Guys 18+: where do you stand compared to the average male?

[FarmerMonkey]

I love that a bunch of guys in their teens to thirtys are wondering why they are above average when compared to an average garnered from every previous living generation as they stand now.

And as far as people go saying they last ages in sex... After anything more than about 15 minutes, I get bored and my girlfriend gets sore so I really don't know what you guys are doing. Unless you guys are throwing sausages down corridors.

Though I'm interested as to whether those numbers are with or without prophylactics, as I last MUCH shorter without.

Other than that, Yes as someone who's only a few years off peak physical state I am ahead of most of these numbers, no I'm not surprised and yes porn has given all of you an unrealistic expectation of average penis size.

EDIT:
How are you supposed to measure how long your orgasm lasts? I'm usually... pre-occupied at that point, and wouldn't even know when to start the timer :S

Seriously. I was going to make a pretty much identical post on every point.

I've been with my wife for almost ten years, since college. Sure, we used to have 30 minute+ sessions every time, but these days we know what the hell we're doing and how to push each others' buttons.

My two cents to the thread: don't measure yourself against the "average" man (who might be what, 38?) and give yourself a pat on the back. Measure yourself against yourself, and try to improve every year, even when biology starts fighting against you (you'll probably start feeling it mid to late twenties).

I'm almost 30, and would probably dominate my highschool doppelganger in most athletic competitions. I play basketball 3 or 4 times a week, volleyball twice, and do strength training 4 or 5 days a week. Never would have gotten here if I was content to be better than the guy who watches the USA average 4 hours/day of TV and quaffs burgers and pop (yeah, I said "pop") with abandon. I always want to be better than I was last month. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I push ahead.

Awesome, I'm above average in nearly every category that matters! Two inches taller, 32 inch waist, and I've even got an inch on the penis size.
Self esteem + 50 billion!

 

[Dystopia]

I hate to rain on everyone's parades here, but let's not forget that it's the average man we're talking about here. What ranges did they use? Did they get an accurate cross-section of the general population? This is completely meaningless without those stats.

 

[Sparrow]

Well, I'm not going to map out any exact measurements here, but 5 inches sounds about right. That guy looks a lot more muscular than me though, guys must be pumping more roids than I though.

 

[ethaninja]

Close, so close =(

 

[Project_Omega]

Quite a few of these stats surprised me, some to the point that there must be something wrong with the tests.

I am just about right, but I aint fit and only 17, so I am stilllll growin' !

and anyways, really? you are asking people things like this? is it ireally relevant, as long as your woman loves you and has regular sex with you?

and also, "where am I standing" ?

I am standing next to the cookie jar, and you aint getting one.

 

[ovset]

Some of you are pathetic, like coming out below or above average means anything. If you got a confidence boost from reading this, chances are you didn't have much confidence in the first place.

Who cares if you're more or less than average? Get a grip, people.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

Wow... So I beat the average male in a lot of these...

Then again, the man in the picture is white, and from the U.S., I am black and from Canada and these numbers obviously could be from a U.S. only perspective. And even then the numbers could be from one party of the U.S.

 

[Denamic]

Apparently, I'm taller, stronger, faster, and my sex lasts multiple times longer.
That's cool to know.

 

[Capcom4ever]

So according to this, I'm freaking alpha male compared to average guy. But may not quite be fair, seeing how I exercise.....about 30 hours a week? *Brag brag I can run under 5 min. mile brag brag*

 

[OliverTwist72]

Woo I have a big penis! I'm also 2 inches taller, and I am fit (no rly!) since I do a lot more than 2.87 hours of exercise per week.

 

[bam13302]

really? 1/7 men would rather work out then have sex, wow, sex must be overrated......

 

[OtherSideofSky]

Well I'm shorter than that, but I exercise as much a day as they say is average for a week and I can do twice the number of push-ups and sit-ups in a minute as they list for my age group (20s). I can't run a mile at all though, because nearly year-round allergies have given me a low lung capacity. Honestly, this doesn't look like a very scientific study, anyway. They could pretty easily have pulled those numbers out of their ass.

 

[NeuroticDogDad]

all I'm saying is that, at well over 8", I'm apparently gigantic. 0.o

actually you're 5'1" shorter than average. You're apparently tiny. How do you manage stairs?

 

[Ironic Pirate]

I'm 215 pounds, and I can run a mile in 7 minutes. And yeah, those stats in the bottom right are either drastically wrong, or we here at the Escapist are just that good.

But yeah, I call BS on all of this.

Maybe they're factoring old peop...

Oh, my god. They asked senior citizens how long sex lasted for them. And they got answers back. Oh fuck. Oh fuck.

My eyes. My fucking eyes. Oh God.

 

[zutagonecver]

Hate to shatter all of your egos, but these statistics include guys who are in their 60s so being 18 and being able to run a mile in 11min or being able to do 3 pull ups is nothing to brag about. The only statistics here that are pretty much universal are height and penis size. Lol

 

[Mr Fixit]

6'1" average waist according to this stuff & i weigh 235 & bigger everywhere else(not by much, but still). I don't exercise that much unless my job counts & the only vitamin i buy is a B complex, so i don't spend nearly that much money on that crap. I think i can do a pull up, i know i can run i mile alot faster than that.
