Average Penis Size Shrinking

All I know is my penis was average to above average. And now its growing, not shrinking. ;)

Guys who ejaculate at least 21 times a month (which is hardly an outrageous frequency, I mean that’s twice every three days) are one third less likely to develop prostate cancer over their lifetime than guys who only ejaculate 4-7 times per month.

So it’s not as if frequent ejaculation makes you immune to prostate cancer, but it does lower your risk.

As far as martial arts go: well, if you believe some particular practice is going to help you become the ultimate Zen master bushido killing machine, then there’s probably some psychological benefit to doing so, as long as it’s not completely self-destructive. Lots of martial traditions around the world have emphasised the importance of self-denial, and abstaining from basic carnal pleasures can be a part of that. Knights in mediaeval Europe typically stayed up all night before a battle, fasting and praying. But I think it’s the belief that it’s somehow doing you good that’s important, not any actual ‘chi energy’ or whatever. For those of us not aiming to master a certain Japanese martial art, which is most of us, there’s no reason to deny ourselves the pleasure and in fact good reason to think it’s in the interests of long-term health.

Plus if I don’t come for two or three days I start to feel like I’m going completely nuts.

Oops, just realised I didn’t finish what I was saying in my earlier (somewhat ranty) post:

“…going to become extinct as a species any time soon”, is what I meant to say.

Holding semen does raise tension and focus. However a man is supposed to fuck and it raises testosterone and belief in self. There must be a healthy balance.

People are supposed to fuck, full stop. It’s good for you. :)

I tend to agree. When my wife and I fuck/make love nothing else matters.

Thanks Wibble for echo’ing my thoughts almost exactly… with one minor exception.

I disagree that weight would be a contributing factor because the change in the definition of obesity (http://www.obes … com/myth1.1.htm ) tends to skew perspective and make the world seem fatter than it really is. I tried to get some actual weight statistics but came up with nill.

Beyond that. In most things 10% difference would be significant in a study - but there’s no previous study that’s rigorous enough to warrant the significance. For example, if the previous study in comparison has an error margin of ±10% and this one ±5%, then what of it?

Summary: It’s not even that it’s of little significance - it’s that there’s no significance at all.

You’re right, it is primarily a sex hormone. Despite that, it influences and in return is influenced by actions (Or lack thereof) in a social environment. Wrestling is competition so losing or winning shows a change in testosterone level, not sure whether the added jell-O has any benefit. ;)

I’m not trying to convey that there are indeed sinister feminists plotting to castrate and rob us of our manhood. Nor am I saying that there’s evidence (In this study or any other, to my knowledge) that penises are shrinking due feminism, gender equality or adding Jell-O to wrestling matches. I’m saying that there -could- be some correlation between lower testosterone levels overall due to outside factors, including social or environmental impact.

I have which is why I wondered what impact outside factors could have on us. I read results of a study relating PCBs and lower sex hormones in both men and women.

So many theories. Can I first say; regazzi, you are all hung, so it’s relative.

This study’s possible lack of clinical vigor aside, it brings to mind other recent announcements. That average height is increasing. And skull size. Shouldn’t those be related to procreation? Natural selection? Not pollution!

It also brings to mind the debate over penis size and race. Was a bigger package more likely to get you laid, like alot!? But, as humans moved north and put on more clothes, penis size was no longer easily discernible. So men start growing taller? This must have something to do with female preferences.

How about today, when a metro-sexual with a big bank account is a catch. The guys with average junk try harder in life as well as in bed, right? So, big bank or big physique. Maybe it’s a paradigm shift back to the 8Th century, when small penises were fashionable? Just silly speculation.

I won’t say this study means anything, but evolution has been observed in shorter time frames, so who knows?

Average penis size might be shrinking but mine is getting bigger :)

Then you are part of the problem sir. And in the employ of the sinister feminists controlling the international Jell-O cartels.

Huh? The tallest people in the world live in Kenya!

Really? Most of Kenyan’s I’ve seen were more on the short side. I heard Netherlands are very tall on average .

Not all Kenyans, but the world’s tallest ethnic group (the Maasai) lives there. Some incredibly tall people in Sudan, too. I think Kenya is pretty ethnically diverse, probably plenty of short people too.

I think Netherlands is the tallest country if you’re talking about countries as a whole.

Which suggests little correlation between height and penis size.
