The tiniest guy I ever knew was italian, 3.5x2 when hard--but very cute. Pissed off, but cute. The biggest guy was irish (12x8 hard).

Smallest I've ever had was an Italian too (however Claudio Granami is one monstrous exception to that rule), and the largest (Caucasian) was an Englishman who was OH MY GOD huge.

Maybe italians had a lot of testosterone.

Do you know that the Official Italian Governmental stance is that there are no Italian homosexuals?

WTF was that bar I got smashed in last year in Padova?? What were all those rooms with labyrinths and black lights and naked men being serviced speaking in that perfectly lovely tongue?:confused:

Ah. Must have been dreaming.

Si, esatto; purtroppo stavo sognando.

I kid you not. It IS the official stance. That should give you a rough idea where the basis of that myth comes from.:rolleyes:

I've never heard of this Italian myth. I've heard Cicilian men boast of their endowments, but always attributing it specifically to Cicilians, rather than to all Italians. In America, and particularly in literature, it is the passion of Italian lovers that is most romanticized, much moreso than size.

and there are myths within the myths

a couple of women pals swear that blonde blue eyed northern Italian men have been the largest they've ever encountered

of course they were referring in each case to the only two blonde Italian lovers they had, so the coincidence was remarkable enough (to them) to joke that they looked forward testing the hypothesis further

im half italian as well, (dont ask whats the other half.. read the nickname) and im hung. im not sure if italians are all hung. statistically speaking i havent seen that many italians. from what ive seen they were all above average but still i dont know.. what i can definitely say is that british guys are definitely smaller as as an average. :biggrin1:
what about dutch people? they are hands down the taller race in the planet. maybe they are the most hung aswell?

My two cents as a (rather hung) Italian: while I don't think that the average is much different here, I suspect that more men know about the PE techniques, thru male comraderie or as a secret passed from father to son. This never happened to me, but I've always been selfish, far from the Italian stereotype.

Italians do not have larger than average European penises. Their pre Christian culture worshipped big cocks. It is just that Italians like talking about their dicks and admire them. Who else would adore pricks like Burlosconi and Mussolini - the later still has cult following there.

The only real difference between mainland Southern Italians (Neapolitans for example) and Sicilians is that the latter are on an Island. Remember most Northern Italians (anyone living south of Rome) consider all Southern Italians "negri" or "blacks". Like it or not, they see themselves that differently.

In truth with the boot of Italy protruding so obviously into the Mediterranean it's logical and historically accurate to assume the Siciliani (Sicilians) and the Napolitani (Neapolitans) are descended from the same people. Both areas were immensely involved in ancient trade with North Africa, the East, the Phoenicians, etc. and in fact the Vikings made their way down (though infrequently) through the Straights of Gibraltar and account for the few red-headed Southern Italians/ Sicilians today.

When someone says "I'm NOT Italian, I'm SICILIAN" today they're simply distinguishing themselves from the mainland Italian. Hereditarilly there's no substantive difference in the genetic mix.

The Sicilians from an Italian standpoint (again I'm only recounting my experience) are considered the poor cousins to mainland Italians and of course the legends surrounding that island and its inclination to corruption are lore.

The early works of the German hedonist/libertine Baron Wilhelm Von Gloeden (1856-1931) show Sicilian young men often nude. These boys, dressed in neo-Classical settings, look predominantly Arab by genetics as do many of today's residents. Additionally Von Gloeden's photogrphs show mostly small to average endowments.

The Baron's work was groundbreaking in its day. Mussolini destroyed many of his negatives (roughly one third) during the 1930s and 1940s but much remains of his work. And indeed many descendants of Von Gloeden's boys today speak of "mio nonno, modello per il barone" (my grandfather a model for the Baron) with great pride. Oddly, there's no apparent prejudice for the German aristocrat who was openly paying for these boys to model for him and have sex with him.
