Go to sites like measuremycock.com and you'll see most when measured correctly are aroun 5 1/2 or so. I'm sure the really small
Guys are too ashamed to get measured so I'm betting on 5 - 5 1/2 to be the norm.
I'm sure you're probably right Spoiler. Not arguing your point. Just saying my experiences are different. Of course, everybody might disagree, that's fine, but as I'm not a troll & am being honest, I'm simply stating what I know. A couple of powerful 'facts' in my life have convinced me of this:
a. Flaccid, I'm noticeably smaller than both my brothers, under all weather conditions.
b. In the military, where I spent 3 months in close confinement with 30+ guys, the standing joke was that I bunked next to the largest flaccid guy as I was the smallest. Granted, flaccid size ranges drastically, but you'd expect a pretty accurate impression to form over 3 months among guys, who probably look at dicks more than women do!
c. My first serious girlfriend was a cock lover who had slept with 15+ guys by her mid-twenties. Obviously my size didn't bother her that much but we had honest conversations (because my insecurity leads to broaching a subject rather than shying away from it, and no, I'm not into SPH). She told me at 5.1in, I was the smallest she'd been with, and also the smallest she'd seen flaccid, although she insisted it didn't matter. And she said it was notably smaller, as in the other guys were all just below the 6 mark, and then up from there with a few being huge & she felt the difference. I have no reason to believe she'd lie to me. The information was offered at my request, not volunteered, & it was given sensitively, not in a gleeful or boastful way.
c. My current long-term gf & I had the chat several years into our relationship. All her exes were bigger, one of them was 'huge' & she said she enjoyed him most because he was the biggest. She said from her estimations (and she's better than many girls at measurement, it's part of her career!), I was the only one was very obviously under 5.5 - she thought I was less than 5 because I only get to 5 when I'm rock hard. This info affected me badly - I hadn't expected the 'bigger is better' bit - and she immediately softened the story, but I'm more at peace with it now. Don't ask if you don't want to know!
d. Among my group of friends, who have played sports and seen each other naked, I'm the smallest flaccid. That's also a standing joke, but not a nasty one. Again, I concede flaccid sizes vary a lot & there are growers & showers, but these are guys I've known for more than 20 years. A couple of them are literally massive flaccid (although, interestingly, it hasn't necessarily 'won' them more or prettier girls).
Those are the 'facts' (admittedly just my anecdotes) that have led me to believe what I believe. Again, I concede that that may very well probably be wrong, and medical studies show that it probably is. But I can't just turn a blind-eye to my life experiences & say it never happened & that I should follow the 'average' figure because everybody else does.
Lastly, let me tell you, that if the average really is 5.1 inches, I'd be the happiest guy here! I just personally don't believe that it is, and that average is 6 or slightly upwards of.
