A female professor at Missouri State University is asking men to send her pictures of their private parts in a quest to find out if size really does matter to men.
Sociology professor Alicia Walker is asking male participants to voluntarily send photos of their anatomy along with measurements – in an aroused and non-aroused state – as part of a research project approved by the Missouri State University Institutional Review Board, The College Fix reported.
“The study is examining the importance of men's self-esteem and feelings about their bodies and their experiences in a society that worships size and tells men that they're less than if they don't measure up,” Walker told Fox News. “For the men I've spoken to thus far, that impact has been grave.”
Walker clarified that men are not emailing her lewd photos.
“These aren’t sexy photos. These are clinical pictures to confirm a reported measurement,” Walker said. “For the pictures, when they take the survey, there is a spot to upload them with the survey. So they provide their measurement for girth, upload a pic with a measuring device showing that's their girth, repeat that with length, etc. The pictures don't include faces or any other identifying features
Walker’s research assistant posted the study on several X-rated Reddit threads, where he said the study requires more than just a photo.
“We also need answers to questions regarding their self-esteem levels, feelings regarding their genitals, satisfaction with their sexual life, so on and so forth,” Walker’s assistant wrote.
Participants must be at least 22 years old and
have the option of doing the interview over the phone or email with Walker
or her male assistant.
