Stumbled upon a survey and got to say must have been a lot of growers about! In 1942, Schonfeld and Bebe looked at the normal variability of penile size, both length and girth of the penis from birth to maturity. With respect to penile length, measurements were recorded only in the stretched state, however they looked at penile girth in both the erect and flaccid conditions. They found that the average stretched length was approximately 13.1 cm (13.26 for 61 men aged 17 years, 13.11 for 71 men aged 18-19 years and 13.02 for 54 men aged 20-25 years). In addition they found the average girth of the flaccid penis (location of measurement not mentioned) to be 8.5 cm, and the average girth of the erect penis to be 15.8 cm.[7]

Seems quite improbable that an average flaccid girth of 8.5 cm can jump to 15.8 average erect girth!!

There must be made a mistake with the girth, because I doubt the average joe is walking around with 6.2' girth.

It would probably make the average girth on LPSG look kinda small!Yea i would agree there has been a mistake. Here is the link if anyones interested Medscape: Medscape Access

15.8 cm girth means more than 5 cm diameter. This is the size of my hand at the wrist. It is not impossible, but definitely not the average and definitely can't be the average girth of an average 13.1 cm in length!

I have plenty shame,because is commune see porn actors with 2 inches diameter same as the wrist wide or the 3 smallest finger wide
2 inches is same as 5 cms wide, mine is only
3,5 cms wide or diameter,
do not more than 4,4 circumference.
And we are talking of 6 inches of circumference or 2 inches diameter
a great difference

15.8cm average girth is BS. Look, my wife has been an RN for over 20 years so she has seen a lot of cocks, all ages, soft and hard. No one has any secrets in the hospital, lol.
I have a solid, decent sized cock at 17.2 cm long and 15.2cm girth when fully hard. Sure, there are cocks a lot bigger than mine (a lot of them are on this site) but she says that she has hardly ever seen one bigger than mine and most are dramatically smaller. I'm pretty sure she isn't just making me feel good because I don't have a fragile ego so there must be some sort of reporting error there, IMO.

My girth is slightly larger than that average (6.5") and too many women have told me they've never seen one as thick as that before and a few have wondered if it would fit. Sex is problematical because if it takes more than about 10 minutes we both end up sore.

There's probably a typo there somewhere.

Nurses don't usually see a lot of erect cocks....as far as in hospital ward beds that is :)

I'd be a little concerned if my wife was seeing a lot of erect cocks where she was employed, well curious anyway :) My first wife was a registered nurse. You are correct, they see many flacid cocks, not very many erect ones though.

Lets just say that nurses see enough to have a decent statistical sample.
:)
Plus, I'm not really worried about because its not like she comes home and says "I wish you had a cock like the one I saw today". Rather its "so many men have these little pencil dicks, I'm so lucky".
Good enough for me LOL

Does anyone have actual access to the original 1942 study? I mean 15.8 cm average girth, that's worth looking into to see if it's true, instead of just assuming it's a typo, my curiosity is definitely aroused

It's almost certainly a typo, or an error in the study's method/reporting. 6.2" average girth is huge lol. Unless since the 50s there's been a massive decrease in average penis girth. :tongue:

It's too bad you have to pay so much money to get access to these studies. The study is from 1942, you would think after a certain amount of time it would become public domain

I don;t know how it works excatly but it seems likely that the medscape website or ournal or whatever it is somehow obtained copyright to the study when it began hosting it so the work isn;t in the public domain.

Normally the limit is 50 or 70 years after it's published I think.

Well 1942 is 70 years ago. Are Beebe or Schonfeld still alive? Let's try to track them down lol
