Selon une autre étude menée au Kenya, plus un homme a un long pénis, plus sa compagne est susceptible de le tromper. https://t.co/5uvjMumJaJ

@Lillyfloria Ну, само исследование тоже не считает это возможным иначе вряд ли бы называлось так конкретно как "Predictors of Extra-Marital Partnerships among Women Married to Fishermen along Lake Victoria in Kisumu County, Kenya" А ты конечно можешь и по средней длине азиатов себя утешать))
