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:
and NEITHER of them flaunt them, and NEITHER of them ever reference them in public ... in fact, they get embarrassed
no joke
so when I sit here and read people on ChiefsPlanet.com talk about their HUGE dicks and how they've had women turn them down for sex because they were just "too big" ... it's hilarious to me
because I know it isn't true ... and I want to know what kind of complex someone has to have to have to pretend or talk about having a huge dick on ChiefsPlanet.com when the demographic is 99.5% men
hey guys (I know you're all guys who are reading!) ... man, yeah! no way 5.2" in average?! I have a 8" penis and it's not even that big ! I mean, I think it's just normal. Is 8" normal? Like, 8"! Did I mention I have an 8" penis?!
my fucking god ... how sad is your life where you start talking about having a big penis on ChiefsPlanet.com? It's ... hysterical. [Reply]

Let's not get carried away. It would take an invasion of Oprah's book club to make my mans testosterone a needed commodity on CP. [Reply]

Well yeah you do. They always come out when you guys have sleep overs that turn into pillow fights that turn into make out sessions. At least that's the way we've always heard it happens. [Reply]

Curiously enough that's how I imagine Hootie knows his friend's dick size.

In the midwest they do something called a Presentation. I think? Theres NOwhere for Proms to be had in NW Iowa, so they have them in gyms. Before the dancing begins, all the parents in the surrounding communities sit in the stands and watch each couple be introduced.
Only maybe half the audience is related to one of the seniors. The rest of the audience is made up of dirty old men because every single prom dress, from the skinny nerd girls to the 6 ft jock girls have their breasts hanging out of the dresses. To the extreme. Sweet, wholesome, church going, 4H club princesses all hanging onto their dresses by their nipples.
