No Such Thing As AVERAGE SIZE

I don’t know what section to post this thread so here it goes. After looking at progress reports and newbies starts, all the threads that say height vs length vs girth, or all these things. I am fully convinced that there is no “average size” but this should be more called a “medium sized”. If average size is 6 inches long by 5.1 inches girth that’s just as rare on here as a 7 by 5.5 or a 5.5 by 5. I noticed every one is different and by a lot. Of course there are below medium above medium and large but there are a lot of short/fat, long/skinny, long/fat, short/skinny. The size of penis’ are all over the board. Women don’t go saying ” I have average sized boobs” and I think their boob sizes are way less complicated than a penis size.

Tell me if I’m wrong please.

Have you ever had a statistics course?

I don’t really understand what you are trying to say. You don’t like the word average and suggest using medium instead. That’s just semantics.

Average has a specific meaning when working with numbers. It is a single value which can represent the entirety of the set of numbers.

Medium suggests a middle position.

If you google what is the average size penis, you will find hundreds of articles giving opinions on the average size, meaning that your opinion that there is no such thing as an average size is way below the average opinion on this subject. :D

Even studies are all over the place. Bone pressed length ranging from 13,x to 16,x cm. And standard deviation up to 2,7cm. Meaning within one standard deviation (68,1 % guys), there is 4-5cm difference. And 1/3 of guys deviate even more. Girth there is more uniform pattern around 12cm.

Think what the OP is saying it’s that an average sized penis is non specific. An average length or an average girth is better.

But most comparison sites now are very specific, even to volume so I think the observation, whilst valid, is a little dated.

So his point is that no penis is exactly 5.5” BPEL and 4.58” MEG? (Calcsd numbers)

Yes, penis do come in all lengths and widths, just like boobs come in a mix of chest circumference and cup size. Shaped a bit differently from girl to girl, but you know when you get a big/small/average set.

Exactly I think that the word “median” is more appropriate because people say “the average size” instead the “the average of all sizes” on the majority of those cosmo / mens health websites. The way people say it is almost like the majority of penis fall within this range plus minus a half inch.

Of course there is an average. And even if its not a single digit, it will be an average range in which the majority will fall in. As an example, 13-16cm. Of course, a 13cm dick will be small compared to a 16cm dick, but that is not the purpose of the average. The purpose is to say that most men will fall in or between those numbers. As stated, those numbers are example, I am not aware of current real studied numbers.

Wanna take a look at average? Go to porn websites and watch gang bang videos. Those in which the girl is having 100+ guys. All those guys are volunteers or sometimes offered $100 bucks. Random guys. You will see the majority fall in a similar size. You will see a few smaller than the rest, and sporadically you will see one way over the rest. Since most guys are close to each other or inside the frame, its easy to compare. I dont think any of us has ever had the opportunity to be among hundreds of guys naked with an erection lol, and at least I have no interest into that, but those videos can give you a tiny realistic perception of whats out there.

I believe that one of the problems here is mixing “everyday” terminology with precise measurements. And the world is full of these reporting problems.

(And another is that we all know that the penis varies in size with all sorts of external and internal conditions. I’m not going near that aspect… … .!!!!

If we go “back to first principles “… … … … … ..

Built into any reporting of any measurement in the scientific and engineering world is a very basic understanding that if something is said to be 6 inches, that in the absence of any other information, we are to assume that there is a range of lengths that could reasonably be called “6 inches”, and that equates to “plus or minus half of the smallest dimensional unit being quoted “.

Thus in this case, 5½” to 6½”.

Perfectly reasonable for an everyday discussion of penis length around the office water cooler, or these days over video link.

And if we report something else’s average as 5.1”, naturally the same rules apply.

But the outcome is very different. And in the context of the human penis, and an ordinary school ruler, ridiculous. ( Yes, I know they are not “rulers”, )

Here, the smallest subdivision is 0.1”, and the implied allowable range is taken, therefore as 5.05” to 5.15”. In the context of an average penis circumference, or girth, utterly meaningless… … … … .

(BUT, if you are measuring today, and you get 5.1”, and you are looking for a trend, then by all means write it. down, and use it for your own running average.)

Penises must be some of the most difficult objects to measure with any degree of repeatability and confidence.

So, when quoting “Averages”, best not compound the repeatability difficulties by striving for too many decimal points !!!

I think everyone on this post is right. I like what iggi and penine said that you can have two “average size” members next to each other and one can look a lot larger than the latter. And like red fox said that 1 in 3 guys are even further out of “average”. So hypothetically say a girl had sex with only 6 guys, most likely she has seen a very large spectrum of size differences. Every penis is different and unique.

If a girl has seen 6 dicks, she has seen 6 different lengths, but not necessarily a large difference in lengths.

Unfortunately i have in the past saw hundreds if not thousands of dicks… i was a C/O at a supermax prison for over 10 years… depending on job placement, often a daily part of the job was strip searching convicts… im no expert on dicks, but i can back up that generally the majority of men fell within a close median… i can also say i saw a lot more very small ones than i did very large ones…

My girl has only experienced my 15.5 BPEL penis. Is this considered an average size by her understandings? I doubt. It is the only size for her. So, a girl with larger sexual experience can find 16 cm to be average. Another girl might consider the 20 cm range for average, as long as she was limited in experience to only 20+ cm penises.

For me, the average size is the working one.

When you talk about average, it is always according to a population. Ie. When you say average (human) penis you also need to define which group of people you are talking about.
So if your girl is talking about the average of her sexual partners, so yes the average is 15.5.

Now the real tricky part in statistics is always to make a guess about an average of a population that you cannot measure.
Example, what is the average size penis of all males on the planet. To do this by measuring all males on the planet would be a tedious task, so instead you measure a smaller population believed to be representative for the whole population and with this data you make a guess about the complete population and statistics has found out that the “variation” in most populations follow certain rules and with that you can suddenly make very good guesses about the whole population by measuring smaller populations.

At least something like that :-)

Thank you for your service, I know that job is not easy, and yes, your experience is excellent as far as PE concerns. My perception from many years in this game while reading, researching and the overall data from these forums, is very similar to what you say. More often you find under average than over average.

Sometimes we talk here and set as a goal 8-8.5, and that is already way over average and rare to find in the population. It is no surprise that a woman can easily guesstimate an 8 inch as a 10 inch. Because most probably she has never seen one like that before. Now a 9-10 inch dick, that is one in a million.
