7.5/8, mathematically, works out to 15/16 of an inch....do you mean 7 and 5/8, or 7.625"...??
It means 7.5 inches to 8 inches. That range.

i've also often wondered with the natural growth of people in general (1930's avg man 5ft 8in and 145 pounds, 1960's avg man 5ft 10 inches and 165 pounds and 2000 avg man is 6ft and 192 pounds).
Might be true of Dutch males but not, I don't think, of Americans.

I think 7.5-8 inch penis' are really rare. There are those exceptions where you can find them as evidenced by some that are seen on this site. However i've also often wondered with the natural growth of people in general (1930's avg man 5ft 8in and 145 pounds, 1960's avg man 5ft 10 inches and 165 pounds and 2000 avg man is 6ft and 192 pounds). The measurements through out the years is just what i could find on line of american men but not sure just how accurate they are. But it is something to thing about we have naturally grown bigger physically through out the years so why wouldnt the penis grow as well.
Can you provide documentation on this. As far as I know the average man in 2000 was 5'8", not 6'0"

Very interesting replies, and exactly what I was looking for. Obviously no definitive answers, but then again, there are no definitive studies. I've read several places that a true 8" is probably around the 1 in 800 to 1,000 range. I would consider that pretty darn rare. I agree that girth needs to be considered in the equation as well, but I don't know a simple, clean way to do that.

Um yeah, no. :cool:

==

For starters, 6ft tall is way taller than average (which is about 5'8" as someone pointed out).

Secondly, the healthy high end weight for someone who is 6ft tall is about 175 lbs.

A person who was 6ft tall and 192 lbs. that was not a weight lifter, athlete, and/or just an overall fit person would look overweight. You would be considered a large-framed male at 6ft tall and 188 lbs. without any muscle.

EDIT:

Here are some links -

I think it's probably pretty common, day to day it's not something I think about or worry about. In saying that however, I also think being a member of this site over an extended period can allow a person to become distorted to the reality of what is common.

I am 7.5-8 in length depending on level of arousal and 5.75 (avg) in girth. While I have always considered myself a little above average since first messing around with girls and watching porn, it wasn't until I started reading forums on this site and others and messing around on web cam did I realize I might be more in the rare category. A few past girlfriends including my current have said I was "their biggest" but I never put much stock in that and assumed they told every boyfriend that.

But I still don't think it's as incredibly rare as people here would like to think. I agree that you must take into consideration girth but like someone said girth "usually" corresponds to the length. I would say my size 7.5-8 x 5.5-6 is in the area of 5-7% of all men world wide. Which I consider "large" or "above average". I do think that once you hit a true 8"+ x 6"+ you get into huge/rare territory maybe 1-2 %.

Oh, I am also 5'11" and 185 lbs, and I don't consider myself fat but I do think it makes my penis look much more pedestrian than if I were 5'8" and 155 lbs.

Is not 5-7% out of all men worldwide rare? :confused: (just using your own numbers).

Also, saying a true 8x6"+ is in the 1-2% range, but 7.5-8x5.5-6" is only the 5-7% range seems odd. Those are essentially the same thing. Also, we're talking about .5 of an inch, which is extremely negligible both in actual measurement and to the eye.

In reality, 7.5-8x5.5-6" is actually the 1-2 % category.

Bone pressed I'm around 7.3 - 7.4 inches, but if I am asked I usually say I am 7 inches as that is my non bone pressed length, so many people claim to have 9 inch cocks but I don't think they realise just how monstrous 9 inches is

I think the condom companies have an interest in convincing us that the average penis is quite small, and that anyone 7 in or over is some sort of super-rare freak of nature.For if they can boost the confidence of smaller men and get more of them fucking, they can sell more condoms, of course.

Oh my gosh, it's the 3rd world war.
Porn industry vs condom industry. One side wants you to believe in monsters while the other side wants you to believe that you have a monster.
