The actual average length?

[Rob938984 Member Find all posts View Profile Close Rob938984]

Can any women or gay/bi men weigh in on this (or anyone else with any info or hearsay to share)? The studies (without self-measurement) have tended to give a figure of between 5 and 6 inches. That well-publicised study from a few years ago involving many thousands of men gave a figure of around 5.2 inches. But are these figures underestimates? To what extent can a study subject gain a full erection in a research setting? Do the majority of men really have a penis between 5 and 6 inches in Western countries? Any info would be much appreciated

The study that gave a bone press erect length of 5.17 is most accurate. 15000 men were measured and their dicks were erect due to injection so they were the hardest they could be.

Men lie about penis sizes and the only time guys will regularly see other guys dicks is in porn which messes with your perception of what is normal.

Very true. It's definitely a minority of men who'll say they're 5-something, despite it being the most common norm according to research.

Can you post a link about the study?

I mean if you are specifically looking for an audience attracted to men or whom have had sexual experiences with men to answer your question, I'd fall into that category and I'm gonna say that I agree with that study. I have been very surprised to find that pretty much 90% of the time I am significantly larger (not HUGE by all means...but noticeably bigger) than the guy I am with. I am about 6.5 x 6.25. I am usually longer than most guys and about 9 out of 10 times I am always thicker. I've seen my fair share of dicks both in real life and on the net and its just crazy how blown out of proportion internet dicks are compared to real life.

From the figures I've come across the BPEL average is ~5.5 inches. This is slightly larger than the average studies' figures but this could be because a good number of men who've provided me with statistics have already made some sort of length gain. This would skew the average when comparing with non-trained individuals' sizes.

Personally, I jam the ruler in to the point it's painful, so my measurements are exact as posssible.

In my youth, I worked as a bouncer for escorts and I can tell you the status quote based on ethnically groups is fairly accurate.

Interesting when I see the average length being in 5-5.5 inch range. It's interesting because the studies never tell you if it is bone pressed or not, which can make a huge difference. I would like to think the average length is much longer (5.75-6.25) but then again porn (even amateur) and online pics aren't the best things to go by.

The 2014 study involving 15.5 thousand men only accepted bone-pressed measurements by a health professional:

"Flaccid or erect length was measured from the root (pubo‐penile junction) of the penis to the tip of the glans (meatus) on the dorsal surface, where the pre‐pubic fat pad was pushed to the bone."

I still say the actual BP is like around the 5.75" from earlier studies, meaning most guys who are in shape are likely also just over 5" NBPEL. EG from those studies was also around the 4.8" (just under 5") range.

That said, since studies don't capture everyone, the real average is likely +-0.5" or so of the length figures.

wow, so the average size is 5.1 BPEL x 4.6 EG. I must be above average then.

This study was heavily criticised osite there was a long thread about it which i doubt i can find . I really don't feel up to going over it all over again In short though i would look to other studies which have similar but frationally higher results .
