Umm actually the standard deviation for penis size is .8" and average is less than 6" bpel. So 2 standard deviations is 7.5" bpel odd and that is well inside the 95%, more like 98%.

Earlier you said that you don't believe that 85% was the actual metric because you thought that was quite rare and that a woman would have mentioned something because of this rarity. When we use the 1 out of 6 metric you then seem to suggest that it isn't as impressive. It is the same number of people regardless of which way you look at it, but you seem to be thinking of it less positively now because of the 1/6 rather than 85%. If the average on an exam was 50% and I got an 85% I would be damn happy. I remember that happened in Organic chemistry. I got a 78% on the first exam and I was shocked, I thought I did awful. Then we got to class and he told us the average was 57% and i was stoked. After scaling I got an A- when I originally thought I got a C+.

Also, 1/20 is the 95th percentile. In penis size terms that is an 8" cock. In terms of male height that 6'3" and 5'10" for female height (you think a 5'10" female isn't very tall?). In terms of intelligence that is an IQ of 130. In terms of average income in the USA that is $100,000. The 95th percentile is very good. Only 5 people out of 100 are better at any metric.

Yea im nuts. Now 1/1000 I would probably consider somewhat uncommon. One in twenty guys having 8". I just dont like those odds regardless of the percentile.

5.8 + (.8*2) = 7.4" (95th percentile)

You are correct. I was thinking 8.2" and that is three standard devations:
5.8 + (.8*3) = 8.2"

8.2" is 99.7 percentile.

That is what happens when I rush the math in my head and make something similar to an assumption. Good catch.

Your basic concept was correct Bygg.

Dammit, I need explanations of all these stats!

Or you can close your eyes and stop thinking of other mens penis sizes

Dammit, I need explanations of all these stats!

Haha, which stats need to be clarified? I think this might be it: (note: I just spent way too much time explaining this so I hope it is useful and what you, and others, were looking for).

Most studies indicate the average penis size is roughly 5.8" BPEL. Most studies also find that the standard deviation (average variation in the population; how far apart certain measurements are from the average; it shows how consistent the measurements are) in terms of length are around 0.8 inches. Girth seems to have a standard deviation of 0.3 inches while length is around 0.8 inches. This means that girth does not vary as much as length does; girth is relatively consistent from person to person whereas length can vary quite a bit.

Because the average BPEL is 5.8" and the standard deviation from that average is 0.8" we can use these two number two determine the entire bell curve--which is the symmetrical curve of a normal distribution; half of the population is on one side of the average and half of the population is on the other side of the average. In a bell curve, most of the population fits nicely around the average. About 68% of people fit in the first standard deviation (explained below). 95% of people cluster around two standard deviations from the average and about 99.7% of the population is within three standard deviations. Thus, if you get out to the third standard deviation and you are very unique (this for the high end and low end of the bell curve). Here are the percentages of the bell curve out to four standard deviations:

.1%---2.1%--13.6%--34.4%-34.4%--13.6%---2.1%---.1%
Add all of those together and you get 100% of the population (actually 100.4 because I rounded numbers). Notice: 34.4% of the population is below the average and 34.4% is about the average. This is one standard deviation. about 68% of the population falls with in one standard deviation from the average.

To determine the bell curve we use this formula:

Average +/- (standard deviation X number of deviations)
..5.8.....+/- .........0.8..........X ..........1..............
This would give us the range of one standard deviation from the average. We multiply .8x1 and get .8. Then we add AND subtract .8 from 5.8" in order to get the first standard deviation: 5.8-.8 = 5.0 and 5.8 + .8 = 6.6. Thus, we see that the first standard deviation and 68% of the population falls between 5.0 inches and 6.6 inches.

If some is sitting at exactly 6.6" the we add all the previous percentages up to determine what percentile they are in:
.1% + 2.1% + 13.6% + 34.4% + 34.4% = 84.6%

Thus, someone who has a 6.6" penis is roughly in the 85th percentile (84.6th percentile if we want to get really technical). I don't know how to determine how many people are out walking around other than the good ole "guess and check" method. 1 divided by 6 (1/6) = .167. Subtract that number from 1 and we get: 1-.167: .833 and multiply by 100 and we get 83% or the 83rd percentile. While 83 isn't exactly equal to 85 it is reasonable close. Thus, we can say roughly 1 out of every 6 men on average have a penis size that is 6.6 inches or bigger.

ok, I'm not going to read all the replies to this thread, BUT, I'm wondering why she's bragging about how many partners she's had?, If I had anything NEAR that many guys I SURE wouldn't tell some man I'm trying to hook up with. AND, That many people?, I'd be more afraid of STD's with this person than what the guys here are talking about. (just my thoughts, carry-on, men) :-)

[kimo696 Member Find all posts View Profile Close kimo696]

Sadly they do Exist though... very stupid of them...
Yes as a matter of fact i got pretty paranoid for a while of STD s to the extent that i did test both of us... and we both were ok
(-ve)...
but i guess if you had a huge number of partners you shouldn't disagree on testing... me myself i had a lot of partners and whenever asked to get a test, i'd happily agree... to be sure myself, it's my health after all

I Guess if he/she argued about something like this, it's an indication of their being worried they have something themselves!

Yet if a guy had 100 women no one would think less of him!!

That's because if a guy walked into a bar and yelled, "who wants to fuck tonight?" He wouldn't have a line up.

Here are my thoughts on the so called "double standard" that a guy is a pimp if he bangs 50 different girls and a girl is a slut if she bangs 50 different guys.

It makes sense that the guy in that scenario gets more credit b/c for a guy to bang 50 different chicks, he usually has to have a lot going for him, be a smooth talker, and have a lot of charisma. For a girl to bang 50 different guys, she could conceivably do it in 50 days by going to any club and asking guys if they want to have sex and it probably would never take more than 3 guys before she got a yes. It is simply a fact of modern sexuality that it is much more difficult for a guy to secure casual sex than it is for a girl.

However I won't think less of the girl b/c she likes having sex with a lot of guys and I would never call a girl a slut or whore b/c she likes sex. Sex is a whole lot of fun and pretty much everyone likes having a lot of it or wishes they were having a lot of it. Any guy who perpetuates the myth that a girl is a slut if she sleeps around is a complete moron and is just cockblocking guys everywhere. That stupid myth is part of the reason why girls are so hesitant about casual sex in the first place, so please don't perpetuate it and maybe someday we can get to the point where it's acceptable for both guys and girls to have healthy, active sex lives without being labeled.

[kimo696 Member Find all posts View Profile Close kimo696]

True Said....

I wouldn't call her Slut... Unless agreed upon & only in bed loool... but i wouldn't think less of her anyways... & no they don't call a man who had over 50 a pimp, they call him a male whore !!! i've had this problem...

I wouldn't think less of a girl who had a lot of casual sex... but i wouldn't marry her either !!! maybe i got fear of committment issues but if a girl had casual sex, casual is so much better for us... the problem is with the girls who don't understand casual and just like to complicate things... as well as with those who had casual all their lives and now they wanna settle down!! (while any man who had more than 50 will change his whole idea about marriage & maybe monogamy as well !!)

thats just how i see it ! maybe it's only me after all!

Great theory but it probably would not work out that way.

We can see it now the guys who sleep around are typically tall, muscular, confident types or rich. That covers about 10% of the population. If the world was based solely on casual sex only those 10% of guys would be getting laid.
I am not one of those 10% therefore I will perpetuate this myth until the day I die and then some to make sure any sons, grandsons etc. I have are able to attract a woman and pass on my genes.

P.S I pulled the 10% out of my ass but it gets the point across.
