I'm aware this is going to be a controversial post but please hear me out and try to be open minded...

I have always thought that the average penis size is bigger than what the general consensus seems to be. I remember back when I was in high school, a female friend told me her science teacher said the average penis was 6 and a half inches erect (seems like a weird thing to talk about in class but I guess it does technically fall into the broad category of science). Then for a while, I kept hearing that 6 inches erect was average. It wasn't until way later that I found out that 5.5 inches erect was average according to studies, putting me at dead average with a 5.5 inch non-bone pressed erect length and a 4.5 inch erect girth.

With that said, I have seen way too many of my friend's penises growing up and pretty much all of them are over 6 inches (by at least a little bit), with a lot of them being well above that. Yes, I am aware that this is anecdotal but do you really trust the studies that much to be accurate? Measuring an erect penis is a much more awkward process than measuring someone's height for example. I think by lowering the average by like an inch, it's really genius because the small guys feel like they're average, the average guys feel like they're big, the big guys feel like they're huge, etc etc. Everyone wins. No one wants to believe that those studies might be off for these reasons and that maybe the average penis size is bigger than we've been lead to believe.

I think 6.5 x 5 as an average is realistic. Even in those cuckold videos, I have noticed that the cuck guy is usually visibly bigger than me.. and I'm "average"... they couldn't find a small guy to play that role? Or at least an "average" guy? Where are all of these 5-6 inch penises that are supposedly "average"? I'm just not seeing them. It would be nice to be average but I guess I just don't want to be one of those delusional guys that lives in a fantasy world. Unrelated to penis size, but I know a guy who claims that he is average height and he is 5'6" max. Lol, like come on. Even in the other thread I posted on this website, there is a guy commenting in it who appears to be my size (or maybe sliiiightly bigger) and he is claiming 7 x 6. It's ridiculous. I am trying not to wallow in self-pity, but at the same time I just want to live in reality.

Also: I would like to add that I am speaking about white guys. I think size differ between races, and it's dishonest to think that it doesn't. But this thread pertains strictly to white guys.

Not very many smaller hung men doing porn. Even the least hung actor available would likely be at least average plus.

I think its a case of worldwide averages and confirmation bias. As far as averages the Western world has larger and taller men hence probably why the anecdotal incidences of above average penises are abound. The smaller and shorter populaces of the rest of the world are going to have proportionally smaller dicks, which contributes to the average.
As far as confirmation bias, guys with larger than average penises are either going to be more forthcoming with them, or less concerned about them being exposed.

According to various studies, the majority of men have a penis between 13 and 16 cm (ie approximately between 5" and 6"). This implies that 14-15 cm are the average measurements (often indicated approximately 5.5") and that the remaining and larger dimensions are theoretically less widespread. I do not know if these data are real, however we must not make the mistake of confusing those results (which are and remain "medical type") with our size, preferences or worse with porn. I give an example of what I mean.

I have a penis that measures almost 14 cm (5.5"), while being average, I consider it a little unsatisfactory (even if I can't say small). I don't like penises that are too big, but according to my "tastes" I consider nice a penis if it is at least 15 cm (6"). Personally, moreover, I believe that the ideal measures are 16-17 cm (ie approximately 6.5" or slightly more). I made this digression to show how these opinions of mine are quite contrasting with the medical research data: I would have a penis that for them is of average size, but I see it small and I would prefer it had a size, according to the studies, not very widespread.

Not to mention the porn. In that world, given the "job", it is obvious that the actors (men or boys) are selected on the basis of the length of their penises. Therefore, they will mostly recruit those who have a large penis: I have never seen a porn actor with a penis smaller than 6 inches. Indeed, the majority has a penis between 6.5 and 7". On the other hand, doing the opposite would be really counterproductive (almost like hiring men who, for example, have a premature ejaculation).

In short, one thing is the medical research on the subject (probably also accurate), another are personal preferences or social beliefs...

Properly measured with a ruler? There is perspective effect so that when you look down at your own it looks smaller than when you look at someone else's so if you have been estimated their size by how much bigger they seem to be than your own, you are almost certainly overestimating.

Other people have mentioned that those recruited for porn are going to tend to be bigger than average but even people who post their own pictures on the net are likely to be the ones who think they have something to boast about, i.e. self-selection.

There may be a possibility that penises are longer now than they were if there is any relation to height as people have gradually got taller over time. I am not sure I would assume that, though, and thus dismiss a proper medical study and instead work with anecdotal evidence and internet claims, pictures or video. We would need a more recent, proper study to know if there has been any change over time.

If this is true, how do you explain looking in a mirror and still being small and smaller than others?

Very well said.

I don't believe 5 to 6 is truly the average either. I have seen more dicks than I'd like to admit, in so many different "organic" ways. I truly believe the average of average men (not overweight men) is between 6 and 7 inches. This seems far more realistic and in line with many erections (not pre-screened) that I've seen. I have a five inch erection myself and there is no way this is an average penis. I just cannot buy that.

I have also bottomed and find that five inches isn't really pleasurable...it's kind of limited in positions, etc as well. Whereas between 6 and 7 just isn't.

I have seen two black male performers in my entire life in porn with less than 6 inches, one being Cuba V. Demoan and the other's name I never knew. Neither of them were very popular and they both spend PLENTY of time eating pussy in their scenes before having sex.

Let's not forget the numerous studies where women not knowing the measurement classify 5 inches as small and unsatisfying or less satisfying. Classify 6 as average and satisfying, 7 as average to big and very satisfying, 8 as large and very satisfying.

Whether it was pictures or blue prosthetics or blind feelings with hands... women consistently classify 6-7 as average to big but less then 6 as small.

I have to laugh at the frequent questions about size, averages, being "hung" or not. We're all different. Some of us are below average in height, some are taller. Some have different body structures. Some, due to genetics, are likely to be thin while others struggle to keep from being overweight. Dick size is simply genetics, right? Some are blessed with monster cocks and others with average and even others with small dicks. And, yes, some of the smaller or even average guys might have success "growing" their dicks by pumping, using extending devices, etc. Most of us will never go down that road. Why? Because in the end, we're pretty happy with our cocks.

In my 6+ decades on the planet, my dick has provided countless hours of enjoyment, brief "thrills", and has rarely failed to perform. I'm average (I think), measuring 6" when erect. In my 43 years of fucking my wife, I've "bottomed" on her cervix many times which always seems to cause her a little discomfort. So, If I were an inch or two longer, going to Pound Town regularly would be out of the question as her cervix would be continuously assaulted.

I recommend accepting what your genetics and the good Lord has provided. Enjoy every moment while you can. My wife has never said, "gee, I wish you were bigger" so she's either too polite or too inexperienced to care and compare. At any rate, I can guarantee that at the breakfast table this morning, she'll motion me over to her chair, pull down my pajama pants, and take my cock in her mouth to say, "good morning".

Can't beat that!

That’s because you are not small. Easy to be accepting when the “good lord” did bless you. Not easy to do so when the “good lord” does not bless you equally and life has to be a struggle.

I agree with this 100 percent. I deal with a lot of that mentality when talking with other black men. They say work with what you got and shrug their shoulders, but don't understand they actually HAVE something to work WITH and you see the results in my "love life" (on life support and unconscious) compared to theirs.

Most likely with the down turn in testosterone and increase in estrogen in men i'm sure the average size will shrink.. Even since a lot of men are morbidly obese...

so average size stalled out as well as life expectancy...

Height and penis size isnt linked. I know more shorter guys with big dicks than tall ones

Many verified measuring sites and non-self measured studies provide an average caucasian size of 6.6 x 5.3.

But "scientific" agreement puts the average at 5.5 x 4.5.
With self measured you cant rule out they haven't lied or measured incorrectly unless they provided pictures of the measuring. The down side with the scientific measuring is you might not get as hard. I know I wouldn't. Even alone the second I get the tape measure I start to droop.

Well a bigger dick is not always a bed of roses. I've been turned down for sex or gotten no repeat sex as they felt it was more pain than pleasure. A girl i used to see said my dick is one of the reasons she's breaking up with me, saying she prefers regular dicks and another down side is I often get rubbish blow jobs because I'm constantly getting teeth and girls complaining of jaw ache. Its like the average girl cant handle it and cant be bothered to learn when there are plenty of regular dicks out there. Only when I was swinging did I find women that wanted and knew how to handle a larger dick. And quickies are out of the question.

I've been to to JO clubs many times and have seen a lot of dicks and the vast majority are within that 5 - 6 inch range. So those studies are about right.

There were a few huge dicks and a few tiny ones....but they were the outliers.
