Heh. You’re right, in a sense. But the warning seemed prudent for those who might have expected a text-only scholarly-style “survey.” Because you just _know_ the boss will walk up exactly as you scroll down to a picture of some guy’s schwanz.

This is a bit late but I figure for fighting ignorance’s sake…

Arch Sex Behav 1999 Jun;28(3):213-21 [_The relation between sexual orientation and penile size._](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10410197&dopt=Abstract) Bogaert AF, Hershberger S.

“On all five measures, homosexual men reported larger penises than did heterosexual men.”
