Average? I don't believe it

[pokerpro831]

The average erect penis size is supposedly 5.16 inches.

Do you believe that? 

 

I don't. And I am thinking of getting a grant to disprove this. I believe the average is at least 1 inch longer and maybe as much as 1..5 inches.

I believe in big part this is due to the fact that younger people are much more health conscious anx spend more time worrying about diet and exercise. 

There are simply too many huge cocks on the internet for me to believe otherwise. 

Id be curious if I could get 100 members here to PM me their erect size and be honest about it.

I'll start: I'm 4.75 inches.

@pokerpro831 Well I think you are wrong in this. Surely you can see seemingly huge cocks on the internet - but it could be tricky. So many topics on this and on other sites revealed this already. You can be sceptic but imagine all males from the planet ...I belive 5.16 is true. In another topic Ive sent a reply that is about a porn director who says 5.9 is good for porn. And thats only 1.25 iches longer than yours ... 
So I guess you should be proud of what you have and use it well
mine is 6.3 BP btw. I think it is small. (Get it?)

There are Billions of people on the planet.  Only the tiny % with big cocks are in porn or are likely to show themselves on the internet.

Sexually active* men (gay or straight) and women are likely to experience larger cocks than the average would predict because the men with larger dick sizes are many times more active.  Guys around average or smaller tend to be active only with a long term partner.

These factors explain your doubt of the 5.16 average erection.  In a way, there is little solace for the small in this (I'm 4.38) because, if you try to be active, you will be compared by potential partners not to the true average, but to sexually active men and/or porn stars!

For a survey to be accurate, a random sample of men must be selected.  The closest anyone has come to this is urologists covertly measuring the stretched length of the flaccid penises of their patients.  That's how the 5.16 was determined.

BTW:  Most guys have already posted their sizes in their profiles.  However, self reporting is meaningless as the sample is self-selected!  Also, men lie about their penises, even to themselves.  Decades ago, I thought I was about 6", but was careful never to measure.

*I mean active in seeking and having sex with numerous partners.

@overthehill Just so you know, My measurements on my profile are true and BP,  No stretching, no games.  I am not ashamed or bashful about my size, to be honest I am very proud of it as it has given me three children and lots of pleasure.

Of course, I don't claim everybody lies.

When I thought I was about 6, but didn't measure, you may or may not call that lying.

Later when I joined a Yahoo small penis group I lied that I was 5.5.  Later here at Measure. . . I lied for a time that I was 5.25.  It was quite a struggle to admit it was only 4.5 and, at that, rounding up from 4-3/8.  Strange and weird.

I guess I thought I could "handle the truth" or something!

[mike1379]

Only thing I can say is that my experience with many gay sex partners over 40+ years is that the overwhelming majority had erect cocks in the 5" range, the next larger groups were just under 5" or just over 6". A very much smaller group were under 4.5 or over 6.5. So I tend to believe that 5- 51/2" is a reasonable average. Not that it ever matters......

I'm just about 6 1/2"

I am assuming you are getting this from the BJUI study?  I think the average determined in this study is very low to be honest. I think the average penis size is within the range of 5-6 inches, more around 5.5 inches.  The reason I think the average is slightly low in the study is because of common bias often introduced into penis size studies: using stretched length in lieu of an erect length; erection sizes varying depending on stimulus and volunteer bias.  There are several more, but I will not go into them to avoid writing a novel. 

While it seems like guys out in the world have larger penises, I don’t think that is exactly true.  Men with larger penises are likely to put themselves out there and with the whole “bigger is better culture,” you are likely to find that on the internet as the others have posted.  Additionally, unless you are sexually active with men, you are not likely to see a wide distribution of flaccid and soft penises.  I personally have seen very few erect penises and while I have seen many flaccid sizes in the gym, it is a poor measure of erect size.  With that being said, I don’t think penises of sizes closer to 4 inches and 7 inches are “rare,” more like “not uncommon.” 

I am not sure if younger people are getting bigger dicks because of their health consciousness.  I think with the new age of technology, anyone can be a porn star so sexuality is more expressed than in the past.   So, it may seem like younger people have bigger dicks, but who knows.

I honestly think these penis size studies are just counterproductive.  I feel that they don’t really help with the mind set of men who feel or know they are smaller than others.

Stretching a flaccid might not be accurate.

When I'm nervous (like when I'm at the Dr.), my penis can actually retract to almost nothing.  In that state it cannot be stretched to its 4-3/8 erect length and would give a false shorter reading to the urologist, probably 3" or even less.  

That would be a bad data point.  I have no idea how many people share "retracting" equipment like mine.

[pokerpro831]

From looking at some profiles here I think the range is too wide to use to accurately get an average. 

4.5-5 inches just isn't specific enough

The range is irrelevant in calculating an average.  None the less, you're right that the average from this site's members would not be useful.  That's because we would be a skewed sample, not representative of the population as a whole.  We are, after all, members of a small penis support site.

I certainly believe the "massive" study that came up with the average size of 5.16" and it is important to remember that this size is the one that is most common, the "mode" average (did I get that right this time?) 

I can certainly see why many can't or won't accept this when all you see on the Internet is the apparently larger sizes. I say "apparently" because it's very difficult to judge size on a screen with a 2D image, add to that you have no idea of the subjects body frame size, hand size nor whether camera angle has an enlarging effect! There's usually nothing to gauge scale with at all and with no scale there's no accurate judgement either. 

Most of us can't even accurately compare head on with a real life and 3D image because there's too many optical illusions at play. If you can't judge with a real life 3D view before you then what chance do you have on a computer or TV screen? Absolutely none. 

Then factor in what type of person who in the majority of occasions bares all for the camera or the Internet. Most of these guys, but not all, are the most confident guys, whom are confident in their size because they know they possess a large manhood. The bigger guys probably outnumber the average and below guys by 50:1 and with odds like that it's easy to think that the average is larger than the scientifically studied 5.16" 

I've said this before and I'll say it again, until you've personally viewed and measured 20,000 erect or stretched penises then you have no grounds to say this study is wrong! The only basis you have is what you've seen on the Internet or other media and this presents nothing but a very skewed perception of what an average or common size is! In my real life experience, above 6" is much rarer than the below 6" sizes of penis! 

Just for the record, stretched length doesn't always tally with erect length. This is especially true when one tries it one's self. I can only stretch my own to about 5.25" - 5.5" at the most, but in a medical examination using the correct method just over 5.75" was achieved. This still comes up a little short but as my urologist explained, absolute relaxation is required and were I under anaesthesia for a surgical procedure the muscle relaxants given with the anaesthetic would see my stretched length equal or exceed my erect length.

I believe that in the study of 20,000 guys many of these were measured in this way whilst still anaesthetised. Even if the study is out by 0.25" to account for stretched length "under selling" that still means an average penis size less than 5.5" Belive the study because you have no valid reason not to. 

[Allen43]

I think that 5.16” for the length of the average erect penis is probably correct or as close to being correct as any number might be. Seems like a reasonable number to me. I’d love to have one that size as mine is barely 3” long at it’s hardest. It’s rather thin as well. Like I said, I’d love to be just an “average” guy.

[pokerpro831]

Apparently if I'm in a room of 1,000 men only 113 would be smaller than me

 

[Guest]

Fewer in my case, so they say.  I've never had an experience disabusing me of this.

This should be the final word on this topic.

Look at it this way, in that room there's 113 men who will consider you better endowed and will also know what challenges life throws at you with regards to specific sizes. You are never alone!

It's worth remembering that whatever size you happen to be, worldwide there will be at least 1,000,000 men with exactly your size. That's a lot of guys whom have had to overcome the same things, shared the same problems or in the worst case scenario, shared the same pain.

I'm a little confused by this 

[canuck45]

@pokerpro831 
7.7 billion people on the planet, 26% of the population over 15 and ~1/2 of them female, there are 2,850,000,000 males , 2.85 billion males over the age of 15

The chart shows size ,10 cm/3.94" and this percentile is 3% of the entire population
11cm/4.33" is the 10 percentile (ie 10% of the population are 11cm or less ; thus 11cm is 7% of the population: 10%-3%
12 cm /4.72" marks the 25th percentile (25 percent of the people are 12CM or less) and 15% are of this size (25th percentil - the 7th percentil at 11cm - 3% at 10cm)

Since 11cm is the 10th percentile (11cm and less ) that would be 285 million guys are 11cm or less
If 7% are 11cm /4.33", 7% of the 2.85 billion males is 199.5 million guys at 4.33" worldwide.


So 13cm/5.12" and 14 cm/5.51" make up 45% of the males on the planet earth or 1,282,500,000 (1.28 billion out of 2.85 billion) are between 5.12 and 5.51"

In a room of 100 guys - 20 would be 5.12", 25 would be 5.51",  2 would be 6.3", 6 at 6.69 and 2 are 7" or larger
In a room of 100 guys - 20 would be 5.12", 25 would be 5.51", 15 would be 4.72", 7 would be 4.41" and 3  would be 3.94" 

 712,000,000 guys less than 5.1”
1,282,000,000 guys between 5.1 and 5.5
 555,000,000 guys equal to or greater than 5.91
More guys under 5.1 than there is guys greater than 5.9

Hope that helps

We need to see a graph of this chart.  It must be quite skewed.

I know I tend to see the glass as 1/2 empty, but, to me it tends to explain why I've always felt estranged from most men.  

90% of guys are larger than me.  In my mind, the gross number are meaningless, because in life you have to deal with random selections of people for the geographical area in which you are located.

I always felt most guys had a totally different attitude towards their dick and, therefore, sexual relations than me.  Most likely, this attitude of mine is somewhat delusional.

My attitude is most likely more a function of my delayed and glacial puberty which put me in an even smaller percentile of my peers and affected my sexuality more directly than size.

Why do we worry about cock length?  I'm 4.75" and get all the pussy I want and when she sucks it she can go all the way without gagging.
