i label myself a pencil dick because of the appearance as well as statistically being on the lower end of the girth pole. but when does a penis start moving out of pencil range into average and average into above average etc.?

my own guess is
pencil - anything 4.5 and below
average - 4.5 - 5.1
above average - 5.1 to 5.4
and thick - 5.5 and above


but would like answers from those who are actually getting penetrated (ladies, ts, bi/bottoms)

I think the average is more like 5-5.5 and above average is 5.5-6.5 and thick is 6.5+

Somebody will come along with the stats soon enough

Honestly, this site is the only place where I have been considered "thin." I mean, I'm 5.5 around, except for a little above 6 around at the base. My dick is a little over 2 inches wide...but yea, in the real world I've been told that I'm huge, long, and thick many times.

I think average is in the 5" range, over 5.5 I would call thick. slim would be under 4.5" Real life, not internet inches

In Internet inches it's:
6" - average
7" - above average
8" - the average guy who people actually have sex with
9" - bigger than average
whatever you are - small!

my own guess is
pencil - anything 5.0 and below
average - 5.1 - 5.5
above average - 5.6 to 6.25
and thick - 6.25 and above

The Cancún LifeStyles study found that "the average girth is 4.972 inches (12.63cm), with the majority ranging between 4.7 inches (12cm) and 5.1 inches (13cm)."

"Standard deviation was 0.508 inches (1.29cm) or with 53.33% of the effective sample measuring between 4.725 inches (12cm) and 5.118 inches (13cm)."

"The results do show that the difference between small penises, average penis size and large penises is not so great as folklore might have us believe."

It's not as though there's a strong consensus on the topic, though. Another study claims average erect circumference is "from 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches (8.8 cm to 10 cm)."

When I'm penetrating a butt, both men and women have commented at the intensity of the thickness. Being Canadian, in MM the shaft is 44mm, 5.44 inches. But right at the base it gets pretty close to 6 inches in girth. The fun part is the base thickness doesn't show until it deep inside, then it's too late!

When I'm bottoming I consider anything under 6 inch girth to be small, one could fairly accuse me of being a pig.....

Correct.
Average range : 4.45" - 5.43" (2 on 3 ~ 68%) [113mm-138mm]
Thin : below 4.45" (1 on 6)
Thick : above 5.43" (1 on 6)

According to Kinsey, 70% of men (at least those studied) measured less than 5" in circumference and 94% under 6".
In general many studies show most men are below 5" in circumference, or between 4 and 5 inches (41%) and 24% at 5", 48% between 5" and 6" and only 4% at 6" with only 1% over 6" in circumference.
So however you want to classify them form there........Some measure below 4" likely thin, between 4" and 5" quite common (average if you like) and 5" above average with 6" and above quite rare.

Huh, I hear this a lot, yet I almost never get down all the way to the base. I guess that's the tradeoff you get when you chase after women with huge butts :)

this is an interesting question because some would say thick is 5.5 and really thick is 6+ while others say 5.5 is above average and thick starts at 6/ i tend to go with the former, 5.5 is where thick begins, 6+ is very thick.

5-5.5 above average

anything under could be considered either average or below

At 4.5" around I consider myself right on the edge of being considered a pencil dick. My girlfriend was surprised that I thought that. She has seen more than a few in her days and thought, while lean, it definitely wasn't a pencil dick!

So I'm hoping pencil is more likely under 4.25" in girth.

I think a dick starts being "thick" above 5.25" around and very thick when it hits the 6" mark.

All of this is measured mid shaft... none of this measured at the base

i think TECHNICALLY pencil probably starts around 4.25 but in everyday life, a lot of people consider below 5 "skinny" sadly

Eons ago, I was 6.5 long x 4.5 and considered myself a pencil dick.

Once I found out about PE and how to gain girth, the 5.25 inch girth level felt girthy to myself and my wife.

My last deep throat was at 5.5 inch mid girth.

My last intercourse was at 7.0 mid girth.

HJ's and lip service still work for me.

How can there be an objective measure for "pencil dick"? It varies according to the experience of the observer. For a size queen, anything below the worldwide average of 4.59" is a pencil dick. A size queen for REAL big dick would think anything below 5.45" (2 SDs above average) would be a pencil dick. For an average guy, then maybe 2 standard deviations below average (down to 3.73") would be a pencil dick. A true pencil is what, about a circumference of about 1.2"? WTF? Why even ask the question? So, what if your circumference is 4", and your lady loves you just the way you are, and wants to have sex with you? Is this not a wonderful thing? Dude, if you are 4" circumference, you will never win a dick measuring contest. So what? So, don't enter the contest, and instead, be who you are an be glad.
