Best "Average Size" Poll I've Seen

... interestingly, your post points to one of the fundamental problems with a significant number of guys that come here. When you have a flawed view of what normal and average are ... and you won't accept what all of the evidence points to ... you're likely to have unrealistic and unattainable goals ... and you're never going to be happy or reach that idea of perfect.

Anorexia ... body dysmorphic disorder ... plastic surgery junkies ... it's a similar underlying pathology.

I agree with you Stumpy. I tend in this direction in other areas of my life as well. I was unhappy with a 3.98 GPA because it wasn't 4.0. Unhappy with 9% body fat, because I didn't feel I looked "shredded" enough. Now I'm a bit over 7" BPEL and right at 6" MEG and it still doesn't look big to me. Luckily I'm done with school, I've accepted the fact that under 10% body fat is great, and I've moved to a cementing/maintenance/slow growth PE routine.

One major issue is all the fantacy stuff we as men have been taught most of our lives. Porn, Penthouse Forum, movies. We hear over and over again that bigger is better, that "real men" have huge members and women love those men. Plus the only place we see erect penises is porn movies. It isn't like you actually are exposed to lots of erections for the sake of comparison. Whereas I can look around and see that I am a relatively lean guy compared to all the other men I see. So, we assume the worst. We assume that porn, penthouse form, movies and TV have some basis in fact. And that is that bigger is better.

Totally agree because I have body dysmorphia. I thought i was small at 7 x 5 and now I'm 8 x 6.25 and still think I should be bigger but for some it may never end. In my head I know i am big especially for 5' 9.5" 160 lbs but there is a constant drive and "what if" It has gotten better with my results...it's even too much for my wife a lot and the drive is still there...

I now have 6" girth. Sometimes I look down an my penis and think, "It isn't that thick". Sometimes I glance in the mirror and think, "Wow! It looks thick." It is very strange.

This is a big arguement how ever I beleive scientific arguement is wrong its not the real avg size

What makes you think that?

My brain works exactly the same way. But i'm slowly trying to change that. (well except for my junk =)

thanks, in the site that you have linked, there is , at the end of the page, a tabel with the measures and the percentile, in the table lenght, what is the method of measurement? BP or NBP or lightly BP?

It says BP.

...the only place we see erect penises is porn movies. It isn't like you actually are exposed to lots of erections for the sake of comparison.

So true.

It wasn't 'til I came here that I found out that my girth is large, and I have to accept the data that's repeatedly presented on this site. But a while back I just had to ask a f-buddy. She's an older divorced woman ... a nudist ... and very much a player.

She confirmed that I am very thick and that I get very hard (comparatively). She then said: "... but surely you knew that?". And my answer was much the same as yours. I've never seen another erection other than porn. And I'm not a locker room kinda guy but I've actually only ever seen a few flaccid penises and they are absolutely no guide as to erect size. I'm a grower myself so I'm well aware of that.

So there's quite a few factors at play ... a skewed view of the average, let alone the ideal (whatever that may mean) ... an overly critical view of ourselves ... a propensity to bullshit on the internet where most of our information is gleaned these days ... the list goes on.

Hi there,

Talking about Best "Average Size", here is a very serious one from a condom manufacturer, from a sample of 20 000 men:
TheyFit ? National Condom Day

The document can be found here: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/007...40213.docx?221

Some further explanation from the founder here: condom size and facts: New penis survey from TheyFit: One size does NOT fit all!

Average erect length (NBP): 5.1in
Average erect girth: 4.7in

I am 7.25 max ...bone pressed very firmly from the outward rounded point of my pubic bone ...measured straight out...and my girth is 5.3 to 5.4 at mid shaft and more at base.....these are exact measurements ...no exaggeration.........................all the data and personal feed back I get tells me about the same thing...that I am in the 70th, 80th or above percentile in size....but I can't seem to believe it...but I am starting to. I no longer believe I am small. Wierd

Yeah dude isnt it weird that most are smaller than us but we hardly ever get a comment related to size? I don't know what to think about that.

I think that I just didn't believe the comments that I have gotten......I believed my own thinking....no matter what anyone said or would have said - my opinion would have stayed the same....I think this forum has real value in helping people like me get a sense of reality about themselves...no matter what their size...and reality is much more important than perception.

Average erect length (NBP): 5.1in

Whoa! That's some serious girth dude. Make an elephant jealous with that thing!

I love typos.

Perception IS reality.... At Least for the person perceiving it. It is about your personal reality.

a measurement is reality....unbelief in reality is ...well...stupid.....my personal perception was wrong and stupid....reality is very comforting at times.....at least it is the same for everyone.....7 inches is 7 inches no matter whether you believe that 7 is big or not

My erect mid girth is right around 6 1/4", maybe a little under that. I am sorry, but no way in the world am I thicker than 99% of the guys out there. In our ongoing poll of average girth, out of 1140 who responded, 193 (17%) say they are 6" or more.

Errr you're talking about a poll on a website where almost everyone devotes their lives to increasing girth

If you go on the average "penis size" forum, with women, you may find 1-2 women out of 300 who have been with a guy with girth over 6 inches. Let alone 6.25

[Gravik Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Gravik]

I would say average length is close to 7"
