https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19902190/average-male-girth/

A team of researchers has cracked the code, and they did it by analyzing data from 17 previous papers that measured the penises of 15,521 men.

Turns out, the average flaccid penis is 3.61 inches long, while the average erect penis is 5.16 inches in length, according to a study published in the British Journal of International Urology. In terms of girth, those numbers averaged 3.66 inches and 4.59 inches, respectively. In other words, the average erect girth is slightly smaller than the average cucumber, says consulting urologist at Kings College London and study author Gordon Muir, MD.

And if those digits came as a bit of a shock, its because heterosexual men tend to vastly overestimate whats considered normal. Men will usually say that eight inches is normal, explains Muir. Thats usually because theyve only ever seen another erect penis in a porn film, he says. So while having an eight-inch penis may seem common, its well above average.

Still, whether a penis is the size of a tube of toothpaste or a cucumber, it should have no bearing on how well it performs between the sheets.

Remember reading a Maxim article (yes I did read those) about how women are TERRIBLE at guessing peen size and that they overestimate all the time.

It is a maxim article so grain of salt but lol ever since then I feel much more confident in my erect size

If you get above 6", it's going to move into painful territory for a lot of women. Getting hit in the cervix results in debilitating cramps not unlike getting hit in the balls.

True, most women have no idea the length of their partner's member. I've only been accused of one woman of having a large D. And she just happened to be one who was obsessed with me. If you please her, she's going to assume it's big.

I remember watching a video of a porn star holding up toys for size comparison and giving her opinion on each. IIRC she called 8 inches too big, 10 inches a no-go for her, and 12 inches a crime against humanity.

I've asked this question many times:
What is the universal measurement method for dicks? Let's stop pretending like there is one. Some motherfuckers out here measuring all the way back from their taint. That doesn't even get into the rules you'd need to agree upon for measuring a flaccid penis. Those are insanely more complex.

Also, why would anyone bother to measure the size of a flaccid penis? It's a waste of time that no one has any interest in. They could've spent that time creating a universal dick measuring device but instead they chose to measure the most useless of all forms of dick. This is like measuring base Goku's power level when he can go SSB.

It's like these dick scientists never even handled their own, let alone hundreds of other dicks needed for a study like this. I don't trust these findings at all.

Remember, 5 inches is the AVERAGE penis size.

That means half of all men have penises bigger than 5 inches, and the other have smaller than 5 inches.

5.16 might be the modal average but iirc more people have a penis bigger than 5.16 than smaller.

However, its safe to say that gay men have a better idea of what the average penis size is compared to heterosexual men, and may not be too concerned if a partner is, well, simply average.
I'm skeptical of that.

"Bone-pressed" on the top side. Basically, the ruler would be on top of the D, pressed in towards the pubic bone a bit. Random dudes measuring themselves might do it from the side or bottom to make it sound longer, but AFAIK that's the standard for studies.
