Scientists have revealed what men really think about female genitalia.

More than 200 heterosexual men ranging in age from 19 to 77 were asked to
rank the importance of 24 specific characteristics in a woman's vagina.

The majority cared more about how it felt during sex than how it looked.
Smell, taste and sensitivity all ranked high, whereas physical attributes
such as symmetry or labial size ranked lower.

This suggests that men's feelings toward women's genitals are shaped
primarily by functionality and sensation, not by physical appearance, the
researchers concluded.

They were also asked to rank how strongly they agreed with various
statements such as, 'Women's genitals are beautiful' and 'Women should
feel proud of their genitals.'

The findings revealed that while men's attitudes toward female genitals
were generally positive, their opinions varied widely from person to
person.

Roughly one-fifth of participants reported negative views, suggesting that
a considerable minority of men do not find female genitals attractive.

Previous research has shown that a woman's self-perception is influenced
by her partner's attitudes and opinions.

'We had done qualitative research with women about their genital self-
image that found that even casual negative remarks from male partners
could have a big impact on women,' said study author E. Sandra Byers,
professor emerita at the University of New Brunswick (UNB).

Those impacts can even affect a woman's health. Feeling bad or self-
conscious about one's own genitals has been linked to lower sexual
satisfaction, poorer sexual health and increased likelihood of considering
cosmetic surgery.

'Hence, the need to investigate men's attitudes towards female genitals as
well as the link between those attitudes and genital feedback to
partners,' Byers told PsyPost.

Byers and her colleague, UNB clinical psychologist Miranda Fudge,
published their findings in the International Journal of Sexual Health on
November 8.

The 24 characteristics that the participants were asked to rank were
divided into three categories: Appearance/Physical Characteristics,
Smell/Taste and Function.

Those in the Appearance category included clitoris size, shape and pubic
hair.

The Smell/Taste category included only two options: aroma and taste.

And in the Function category, the researchers listed attributes about the
feeling of female genitalia, including warmth and sensitivity.

The results suggest that when it comes to what shapes men's perceptions of
female genitals, functional and sensory aspects matter more than
aesthetics, the researchers found.

This conflicts with societal messaging that emphasizes an perfect genital
appearance - especially in media and pornography.

But that's not to say that men don't have aesthetic preferences, or that
sociocultural factors don't influence them.

The study also revealed a significant subgroup who feel negatively about
female genitals.

'Holding negative views likely reflects societal messages about female
genitals and may influence not only men's own but also their female
partners' sexual well-being,' Byers said.

The study found that men's attitudes toward female genitals impact their
own sex lives in several ways.

For one, the study found that men with more positive views reported having
a greater number of female sexual partners over the course of their lives.

But surprisingly, the researchers did not find a link between their
perceptions and the frequency of specific sexual activities, such as oral
sex.

Men with positive views were also more likely to likely to engage in
behaviors that foster intimacy and instill confidence in their female
partners, such as giving compliments or positive affirmations about their
genitals.

Those with negative attitudes, however, were more likely to make critical
comments. But the study found that the overall frequency of negative
feedback was low.

The study's conclusions, however, may not be reflective of more diverse
populations.

The participants were predominantly white and educated, and therefore
future studies would benefit from surveying a more varied group.

Additionally, the authors note that survey respondents may have been
hesitant to be fully honest about their negative attitudes or behaviors,
and therefore it's possible that the minority group could actually be
larger.

The study also relied on self-reported data about the men's sexual
orientation and history, which may have been influenced by the 'social
desirability bias,' or the tendency of survey respondents to answer
questions in a manner that will be viewed favorably by others.
