Size study


Recommended Posts

Don't know if this site has been linked, makes for a decent read.

The headline is:

Study on penises reveals the average size ... it's smaller than you think
A study of more than 15,000 men finds the average penis size is just over 5 inches, experts say

As more and more studies point to the same sizes for average length and girth perhaps more guys will start to take note and actually believe them! 

It amazes me how many guys still dispute these findings! Often stating their own experiences of sizes from a small sample of guys they've seen whilst sexually active. They ignore the findings from a sample of 15,000 and even 20,000 guy's measurements and take it as gospel that the average size is more accurate from the sample of 20 to 30 guys they happen to have seen or encountered. I find this astonishing.

@Red Scott 
Just read an article where the author talks about buying proper sized condoms... I sent her the same link and told her to stick to handbags and shoes.
Guess in her mind less than 6" don't need condoms or they don't exist  hahahahahah  

Small
6 to 7 inches Width: 1.7 to 2 inches (5.1- 6 girth)
Medium
7 to 7.9 inches Width: 2.05 to 2.13 inches (6.05- 6.39)
Large
 8 inches and up Width: 2.13 to 2.3 inches (6.39- 6.9)
XLarge
Length:  <8  width >2.3 ( 7+" circumference.)

@Red Scott The only good thing she has in the article is a link to customized condoms

It's a good job because going by her sizings I'm going to need some custom "extra small" as my girth is 5" on a good day and her "small" sizing starts at 5.1" I only just scrape in for the minimum length of "small" too! Thank goodness her advice is out there because I'd have bought the wrong size!

Condoms have always been a source of great embarrassment to me. I probably have a micro penis. I guess. If not I’m pretty close I think. It’s only 3” in length and 3.5” in girth..at it’s hardest. I’ve never tried on ANY condom that was anywhere near small enough to actually stay on my erection. I guess a custom sized condom might work but I doubt I ever order any. I once entered my measurments in one of those condom size calculators you can find on line. It recommended that the woman wear one of those female condoms. “Oh well”, I thought. I was hardly surprised.

@Allen43 Mycondom says:   3 x 3.5 (76.2 x 89 mm)

MyONE's E55 condom will be a much better fit in terms of length, with no roll-up at the base, and a much better fit in terms of width, without slipping or falling off. You'll also likely feel more during sex.

Thanks Canuck. I certainly might consider ordering condoms that actually might fit me, should the need ever arise again.

@canuck45 This thread kind of got off topic with the custom fit condoms.

Where are all these 15,000 average guys?  When I see other guys in the showers at the gym and at nudist resorts, they are all mucher bigger than me, at least while flaccid.  According to the article, I should be right around average girth while soft and an inch shorter than average length while soft.  I never see average cocks like the ones in the study.

@toadfish327 The same place as the average american male that stands  5'9" tall.  I swear at 5'11" the world is taller than me.  I think it comes down to perception (selective memory).  I don't mentally register the guys that are shorter than me.
IF you see smaller (flaccid) penises you don't register them, but if you see larger its "see they are all larger"

Yesterday, relaxing in the sun, my soft penis was about 3" and my balls were resting on the chair,
later that evening my penis was 1" and balls scrunched up.  (Turtling)

Its the same with bingo players.  When they win (and have their lucky rabbits foot, horseshoe and lucky hat on) its the talismans that brought them luck.  They forget they lost 1000 games with the same items.  

We selectively remember.

I completely agree, Canuck, that selective attention/memory is a part of why one tends to notice bigger soft penises.  However, unlike height, much of the time guys have a choice whether to show their penis or not - lots of guys with small penises would never go to a nudist resort or beach (there's a thread on Measurection on this very topic), and would avoid communal change rooms, or do the 'towel dance' in such a place.  The only penises you're going to see in such places are the penises of reasonably confident men, and the existence of this site is evidence that men with smaller penises tend to be less confident.  So as well as selective memory, there is self-selection of sample going on!  And don't even get me started on porn!

Let's not forget the ever important optical illusions at play and the brain's ability to change size perceptions too. If you were on a nudist beach and 10 guys passed you one by one, all with an identical flaccid size to your own. In a head on comparison you will lose to every one of those 10 guys in the size comparison stakes.

A) Because the optical illusion of looking down at your own and straight ahead at theirs will shorten your view of your own, perspective will also "taper" your own making it seem thinner, whilst looking ahead at them you see theirs as they are. 

B.) When we "condition" our brain, inadvertently of course, that most other guys penises are bigger than our own, then that's exactly what the brain will see, because we've told ourselves it's this way. Don't forget your brain simply decodes images from the eye from nerve signals, the brain then interprets these electrical signals to form an image. This image will be according to the perceptions the brain has learned to apply. 

Just don't compare head on, not in any situation. There's always going to be guys who are very clearly bigger than us, but even those whom are not will appear to be bigger in our eyes.

Saturday I was relaxing in the sun with my soft penis soaking up some rays. Then a friend came over and he decided to take some pictures and dance around naked in front of me.

Before long...

I agree with Topdog. As a straight guy, I only see naked men these days at the gym. There is a clear correlation between flaccid length and amount of time walking around naked with being covered up by a towel.

@Thor57 I think the are a number of other factors involved.  For example, being in the military, I saw less covering up when I was enlisted.  Now that I'm at a military academy though,  there's much more, but I attribute that to the youth of my fellow cadets. And there's nuances even to that. 

I'm a big fan of nuances; they're so French.
