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:
As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman he ever saw boarding the plane.
He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out,
"Business trip or pleasure?"
She turned, smiled and said,
"Business."
I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston."
He swallowed hard.
Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked,
"What's your business role at this convention?"
"Lecturer," she responded.
"I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
"Really?" he said.
"And what kind of myths are there?" "
"Well", she explained,
"One popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.
"Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best.
I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed.
"I'm sorry," she said,
"I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name..."
"Tonto," the man said ,
"Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba." [Reply]
Seriously, thou, the avg size of 5" seems a bit on the low side. I have seen my share of dicks from showering in men's locker rooms for sports/college dorms/military. All were soft, thus hard to say. Temp has is a big factor in flaccid size. Have you ever jumped into one of those cold springs on the Current river. Crap, a green bean is bigger then me! I have never seen a live stiff dick, other then mine. I am assuming that most of us are of similar backgrounds.
Thus the question at hand for comparison sake, who has had experience with hard dicks on CP?
Time to step up ladies. Because inquiring minds wanna know. What are your experiences?
BTW, this is one of the reasons I lurk on CP...this should be voted into the Hall of Classics. Much entertainment value here. One of the few threads that I have read all pages. [Reply]
As gay as it sounds, I need the dick in my porn as well.
What I dont understand though, is why they would EVER show the dudes face. Ive been knee deep on a jerk session, focusing on a hot chick taking the D like a champ, and all of a sudden the camera pans away from the girl and gives a full camera shot of the guy. Completely ruined it for me. Couldnt even finish.
I know wtf. :-) It's like you don't want to see the dick but yet you want it to be there. [Reply]
No, I don't think I do. I think it is avg. And my hands aren't THAT big. I am just thinking that a few of us have mentioned that 5" is a tad on the small side. But us guys have little no experience seeing a hard dick.
That's is where you ladies input would help the cause. [Reply]

I gave you input and you didn't like it.
Guess we know the biggest cock. [Reply]
