No Such Thing As AVERAGE SIZE

My thoughts on this is that our sense of perception are all skewed. I looked up a porn actor today who is thought to be large but it is mostly camera angles and small women. His hands are big so he keeps them out of shot or close to his base. One picture with a tape measure had a woman with small hands holding it with the first 3” hidden under her hand making him look like he was packing 10”.

We as a society have a hard time showing ourselves in our most vulnerable moments. This forum is even skewed. The larger guys don’t have much issue showing and telling. It leads us to believe that most men are larger than the perceived average.

I believe my size is just right for me. Anyone shorter than me should have a smaller unit. That mindset helps me keep check with myself so I don’t get over zealous and train too much to frequent.

Thunders has proved a great training ground but can hurt a lot of male ego’s. We all have to love what we have, then work from that point. We all need to just strive to be a little better everyday.

Average
1. a number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number.

This isn’t some theoretical discussion about researchers or articles that report on penis size not willing to admit “everyone is special”, or your penis is this or that. Average is word…words have meaning. Researcher takes 100 dudes. Measures 100 dicks. Adds the sum of all measurements. Divides by 100. They report the AVERAGE size for their study, and that is all there ever is to it. Articles use “average penis size” because that is the literal definition of what was being studied in whatever paper the article is reporting on.

It aint that deep my man.

The average is a bit of a general term. The average you are referring to is the mean, as your definition shows, in a basic sense, there are at least two more types of average.

Yeahhhh. Exactly?

‘Average’ as a word can… and in the case of researching and reporting on cock size, refer to the ‘mean’ value. What difference does it matter that average can also refer to ‘median’ or ‘mode’ when ‘average’, in this use case encapsulates the reference of data fairly.

Really, using ‘medium’ as OP suggest would be further incorrect when referring to the data used in penis size studies.

Again words have meaning, and we use average in this case for a reason.

Or i guess we can suggest we all start referring to the ‘the mean average of penis sizes’ if its to complicated for the OP when people say ‘average’.

Yeah but it could refer to mode ie the most commonly seen size, given certain tolerances. I think that’s what people are talking about. It could refer to another average they used in the study that uses more advanced statistics. My point was that average is never that simple when you go beyond the secondary school definition

And you’re trying to apply more advanced statistical analysis on a basic data set which has a normal distribution. Wrong tool for the job.

I’m not tryin to apply anything 😉 just saying the situation is worth a conversation as average has lots of meanings

:)

Maybe guys with average dicks shouldn’t worry and just PE so they aren’t average any more.

But its not…

1. You can go read the handful of studies that get posted here on exactly this… and see for yourself they refer to “mean average” and never reference the mode. Pretty silly analysis to make when your trying to find the statistical averages for something across 3 billion possibilities and you only have a sample size of 1000 at most. You use ‘mean averages’ in almost every use case.

2. Even for studies that would or do use mode, using the term “average” as a blanket statement would STILL be correct. Since average can ALSO refer to mode.

So again, saying that we should start referring to things as ‘small, medium, or large’ is arbitrary and the topic of this thread is pointless. Since we already have terms like ‘average’, ‘below average’ and ‘above average’ which are all scientifically poignant when discussing the ‘average penis’ and studies done on the topic.

I was never arguing nor was any conversation needed about ‘average’ having more than one meaning. Its why i posted it the first place… In reference to the OP, the fact of the matter is ‘Average’ is a word which perfectly defines why we use it when referring to penis size. Because ‘Average’ is used to reference empirical data.

Quit being so pedantic about things that don’t change the argument for why we use the words that we do.

Your right this thread is kinda pointless for science. But the reality of the situation is real. If you go to a public mens group shower you will see very few men will use it. Probably because of the insecurity the industry and these group studies have put on the true average guy. I remember using a public shower and almost being a spectacle. Only myself and a few old men who might have never saw a porno movie or just don’t care at that point in their life. The place was packed The male ego is not supposed to be attached to the size of his manhood. But it is! And guys who feel smaller than “average ” will not participate in studies or showers or sharing info. So I feel that trail studies are definitely flawed by this.

Don’t think I’m the one being pedantic. Just enjoying the flow of conversation

…..

Then no offence but your ability to participate in conversation is lacking. The original reply you made, added no value to my original comment defining what ‘average’ stands for. You were either one; pointing out something obvious… that there are multiple ways to arrive at a scientific ‘average’. Which was odd because i think everyone could read the original definition just fine which explained that. Or, you were being subtly combative towards the position stated, which was that average is a perfectly defined word for the topic at hand, although (your observation) ‘average’ can refer to 3 ‘seperate’ methods does nothing to discredit this.

Not that it matters, but I guess I didn’t and still don’t understand the purpose of the original reply, or the follow ups. Ill pass it as a misunderstanding on my end ;)

I can assure you I wasn’t being combative, that’s not my style. My point was simply that average can mean a lot of things and I can understand the conversation people are having here in this thread, nothing more nothing less.

On dictionary.com one of the definitions for “average” is and I quote ” typical, common, and ordinary”. In daily dialog this is the most frequent use for the word that I see and use myself. In this case of the word I do not believe any penis size to be average. And for the pornos with 10 dudes fucking a girl or two even they have a hard time getting and staying erect. Now imagine one of these studies where you are in line to get measured by a doctor and he says “alright next come on in”. I don’t care how much viagra those guys took or even if the measurements took place at a strip club they cant be taken as Gospel

What do you think is the typical size of a penis then?
