Pornography typically depicts a narrow image of genitalia.
Penises are large, hard, and circumcised. Vulvas are shown as hairless with small light-colored lips. However, real life genitals are much more varied in size and shape.
The average penis size is 3.6 inches when flaccid and 5.2 inches when erect. The six-inch average that’s often promoted in the media isn’t close to reality.
Penises in porn are typically shown as circumcised, however the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates only 30% of adult males worldwide are circumcised.

Expectations about vulvas have also been impacted by pornography.
Hairless vulvas in porn have led to a rise in Brazilian waxing.
Vulvas are typically shown with small lips making many women feel self-conscious if they look different and even leading to a rise in plastic surgery. However, research suggests the labia minora (or inner lips) average about 6 cm long with a range from 2 to 10 cm (about 4 inches).

If variety is the spice of life, shouldn't we celebrate them all?
