I am 100% italian, and live in Italy. I really do not know how this myth bore (i posted a thread about it): as far as ive seen, we are average here.
Being straight i have not seen many hard tools: obviously mine and other two (i masturbated with two firends), and i was the biggest, one being small (i think) and one having my lenght but much less girth.
In locker rooms i saw several penises, and all looked smaller than me except one.
The survey has two limits: small basis, and little statistical difference between ethnic groups.
Anyway, who said we Italians are an ethnic group? Just come over here: we have all hair colours, from red to black, we are short at 1m65, and tall at 2m and over, we can have fair skin and tanned skin, blue or black eyes.
This is because our land has been invaded by dozens of armies and people, in the past: from Moors to Normans, Germans, Frenchmen and Spaniards, Turks and Slavic people. In addition, we had waves of immigration in the Middle Age (so their descendants are Italians, have Italian surnames and so on): Greeks, Catalans, Albanians, Jews....
To conclude: I WISH this myth was true (for a sort of national pride) but i do not hink so.
