Why do people always think average penis size is 6 inches long?

Why does anyone make a big deal out of it anyway. Be fascinated with the person and the size won't make a bit of difference.

Not to be rude, but why post that? This is a dick site, so naturally, people are going to ask these types of questions. Which are completely appropriate.

Supposing the distribution of penis size is symetrical about a mean, 68% of all penises lie within one satndard deviation of this mean, and 95% lie within two standard deviations. The average of the three studies I have seen comes out at a mean of 5.75 ins( 14.61 cms) so roughly two thirds of penises will be between about 5 and about 61/2 in "round" figures (12.5 and 16.7 cms). Only 2.5 % of so ( i.e. 2 or 3 in 100) will be over 6.58 in ( 16.71 cm) and fewer than 1 in 100 will be over 7.4 ( 18.81cm) . But as I said in my previous post to this forum, that it still a good many chaps with penises over 71/2 when you consider a whole population of adult males in a town , a district , a state or a country and anyone who cruises in saunas etc will surely come across such big cocks sooner or later just as one does on this site. .
I agree, but just a 'math correction':

If two third will be between 5 and 6.5" then not only 2.5% will be over 6.58" but (100-68)/2=16% roughly.
And 2.5% ( +2 sd ) will be over 7.4" and not fewer than 1 on 100.

The math on this one still shocks me. I've come to accept I might be on the larger side, but I still find it hard to believe the real world numbers (and assuming bone-pressed, I'm bigger than 97.5% @ 7.75"). Same can be said for flaccid stats as well, given if the numbers are right, my size soft is potentially bigger than the average erect (5.25" hanging, 6.25" if I press into the fat pad)??

This relative "shock" as you put it, is a result of coming to the realization of what an over-average/big/huge dick actually is in real inches. For decades there has been bullshit about 12,13,14, etc. from the porn industry, outlandish claims and wild exaggerations (ie. John Holmes being 13 inches). So when someone heard something like 8 and a half or 9 or 9 and a half, they think "Ok, well that's big, but it's not that big" because of the complete horseshit pop culture, the porn industry and society as a whole has built up. Anyone can roll their eyes at this if they wish, but I firmly believe that as a whole, penis size is one of the most wildly misunderstood aspects of human culture.

I work in porn and you are 100% correct.

When the fuck did I ever say they don't exist? Of course they exist. I'm arguing over the frequency and accurate measurement of them. Go ahead and suck and fuck some cock because you clearly aren't capable of debating at a reasonable intellectual level.
I think Bill was simply pointing out that the neuroses of hetero men don't affect him because he can go out and get a big penis any time he wants.

He's just another gay/bi fantasist who's here to ogle at big cock. Nothing wrong with that, but when they start to try and argue with people who come here for the statistical/reality POV, it gets severely irritating. Stay in your lane.

I shouldn't speak for him and he can speak for himself, but I think you were reading too much into his response.

No, he stated he "knew" the guys he "sucked and fucked" were 7-8 inches merely because he "sucked and fucked" them. This is often the situation with people's anecdotes of sexual encounters. Everyone has a story that they relay in their head, but hardly anyone has proof. Sucking, fucking, screwing, seeing at the gym, etc. is not proof of any numerical value, and that's what he was trying to suggest, as many gay/bi (or even straight) fantasists try to do.

Eh, why worry?

Six inches is generally within standard deviation of the statistical average, so what's the problem with calling six inches average?
Because average means just that...average. AKA the mean... You could say 6 inches is within the 'normal' range but you can't say it's average man...

Eh, I happen to think we straight guys are far more neurotic about that shit than bisexual or gay men. :p

Uh, lol, being neurotic is one thing, exaggerating and stating fantastical measurements is another. The latter is veritably more prevalent in the gay community. At least with regards to this site.

I don't think this site is representative. Selection bias. :p

But that's what I'm saying, lol. A lot of gay men come on this site and just blindly throw out over-exaggerated estimations of penis size because they either did it subconsciously or large penises are part of their fetish fantasies. Don't get me wrong, straight men and women absolutely do this as well, but seems like a lot of gay/bi men do it for the purpose of sexual gratification as opposed to misunderstanding/being unaware.
