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:

So basically, this isn't a "new" study, nor is it comprehensive. If the scientists didn't actually create this study from the ground up, didn't measure in South America, Australia and didn't specify which countries in Asia, their conclusions are likely to be extremely skewed and inaccurate.
This is being published in a old school scientific medical journal.

Doesn't look like a bunch of quacks to me.:-) [Reply]

Africa could even everything out. That has to be considered as ramping up the results. Well unless they only traveled to pigmie lands. [Reply]

It's incomplete. If they're outright admitting that most of the men were European and Middle Eastern, it's not representative of all men everywhere and should not be used as any type of standard.
It's not a true average when the majority is from two races. [Reply]

He has several well informed media sources. If you need news, PM Boss. He went to high school with Jay Glazer.
He has a massive penis, even though he doesn't consider himself a "large" guy. He'll send you pictures if you ask. He doesn't lie. He can prove this because he has large hands.
He could have developed Ricky Stanzi into the next Tom Brady.
He, along with a few of the other smart CP football posters, could run an NFL team better than 80% of NFL GM's. No, they don't have any experience, but they are really good at finding really awesome mocks online and cherry picking all of the hard work those pro mock drafters do and then pretending it is his work. This then infuriates him on draft day when his favorite players aren't selected. Also, if one actually works out, he parades around and says, "see, I told you he was good."
Boss is a great guy. I'm so happy the Coalition closed down so ChiefsPlanet could inherit such a well informed, endowed, amazing fella.

Yeah dude. Super believable. I'm sure all of that is true. I'm sure girls turned you down for sex because you were too large as well.
5'8", eh? I was close at 5'6" I guess. Wonder how I guessed that one?

Nah, I'm fine with the two girls making out and letting their hands wander, or the one girl rubbing herself down.
Eating at the Y, like dicks suckery before it, has gotten entirely too spitty and drooly of late. [Reply]
