Ethincity stereotypes are never going to go away. So lets have fun.
The assumtion is that Asians have smallest penises and Blacks have the biggest. (false but you just can't convince people)

Given the perceptions, What is worse? To be Asian with an average size but always be percieved as small, or to be black and not live up to the stereo type by just being average?

That's kinda apples and oranges, only because it's perception versus assumption, and either can equally work for, or against, you. :tongue:

One is assumed to be small, but is average. = Surprise! :cool:
One is assumed to be large, but is average. = Disappointment :frown1:
One is perceived to be small, but is average. = Anger :mad:
One is perceived to be large, but is average. = Lucky :biggrin1:

Why do you think these stereotypes are false? While the averages are not massively different, a number of studies have Asians as typically shorter with less girth, Africans longer with more girth, and Whites somewhere in the middle. The racial differences in girth are more pronounced than the racial differences in length.

Yeah. Uh... 0 is a number right?

What studies?

What studies?

Thus, the human penis shows high species-specificity as an elaborated genital structure. Penis size also varies moderately across populations, being largest among African populations, smaller among European populations, and smallest among East Asian populations, but with substantial overlap (Miller, Geoffrey F. (1994) Evolution of the human brain through runaway sexual selection: the mind as a protean courtship device. pp. 185)

Abney (1898/1972), a 30-year specialist in genitourinary diseases} makes reference to numerous anatomical distinctions which show a similar pattern of whites being between blacks and Orientals. ... size of genitalia (Orientals smallest, blacks largest). Orientals, 4 to 5.5 in. in length and 1.25 in. in diameter; Caucasians, 5.5 to 6 in. in length and 1.5 in. in diameter; blacks, 6.25 to 7 in. in length and 2 in. in diameter." (Rushton, J.P. & Bogaert, A.F. (1987) Race differences in sexual behavior: Testing an evolutionary hypothesis. Journal Research in Personality 21(4): pp. 536-7)

By measuring erect men.

There were other studies on testes size: Asians smallest Africans biggest. Penis size and testes size differences, coupled with knowledge of primate penis size, has led to the hypothesis that penis size is related to female promiscuity over the millenia (over hundreds of thousands of years). A larger penis and more semen from larger testes has a greater chance of impregnating a promiscuous female. And there's no doubt that African society has sexual standards that are, by comparison with other societies, more promiscuous, even today.

I think that stereotypes are based partly in truth yet generally applied to a whole section of a population. Stereotypes can pigeonhole. Can wrongly define a person. Can be demeaning. Stereotyping is used as behavior modification and manipulation.

I'd rather be assumed small and turn out to be average than assumed average and turn out to be small. I hate to disappoint. :smile:


I think that stereotypes are covertly prejudiced. Disappointments are their birthright. Allow peeps that stereotype be disappointed.

So there are at least twice as much studies out there telling the opposite. In person I yet have to see a black guy being bigger than me (flaccid). And I saw quite a lot G.I.'s in sauna when I used to live in K-Town.
Guess why stereotypes are called stereotypes?

I occasionally deal with this when dating non-Black men.
Some prefer a slightly ghetto/video ho Black woman and are disappointed by my suburban breeding and politesse. Others love that I'm just a "caramel valley girl"™ :09:, and are disappointed by my n**** side.

Can't please them all, so I just try to be as genuinely myself as possible - if that means they're not getting the "full Black girl experience"™, so be it.


Fried chicken. Yes.
Watermelon. No.
Grape soda. Most definately NO.
Heheh, love the chart, Invisi. Fried CHicken and watermelon I do like. Only have had one grape soda I could tolerate, it was called Delaware Punch and they sell it in the South.
