Average size of a man's penis..
| Tue, 08-10-2004 - 4:01pm |
I've been with only two guys and they both are about the same size. I've seen porn and, obviously, men like that are exaggerations of what the average male should be.
So what exactly is the average size of a man's penis? Also, what can he do (i.e. positions, toys) to make it more enjoyable if, say, he is not up to par?

1st is the size, if you ask them.
2nd is the actual size.
As a example. for some reason they all say a big 10", ever since Aerosmith had that song, My big ten inch",,,,, but for some reason when you actaully see it ,,,,, then you really see is a 10cm.
And yes size is nice but width is far better and able to hit that G spot much better.
Guys get a hint!
As to the little poll that was refered to in an earlier post: gtb was right, it is not scientific and not to be trusted. THe only think it tells you is what those particular people that responded say that they think. Unfortunately, when you get people that voluntarily find a poll, read it, and respond to it (like all internet polls or newspaper polls) you get what is called volunteer bias. It occurs because people that find and feel the need to respond on an issue generally are not representative of what the population at large thinks. THis can have an amazingly strong effect on the conclusions. If you want to be able to infer something about a larger population you either have to a) sample the entire population, or b) take a RANDOM sample of the population. Random in the statistical sense, not in the coloquial sense or just meaning haphazard.
I hope someone reads this, lol. I won't hold my breath.
1) The men in this study measured themselves--I believe anonymously--so there may have been a lot of fibbing going on.
2) Newer studies, where the men are measured by somebody else, have the average at 5-5 1/2 inches. It'd be interesting to see the distribution on some of those, but I've never seen them.
3) As time has gone by, a lot of things Kinsey said have appeared to be less than completely honest, so who knows how real these numbers are.
FWIW, a friend of mine who had some wild periods in her life and claims to have been with over 100 guys says average length is about 5 1/2 to 6 inches (This came up in conversation one time when I was on the phone with her while watching one of those HBO "Real Sex" specials. The show did one segment in which a dildo saleslady said that her most popular model was 5 1/2". I was like, "Hmm, you think it'd be bigger than that." My friend replied that, "No, that's about average, 5 1/2, 6.") I never asked her how big the biggest or how small the smallest she ever saw was, nor did she ever say anything about girth except some weeks after the one time we fooled around a bit, she said I was thick. If you ask her, she'll say size doesn't mean much except that really big ones hurt. However, she did have this one boyfriend who was suppossedly huge, and she wasn't the least bit shy about telling everybody.

Muttley, this may be as simple as a clarity issue and not necessarily an honesty issue. If a penis is too big, as many women have reported so often, then my friend, RAOFL!!, they couldn't possibly say that size doesn't matter or make a whole lot of difference. LOL, right?
Size, on its own, DOES matter because almost every single woman doesn't want something too big nor too small that they can't feel it at all. When a certain or size is mentioned, such as larger than 7" for example, then it simply won't be something many of them care to have...but size OBVIOUSLY matters, no denying that. ;)
Thats the communication I got out of this anyway, does that make sense?

Also, for length, notice how round numbers on the inch and half inch are reported with a higher frequency than numbers on the quarter inch? Looks like they had a pretty serious problem with measurement bias. THose doing the measureing may have been doing a lot of rounding.
I hope I didn't ruffle up your feathers too much, I'd just much rather have a complete answer than the simple -- it doesn't matter -- route.

This is what I've been trying to explain, but keep getting shot down, probably because I am a guy.
Regarding penis size surveys, I have three gripes. One and phatgenes mentioned it (see, I read it!) is volunteer bias. If I had a 4" penis do you think I'd participate in a survey where four nurses and a doctor stand around to measure me? Not a chance. Secondly, has anyone ever tried getting completely engorged with a ragin erection in front of three or four people for show? Trust me, it's really really hard. Thirdly, the measuring is done along the top. Bone pressed against the pelvic fat yields about 3/4" more than not pressing down, yet it's never mentioned.
Regarding diseases/causes for megaphalluses here's one. Some people with sickle-cell anemia get priapisms that often last for long periods of time. Gradually, because of the prolonged painfully engorged state, the penis constantly grows.
Para1995, it does make sense. It's just that the responses are almost never, "If given the same attributes between two men that were exactly alike, with one exception - his penis, I would choose the guy with the penis that fits my vagina better." It's never not mattered. The whole package -- including penis size -- matters.
This subject comes up about twice a week. If we all had this three of four sentence mantra intact copied and pasted everytime, we wouldn't be having this discussion three times a week.
One frequent statement I haven't seen you mention is my all-time favorite: "It doesn't matter; he can make up for it in other ways." That one's completely oxymoronic. If one size is just as good as any another, what is there to make up FOR?
