Penis Size: The True Average

Thanks for posting that graph, very interesting. Notice how for each age group it’s a more or less normal distribution, except for older boys/men, where those who are significantly above average are much bigger, more than we’d expect. Also notice the trend line at age 19. It looks like bigger guys have stopped growing while average guys are still growing a little and smaller guys growing significantly. It would be good to see this with another five years. It looks like there’s a lot of catching up happening, that some are just late bloomers. It looks like only 0.7 inches difference between top and bottom ten percent, and that’s before catching up. I’m 7.5 bpfsl (7.25 bpel, 6.5 nbpel) and I’d be much bigger then the top ten percent of guys there (who again, look like they’ve stopped growing). The average seems similar to other western populations.

All these studies seem so low compared to whats on here at thunders PRE PE, A PENIS ENLARGEMENT SITE. You would expect a smaller than average from most studies around here yet its above average.

From the height vs penis size topic:
6,49 BPEL 5,07 MSEG

Incorrect measuring, better erection quality and the bigger girth might be because bigger girth tends to look shorter thus giving size anxiety bringing guys to here.

That was definately a factor for when I joined here.

same with me ICandothis. gp

If you guys check out mraverage.com, and mess around with the “sizer”, you’ll see how this works. I’ve inputted my goal cock of 8.5 x 6.25 and it looks huge, but still a little “stumpy”. Right away, I’ll input an 8.5 x 4.75 unit and it looks so much longer.

I know that I deal with this a little bit. I’m at 7.25 x 5.55, and it looks kind of short from my vantage point. Plus, I am a large guy, and I have a 1 &1/2” fat pad, so when I do a BPEL measurement, I’ll look at the ruler in front of my face and think “damn, that’s a lot of cock”.

But still, when I look down at it or in the mirror, it looks short. Oh, the tricks our minds play on us. I think, if I get to my goal stats, I’ll just have to believe what I see, and not worry about the optical illusion, because that’s what it is. (not that I really “worry” about it anyway. this is sort of a game to me :D )

We’re close to the same size, only my fat pad is about half yours, maybe less than that. I say the same dam thing, some days I look at my unit, and it looks like its a decent size (never large), other days I look at it, and think to myself, “is that a fucking micro penis or something?”, and it really does look like that to me, that, along with the fact that I felt small when I was 6’1 248lbs 8% bodyfat makes me think I have BDD (and OCD), because objectively, my unit isn’t huge or even large, but it is above average and my prime physique was large, no matter how you cut it.

True words Icandothis.

I always look at mine like “come on” but I know it’s probably got more volume then like other peoples knob.
I want a 7 inch flacid hang.

Who knows if there is an element of BDD, OCD or BFD for that matter with all of this stuff. ;) We are what we are, and as long as we aren’t hurting ourselves or others, then it’s all good in my book. There is nothing wrong with striving to be good or even great at something. Here at Thunder’s, it’s nice to KNOW where your unit stands in the mix. (and yours IS large) You know it, but probably think it could/can always be bigger. Ask Titleist.

Some years ago, I remember reading some data in a magazine (Playboy?) that the average was 6” and 2% of men were 8” or larger and 0.1% were 9” or larger. This made some assumptions that I think are unwarranted.

First, it speaks of 6” as average. Based on my observations, I think 5” is closer to average. Most of he studies reporting a 6” average use self reporting and we know what nonsense that can be.

Second, the 2% and 0.1% figures lead me to believe that there is an assumption made: penis length follows a normal Gaussian distribution, in this case with a mean of 6” and a standard deviation of 1.” Using this as a premise, if true, then one penis in 30,000 is 10” and less than one in a million is 11.” Well, do you believe it? I remember thinking: “Oh, how convenient: a standard deviation of exactly one inch.”

I know of no reason, other than statistical convenience, to accept that penis length follows a normal distribution. As someone much wiser than myself once noted, you alter theories and explanations to fit data, not the other way around.

I don’t have much trouble believing penises on a bell curve or close to it, at all.

Never seen a 10 or an 11 inch penis, so those are still safely undocumented as evidence, but their rarity is certainly looking as solid as predicted to be.

I too think 5 is average. 6 if it’s BPEL.

Humans follow normal distribution in the same way any natural random system will, same for height, weight or anything. There might be a bias one way due to factors but the rough arrangement will be mostly around the average, this is the data

Us PEers are fucking up that normal bell curve.

The average penis is shorter than a dollar bill

Really? Well it must be true then!

Well, a dollar bill is 6.125”

Most size studies put the average around 5.6 to 5.8”

So I guess Cosmo did a little research.
