I've created a volume percentile chart out of the data of the Lifestyle Condoms survey.
It can give you an idea, where you stand in approx volume.
We all know that the total volume is what you see or feel, and not only lenght or girth, but the combination of those 2.
The data of the Lifestyle survey for girth is a little bit skewed, but mainly in the low range, so the chart will show only the percentile for the average and bigger ranges.
Note also for the volume it's just an indication, a penis is not a cylinder - and a circumference of a penis isn't a circle.


How to use this table :
- Definitions :
Micro volume as -3sd from corrected median ( not on the chart )
Small volume as -1sd upto -3sd ( on the chart in light yellow or less than 1/6, so -15.8655%)
Average volume from -1sd upto +1sd ( in green = 2/3 from 15.8655% to 84.1345% )
Big volume from +1sd upto +3sd ( in yellow, less than 1on6 from 84.1345% upto 99.8651% )
Excessive volume +3sd ( +99.8651% or less than 1 on 741 )

- Measuring technique :
Lenght :
We are going to use bonepressed an non bone pressed lenght.
Standing up, full erected, holding the penis as much as horizontal (parallel to the floor), measuring on top from bone to tip.
One measurement BPL, with as much pessure to the bone, one without any pressure (only the visible part)
Girth :
Midshaft and at the base.
Put a string midshaft around the penis, and measure the string from the begin/end point with a ruler.
Same for the base, don't include any part of your fat pad or balls!
Don't calculate your girth with the diameter.
Measure as correctly as possible, don't round up.

- Reference :
Use the lowest values as the minimum volume and the highest for the maximum volume.

- Example :
My BPL is 176mm - Non bone is 172mm ( I've practical no fat pad )
My Base Girth is 154mm - Midshaft 147mm
So my max values are 176mmx153mm or 6"93x6"06
My min values 172mmx147mm or 6"77x5"79
I look in the table and take the value just below
6"93x6"06 in the table 6"75x6"00 : max volume at 95.3686%
6"77x5"79 in the table 6"75x5"75 : min volume at 91.6376%

- How to interprete the data of the chart? :
The chart gives only a volume distribution, no indication that lenght or girth comes in that percentile.
Green : Average volume, ( light green low average - dark green high average )
Yellow : Big volume
Red : Excessive volume
Well in my example in volume at least 91.6376% of the men are lower in volume.
And at least 100%-95.3686%=4.6314% are certainly bigger or 100/4.6314 = 1 on 21
So you must not take the closest value in the table, but the value just below. ( 6"15/16 -> 6"75 )
If a value is not available, you take the value below.
Please send any comments, and put your Min and Max dimensions and the founded percentile of volume.
Than I can check how we on LPSG correlate with the lifestyle survey, I need at least 33 data.

Note : only for posters with at least 1 pic of their erected penis in their gallery.( best standing up, with no hands holding it )
Only to clear out some extra-ordinary claims.

PS : I'm laying for the 3th week in hospital with 2 broken leggs, due to a motorcycle accident. Time is on my hand...
Thanks in advance for killing my time.

You were the weird kid at the school science fairs, weren't you? :boggled:
No, just nothing else to do, and I found that survey at least doubtable.
Certainly when I see no exact correlation in lenght and girth.
And many are referring to that survey as the best around on the internet.
The girth numbers don't match...

And welcome, I haven't seen you around.

I have not measured recently, but I remember my measurements from a year or two ago. As I am only turning 23 this year, I am unsure if this will make much of a difference.

Minimum Values: 6.50" by 4.35"

Maximum Values: 6.75" by 4.50"

I guess that makes me about average. Surprise surprise. I find the length works in my favor...especially since I know how to use it.
 
Thanks for posting, Smaccoms.

Your values according to the lifestyle survey puts you in average, like 68% of all men (more than 2 on 3).
Volume indicates :
- there are certainly 27.8871% of all men less in volume
- and also 56.3914% ( a bit more than 1 on 2 ) bigger in volume.
 
Where did you find the image (chart) you attached? From Lifestyle directly?
No chart founded. I said that I created the chart according the data of the lifestyle survey. It's not my data, it's just an analysis, and a statistical exercise on volume. I've some raw data of that survey, except for the data of the girths. (I wanted to have the individual data LenghtxGirth)
 
I'll contribute.

Minimums - 7.00" x 5.00" = 71.6892%
Maximums (non pumped) - 7.25" x 5.25" = 84.7837%

It is interesting to see how a small change in size can create a fairly large jump in ranking.

Certainly. And in the high range a difference f.e. between 98% and 99% is 1 on 2.
98% = 1 on 50
99%= 1 on 100

Therefore also a 4 decimal number in my chart; as I got a mail from it-why is that needed? Well, the last number equals 1 in a million, but how higher the percentile goes...

My stats. 6.25" x 5.5" NBP
6.4" x 5.5" BP
Yep, you seems to have an overall girth with pratical no fat-pad.
So minimal and maximal are the same at 79.7888% volume.
So 4 on 5 are less in volume, and 1 on 5 more.
Lifestyle coloured you average but in volume high-average.

Thanks for participating, GBF64. (strange nick, but I presume that 64 is your birthmark in 1964 )

Regular: 7 3/4" long, 6 1/2" around (thicker at the base, hitting about 7" around)

Max: 8" long, 6 1/2ish" around (thickens to about 7 1/4" at the bottom inch or 2)

So 99.74% to 99.97%? Whoa
 
I have an issue with the accuracy of the chart itself. Calculating volume using the girth is faulty and presumes a uniform cross-section for every individual. Some dicks are more round in cross-section and some are flatter and more ovoid. As the cross-section tends toward flat, the volume decreases. Basic geometry guys!!

The only really accurate way to measure volume is probably by immersing your dick in some fluid and measuring the displacement.

Oh my god - is this ridiculously obsessive or what?

Completely right.
A penis is cylindrical, but not a cylinder, like I said in the opening post.
There are methods today to calculate the volume out of a 3D image.
So that would be nice, a digital camera with a few pics send to your computer, creating a 3D-image with all the coordinates, and then voila, exact volume.

This chart is just an indication, I try to give girth less importance - by using only 98% of the girth.
And to begin with : the data of the Lifestyle Condoms is inaccurate in the lower ranges and that has also an influence on the distribution.

But hey, this is not the word of God, it's just fun to see where you "approx" stand in volume if every circumference was a perfect circle.
