Well it's one thing to say it's 1 in 10,000,000. It's quite another to say 1 in 1000. That's the difference b/t (like you said) 1 guy in your high school having one vs. 1 guy in the entire state of Ohio having one. Or more than the entire city of New York. Sometimes I think people fail to understand the magnitude of odds because they just hear something generic like "1 in 10,000" and just think "Oh, that's really rare", without actually giving any thought to the actual real world application behind that value
Hmmm. . . Perhaps a little explanation of statistics is needed here. When one says the odds of something happening is
1 in x - let's say 1 in 10,000
(oh, dear!) - it says nothing about what may actually occur in a group of 1,000, for instance. Or 100,000 for that matter. Through different methods,
1 in x is what's deemed an ideally expected occurrence.
For instance, the odds of getting a royal flush in Deuces Wild on a full pay video poker machine is something like 1 in 40,000 (playing correctly, which very few do). That doesn't mean it hits like clockwork on every 40,000th play. A little old lady from Milwaukee can sit down at a machine in Vegas and hit a royal after a half hour's play. It happens. Bob Dancer, one of the top video poker players in the world with an annual income between $250,000 and $1,000,000, once went well into October before he hit a royal. Then he hit a string of them, recouped his losses and went on to make his yearly goal. He stuck it out because he knew the odds when playing correctly and just sweated bullets until they came through for him. The occurrence of an extremely unusual event is highly unpredictable in the short run, but predictable in the long run.
Therefore, although the odds against a guy having a 10"+ cock may be high - let's say,
oh, forget it! - that doesn't mean it can't occur in a school somewhere of 1,000 guys. There might only be one cock that big in the whole state of Ohio, but like a lottery winner, it has to show up someplace. It might just happen to be in that high school. Or Indiana.
Guinness has never, and has no plans whatsoever to recognize the worlds largest penis. They have stated this multiple times. Jonah Falcon is a guy who appeared on a documentary once and used his 15 minutes of attention to essentially BS the world. His story is well-known around here and he absolutely, 100% without a shred of doubt does not have a 13.5" (or anything close) sized penis.
You're probably right. I read awhile ago something about them finally taking up the cudgel (so to speak), but I didn't check out the provenance. It probably was a spurious report. But that makes it just that much more difficult to get any closure on the subject.
I also suspect you're right about Mr. Falcon. (The odds are much, much lower on this one.) That's why I noted it wasn't authenticated and took his claim with a grain of salt and and a dose of humor. Or at least thought I did. (My humor escapes some people.) To wit: "
Jonah Falcon claims to be 13.5". . . It would be interesting to see if Mr. Falcon bares himself for the tape [of the Guiness investigator]."
Also, TMK, no staff measured study has ever documented a 10"+ penis.
The problem in that regard has already been noted. There aren't that many authenticated studies to begin with,
* and in the typical rather small sampling sizes it's unlikely they'll encounter one that big. And as we've noted, Guiness went all wobbly on this one. That doesn't mean they don't exist.
The tallest man on earth is Sultan Kosen (with ".." over the o) of Turkey. He's 8'2" tall. I could measure every guy on Santa Monica Beach tomorrow and doubt whether I'd encounter one even 7' tall. That doesn't mean they don't exist; just that their rarity makes it highly unlikely that I'd run into one. And like our discussion above, that rarity didn't make it impossible that Mr. Kosen's high school couldn't have had an 8'2" tall student, nor that Yao Ming's high school couldn't have had a 7'6" basketball player. These guys had to go to school somewhere.
There have been a few documented cocks that big, though. Kinsey authenticated one 10.5 inches. Yes, his average penis size was based on self-reported data, but Alfred was an industrious and insatiably curious soul and apparently encountered one whopper which he took the time to personally validate. Many have faulted his statistical methods but no one has ever questioned his scientific integrity or honesty.
Over at
The Visualiser, Vicky has authenticated thousands of penises so far. Members send in a check and photos of their cocks, and she verifies both. She uses some high-falutin' gizmo to work it all out. There are two CockEye2 Verified" members over 10": BioSean,10.6" and Robben, 10.04". Now Vicky's no fool. When someone claimed something that out of the ordinary, I'm sure she worked that gizmo overtime. Probably short-circuited the damn thing.
Granted, these aren't exactly the Department of Weights and Measures, but most X-Files-type conspiracy theorists won't accept any proof from the government or media anyways, so it can never be proved to their satisfaction.
I myself don't think it's that unlikely that there are a few 10" or so guys out there. It's not like we're talking unicorns. I am extremely skeptical of guys claiming 12 inches, though. Not saying there can't be, but I'll have to see that pig fly myself first.

And it's highly unlikely there ever will be a large, thoroughly random study of cock sizes. The Cancun study said it was random, but it actually wasn't. They recruited young college students off the beach. Assuredly not every male college student there got measured - there's always a few shy ones - thus skewing the results. The only way to get a truly representative large-size sample wold be to forcibly round up every guy in a certain area, and I doubt whether that will ever happen, at least in the United States - and that's what counts for us. We reject out of hand any studies from foreign countries.
