Kinsey Penis Length

Yes 1955.

I don’t know why we still bother with it. It was self reported and compared to all of the more recent and more controlled studies the results were too big.

Self reported surveys are not reliable as we all know. So the average size, 100% sure, is less than Kinsey survey points out.

WOW I am in the 15nth longest. (please don’t talk about girth…)

That’s terrible how there is a slight increase at 4”.

I’m very happy to see this data. I have to confess, I’ve always had a bit of anxiety. I assumed all dudes were walking around with 8”. Better yet, being a statistician, I love that I can finally see the *distribution* of the sizes. I mean, who cares if average is 6” and the standard deviation is 3”. There’d be a huge amount of guys with massive dongs that were considered “slightly better than average.”

So, now the issue is that my girlfriend is very tall, and hardly likely to have dated dudes on the mid-low end of this spectrum. I mean, who’d want to lose ALL their anxiety anyway, right? Where else would we get the desire for that last hanging set? :)

And don’t get me started on her big rabbit!

I always thought the Kinsey study was self reported data so I take it as that.

Sorry for posting this here but I can’t actually make a new post as this is a new account (was old member lost email to hakers or something).

It kind of confirms the stuff we talk about here, that stretched length is more than erect. Also it is a study that adds weight to the avrages given in other study’s. Either way some light reading for all you science geeks out there ;-)

Penile measurements in normal adult Jordanians and in patients with erectile dysfunction - PubMed

Thanks for the link.

While looking at it I ran across this Accurate method for determining functional penile length in Turkish young men - PubMed which basically states that stretched penis length is a good way of determining erect length and Women who prefer longer penises are more likely to have vaginal orgasms (but not clitoral orgasms): implications for an evolutionary theory of vaginal orgasm - PubMed which seems to suggest that women who prefer the longer penis are more likely to have vaginal orgasms.

This survey does not stack up to any recent study. A self reported study from the 50s is just scary. All the egos and pride would have caused many to submit false data.

True mitch but in my opinion people are MUCH more likely to lie about such things nowadays then the 50’s. People where much more loyal then and they were who they where. These days with the ways everythings got to be ‘faster’ or ‘stronger’ or ‘bigger’ it seems like everyones trying everything they can to look the bigger man!

Thats why most guys feel small despite being average or bigger than.

The stats that i struggle to believe is the average girth. Im classed as average girth but it seems like every penis ive ever seen is bigger haha.

Thanks man, I have heard of these findings but never seen the study.

The new study done with the 3d printer and the dildo was the best idea of all.. and they found when the women were asked to find the size they preferred again, many picked a slightly larger sized dildo… (so they are not good at remembering size possibly) I think the best study they could do would be to find women from all walks of life and give them a number of different sized dildos and rate them. Only thing is sample group would be so hard to find, unless they are really into dildos or sex already and then you kind of ruin the point of the test.

The study gave me the bird
