Btw guys the info for girth is in the info supplied. If you look at it, the author supplies average and standard deviation for girth so just apply that. There is a bump in the stats though at the first standard deviation, so around 5.5" girth is more common than you would expect.
The Penis Guide
Penis Head Shape
Every penis head is unique, but there are some common shapes. Many penises fit very well into a particular shape category, and others seem to be a mix of two of them.
The "Standard" penis head, which you can see below, is both curved and a bit pointed. This is the shape that most people think of when they imagine the head of a penis. The head is larger at the base than at the tip, and the underside of the head is curved smoothly.
The "Triangle" head is much more pointed than the standard one. Instead of a smooth curve from the base to the tip, it has more of a straight line edge. The underside is very much like the standard head shape.
The "Knob" head is very different from the standard and the triangle. It is like one big curve from the base all the way to the tip. The tip is not pointed at all, and is more like a doorknob. The underside of the knob head is round just like the top.
The "Helmet" head is like the standard, just with more extreme curves. The base curves more sharply on the way to the tip, almost going a bit inward before bending up to the tip. The tip is more rounded than the standard, and the underside of the head is more extremely curved.
The "Bullet" head is like a knob head that has been stretched. The tip is more pointed than a knob head, but it is still more round than the standard. The underside is often very smoothly round, as well, making the whole head look like a bullet.
Penis Head Size
No matter what head shape a penis has, it can have a variety of sizes. Check out the size models below. A small head is one that is not as wide as the shaft of the penis. A normal head is one that is roughly the same width as the shaft. It can be a bit wider than the shaft or a bit more narrow. Both size differences are common.
A large head is significantly wider than the shaft. It often looks like a bulb on top of a thick stem. A mushroom head extends much beyond the width of the shaft. It is called a mushroom head because...well...it looks just like a mushroom on a stem. No matter how thick the shaft of a penis may be, a mushroom head is always much wider.

Penis Length
Penises come in a wide range of lengths. At The Penis Museum, we categorize lengths according to the chart below. We do this because we must assign some category to everything in the museum so that it can be properly organized. The sizes are just a general guideline, of course. One person may consider a 7 inch penis quite long while another person may think it is not all that long, for example.
Penis Girth (How big around)
Just like penis length, we have a system of categorizing penis girth in the museum. The chart below shows the ranges and titles for those ranges. For both the penis length and girth, the "Average" categories represent roughly 50% of all penises.
Penis General Size
Once we've categorized penis length and penis girth, we place the whole penis in a size category. The ranges for the categories are based upon the length and girth classifications. Note that there is a bit of room for variety within the size categories. In the chart, the first category of each listing is the length and the second category is the girth. There are more categories for larger penises because those length and girth categories are quite rare. Any combination of the larger measurements makes for a large size category.

Also, here's a link to another thread on size (from a different perspective): https://www.pegym.com/forums/gym/12944-penis-size-evolutionary-perspective.html
If I remember correct 5.5" is in the 90th percentile, if we base our fact on the lifestyle survey.
Edit: You're bigger than 91.92% of the guys in terms of girth if you have 5.5".
Here are my calculations for girth that I did a couple of month ago (also based on the lifestyle condom survey). Since BW posted length I don't include that..
4,25"------16,87
4,5"------34,14
4,75"------45,96
5"------70,30
5,25"------80,30
5,5"------91,92
5,75"------94,95
6"------98,89
6,25"------99,39
6,5"------99,90
So, if you have 5" girth you are bigger than 70.30% of the men in terms of girth. I think that the mean was around 4.8".
One can wonder were they measure the girth. Midshaft or the thickest part (usually the base).
5.5" is probably far more usual in terms of basegirth than midshaft. If those measurements are taken at the base, I'm in the 99.9%-ile in terms of girth. :biggrin1:

Ah yes in BATWOMAN we trust.
Great info gyrta , the lifestyles survey gives slightly lower figures than Kinsey etc,but that is explained by method. So it may be more accurate than Kinsey, which I have always had a lot of respect for.

Well, we all think were small because were mentally wired to think less of ourselves, i guess the following thread may help you put things in perspective and may give you a self esteem boost.

I just posted this on another thread, but it seems like maybe it should be here, too. Forgive the repetition, but I think a lot of you guys need to hear this.
For me, what matters is the guy -- not the size of his member. If he turns me on, treats me well, and can please me in bed, I would not care if he was on the smallish end of cock size. Why? Because I can (and have) had GREAT sex and GREAT orgasms with guys that had smallish cocks. It really, truly is all about chemistry between me and a guy, and how he uses what he has. I keep saying that over and over, but I'm afraid that most guys don't believe it.
Much more important that cock size is lovemaking technique -- patience, knowing about a lady's body and how to excite her and bring her to orgasm in different ways. EQ and self-control play into this too. I like an adventuresome lover with a sense of humor, a man who is willing to try new things to please me and to encourage me to try new things to please him. I want long, sexy lovemaking sessions where we both use our hands and mouths all over each other, and lots of oral sex (both ways). I want him to love to look at my body and stroke me, and sometimes bring me to orgasm with his fingers. When we get to intercourse, I want it to last a while and I don't want it to be in the same position every time. I want to feel passion and urgency sometimes, patience and humor at other times. That's a long list, right? And -- gasp -- cock size isn't even on it.
So -- where does cock size fit in? For me, it is something like a "bonus added" feature. If you are larger, maybe it makes some things feel a bit nicer, maybe it makes some positions easier.... and that would be great. But it is totally NOT the main thing I am shopping for in a man. Or even really on the list of essentials at all.

The size of the dingdong is more for our own psychological comfort than for anyone else, to be honest. If you're intelligent, got a good personality, know how to treat and please a woman, AND have a big dong, then what else could you possibly desire?
