Using The Tallest Man In The World To Estimate The Biggest Dick

[cordwainer42]

An interesting thought accord to me, if penis size varies the same amount that height does, does that mean we could use the height of the tallest man in the world to estimate how big we should expect the biggest dick in the world to be?

So, the first question is: how much taller is the tallest man than the average man? According to Wikipedia, the tallest currently living man is 251 cm tall, and this site lists the global average height as 171 cm, so the tallest man in the world is about 146.8% the average height.

To figure out how that translates into dick size, we'd take the average penis size and multiply it by 1.468.

If we use Wikipedia's listed average size (13.12 cm x 11.66 cm) we might therefore expect the largest penis to be 19.3cm x 17.1cm (7.5" x 6.7"). Of course, if we start with a different average size we get different results:

* LifeStyles: 14.93cm x 12.63cm --> 21.9cm x 18.5cm (8.6" x 7.3")
* calcSD average: 13.96cm x 11.57cm --> 20.5cm x 17cm (8.1" x 6.7")
* Wessells et al. 1996: 15.74cm x 12.30cm --> 23.1cm x 18.1cm (9.1" x 7.1")

Unless we use the Wessells data as a baseline, I'd wager that these numbers are all lower than people here would expect for biggest in the world. Indeed, penises 8" in length and 7" in girth seem pretty well documented on this website.

From this I think we might consider one or more of the following:

* The biggest penis is smaller than we might think
* The average penis is bigger than the Wikipedia average
* Penis might vary more than height, such that the largest penis is more than 147% bigger than the average.

If we used the height of the tallest man who ever lived (died in 1940) we would use a multiplier of 159% which would give us the following:

* wikipedia: 20.9cm x 18.5cm (8.2" x 7.3")
* LifeStyles: 23.7cm x 20.1cm (9.3" x 7.9")
* Wessells: 25 x 19.6cm (9.9" x 7.7")

How are you arriving at the largest possible penis by applying the increase factor to the average penis size? That makes no sense. What you're doing is predicting what the average penis size would be, if the average height was increased to that of the tallest known person.

Of course, we all know that penis size does not correlate very well to height. I'm 6'3" and hung like a chipmunk. One of the tallest guys I ever saw naked, a (white) basketball player in school, was at least 6'6" with a flaccid cock not much longer than mine and even skinnier. Our cocks looked even smaller because of our height. Even standard issue on a guy eight-foot tall would look really tiny (but maybe hot!).

It doesn't? He got his factor by comparing the average male height to the tallest man.

I.e.

Avg Height x 1.468 = Tallest dude

Avg Dick Len x 1.468 = Longest dick

That seems like a legitimate loose comparison...

He's not really doing that.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer at times. After all, I am just a dumb jock. But correct me if I'm wrong. He took the average penis size and multiplied it by a tallest height/average height factor. To my way of thinking, that implies he's assuming penis size relates to height. Otherwise, he just woulda said the tallest man would have one of the average-sized penises he referenced.

It was with that in mind that I made my reply. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have no trouble with that. My wife proves me wrong every day. I never thought a gorgeous woman like her would marry a tall guy like me with a distinctly non-correlative-sized penis.

It's a legitimate comparison if the goal is predicting the average dick length if the average height was increased by 146.8%. All of the numbers he used were averages (means). In other words he was actually determining what the new average penis length would be if the average height was increased by 146.8%.

If he wants to predict the largest possible penis based on heightenis size, then he needs to know the largest penis found in the studies used to determine the average penis.

Then, if the average height is increased by x%, he can increase the largest found penis length by that same factor.

All of this (his idea) is predicated on there being an actual close correlation between height and erect length. This has not been established, but in the BJUI meta-analysis, Veale, et al indicated that there might be one, and that further study was needed.

In the CalcSD tables, the longest among studies was 8.27", with 5.5" being the mean. Using his 146.8% increase, the largest would be 12.14". As you can see in his OP, his method has to be wrong....his predicted new largest is 8.1", which is smaller than what CalcSD actually found with a real guy.

He’s not correlating someone tall to having big penis however. He’s just taking average height and multiplying it to the tallest man in the world and doing the same with penis. That doesn’t mean the tallest man has the biggest penis however.

No, but he is correlating height with penis size. All studies have shown only a very slight correlation, if any. That's all I was saying.

However, I wasn't meaning to be a killjoy. Just pointing out a fact. And to be fair, cordwainer42 wasn't maintaining that there was a correlation. He was supposing if there were a correlation.

And he's right. It is an interesting mind game. I'll admit when I've seen extremely tall men, I wonder the same thing. "If his cock is in proportion. . . "

I apologize. I hate it when people derail someone's great thread and, I suppose, unintentionally, I did just that. One of the dangers of being a total narcissist is occasionally being a total asshole.

It's all good. The exercise is an interesting use of data and statistics. Well....as interesting as data and statistics can be...

So if an average height guy with a 9" cock was scaled up to the tallest guy's height, he'd have a 13" cock?
I wonder if such a combination exists.

 

[HorseHung40's]

Physical height and penis size are not correlated.

 

[TinyPrincess]

Well, actually height is the only thing weakly correlated to penile size. Noses, hands, race, nationality, feet and whatever aren't.

I have always been fascinated with tall men say over 6'5" plus and what they are hanging. When I see a tall guy at the gym, I aways try to find a way to cop a peek. So far, I've seen everything from average and above. I'm speaking of white guys...the tall black guys seem to be a little bigger. Now, the old tall men seem to have long nut sacks and whIle hung, make their dicks look smaller. There's this one old fellow who, in the sauna sits naked and crosses his legs. Don't know how he does it.
