How big is the average man's penis and how does one measure that ?

I'm not feeling inadequate or anything (look at my name...) I'm just curious. I'm not here to boast either.

But really, how big is the average man ? It seems to me I see lots of pictures and the average man seems to be, ummm... bigger than average ?

To me it looks like the average man is 8 inches long. Or is the camera distorting things ?

Ladies... tell us, how big is the average man ?

Is the true measure of a penis it's physical dimensions or it's impact on society... I say ask not how your penis can be measured but how your penis measures up!
 
It's actually LESS than 6 inches... Check out the second post in the FAQ thread.
 
just measure it in Centimeters... The numbers sound more impressive and it's fun to watch drunk women try to convert it to Inches :D :devil:
 
"It's actually LESS than 6 inches... Check out the second post in the FAQ thread."

Which says: "According to the editors of "Men's Health", the average penis is 5.03" in length and 5.14" in circumference."

First of all, I apologize for not reading the "FAQ before Posting" on this subject.

Having said that, I don't believe the number that Men's Health is quoting. So maybe this is a worthwhile post.

I'd swear by the pictures one sees that Mr. Average is larger than 5 inches. Might that number be obtained when measured flacid ?
 
just what pictures are you talking about here, foot? porn stars? cuz, you know, real life isn't like porn.

Like some of the guys' avatars.

Truthfully, I was feeling small. So I measured. I mean my gf used to call me footlong. But yet...

"Might that number be obtained when measured flacid ?"

Another thing... what man would ever admit his penis was small, even in a survey ? There must be some pretty honest men out there or 5 inches included their exaggerations.

right, cuz i'm sure those aren't photoshopped from stills of a porn flick at all.

seriously: let it go, man.

I'm just curious. Where else could I possibly ask this question and get a serious response ? Lit rocks !

IF those are unaltered pics of the members' cocks, consider this: Are smaller guys just as likely as larger ones to advertise/be proud of their size, or are they likely to focus on something else to avoid possible ridicule?

Would you have chosen a cock-centric username if you were small-average? "fiveinchish/averagecock/smallguy" just don't have the same [what guys consider to be positive] impact, right?

In my experience, 5-6 inches is average. For me, small-average length and width also preferable for oral and anal (and too big can be an issue with vaginal, too). In the end, as long as I can feel it, sex is pleasureable, and I have a skilled partner (or at least one who can/wants to learn), I could care less.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!! Is it animal cruelty to beat horses when they're already dead?

Ok. Here's a serious reponse:

--Women don't like men whose self-esteem is wrapped up in their cocks, reagrdless of how that's manifested. It's petty, immature, and selfish, and it makes them look like whining little pussy bitches.

--Porn (and that includes sites like Lit, to an extent) doesn't reflect reality. There's a reason why the average Joe doesn't have a porn career.

--Nobody fucking cares if you have a big dick if you can't use your brain to please your partner, since it ain't all about you, anyway (see #1).

--For some women cervix-pounding is very, very painful. Imagine getting kicked in the balls continuously every time you had sex. That would suck, wouldn't it?

*edit: I voted less than five inches, just to fuck with the results. :)

Just answer the question people ! I didn't say big was better (or worse) or anything along those lines. All I am wondering is how big is the average man ? Leave it at that. Call it a healthy curiosity.

Do a search. It's been done once or twice before. This is, after all, a "porn board." But it's okay if you're obsessed with cock. :)

how many "average men" post pictures of their dicks online? How many "average men" even participate on a forum online, let alone an erotic one? Out of all the people in the world, what percentage even have internet access?
 
"But it's okay if you're obsessed with cock."

Well, I'm not... and if you need to know, I'm a breast man... and not necessarily big ones either. Size isn't everything.
