This study seems to contradict the fact that every male on Chiefs Planet is packing serious length and girth. Poll is private.
Cliff notes:
The average flaccid penis was found to be 9.16 cm (3.61 inches) long, whereas the average erect penis is 13.12 cm (5.16 inches) in length.
Only 5 men out of every 100 have an erect penis longer than 16 cm (6.3 inches).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, a study which may lay to rest some of the lingering fallacies about penis size and alleviate the woes shared by many men worldwide. According to new research, the average erect penis length is just over 13 centimeters, or around 5 inches. Furthermore, there’s no strong association between foot size and penis length, so women can stop judging men by the size of their shoes. You can read the entire study in BJU International.
Although many compare themselves to the “average” penis size, what this figure actually is has been surprisingly difficult to determine. As pointed out by Science, that’s mainly because most studies have relied on self-reporting, which isn’t very accurate. To get around this problem and obtain a more reliable data set, a team of U.K. researchers decided to compile measurements taken by health professionals who followed a standardized measuring procedure. They included both girth (the circumference at the base or the middle) and length (pubic bone to the tip of the glans) measurements from 20 different studies, which totaled 15,521 men from various countries across the world. And the results will be music to the ears of many.
The average flaccid penis was found to be 9.16 cm (3.61 inches) long, whereas the average erect penis is 13.12 cm (5.16 inches) in length. In terms of girth, the average circumference of a flaccid penis turned out to be 9.31 cm (3.66 inches), and 11.66 cm (4.59 inches) for an erect one. Furthermore, those at extreme ends of the spectrum were found to be much less common. For example, only 5 men out of every 100 have an erect penis longer than 16 cm (6.3 inches).
When they looked for correlations with other body features, such as testicular size, weight or foot size, no strong or consistent associations were found. Although they couldn’t find any significant evidence for a relationship between penis size and race, they note that conclusions can’t be drawn since the vast majority of measurements were from Caucasians.
So what’s the take home message? Men, don’t be so hard on yourself as what you see on the TV or in magazines is not an accurate representation of the average penis. But if you’re concerned, make sure you’re measuring correctly.
Humans are, in general, very conscious of their appearance. If we’re not sucking in our bellies for photographs we’re fixing our hair or hitting the gym for that extra round butt. Guys are also faced with the age old question: does size really matter?
You’ll be pleased to know that humans have the biggest penis of any primate both in terms of absolute size and relative proportion. High five.
But do men need bigger penises? What do women say? Does your package make you more or less attractive, or affect partner satisfaction? Check out this 3 minute video from AsapSCIENCE for some interesting facts and studies on the topic:

This joke is so old and tired. You don't get me at all. You don't understand my sense of humor. You don't get why Im comfortable with the people im comfortable with. You don't get history, you don't get time, you don't get out of bed most mornings without jumping over a wet spot.
But holy fuck. Don't worry about who I fuck. Who I ever fucked. Or who I'm going to fuck later.
I think it's hysterical there are people, on a 99% dude message board, ChiefsPlanet.com that are coming here and saying, "I'm by no means a large man, but women have turned me down for having too big of a penis before!"
It's a really good source of entertainment for me. [Reply]

Remember when you called me a liar about how big my hands are? I posted the pic of my hand on a ruler and you moved on to complimenting me on how nice my hands are (it was extremely weird) ....I guess I could prove it if you want...but it would be even weirder than you complimenting my hands.
I don't lie. I'm not saying I'm Don Juan by any means...but I am a good inch over the average from this study of what I presume is mostly Asian guys. [Reply]
