Topic	Average penis size has increased over last 30 years doctors call it 'concerning'

They did not even account correctly for different measurement techniques. In the past studies were more commonly done Non-Bone-Pressed (measuring from the skin junction), but modern studies are typically done Bone-Pressed (pushing the ruler into the fat pad). For example for the 90s they used the 5.1" NBP average of Wessels et al 1996, but the 6.2" BP average it reported is in line with recent studies. They claim that they only use NBP studies, but especially in the recent studies most were done BP. So the average penis size didn't necessarily change significantly. The way we measure penises in studies did. Basically, this is junk, lol. (oh damnit, honestly there was no pun intended there) Yeah. Science journalism is trash. Especially from the NYPost. Do your own research and assume there is always something wrong with the story or the study. --- 'Cause you know that I have no fear, ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear. I'm gonna be a powerful man. Red blood running down the broken sand. <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:971633452] in Average pe...
