffee-klatch than the one I’m running in…

And the research was conducted at Hunter college in NYC, will wonders never cease.

Call me a h8ter, and I’m sure some will, but in my humble opinion this is a boondoggle all the way, regardless of how fabulously it’s dressed . A private charity, or foundation, should have been sponsoring this niche study; and considering that a higher-than-average percentage of homosexual males are affluent and influential I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Heck, I think that the residents of the DuPont circle area and the West Village together could have underwritten this study on their own.

Fact is stranger than fiction. What do you think kind reader?
