beenthere, nobody really wants “average.” Think about it…average looks, average height, average income, average intelligence….average penis. Call me cynical, but I think the whole concept of “average” is merely a consolation to those who fall below the “good” or “excellent” ranges (in whatever area we’re discussing). Asshole outlook? Perhaps - but also realistic, I think.

My visable dick was 5.75 nbp x 4.50 (girth measurements averaged together).
This underscores the point - even your girth average was barely below the Kinsey average (and remember, the Kinsey procedure used girth at its greatest point, so your 4.75 base was barely below the 4.9 or so “average”). Does having 0.15” less girth make you a “pencil dick”?

That is good example of where volume comes in. Women may not know volume numbers, hell I don’t even know volume numbers, but it seems to me that they percieve volume. That is why I was small to them, and quite possibly to others. My girth pulled my volume down….
Yeah, I’ve rattled about this for a while. When a woman speaks of an ex being “big,” almost always she’s intuitively referring to his “volume” (without even realizing this concept, of course). When her current beau hears this, he starts thinking “length,” etc. As we all know, a guy can be 1 1/2” - even 2” - shorter than another guy, yet still have a “bigger” dick. With that much of a length discrepancy, the woman would probably notice that the other guy was “longer,” but she’ll still be thinking about how the hard fatty felt inside her.
And, if she were comparing the 2 to one of her gal pals, I’d bet she’d describe the 6 x 6 guy as having a “bigger” dick than the 7.5 x 5 fellow (and he would, by almost 2 1/4 cubic inches).
