LONDON (Reuters) - Almost one in four British men is unhappy with the size of his penis, according to a survey of sexual behavior published Sunday.
And such concerns do not diminish with age.
While those aged 35 to 44 are most likely to worry, a sizeable 26 percent of over 65s admit to being less than happy with their organ.
The ICM poll, which quizzed 1,027 adults for the Observer newspaper, also found that four million husbands and wives -- more than one in six -- had committed adultery.
For those in long-term relationships, the figure was one in five.
"The figures for extra-marital affairs may even be an underestimate," psychologist Philip Hodson told the Observer.
"All the evidence is that women tend to conceal the extent of adultery, even from professional researchers."
The survey found that men were more likely to have been unfaithful than women -- 22 percent compared with 13 percent -- and women are more likely to stray on just one occasion.
Those seeking a trustworthy partner should look in the British capital, London, where just seven percent admitted to having cheated on their partner.
Among Scottish partners, meanwhile, one in three in long-term relationships have had at least one affair, according to the poll.
More than half of those surveyed have had a one night stand and 21 percent have had sex with someone without knowing their name.
Britons have sex on average twice a week and just under half have used a sex aid. Sixty percent believed prostitution should be legalized and 41 percent said they would consider having sex for money if the amount offered was large enough. The poll found that one in 10 Britons have had same-sex contact and half believed in gay marriage. However, almost a quarter of respondents said gay sex should be made illegal.
When asked about health, almost a third admitted they did not practice safe sex with a new partner and 42 percent of those who had contracted a sexually transmitted disease in the past also failed to practice safe sex.

I'd be more concerned if someone did a study on women being worried about the size of their penis.
