Living in a culture centered in the admiration and worship of the body, to obtain a static attraction, concepts of vigor and fitness are reinforced again, associated with the media that reflects norms and collective and individual parameters, which give feedback to the system.Because of the existence of historical, cultural, social, familiar and individual variations, a research was done with the objective of characterizing the anatomic-perceptive aspects of the male sexual organ, evaluating the relation between the anatomic aspects, sexual performance and level of satisfaction.
