Men always overstate their erection hardness...

A new survey that examined the hardness of a man’s penis when he makes love has been done in Taiwan. The idea was to look at erectile function not purely from the point of whether a man gets an erection or not but to see if when he does get an erection whether it is satisfactorily hard. It may be that some men who suffer from mild erectile dysfunction may be having a lot of sex but sex that is not as good fro them or their partners because they suffer from penises that are not as hard as they should be.

The survey decided to categorise the hardness of a penis by comparison with objects. The objects were Cucumber, Banana, Peeled Banana and lastly Conjac Jelly. The survey was done by the Asian Erectile Dysfunction Advisory Council and they say that the use of objects to describe the various states of hardness of the male member is much more effective than trying to use numbering or descriptions. The survey was done over the phone and involved over one thousand men from Taiwan.

At Ukmedix News we have seen other surveys that sought to classify erection hardness in men. For example the Quality of Erection Questionnaire (QEQ) that Pfizer recently sponsored was one such survey as well as the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). In the survey the vast majority of men (74%) claimed that they had cucumber hardness and only one percent said that they had conjac jelly hardness. Twenty four percent said that they had Banana hardness and 2% said that they had unpeeled banana hardness.

At Ukmedix News we had a long talk about this survey and while we applaud the initiative of the Asian Erectile Dysfunction Advisory Council we noted that there were a few flaws with the survey. Men always overstate their erection hardness and that is why so many of them claimed to have cucumber penises. Men are very rarely honest and open about their sexual prowess even on the telephone.

At Ukmedix News we reckoned that this survey would have been far more effective if instead of the men being questioned women were anonymously questioned over the telephone about the hardness of the erections of their partners. If you have banana hardness and you want to get to cucumber strength your best bet is to get fit and healthy, give up smoking and lose weight.
