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 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...

Actually being 'in the middle' is the meaning of average!
You replying 6 years to late but average is not the middle in can be but I'm a set of numbers higher valves on research end will charge the results. The average is the mean if you want them middle that would be the median

It's because people don't really equate true measurements to what a dick size actually looks/feels like. E.g., if you were to ask a girl how big a guy's dick was they fucked last night, she would say, "OMG, he was HUGE! He was probably like 8 or 9"!" But honestly, he was probably more like a girthy 6.5 - 7.5. Most women just don't equate true dick size to actual quantifiable measurements.

So, when someone says, "he was only 5 inches," he was probably in reality more like 4 or 4.5", but because estimates are always so off, and people (especially women) always assign a larger number to a dick, she thought he "was only 5 inches."
