Masters and Johnson's Anatomical Discoveries
During their sexual research, Masters and Johnson collected important data regarding reproductive anatomy. They documented the average sizes of flaccid and erect penises (3 and 6 inches, respectively) and demonstrated the high elasticity of the vagina, which can conform to penises of various sizes. These findings helped dispel long-held beliefs that the size of an erect penis correlates with its ability to provide sexual pleasure to a partner.
