I... I don't even...

[Ieyke]

The average measurements were:

*Flaccid length 9.16 cm.
*Flaccid stretched length 13.24 cm.
*Erect length 13.12 cm.
*Flaccid girth or circumference 9.31 cm.
*Erect circumference 11.66 cm.

... What?

That's a surprisingly small average, just saying.

I'm always surprised that people are surprised by this.
It's pretty sad that peoples' assumptions are so very skewed because it makes a ridiculous number of guys insecure and, more selfishly, because then they don't really recognize big when they see it.


But yea, that's average.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

That is surprisingly short. My dick alone should have bumped the average up a few kilometres at least.

 

[PainInTheAssInternet]

My response to this is the same as my response to the height statistics. Apparently, at 5'9", I am exactly average. I call bullshit at this because I have always been amongst the shortest people in the room, including women who are supposed to be a few inches shorter than me on average. This is true amongst the wide variety of ethnicities and nationalities I encounter.

Back when I did the dating site thing, you'd be surprised the number of women who would talk to me and ask about (and I'm not fucking joking) the size of the 'chocolate bar' I'm carrying around.

You called it your Butterfinger, right?

No one asks the questions I want answered, so I'm going to ask my male members (HA! Pun!) of the Escapist.

Does anyone have temperature fluctuation in size? Like when it's cold, it's impossible to get as erect as it would be for you if it was warm?

So, basically this:

Mankind will reach the stars and transcend time and space, but we'll still be fretting over how big our dicks are.

You must be so tired of being quoted today...

But the fact is, Mankind will reach the stars and transcend almost everything... But the want to have sex.

And with the desire to have sex comes the wants and dislikes.

We all know the duality of Real Life and Online etiquette. In Real Life, face to face with people, many wax poetic on how they are looking for a great person who is kind and funny and who is there for them.

And Online, they search for that person with filters of having great breasts or a big member.

Oh, speaking of Stereotypes.

I wonder if this will end up like IQ threads on The Escapist, where everyone is miraculously way above average. XD

... You know, I was totally going to say something now about deserving a pass for saying something since I'm black and stereotypes. Then I think I've heard the collective groans of my enslaved Ancestors crying out. It sounded a lot like "Really, dude?". So I'm going to let that drop.

... I really don't want to delve that much into this. But really, screw you Captcha. What is wrong with you?

 

[Vigormortis]

Did you show them your penis? I always show Mormons my penis.

I never get to. They hear the sound of my fly unzipping and, as if by magic, they suddenly disappear.

One of these days I'll be fast enough. One of these days...

 

[Frission]

So, basically this:

Mankind will reach the stars and transcend time and space, but we'll still be fretting over how big our dicks are.

It's sort of comforting though. As long as we're fretting about that, it still means that a part of us is still a stupid hairless monkey and that no matter how much we advance, we're human.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I'll admit, mine's only about 1.5 - 3" (3.8 - 7.6cm) flaccid (depending on the weather and other factors, it can scrunch up pretty tightly at times), 6" (15.2cm) erect for length, 4" (10.2cm) flaccid, 5" (12.7cm) erect for girth. I was actually surprised my measurements inch-wise were right on the inch like that in all regards.

Zeconte taking the first dive in measuring specific dick length for us all.

/salute

I'm just going to say that I'm a grower.

 

[FPLOON]

Ha! Jokes on that article because I refuse to measure my own penis... Besides, there's only two things I care to know about my penis:How clean it isHow many times can it cum a dayEverything else can be chalk up to "Oh hey, it still works"... (Interpret that as you will... I double-dick dare you...)

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

You know, the most surprising thing to me about this is how little the average change between flaccid and erect penises is...

...And apparently how I can manage to freak out about how weird I am over news specifically designed to stop people freaking out about being weird. Measuring your penis is inherently useless anyway because anyone you tell is going to assume you're exaggerating, even if you're not. What's the point of measuring my a nine inch penis if you can't brag about it?

Back when I did the dating site thing, you'd be surprised the number of women who would talk to me and ask about (and I'm not fucking joking) the size of the 'chocolate bar' I'm carrying around.

I really hope you told them it was a Curly Wurly.

 

[Prince of Ales]

So... if you happen to have some... erm... curvature, then there's going to be two different metrics.

I mean, like, if you imagine a longbow at rest, then the length of the string is shorter than the length of the *ahem* wood.

What's the correct measurement in this case?

 

[Dirkie]

Oh, the fun we can have discussing the things that apparently do matter to at least half of the population, or the part of the population that owns the naughty bits.

It's silly, but I'm well aware of me being a victim of "god's way of compensating" in this area.
The disadvantages are pretty much being asexual and a brain that according to the docter is more in line with autism than the average person.
To compensate that I'm above average (duh, what kind of answer did you expect from any self respecting male anyway?) so I won't have to searh hard when going to the bathroom.

 

[KyuubiNoKitsune-Hime]

Why do people care so much about this sort of thing!? I mean if it gets the job done with your significant other, then what does it matter?

This is one of the times I'm glad I'm so gender bent and not really interested in sex. Being small as I am is at least a blessing for tucking which means I don't show through tight skirts... Still... I can't fathom why people are so obsessed,

You don't understand. I have to feel like my dick is better than the average. Otherwise, I just couldn't live with myself.

/s

In all honesty, I find gathering such statistics to be pretty funny considering how worried so many dudes become about it only to find out they're generally about the same as everyone else. That and the most important thing is how you're able to use it, not to mention the other sexy parts that (presumably) go into sex not always directly involving the dick.

I'm no sexpert though.

 

[Asita]

Spoiler

Look we all know the truth. Only the adjusted penis size really matters. Remember? Length times diameter plus weight over girth divided by angle of the tip squared

...Seriously? Why would you even say that? That's just so...wrong. Everyone, I want you to forget that wild theory and understand that it's really length times girth over angle of the shaft divided by mass over width...

Spoiler

Come on people, get with the program.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Well, duh. After all, there are hot green-skinned space babes to impress!

I know it's going to end up like IQ threads on The Escapist, where I really don't want to know about anybody's numbers.

 

[Reasonable Atheist]

But yeah, being above average would presumably only be important if your partner was. Being hung like a horse...well...in most places that sort of thing is illegal.

There are not many women who complain about too big though, so it can't be a huge problem.[/quote]

This is not the case, poking her cervix can be very uncomfortable for her. Especially in doggy stw where penetration is deeper.

To be blunt, it's all about feedback.

If women/gay guys make a big deal of it, we make a big deal of it.

and I know the forum will be full "Well I don't care about the size!". And hell, I'm sure that's true for the lot of them. But the fact is, Other people are concerned and are looking for size. I've sat and heard whispers on trains when they thought I was listening to music about "I bet he's packing.". The previous mention of my dating experience. Casual talk amongst friends.

If it gets brought up a lot, people start believing it matters.

You know what I'm not concerned with? My toe nails. Because no woman ever talked about toe nails. It becomes a non issue to me. I'm not going to be judged as a suitable mate because of my toe nails because no one ever mentioned it.

But plenty have mentioned about penis size. So it becomes a concern.

Lastly, the size to get the job done is purely in the ideals of the other party. A finger should be more than enough, true, but then you get to desires and mentalities. We could all have terrific sex with each other because we all have parts that fit. However, we look for the bonuses, such as attraction and body type because most of us want that little extra that we in turn make the end-all, be-all.

I really hope you told them it was a Curly Wurly.

I just learned what that is given that I'm an American.

Where were you when I needed this reference before, hmm?
