Chinese Men Measure Up Below The Belt

I found this story, searched for it here, didn’t find it, posted the link and the story. I hope I don’t get in trouble for any of that. This’ll make most of you feel good about your size. I immediately ran into the bathroom and pulled out the measuring tape. I’m several centimeters longer flaccid and without any PE than the longest group (Italians), so damn that was a big ego boost. Incidentally, I’m American and Italian / German descent.

Chinese men measure up below the belt
Size not an issue … although Italy out in front, study finds

HONG KONG - Chinese men have no reason to feel inferior about the size of their penises, according to a Hong Kong study which showed local men measured up to others elsewhere in the world below the belt.


“Our conclusion is that Hong Kong people are no smaller than western men, where their penises are concerned,” said Chan Lung-wai, director of the Urology Center at the Union Hospital, who headed the study.

“There has always been the myth that westerners have bigger penises and their (sexual) ability is better.”

A group of scientists in Hong Kong spent five months from October last year measuring 148 ethnic Chinese volunteers aged between 23 and 93.

The average length of their flaccid penises was 8.46 centimeters (3.4 inches), which compared favorably with similar studies on other men overseas.

Germans have average lengths of about 8.6 centimeters, Israelis 8.3, Turks 7.8 and Filipinos 7.35. Italians were the longest at 9 centimeters and Americans averaged 8.8.

The study did not measure the penises when they were erect.

It found that a man’s height bore no relation to the length of his member, but those with higher body mass indexes, or fat content, appeared to have shorter penises.

“It seems that as someone gets older and fatter, his blood vessels change, so the penile size is not static. It may be a reflection of the condition of the person’s blood vessels,” Chan said, adding that this could spur yet another study.

I wonder how they measure that. Bone pressed flaccid length or what. It seems not BP ,since they say that those with higher body mass indexes appeared to have shorter penises. Strange if they did not think about the fact there is a fat padding to consider when measuring..

At best this is a study into bone pressed flaccid sizes of Hong Kong. Which we all know can vary greatly. Flaccids can be large if you give it a tug or get an erection and let it deflate into semi erect size. I’ve also seen more studies into the asian average that says the average is less. This study also has a very low sample group (148). I also don’t trust the Chinese government to let out any true statistics to the world. They are well known for utilizing propoganda and withholding information. In this day and age the Chinese government seeks to compete with the world in all fields, this arena won’t be an exception.

I’m not insulting Chinese ethnic group, but you know as well as I do you cannot trust what comes out of a media controlled communist government. You can’t even trust what comes out of supposed free press governments. Since Chan Lung-wai is chinese working in China, he possibly has much to gain by exaggerating a study. Nationality studies should be done by an unattached independent third party/parties.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention though, I am always on the look out for average studies. I also seek photos of extreme asian sizes preferably next to a measuring device.

True. I think only PE’ers only press in - I did not however. From what I can tell most surveys have been done un-bone pressed.

I just noticed that the article mentioned they were volunteers. There goes any chance at a true average. This study is now a study about what the average flaccid size is for Chinese in Hong Kong confident enough to volunteer :)

I think measuring a flaccid penis is bullshit. Some are growers and some are showers (most likely guys from southern regions), and the size varies all the time.

MY flaccid can vary a ton throughout the day. This study has no credibility. Poor Filipinos… The Chinese may have some grudges against them or something.

Very interesting

Yeah, because it’s only true if it’s a study done by a westerner right?Because lord knows, westerners never slant their findings.

BTW westerners aren’t bigger, blacks are bigger. Westerners only have special internet paysites with their photoshopped dick on it :D

it says right in the article that they didnt measure erect. its a total waste of an experiment.

Illpo I assume you are speaking about what I said about third party? I never said it had to be westerners. In fact the asian average studies I’ve seen are the ones that show a lower average than several non asian studies on averages for asian. The chinese have already done studies on size I don’t understand why this study is supposedly a revelation, other than the proclomation that all their past studies were BS and that this new study should be accepted as fact.

Multiple parties testing the same sample is the best idea. They also shouldn’t be volunteers. I’ve discussed the idea with several other people and have come to believe the best sample is probably a drafted military. I guess the only draw back is you won’t be able to test draft dodgers :)

The only good study on Asian penises I’ve seen is here :

AIM: To investigate the flaccid and stretched penile sizes of young Korean men and their complexes or pride about their penile size. METHODS: After an explanation and agreement to the purpose and methods of this study, 123 Korean men in their early 20’s visiting the Jinhae Military General Hospital were included in the study. The flaccid penile length, flaccid mid-shaft circumference, stretched length and pre-pubic bone fat pad depth were measured in a warm comfortable environment. The accuracy the subjects assessed their penile size was investigated by asking them to rate their penile size, as ‘very small’, ‘small’, ‘normal’, ‘large’or ‘very large’, All subjects were asked to complete the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI) test. RESULTS: The mean flaccid length, flaccid circumference, stretched length and fat pad depth of the 123 subjects were (6.9+/-0.8) cm, (8.5+/-1.1) cm, (9.6 +/-0.8) cm and (1.1 +/-0.4) cm, respectively. The answer distribution on penile size was 1 (0.8 %) ‘very small’, 29 (23.6 %) ‘small’, 86 (69.9 %) ‘normal’, 6 (4.9 %) ‘large’ and 1 (0.8%) ‘very large’. Subjects who underestimated their penile size showed significantly higher scores on the hypochondriasis (Hs), depression (D) and psychasthenia (Pt) subscales of the MMPI than those in the Unbiased Group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: In consultation, with a patient requesting penile augmentation, the urologist should consider the psychologic attitude of the patient to his penile size.

Don’t bother getting into it with Illpo. He makes the ASSUMPTION that any stats that show that black are biggest, whites somewhere in the middle, and Asians towards the low point (in erection length) are de facto, racist and wrong. Even when it is an ASIAN pointing to a survey. YOu would think he would enjoy the fact that blacks were biggest (nearly - American Indians are . . ), but he sees that as a stereotype that demeans blacks. Me, I would LOVE IT if whites were the biggest!

I found this part interesting.
