I think this topic is so interesting as it reminds of size exaggerations and misconceptions in other parts of life.
I work in the field a lot all over the world where I encounter a lot of interesting wildlife. We have the same size estimation issues and data there with certain species. When I was a kid pretty much all books said that Anaconda’s and Reticulated Pythons would grow 10 meters long (33 feet), same was said for certain crocodile species, Kodia, bears would stand up to 4 meters (12 feet) Tall and Siberian tigers would be 4 meters long.
In reality though it is extremely rare to find a 6 meter Python or Crocodile and 7 meters (23 feet) is probably the maximum these species can reach in optimal conditions. Quite a bit short of the good O’l 10 meters!
Because of these exaggerated measurements that once were regarded as fact a lot of people have a misconceptions on the size of these animals.
When encountering a 6 meter (20 feet) Salt Water Crocodile and seeing how huge that really is (partly because of the increased mass, think volume) most people will automatically think that this croc must be close to the legendary 10 meters.
So this partly has to do with misconception since people think based on their knowledge that a huge crocodile has to be at least 9 meters and can’t be just 6 meters. So when Encountering the huge monstrosity that is a 6 meter Saltwater Crocodile they automatically believe that they are eye to eye with a 9 meters long crocodile.
Furthermore during this experience their judgement will possible be clouded due to excitement, fear and simply just being astonished to encounter this in real life.
Then there is other factors that come in play especially when telling the story after the event occurred: They will be excited, proud, like to boast and get attention and suddenly that 9 meters will become the fabled 10 meters long monster.
Now all the above can be related when someone encounters a 8 inch + penis. It will be so much bigger visually then the average size they are used to of 5.5 inches that this has to be in their mind 10 inches or more. Couple that with guys usually lying about their size and the actual average being lower then people in reality know.
As a result it has turned most women to believe when seeing a 5 incher that it is actually 6 inches, a 6 inchers becomes 7 inches, a 7 incher becomes 8 or 9 inches, etc.
Simple example, there is a few girls out there telling everyone that I am 11 Inches even though I am 3 inches short of that length. But It was so big in there eyes that they pretty much would have believed any size I told them. After all 8 inches is just a few inches above the average 6 incher…. Perhaps they even go around saying that I was 12 inches wanting to brag a bit more.
My view on the average is length wise 5.5 BP and 4.8 girth wise. That is based on my experience having been around the world and having been in plenty of bathhouses and gym showers.
Then again statistics can be a bitch… and might be totally against you. Even though it is unlikely to encounter more than one large one statistically speaking when having less than 10 lovers it is still possible. Considering how many people there are around I am sure it happens that a certain girl somewhere will have had 10 lovers who by change all were 8 inches.
