Serious question for everyone:

[Dorset]

I don't know why there is so much passion about whether the studies underrepresent larger guys... I have no reason to think they do, but even IF they do... so what???

It only really matters to people with nothing better to think about. From reading some of the comments on this site over the years some of the members here want us to believe that all guys with big dicks hide away when it comes to penis size surveys which is why they are under represented. That's a load of crap, if I was asked by a doctor to take part I'd do it, if anything men with big dicks are over represented because of their confidence and small guys are the ones who shy away

"Lifestyles conducted an experiment, in which they had staff measure mens erect equiptment"

What was their sample group - how many men, where from, under what scientific criteria were the measured, what was the requisite hardness level? etc. etc. etc.

Oh - hang on oh - Lifestyles - I see, Lifestyles - the condom company? - They did an experiment to prove that they didn't have to bother making larger sizes because their condoms accomodate 98% of all men everywhere... I see - I see - I get the picture...

I repeat - I don't believe the 2% figure - Oh and lighten up, it wasn't meant as a personal attack, neither is this - statistics can be used to prove anything, anything at all - I'm just saying, beware of companies selling shit bringing out survey results...

Do some research online. There are many studies that corroborate the Lifestyles study. I don't mean to sound mean but you may want to educate your opinion and then put conviction behind it - It would make your argument more convincing. Until then, the average length is what it is!

I actually proved last night that some women have a fine eye for penis size, this guy asked me how big his cock was, I said 8 he replied no 7.5, I suggested he check and he's now revised his size to 8

 

[D_Coyne Toss]

Okay, we all know the average male penis is about 5.75-6".

With that in mind, I have asked hundreds of girls in my life what the biggest they've ever experience was.

They almost always answer anywhere from 9" - 10.5".

This is just not possible.

Either they are totally clueless when it comes to measuring, or they are all just lying. Or they believe their bf's who may be 8" or so and exaggerate by an inch or two.

I believe that only 2% of males are bigger than 7.5", yet all these girls have had 9-10.5 inches.

Your thoughts?

They are lucky, they pull you around, or have now eye for measurements.

One of my ex girlfriends has been with a guy I've been with, and my best friend. I've fooled around with both guys, (watch porn with my best friend, fooled around with the other one) and so did she, I'm only 8", and she said the biggest one she's ever had was 10", and I was the smallest. Girls lie.

MOOSE

 

[B_hungnate]

Hey man, guys lie and women take their word for it. I'll say it again, there are a lot of guys on this site who say they are like 9, 10, 11 inches but from their pics they look smaller than me, and I'm 8 X almost 6. And people sometimes don't believe me that I'm "only" 8X6. It's because everyone is used to everyone giving themself an extra couple inches.

[surferboy]

well, the question yer askin chicks is "what's the biggest cock you've ever seen" not "what's the most common size you've ever seen?"

 

[hotrob69]

The discussion of the bell curve and normal distribution was interesting and is based upon a random sampling. In reality, a sampling is probably not random as bigger guys would show up more and smaller guys less thus skewing the disturbution. For example if a woman checked out guys at a nude beach I'm sure she'd find many more bigger guys percentage wise than the population should be.

 

[longbeachguy]

My post wasn't unnecessarily disrespectful. The OP's was. Calling everyone liars and going on about a mystical 2%.

From here on out, I'll not be responding to your posts. It's obvious that you're the type that likes to engage in online pissing contests, something which I take great care to avoid.

I think that for reasons know only to yourself, my post struck a nerve with (and offended) you. That in itself doesn't make my post disrespectful.

The joke around the college I went to went something like:
Why do women make lousy engineers?
Because all through college they're told "this is 8 inches"

I remember seeing a special on pbs, and they mentioned that women generally don't have a good sense of visual measurement, later a Men's Health article indicated the same thing. From personal experience I know that some women (all I've ever encountered) are way off when it comes guesstimating distance, or in this case dimensions.

But really why get hung up on something she's done in the past, it really doesn't matter.

There are some optical illusions where 2 items of = length but different thicknesses are shown and people are asked to decide which is longest and usually the thinner 1 is selected .

 

[MagicTongue]

I know I'm bad at visual measurements. With that in mind, would I really be able to judge how big some dude's cock is just by looking at it? Remember, there are things that you can do to make it look bigger. A smaller guy with a slightly above average dick would look bigger than a huge guy with an average dick...

I said nothing about anything not seeming right to me..what I said is I superimposed the sigma of 0.8 onto the mean of 5.9 and the numbers make no mathematical sense whatsoever. Do it yourself and you will have to agree. I thought I made it very clear.... using a standard deviation of 0.8 inches for an erect cock normal distribution, the outermost 3 sigma limit is a cock of 8.3 inches, now if you understand that , then you obviously see that 0.8 inches does not give a meaningful result! I do not know how to make it any clearer than that . Mathematically, 0.8 does not work as a standard deviation. Not only does 1.2 work as a standard deviation, but also it provides a meaningful result. Go ahead try the math yourself and you will see the obvious error in the purported Lifestyles's numbers! Surely you know from experience that erect cocks can be larger than 8.3 inches! The math proves the case, not me, I merely did the math and the logic of the math proves the absurdity of their standard deviation. What more can I say? I can go step - by-step, but you say you already understand the statistics of Gaussian curves. I don't think we have a case of one mathematician disagreeing with another, but rather we have a case of a study perhaps quoting a number incorrectly in its results. I could work backwards and determine what the true standard deviation should be for their results, but it really does not matter to me all that much. I am confident that approximately 9 % of erect penises should be expected to be longer than 7.5 inches and that 2.27 % can be expected to exceed 8.3 inches and that 0.13 % of erect penises would be expected to be equal to or greater than 9.6 inches. Very slight variations would occur depending whether one uses 5.9 inches used by Lifestyles or the usually accepted mean of 6.0 inches for mean erect penis length.

There's nothing quite like hearing an engineer opine about the size of an erection!

 

[Gj816]

I'm just thankful I'm above average with 7.5" s

I don't really care what the other guy has as long as I can make her get off.

Your thoughts?

Wow.
With all due respect my man:
You ask a partner you are about to have sex with or just had sex with:
It realy just smacks of insecurity.
Imigine her asking you:
"So what do you think the average labia lips colour is?
Ave boob size?
Most girls in NYC are 5.234174" deep. Do you think I am too shallow?"
Really if you are only an adequate lover you would not need this validation.
Maybe accept that she cares enough about you to share her bed/innermost self with you and you want to reduce it to average?
You asked.

 

[rbi99]

Bottom line, whether a woman knows actual penis length just by looking, touching or feeling, she knows a big one from a smaller one!!! If she thinks 7 1/2" is 9 or more, she will still know 5" is smaller. So if she says you are the longest/thickest she has ever had and she thinks it might be 10", regardless of the actual size, if she is accurate that you are the longest/thickest - kudos to you.

 

[rbi99]

I'd also bet if you asked 100 guys how long x number of guys are by looking at them, how far off would the average guy be? Bet it would be considerable.

 

[W4_Hung]

imo most girls & guys dont know what an actual 9" looks like.

 

[BBB2.5]

As a patient Educator at a urologists office..... the average guys is 5 to 6.5 inches. There are bigger guys out there, might have seen one close to 8".... not saying they do not exist,they are just rare.
