Starting size

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

Hi

I noticed something that puzzles me

When I review scientific studies of penis sizes, i see the average is somewhere around 5-6" BPEL.
Being much over or much under that is unlikely. since there is a rather small standard deviation.

When reading through the forums, it seems the big majority (80%+) of the guys here have a STARTING bpel BEFORE PE of over 6", 6" being a rather small STARTING LENGTH BEFORE PE.

- are the studies lies? of course not.
- Are people here being not honest? maybe.
- Are people here really mostly much above the average in society?


Could someone come up with a reasonable explanation?


Thanks.

I have noticed the exact same thing. I like to think my starting stats are very generic average size and id expect to see majority of members on here with similar which is true but I do see A LOT of guys starting with like 7bpel etc. I think the reason for this is because guys with bigger sizes are more comfortable broadcasting there size on the form or in their signature.

I guess more of the smaller side dont have their starting size in their signature. Or your mind is playing tricks on you and only remembers the big guys size..

I haven't really thought about it, but it makes sense. It's the same in all different sorts of situations: the bigger the dick, the more likely it is the owner would talk about it more openly. Or rather vice versa maybe: rather not talk about it when it is small.

Also, quite a few people attempt jelqing and all sorts of things just to try it out and might end up noticing a difference after a while. Quite a few people on here didn't bother measuring at first and thus their starting point is either a guess or simply the first time they measured (after having done some exercising already).

A third option is, and this is quite a stretch I believe, that we are still men and 'mine is bigger than yours' is still something we do. So in terms of measuring, we would rather give ourselves the benefit of the doubt when measuring. "5.9 inches? I'll just put it down to 6 inches flat, hell I think I can even add a bit when I'm at 100% erect."
The people here obviously want to become bigger and we may fool ourselves from time to time.

According to this PE Gym poll, the most votes were for a starting size of 5-5.5". The 2nd highest answer was 4.6-4.9, and the 3rd is 4-4.5. I'd say the majority of members started with 6 or less. 1,386 members voted for 5.9" or less with just 204 voting for 6" or more.

Not true. Look at the intro threads,most starting at average or less. Average is 5.9" in a lot of studies.

You see bigger stats in sigs cos guys are less embarrassed if starting with larger than average.

Yep, what you guys said, I'm certain the average is between 5" and 6", so maybe we just notice the bigger sizes more because we look for them.

I had the same question, posted here:https://www.pegym.com/forums/success...eginnings.html

I actually started below average at 4.9" and now I'm pushing for 7" ( had a 5 month break due to hectic work), I'm currently at 6.7" x 5"

I agree with all of the above but especially with what SXEUXT said. When I originally measured in March '14, my BPEL was 6" and I know for a fact that senior year of high school I was 5.5" NBPEL since I didn't know about BPEL back then and just put the ruler on top of my penis. However, I honestly can't remember if I was measuring BPEL correctly back then so I publicly go with my 2015 Challenge "starting" measurement of 6.25" which boosts my "initial" stats... I was using a DIY TLC tugger in an extender back then to work on restoration and didn't think to take starting pictures with a ruler. If I actually gained or simply measured with a weird pelvic tilt I'll never know...

Starting last January I try to measure with heels, shoulders, and butt square against a wall for consistency.

Yeah ... I've gained almost an inch since high school without doing anything. I guess the body just keeps growing in whatever the hell way it wants to. >_O

can someone link to a poll that asks for STARTING BPEL and EG?

Thanks

Guys measure wrong and often don't let us know if they are under 6". The average is the average an you can compare yourself to it if you measure like they did in the studies.

The poll is easy to find in the poll forum... Here: Girth: https://www.pegym.com/forums/poll-fo...th-inches.html

Initial Erect Girth (In Inches)?

Pre PE Erect Length

I started at about 6 bpel and almost everyone who posted on this started near or below that. Your mind is playing tricks on you. You only notice the numbers that pop out that why

Ok so I'm not sure I believe the research stats are BPEL. I know there has been plenty of discussion about this and I don't want to open that can of worms again, but.... When ever I watch porn, and it rarely, maybe once a month, I always google Amatuer porn. You'd think that once in awhile I'd find a guy or two my size or smaller, nope! Always bigger than me, and I started 5.5 BPEL and now 6.25, I'm above average right? Sure I am.
