the average penis size at my gym is around 1 inch

[redsamurai]

bro, you've got too many neurons firing over expectant size of penis' seen in your gym. Obviously people claim bigger than they are....it's male insecurity NUMBER 1!!! And as one of the females in an earlier post confirmed for us....beezies DO care about size. I honestly beleive that for women the cutoff is 8 inches.....anything lower and they'll be "nice" about it.....but you ain't rocking their world unless you're packing at least 8....

Many men here want to know the size of the average human penis. The aim of this post will be to provide an objective answer. A PubMed search and some Googling turned up several studies in which the penis was measured by medical personnel. In the following list, I will report averages for erect and flaccid stretched measurements. For newbies unfamiliar with the acronyms, please see the glossary. When I do not indicate BP or NBP, this is because the study abstract failed to specify such.


Group 1: Studies specifically aimed at determining average penis size

Study 1 - 80 American men:
EL (100% erection induced by drug injection) = 5.08". FSL = 4.88".
UPDATE (07/18/2005): It appears (from reading another source) that the 5.08" figure is non-bone pressed.

Study 2 - 300 men:
NBPEL = 5.88". EG (midshaft) = 4.97".
17% of men had NBPEL below 4.5" -- and this is out of men who volunteered to be measured by two nurses!

Study 3 - 3,300 Italian men:
FSL = 4.92".


Group 2: Studies in which average penis size was not the primary goal of investigation (Some guys have expressed concern that doctors fake data in penis-size studies in order to relieve men's insecurities. The following studies should not be prone to this criticism.)

Study 4 - 55 Israeli men:
BPEL (100% erection induced by drug injection) = 5.35". EG (base) = 4.29". BPFSL = 4.92".

Study 5 - 111 younger and 32 older (for whom 100% erection was induced by drug injection) German men:
EL (young men) = 5.70". EL (older men) = 5.58".

Study 6 - 104 British men:
FSL = 5.12".

Study 7 - 123 Korean men:
BPFSL = 4.21". NBPFSL = 3.78".

Study 8 (added 05/27/2005 - not included in calculations below) - 200 Turkish men, 20-22 years old:
NBPEL = 5.01".


Out of these high-quality studies, four included a measurement of erect length, the statistic that most interests men at Thunder's Place. Three of these four included direct injections of a drug into the penis to induce a 100% erection -- so their numbers can't be dismissed as too low due to measurement anxiety. The four studies reported average erect lengths ranging from 5.35" BPEL to 5.88" NBPEL (the latter number comes from college students on spring break in Cancun, who probably had small fat pads). For the three studies that did not include erect measurements, we can estimate that the erect figure would have been about 0.25" longer than the reported stretched flaccid length, judging from the differences in studies that included both FSL and EL. For these three additional studies, the average erect length can be inferred to range from 4.46" BPEL to 5.37" (might be NBP or BP).

Studies in which size is verified by a third party, therefore, have consistently turned up averages below those of self-report studies. For example, the famous Kinsey self-report survey found an average NBPEL of 6.16", while a Durex online survey showed an average of 6.4" NBPEL. In my opinion, to trust men's anonymous self-reports over the data of seven objective medical studies demonstrates penis-size paranoia -- something to which we are prone here. If we look at the objective data instead, the average erect penis length appears to be no greater than 5.5 - 6.5" BP -- and may even be smaller.

I agree with that, um....maybe he's gay and don't know it yet.....I sure wouldn't be gazing other guys' meat and wouldn't want you gazing mine....although you'd probally be talking about how small your's is instead if you saw mine.....now I'm going to walk around the gym wondering if someone's looking at my pecker...never had to worry about that before.

butt, why would you 'need to worry about it' now? what difference would it make; if yur not interested in guys and/or dick, then its easy to ignore; or, better yet, if yur hung, then take it as a compliment. You probably work out hard, have a great body, so you might as well get used to people staring; they are admiring your hard work [assuming nothing else is hard]. Relax, enjoy, its just another slice o' life.

That;s what I say, I dont really give a shit if somene checks my cock, shit its just another part of the body and its a decent size. Even if it wasnt, shit why be so insecure about it, you're not a girl right?
