It's a common claim by the anti gun brigade that pro gun ownership positions is supposedly a "compensating for small dick" mentality, when the actual data seems to indicate the exact opposite.What is the point here?
I've been bring attention to "Steel Peener Substitutes" for years. Could also be called "Wat Tyler Syndrome" here on Lit.I don't think everyone who owns a gun has a small penis.
Literotica gun owners on the PB? Oh hell yeah. Tiny dicks, and angry about them. 100% compensation.
That's not what the article is about.Owning guns doesn’t make me angry or wanting an arsenal.
Someone didn't read the article... gun owners aren't the ones who are dissatisfied...Options for curing dissatisfaction:
1. Buy a big gun. Makes a loud noise. Gun nuts tend to have hearing damage.
2. Sex change. Penis gone.
3. Do some exercises or something so you can see what you got under your belly.
Gun Ownership
Tables 3 to 5 feature the regression models for gun ownership. The odds ratios reported in Tables 3 and 4 describe the difference in the expected odds of personally owning a gun or a military-style rifle for each one-unit change in a predictor. The incidence rate ratios (IRR) reported in Table 5 are interpreted as the difference in the expected count of total guns owned for each one-unit change in a predictor. According to Model 2 of Tables 3 and 4, the odds of owning a gun (any gun or a military-style rifle) are lower for men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises. In fact, each one-unit increase in penis size dissatisfaction reduces the odds of owning any gun by 11% (OR = 0.89, p < .05) and the odds of owning a military-style rifle by 20% (OR = .80, p < .01). According to Model 2 of Table 5, each one-unit increase in penis size dissatisfaction also reduces the expected count of total guns owned by 11% (IRR = 0.89, p < .01). Across outcomes, we failed to observe any associations between penis enlargement and gun ownership.
Conclusion
Our analyses show that men who are less dissatisfied with the size of their penises are more likely to own guns than other men.
Of course not. Ammosexual snowflakes get triggered immediately. Really reinforces the article's premise.BAWAHAHA! Did ANY of you read through the whole article? Or did you just read the heading, look at the charts and ASSUME you knew what it said?
Comshaw
My comment wasn't about "snowflakes" getting triggered. It was about people seeing what they want too instead of what is. It happens a lot around these parts. And they come from both sides of the political spectrum. Yes, it is a both-sides comment because truth is truth no matter how you try to dress it up as something else.Of course not. Ammosexual snowflakes get triggered immediately. Really reinforces the article's premise.![]()
Mine was.My comment wasn't about "snowflakes" getting triggered.
Mine was also about this.It was about people seeing what they want too instead of what is.
I thought it was big-ass pickup trucks and Penis size correlated inversely? What about guy who mount huge smokestack exhaust pipes on pickup trucks, now that has got to be correlated, right?From the "Tell Us Something We Don't Know" department.
Size Matters? Penis Dissatisfaction and Gun Ownership in America
Introduction
Are men with smaller penises more likely to personally own guns than men with larger penises? Although there is no direct empirical evidence linking penis size with personal gun ownership, speculation has been widespread in popular culture. For example, in 2012, a FOX 31 headline suggested that “Assault rifle owners have ‘tiny penises’” (Holden, 2012). In 2016, an editorial in HuffPost claimed that “the compulsion to own firearms stems from an unconscious need to compensate for a deep-seated psychological sense of insecurity and inadequacy in terms of power: in males, specifically for having a small or smaller-than-desired penis” (Blumenfeld, 2016). In 2017, The Truth About Guns blog declared that a “Study Confirms Gun Owners Have Smaller Penises” (Zimmerman, 2017). This satirical “study” reported that states with a higher percentage of gun ownership (Kalesan et al., 2016) tended to exhibit lower rates of online purchases of larger-sized condoms (Roy, 2013). In this article, we formally test, for the first time, whether men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are in fact more likely to personally own guns.
Data
For this investigation, we use data from the 2023 Masculinity, Sexual Health, and Politics (MSHAP) survey. The primary purpose of the MSHAP survey is to empirically document the intersection of masculinity, sexual health, and politics in the United States. More specifically, the MSHAP survey is based on a national probability sample of 2,024 community-dwelling men aged 18 and over living in the United States. Respondents were sampled from the National Opinion Research Center’s (NORC) AmeriSpeak panel, which is representative of households from all 50 states and the District of Columbia (AmeriSpeak, 2022). Sampled respondents were invited to complete an online survey in English between March 30, 2023 and April 12, 2023. The data collection process yielded a weighted cumulative response rate of 4.7%. The weighted cumulative response rate, which considers all panel recruitment and retention rates, is the overall survey response rate that accounts for survey outcomes in all response stages, including the panel recruitment rate, panel retention rate, and survey completion rate. It is weighted to account for the sample design and differential inclusion probabilities of sample members. Our cumulative response rate is within the range (4%–5%) typically reported by high-quality general population surveys (see Pew Research Center, 2021). The multistage probability sample resulted in a margin of error of ±3.08% and an average design effect of 2.00. Margin of error is defined as half the width of the 95% confidence interval for a proportion estimate of 50% adjusted for design effect. A figure of ±3.08% is therefore the largest margin of error possible for all estimated percentages based on the study sample. A margin of error of ±3.08% at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3.08% of the true population value 95 times. A margin of error of 3.00 is considered very good (Cui, 2002). The average design effect is the variance under the complex design divided by the variance under a simple random sampling design of the same sample size. The design effect is variable-specific and the reported value is the average design effect calculated for a set of key survey variables. Design effects account for deviations from simple random sampling with a 100% response rate. A design effect of 2.00 is very good because it means that the variance is only about twice as large as would be expected with simple random sampling (Kish, 1965). The median self-administered web-based survey lasted approximately 10 minutes. All respondents were offered the cash equivalent of $3.00 for completing the survey. The survey was reviewed and approved by the institutional review boards at NORC and the University of Texas at San Antonio (IRB #: FY22-23-196). Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
Penis Size Dissatisfaction
We measure penis size dissatisfaction in two ways. To assess penis size dissatisfaction, respondents were asked to indicate their overall level of dissatisfaction with the size of their penis when fully erect (1 = completely satisfied to 7 = completely dissatisfied) (Veale et al., 2014). To assess experiences with penis enlargement, respondents were asked to indicate whether they had ever used any methods for penis enlargement, such as penis pumps, penis weights, stretching exercises, supplements, creams, or surgeries (1 = ever used any methods of penis enlargement; 0 = never used any methods of penis enlargement).
Potential Correlates of Penis Size Dissatisfaction
While penis size dissatisfaction has been linked with penis appearance dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with one’s sex life, and greater body mass (Lever et al., 2006; Sharp et al., 2022; Veale et al., 2014; Veale, Miles, Bramley, et al., 2015; Veale, Miles, Read, et al., 2015), penis size dissatisfaction is inconsistently associated with or unrelated to number of sex partners and psychological distress (Lee, 1996; Sharp et al., 2022). Following this research, we assess the construct validity of our focal predictor variables by testing several potential correlates of penis size dissatisfaction. We measure penis appearance dissatisfaction by asking respondents to indicate their overall level of satisfaction with the appearance of their penis when fully erect (1 = completely satisfied to 7 = completely dissatisfied) (Veale et al., 2014). To measure sex life dissatisfaction, we asked respondents to indicate their level of dissatisfaction with their overall sex life (1 = dissatisfied; 0 = neither satisfied or dissatisfied or satisfied). Number of sex partners was measured in the past 12 months (top-coded 0 to 3 or more). Obesity was measured with self-reports of height and weight (body mass index ≥30, weight (lb)/(self-reported height [in])2 × 703). Our measurement of overall mental health status asked respondents to rate their general mental health (1 = poor to 5 = excellent) (Ahmad et al., 2014). Masculinity was indicated by self-rated manliness (1 = not at all “manly” to 10 = very “manly”). Finally, we measured social desirability as a summed index of 7 items (e.g., “I am always courteous, even to people who are disagreeable.” “I sometimes feel resentful when I don’t get my way.”) (Fischer & Fick, 1993).
No, they think they do."We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes, including any gun."
So, they are saying, despite the double speak of using "dissatisfied" is that non-gun owners have smaller penises.
There's an Instagram account called "Ask an Autopsy Technician".Options for curing dissatisfaction:
1. Buy a big gun. Makes a loud noise. Gun nuts tend to have hearing damage.
2. Sex change. Penis gone.
3. Do some exercises or something so you can see what you got under your belly.
Obligatory red-pill responses (Wat Tyler has the morning off):Studies show that societies without all those guns don't kill people at the drop of a hat.
