Explanation

This comic presents a graph plotting "Desirability" against "Penis Length (cm)" on a logarithmic scale. The graph shows two sharp peaks in desirability: one around 10 cm labeled "What Most Women Want," and another slightly larger peak around 100 cm labeled "What Most Men Want," humorously suggesting men desire a much larger size than women actually prefer.

However, the real joke is a third, enormous spike at 10^5 cm (100 kilometers) labeled "Collapsible Space Elevator." At that extreme length, the appendage would be long enough to function as a space elevator -- a hypothetical structure extending from Earth's surface into orbit. The comic satirizes male insecurity about size by suggesting that the only scenario where extreme length becomes desirable again is when it reaches a scale useful for aerospace engineering. The use of a logarithmic scale and the dry, scientific presentation of the graph adds to the absurdist humor.
