I didn't see that in my reading, but I'll check out the reference you have below. I think the whole idea of measuring body differences until you come up with something significant seems like a questionable research strategy.
I also found one study that concluded that homosexual men have larger penises than heteros: The relation between sexual orientation and penile size, Anthony F Bogaert; Scott Hershlberger, Archives of Sexual Behavior; Jun 1999; 28. I'm not sure whether to mention this finding. It was only one study and the topic of sexual orientation is controversial enough. I don't know....thoughts?
