More recent girth studies

Speaking as someone who started slightly under 5.5 and broke 6 at my PEak, yes, 5.5+ is generally noted as fat by experienced women, 6”eg actually noted as scary, especially associated with bpel just shy of 8”— my pro fetish confirmed that for me when they were less than thrilled at first glance at my tumescence.

So I guess you’d pretty much agree with my signature line optimum size. :)

It is like calling 5’-7’ average height for an adult male.

Mmmm— in theory yes— but I’m still just a tad greedy.

;)

Exactly!

It would actually be more about like saying average height range for an adult male is 5’7” - 6’1” (not exact statistics, but more along those lines).

Indicating a “large” range for the average is not saying it’s the mean of the set, it is saying that is the range for +- one standard deviation and the range in which the majority will be. The majority being over 50%, and in this case approximately 2/3 of men (as is the case with any range based on one standard deviation).

If guys lie about their height (something you can see), I wonder how often they lie about penis size. Not only is this 4.8” measurement pretty real when viewing the stats, it’s not necessarily even mid-shaft. In many studies, it may actually be averages, or possibly even maximum girth. The prism that penis size is viewed by on this site is highly distorted.

I think 7” NBP is far less impressive than 6” girth. First off, probably about a couple guys out of 100 have 7” NBP length, but I would say less than 1/100 have 6” mid-shaft girth with a legitimate measurement. Also, 6” girth is quite a bit bigger in volume.

Yeah, I like the ‘guess the size’ threads where guys here say it must be such and such a size because I’m ? LxG. But they are thinking of their bone pressed length with a kegeled, maxed out length, and often a pumped or clamped, ‘measured at the thickest point’ girth, and the dick they are looking at and comparing is at ‘normal’ erection. Not many average guys do porn; not even amateur porn.

I think every guy here should take a NBP, 90% erection measure of themselves for a reality check, because that’s what gets used and seen most of the time. Suddenly the statistical averages that give smaller sizes seem far more realistic.

Firegoat—

I would even go beyond that. I honestly think that the normal person that comes to this site has OCD or body dysmorphia. This is to say that there are plenty of guys out there who has a sub 4 inch girth who just go about their day. To mentally think about this reality (for some guys) is the equivalent of ramping the treadmill up to 15 MPH. It just can’t be done. Even for myself, it’s really weird when a guy says in earnest “I just really don’t think about my penis size, I couldn’t care less. I’m sort of insecure about my ACNE, HAIRLINE, MAN BOOBS (whatever it may be) but a small penis is just whatever.” This alone makes me believe that we are not dealing with people outside of the average.

Next and one that people don’t seem to get is that some people just have a natural propensity to lie. This is probably the majority of the population. I’ve said it before, but if you don’t believe me, try this experiment: Take an accurate true measurement of your height. The true median height is somewhere around 5’9. Ask 10 guys how tall they estimate themselves to be. Much like penis size, most guys have been measured at some point in their adult life. Ask them their height. I can pretty much assure you that you will notice at least one inch exaggeration on average. Now I don’t know the numbers but the difference between 5’9 and 5’10 probably knocks you up above at least 10% of the population. This is something that people could actually be called out on. I would imagine that this holds true when talking about penis size— even online.

And finally, most people won’t be so austere with their own measurements. Let’s just say you notice you have an accurate 4.4” MS girth, but you have a 4.8” Base, it’s pretty easy to just say 5” at that point.making it seem like everyone has an above average girth.

There are many threads on the site that go over the ‘average’ length and girth for the penis.

Almost every study out there that has a reasonable sample size comes to very nearly the same conclusions.

~5.9” BPEL with a Standard deviation of 0.8”

What does this mean to you? Well, out of a random sample of 1000 men:

680 of them will have a BPEL of between 5.1” and 6.7”
Only 25 will be longer than 7.5”
Only 3 will be longer than 8.3”

As far as girth:

Most studies show 5” as the median with a 0.5” SD

What does this mean to you? Well, out of a random sample of 1000 men:

680 of them will have a MSEG of between 4.5” and 5.5”
Only 25 will have more girth than 6”
Only 3 will have more girth than 6.5”

When you look at the numbers, 8.5” by 6.5” is a truly monster cock.

Girth always has been the big deal in my experiences. Length woman can’t judge worth a damn. But they can definitely tell you who was the thickest.

I agree and it fits to my own experiences of hanging around here for quite some time and calculating starting stats from the database we have here.

I think girls can tell both, even though they can’t estimate length as easily— They will know who is the longest or who hits the deepest. However, I think girls unconsciously think in terms of volume. Girth will be impressed with a long dick, but not as impressed as they would be with a guy who has an unusually fat one.

In their dreams.

One of the (many) potentially unsettling things about a place like Thunder’s is that there is a strong tendency for people with bigger sizes to be more likely to list their dimensions in their signatures or refer to them colloquially in their posts. People with average or smaller sizes, naturally, tend not to - it’s similar to the situation with amateur porn. If you spend a lot of time on Thunder’s and hadn’t thought about that, it would be easy to start to feel like perhaps all these length/girth studies really are inaccurate!
