Average BPEL and EG done by web site probably you're not that small as you though

So jackinworld made a survey some time ago. Let me just paste the results, since posting links isn’t allowed.

“Readers were asked to measure their erect penis for length and circumference using uniform, precise methods. They were told: “If you have even the slightest temptation to lie or exaggerate your measurements on this survey, or if you aren’t interested in getting a precise measurement by using the methods outlined below, please do us all a favor and skip the next two questions.”

Length

This was the measuring method given for length:

With a rigid ruler handy, get a full erection. Lay the ruler along the top of your penis, and press the end of the ruler firmly against your body (where the pubic hair is). Hold your penis against the ruler with your hand, straighten out as much as possible any curvature that may exist, and try to hold your penis so that it’s sticking straight out from your body. Then determine the ruler reading at the very end of your penis.

Question: The non-exaggerated length of your erect penis, as measured by the above method (please don’t fill in if you didn’t follow the directions):

Overall average: 6.07”

By age:
• Age 12 4.47”
• Age 13 5.28”
• Age 14 5.67”
• Age 15 5.95”
• Age 16 6.14”
• Age 17 6.20”
• Age 18 6.13”
• Ages 19 and older 6.30”
By ethnicity (age 15 and over only):
• Blacks 6.89”
• Asians 5.33”
• Whites 6.22”
• Hispanics 6.15”
• Native Americans 5.66”

Among those who began masturbating to orgasm at age 11 or earlier: 6.08”.
Among those who began masturbating to orgasm at age 14 or later: 6.03”.

Readers age 16 and over whose penis is shorter than 6” masturbate an average of 6.8 times per week; those with a penis 7” or longer masturbate an average of 8.0 times per week.

In the average male, the penis reaches close to it’s adult length by about age 14 but continues to grow slowly until about age 16. Again, the sample size of some minority groups was too small for definitive statistical analysis, but according to these findings, people of African heritage report the longest penises on the whole, followed by whites, Hispanics, and Native Americans. As a group, Asians reported the smallest penis sizes among the ethnicities. Penis size and masturbation at an early age are probably unrelated. However, readers with larger penises currently masturbate slightly more frequently than those with smaller penises. Why? Who knows?

Circumference

This was the measuring method given for circumference:

With a flexible tape measure or piece of string handy, get a full erection. Measure the distance around (NOT across) the fattest part of your penis. In other words, wrap the tape measure or string around the shaft and measure it that way.

Question: The non-exaggerated circumference (not diameter) of your erect penis, as measured by the above method (please don’t fill in if you didn’t follow the directions):

Overall average: 4.37”

By age:
• Age 12 2.98”
• Age 13 3.88”
• Age 14 3.99”
• Age 15 4.19”
• Age 16 4.33”
• Age 17 4.31”
• Age 18 4.60”
• Age 19 and over 4.63”
By ethnicity (age 15 and over only):
• Blacks 4.55”
• Asians 4.20”
• Whites 4.48”
• Hispanics 4.42”
• Native Americans 3.74”

Among those who began masturbating to orgasm at age 11 or earlier: 4.43”
Among those who began masturbating to orgasm at age 14 or later: 4.35”

On the average, the penis seems to grow in circumference slightly longer than it grows in length, reaching a maximum in the late teens. Findings in relation to ethnicity and age of first masturbation were similar to the findings for length.”

Length looks similar to other popular surveys, but the girth seem to vary.
Do you think that it may actually be more accurate than the previous research done by doctors ?

The whole girth over length matter came out pretty recently. So maybe that’s why researchers didn’t really care to measure girth precisely.

That seems logical since 2 years ago I used to care about length only as well, it’s like the most obvious thing to care at early years, since all the jokes, stories, and plots in movies, music, books mention penis size by it’s length not the girth). So maybe that’s why people didn’t really care to be super accurate in measurements on penis girth, not to mention it’s easier to do inaccurate girth measure because of penis being uneven in shape, etc.

Maybe I’m not that small after all.

This is all self reported, so we can’t really take it at face value. Although, if anything, people will be more apt to exagerate their size if anything even when it’s anonymous.

Liscie,

Links are allowed here. In fact they are required when we “borrow” something from another website. So link it, or it disappears.

Just my theory. But I’d expect the averages we see online to be smaller than the real average. My reasoning is that most of the people who go online looking for average penis measurements are people who think they have a small unit.

The direction to measure girth at the “fattest” part of the penis caught my eye - implies that it was taked at the base for most people…. MSEG would, on average, be lower again..

Sorry Thunder. I couldn’t edit it after 10 minutes. Here’s the link:

“My reasoning is that most of the people who go online looking for average penis measurements are people who think they have a small unit.”

It was a survey among jerkinworld readers (actually pretty old). That would be truth if interest in some masturbation info, or general FAQ about solo play was somehow connected with small penis.

Interesting data, but the data is skewed down a little as 15 year olds aren’t fully grown yet, particularly with circumference, I believe all the most accurate measurements have it just under 5. Although length seems to be a little longer than most surveys that have been conducted, including the 15 year olds, which kinda leads me to believe that the average size is in fact somewhere in the 6’s, not the upper 5 inch range.

Did you take a look of the members here at thunders??

Interesting survey. The fact that the average length self-reported is higher than found in all scientific studies, while the average girth is, if anything, lower, suggests that men like to exaggerate their lengths, since this is the dick-size number that is part of popular culture, whereas girth, which no one puts numbers on outside of PE circles, may not have been exaggerated at all. (I figure the girth numbers were brought down a bit by those guys who reported their width/diameter despite the site’s instructions not to make that mistake.) Most men have no idea whether a 5” girth is above or below average, whereas everyone has heard bragging about 8” long dicks and such.

Interesting.

In any survey, I would just feel that more men that think they are bigger will take or attend these surveys. For example if it was a survey on how many free throws that someone could make in a row, I am sure the majority of people attracted to if would think they are a good free throw shooter, but I could be completely wrong in thinking this way. :)

My thoughts exactly.

I thought the lengths were a little long and the girth was rather small.

2 thoughts, first, a lot of the so called “scientific surveys” have listed virtually no difference in penis length between white and black participants, I don’t buy this at all. This survey shows about the difference I would expect. Second, the girth is very much on the low side of what is average, I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the survey involves teenagers who are not done growing yet.

I’d now like to ask you a question. Why would someone lie about their size in an anonymous survey? It just doesn’t make sense, if anything, you would think someone would downplay what their size is to help skew the pool in a way that makes them look better compared to the average (in other words, they would under state their size).

If they don’t know that they won’t do it.

When these participants volunteered I doubt they would have been considering the overall average, they would most likely have been thinking “I’ll say my cock is bigger then it is, then everyone will think I’m bad-ass”. Even though they’re anonymous I’m sure most of them would have believed that people reading those statistics would know who they are.

I’m not aware of any good scientific surveys that try to address the “racial differences” question directly. There have been “average size” studies done in various places in the world (including countries in Africa and Asia), but it’s hard to know whether differences between averages, in this case, are due to environment (e.g., nutrition) or genetics.

Even for the 19+ category, the average girth is a bit on the low side (4.6”). This may have been pulled down slightly by a few participants reporting their diameters rather than circumference.

Good question. The fact is that self-reported surveys always turn up average lengths higher than those found in the numerous studies that have been conducted on the topic. My guess is that most guys who exaggerate their lengths in anonymous surveys are just self-deluded — they honestly think their dicks are bigger than they are (by using shoddy measuring tricks, for example). I think you’d find exactly the same kind of exaggeration in an anonymous survey of men’s heights. Tons of guys truly believe they are a couple inches taller than they actually are… don’t know how they come to believe it, but it is what it is.
