Can't say that I put much faith into what the studies claim, with them at the same time also claiming enlargement is impossible. All I know is that I've put in alot of time to make my dick bigger, and to me it still looks like a fairly average penis compared with others. I started about 3 flaccid girth and 4.9 erect girth, am now 5 flaccid girth and 6 erect girth. Most penises I've ever seen have always been larger than mine both flaccid and erect so to me, I feel I was just small before and am now average.

At the end of the day it's all the more motivation for me to continue on for more.

I mean there are still quite a lot of 6inches girth tho, at 0.5% or 0.3% of total population(men), there still around 15million...

Damn you fat penis men! Damn you to hell! I can't imagine how someone like turtle is packing 6" in girth and feeling average. Especially coming from a starting point of 4.9.....

You were a huge grower before, so it makes sense that you thought you were smaller than average before. 3 inches flaccid girth is below the average flaccid girth in most, if not all, of the studies I've seen. But 4.9 erect girth is larger than the average erect girth in all but the Lifestyles study.

So, I can see how you thought you were smaller than average before(even though you weren't), but now you are well above average in flaccid girth. Do you really see a lot of guys who look bigger than 5 inches in flaccid girth to you? I think I've seen quite a few guys who were 4.25 - 4.5 flaccid girth, but 5 inches flaccid has to be very rare.

Actually girth and length are not unrelated , that is a guy that is longer than average has a likehood of being thicker than average . However I have found it hard to establish the degree of relatedness , certainly if a guy is 8" he is likely to be more than 5" girth. Perhaps we should comb the surveys to find average girth of guys 8" bpel??
I'm a bit over 8 inches BPEL and around 5 inches of girth, I really want to get my girth gains.

are these polls always using BPEL ? i mean we all assume here, that they do... but i never saw an actual research paper for ANY penis size study with explicitly declaring their measurement technique... we ussualy see the end numbers but id like to read more about the "technique"...

before anyone starts to yell that its logical they use BPEL i repeat: does anybody have ACTUAL statement from Lifestyle Condoms or other reserach teams what their measurement technique was ? i mean written statement...

thanks everybody

You may have been watching too much porn. A 6 inch girth is well above average. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just wrong. You should be proud of what you've got, anyone here will tell you the same.

Starting at 6.25x4.75 and now at 7.25x4.9-5.0, I will second benschmidt. I am workin my dong off trying to get to 5.5 girth and I feel thin @ anything below 5...

I don't even care about hitting 8x6, and I don't care about getting ANY length gains... but this damn girth issue is getting the best of me sometimes.

I know I'm considered average girth but I certainly don't feel like it, especially when most (men and women alike) claim it's the girth that matters. Boohoo.

I've never seen anything from Ansell's about the measuring technique used in the Cancun study. Many people have searched, but I don't know of anyone who has found anything published.

The German study was BPEL. Someone at Thunder's got the full article, and it was clear that it was BPEL. There's a thread over there that has an attachment with the full text of that study in it, but you have to be a member to see the attachments.

Here's another that was Bone Pressed, but they only did BPEL in the group that had ED. In the non-ED group, they only did BPFL and BPSFL.

Here's a link to the free full text of the article:
International Journal of Impotence Research - Penile measurements in normal adult Jordanians and in patients with erectile dysfunction

Here's an excerpt from the article that explains how they measured:

"A measuring tape was used to measure the length, and the midshaft circumference of the penis. The starting point was on the dorsal aspect of the penis at its base at the pubic–penile skin junction, pushing the prepubic fat pad against the pubic bone as described by Wessels et al,[SUP]3[/SUP] while the tip of the penis was the other reference point."

Pretty much all porn videos, even amateurs, college rules, orgies, etc, show guys with what seem to be bigger than average penis - at least from where i look. So I wonder if the real average isn't higher than said. Also I noted that men seem to be able to last a long time before ponr.

When people masturbate with porn, often they do it quickly. This trains your mind that you need to cum quick, so when the real thing comes along, the same thing happens. It's the same principle on why edging helps you last longer.

I've lost count of the number of times I've typed this, but once more, for the record: isn't it likely that, even in amateur porn, guys who are bigger than average are more likely to want to show off for the camera?

Explain the statistical chances of this happening. My wife has been with 8 men. We are swingers and we get pics from many couples. I would say that we have received upward of 50 dick shots from random men. Ready for this? I am the smallest she's ever had and I am the smallest out of all the pictures we have seen. It really makes me question these studies. Of course, an easy explanation is people involved in this lifestyle are naturally larger and is one of the reasons they gravitate to it. Still very strange. Not some, most, or a large percentage are larger than me. All! I don't get it.?.?.?

All sets of data has anomalies. Such a small set isn't possible to draw any conclusions from. And the point about larger men wanting to show off still applies to swingers. Also, if you are tall, shorter men in a photo will appear to have proportionately larger dicks, even if they are the same size or even a bit smaller. At the end of the day, the stats you have posted are greater than the large majority of men, irregardless of what you perceive to be the case. Be happy, as you've got good reason to be.

These studies really make me sceptical tbh.

I hope they are true as I am currently at around 5.5-5.75 EG which would mean I have, by these averages, a massive girth.

Really does make me wonder though because when I look at my erect penis I actually think it looks very avaerage sized, and I for sure dont think it looks well above average.

I think I might try get the girth I have up to around 6.5 inches. What would the reaction to that be from girls, would that be too big, or just right...

i believe now more than before these researches are pretty exact...

i made an excel table comparing

research
1) Mr. Average - The true story about penis size, from a site that isn't trying to sell you anything.

pegym polls
2) https://www.pegym.com/forums/poll-forum/4248-initial-erect-girth-inches.html
3) https://www.pegym.com/forums/poll-forum/14683-pre-pe-erect-length.html
4) https://www.pegym.com/forums/poll-forum/4668-what-your-current-erect-girth.html
5) https://www.pegym.com/forums/poll-forum/14685-present-bpel-poll.html

although the results dont align exactly they basically show very similar trends and averages with graph peaks roughly in same regions... i would say that PEGYM pre-PE stats pretty much validate Mr.Average estimations and trends about general male population... GOOD ENOUGH TO SEE THE STUDY WAS DONE CORRECTLY AND USING SIMILAR MEASUREMENTS LIKE PEGYM POLLS...

even the PEGYM post-PE stats dont show any drastical skewing of data (like 40% 8.5'' dicks or something really suspicious)... yeah guys got bigger dicks post-PE but the growths are quite predictable and consistent with initial sizes pre-PE (most guys are only capable of gaining +0.5 inch to +1.0 inch from the initial pre-PE size) and that is more or less showing up if you compare pre-PE and post-PE...

when i marked my own size into the graphs from sources 1-5 i was consistently scoring in the same percentual ranks across all graphs... i mean its not exact but its got very similar "trend" compared to the general public...

Another quick question.

Do you measure the base or mid-shaft or both.

As I have differing girths from them as base is just over 6 inches whereas midshaft is 5.75 inches, so a clear difference. Should I be focusing on increasing both parts, or should I be trying to get midshaft to be the same as the base or should base alays be a little bigger....
