When it comes to sexual satisfaction, size isn’t just a punchline—it’s a hot-button issue with some serious relationship implications.

A survey of 1,387 women, conducted by sexual health site Bad Girls Bible, has shed light on exactly what women think about penis size—and the results might surprise you.

The survey found that more than two-thirds of women are unlikely to be fully satisfied with a partner whose erect penis is less than four inches.

But there’s a limit to how much is too much. Over half of the women said they found anything over nine inches too large, citing pain, rushed orgasms, and even “sexual selfishness” as common issues with well-endowed partners.

Pain was a recurring theme, with larger sizes causing vaginal bruising, tearing, and discomfort. On the flip side, those who enjoy bigger sizes mentioned “the feeling” as their primary reason for preference.

So, what’s the sweet spot? The researchers pinpointed the ideal range between six and eight inches, with 7.2 inches being deemed the best size.

This range left 77% of women fully satisfied. Interestingly, nearly nine in 10 women preferred a seven-inch length, and two-thirds said both length and width were critical to sexual satisfaction. The average preferred girth was two inches, slightly above the national average of 1.8 inches.

For perspective, the width of a standard golf ball is 1.7 inches.

Size isn’t just a factor in physical pleasure—it can influence relationships, too.

The survey revealed that 44% of women consider a man’s size before deciding to date them. Additionally, two-thirds of women said they’d consider breaking up with a partner whose size didn’t meet their needs.

It’s not just small sizes that can cause issues. Nearly 60% of women said they’d break up with someone whose penis was too large, and four in 10 admitted they might cheat on a partner if his size was too small.

For casual hookups, size still plays a role. Just under half of the women said it matters for one-night stands, while over two-thirds said it’s important in a “friends with benefits” arrangement.

For men feeling the pressure to measure up, there’s some good news. Foreplay and a partner’s gentleness were named as key factors in women’s satisfaction, regardless of size. In other words, skill and attentiveness can make up for anatomical shortcomings.

The survey also highlighted that extremes at both ends of the spectrum are rare but impactful. Women were least satisfied with penises measuring between one and three inches, a condition known as micropenis, which affects just one in 10,000 men in the US. At the other end, over nine inches proved too much for more than half the respondents.

Interestingly, one in 200 women said even a one-inch penis was too big. Researchers noted this might reflect the views of homosexual women or those with conditions like vaginismus, where the vaginal muscles involuntarily tighten during penetration.

The findings highlight how penis size can affect more than just physical pleasure. For many women, size plays a role in emotional and physical compatibility, influencing everything from dating decisions to long-term relationship stability.

Ultimately, while size matters to some degree, the survey also shows that communication, effort, and emotional connection remain key components of a satisfying sex life.

So, whether you’re above average, below, or somewhere in the middle, remember that the best lovers prioritize their partner’s overall experience—inside and outside the bedroom.

In today’s ever-changing and environmentally conscious landscape, electric vehicles (EVs) are undoubtedly on the rise. In fact, per IEA.org, nearly one in five cars sold globally in 2023 was electric – with the number of EVs sold in 2024 expected to increase by 20%.

However, despite all the incredible things we’ve heard about going electric, some people are still opting to stick to the status quo and remain loyal to their gas/diesel-powered cars. But one couple’s recent venture into EVs may have you thinking twice next time you’re in a car show room.

The couple – consisting of YouTuber Mac’s Tech Toy Box and his wife – decided to ditch their gas guzzlers and embrace the EV lifestyle two years ago, purchasing two Tesla Model Y vehicles within months of each other.

What they discovered about their expenses after the switch left them stunned.

An Unexpected Electric Bill Surprise

Before making the leap to electric, the couple’s monthly electricity bill averaged $225. After they purchased their first Tesla and started driving up to 500 miles a week, their bill actually dropped to $214.

Mac noted this decrease occurred between February and June, cooler months when air conditioning use — a known battery drainer — was minimal.

Following the addition of their second Tesla, their bill rose to $276. While this represented an increase from their pre-Tesla usage, the added $51 per month paled in comparison to what they had previously been spending on gas.

How EVs Saved Them Money

However, the couple insists they’re now better off financially.

Before switching to EVs, Mac estimated his Mustang’s gas consumption cost him around $160 per month. Assuming his wife’s costs were similar, their total gas expenses reached $320 monthly.

By switching to electric and charging their Teslas primarily at home, the couple saved significantly. Home charging, compared to the higher fees associated with Tesla’s public superchargers, kept their costs low.

According to SolarReviews, charging a Tesla Model Y Performance at home can cost as little as $7.84 or as much as $42.75, depending on electricity rates and usage. Public superchargers, in contrast, can cost anywhere from $0.11 to $0.60 per kilowatt-hour, with fees varying by location.

EV Savings Confirmed by Others

Mac’s experience mirrors findings from other Tesla owners. For instance, one YouTuber calculated that their Tesla cost just $375 to charge over the course of a year — breaking down to an astonishing $0.023 per mile.

Data from Consumer Reports supports these claims, noting that EV owners spend about 60% less on fuel compared to drivers of gas-powered vehicles. With gas prices averaging $3,000 annually per driver, the savings can add up quickly.

EVs on the Rise

It’s no wonder that more than 2.5 million EVs are now on America’s roads. Cost savings, combined with environmental benefits, continue to attract drivers to electric vehicles.

For Mac and his wife, the transition to Tesla has been a revelation — not just for its sleek design and technology, but for the unexpected financial benefits it brought to their household.

A woman who proudly voices the fact that she is a virgin at 34 years old has revealed the best thing about abstaining from sex.

Now, a lot of people take pride in enjoying life for all of its pleasures, including sex. But having intimate relationships with people can come with obstacles and – more often than not – some unnecessary drama.

That’s why some people, like Lauren Harkins, have decided to stay away from it altogether.

The content creator from Portland, Maine, has taken to social media on multiple occasions to reveal the best thing about being a virgin at 34.

“Something fun about being a virgin in your thirties is that I literally have no baggage,” she said in a video posted back in October.

In her Instagram bio, Harkins describes herself as having “no boyfriend since birth” and has since used the fact she still has her “V card” to grow her social channels.

“I have no baggage,” she re-emphasized. “I have no drama in my life… like I literally… I’m good.”

She went on to state that she’s an “uncomplicated person with an uncomplicated past.”

“And it’s great so thank you,” she added.

She also added that she does not have any “mental or developmental issues” due to trauma from sexual or intimate relationships.

In another video, which showed her dancing, she also doubled down on the message with a text overlay that read: “Thinking about all the messes I’ve avoided by staying single and celibate my whole life.”

Harkins also revealed that her decision to remain celibate is not influenced by religion as she views it more as a moral standing.

People couldn’t help but comment about Harkins’ views, with one user pointing out: “Everybody has ‘baggage’ you just may not have relationship baggage. But no one’s life is perfect – there’s something you carry around with you.”

“You can still have baggage and be a virgin…” added another.

Another asked: “How does that even happen? Weren’t ever curious about sex?”

However, others commended Lauren, with some even speaking of their own situations.

“You are glowing! And you inspire me to be like you when my 30s come,” one user stated while another added: “I will be 30 in a few days and yesss same with me!”

A third also commented: “34 here and 35 soon and no drama… good or bad.”

And this person also chimed in writing: “Completely understand! The peace I have knowing I don’t have no soul or intimacy ties to someone is great because when I look at the other girls I know who is going through hell, Naw I am really good! Chips and Netflix by myself please.”

Everyone is entitled to their own ways of living life and if Harkins is happy doing this, then we’re cheering her on from the sidelines!

A couple’s proposal has been going viral online – but maybe not quite for the right reasons.

New York City is known for many things: skyscrapers, big dreams, celebrities, and of course… rats.

And one particular rodent is going viral this week after it stole the limelight during a couple’s romantic proposal.

The event was set for Thursday in Midtown Manhattan; there were twinkling Christmas lights, a nervous man ready to sign his life away to his lover – and of course, the rat.

In a video shared by TikTok content creator, @PaperMiishe, a man was seen getting down on bended knee to propose to his lady outside 1221 Avenue of the Americas, right by Rockefeller Center – but social media users couldn’t help but focus on the scurrying rodent, who darted from one place to another as the entire thing was being filmed.

“The rat [being] like omg it’s happening it’s happening,” wrote one user in the comment section of the clip.

“The rat truly let me know this was an NYC love story,” another added.

A third chimed in, writing: “I am not kneeling down after seeing a rat on the ground, but congrats to the happy couple.”

And this user joked: “The rat was the cue to pop the question.”

So far, the identity of the couple – as well as the star of the show, the rat – remains unknown.

It comes after New York City Mayor Eric Adams launched multiple incentives to crack down on the rat issue that continues to plague the city.

Earlier this year, Adams took to X to introduce a wondrous new invention: the trash can.

The mayor posted a picture of himself wearing a white T-shirt and some cool shades while he inspected a new bin for the city.

“Introducing the official NYC Bin!” he wrote in the caption. “Today, we ROLLED OUT the next phase of our ‘Trash Revolution,’ showing New Yorkers how we’re going to place even more black bags into the dustbin of history.”

In a follow-up tweet, he added: “Once this newest change goes into effect this fall, we’ll have containerized 70% of our city’s 14 BILLION annual pounds of trash in just TWO years. And that’s how we will win the war on rats in our city.”

Have a look at the post below:

I mean… go off, I guess?

Those rats don’t stand a chance of ruining any more proposals now.

An American woman whose case sparked misinformation about immigrants eating pets has been sentenced.

Allexis Ferrell, 27, was convicted after authorities in Canton, Ohio, reported she had attacked a cat.

On August 16, Canton police responded to a call about a woman reportedly smashing a cat’s head with her foot and attempting to eat it, as reported by BBC News.

Officers found blood on Ferrell’s feet and fur on her lips.

Ferrell is a U.S. citizen, and the incident occurred about 170 miles (270 km) from Springfield, Ohio, home to a significant Haitian community.

The case was among several cited in false online narratives accusing Haitian immigrants of harming pets.

These rumors gained traction on social media and were eventually echoed by President-elect Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.

During a September presidential debate, Trump stated: “In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats.”

When pressed by CNN, Vance defended the claims, saying they were based on “first-hand accounts of my constituents” but did not provide evidence.

He also remarked: “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”

Despite Ferrell’s U.S. citizenship, online posts falsely described her as an immigrant, fueling anti-Haitian rhetoric.

Canton Police clarified to the BBC that they had “not dealt with any complaints of Haitian immigrants at all.”

Similarly, Springfield Police refuted the claims, stating: “There have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”

Ferrell pleaded guilty to charges of cruelty to companion animals and was sentenced on Monday.

Additionally, she received an 18-month sentence for violating probation linked to a prior child endangerment conviction.

During sentencing, Stark County Common Pleas Judge Frank Forchione expressed outrage.

“This is repulsive to me. I mean, that anyone would do this to an animal. I can’t express the disappointment, shock, [and] disgust that this crime has brought to me,” he said.

Despite the unfounded allegations, officials and community leaders in Springfield have worked to dispel the rumors, emphasizing the Haitian community’s contributions and the lack of credible evidence supporting the claims.
