Everyone here is interested in penis size, and a lot of members seem to think they are unusually small when in fact they are simply normal in size. The Relationships Forum is full of threads from guys obsessing about girls who have told them that everyone else is bigger than they are, and it seems clear that porn has skewed our ideas about what is normal and how common really large cocks are.

So.... what are "normal" stats for a guy? How common are really large penises in the general population? Thanks to a post from a long time ago by Iguana, I went back and found a link to a thread on Thunder's that covers this. Here is a great post by Priapologist that covers all this quite nicely, at least for length. To see the original and read that thread, you can go to The (statistical) Truth About Cock Size - Th***er's P**ce Free Penis Enlargement Forums

---

Gentlemen,

There seems to be some confusion about the rarity of truly big (and truly small) penises, so I did a statistical analysis for everyone. I submitted some of this information in another thread yesterday, but I felt that it bore repeating and expanding. This summary is based on the LifeStyles condoms Cancun data set:

Mean length (n=300): 5.877 inches (14.928 cm) erect (assuming bone pressed)
Standard deviation: 0.825 inches (2.096 cm)

My analysis:

Lengths at each standard deviation:

5th sd below mean: 1.752 inches
4th sd below mean: 2.577 inches
3rd sd below mean: 3.402 inches
2nd sd below mean: 4.227 inches
1st sd below mean: 5.052 inches
Mean: 5.877 inches
1st sd above mean: 6.702 inches
2nd sd above mean: 7.527 inches
3rd sd above mean: 8.352 inches
4th sd above mean: 9.177 inches
5th sd above mean: 10.00 inches

Frequency in population:

1.752 inches: 1 in 3.5 million
2.577 inches: 1 in 31,574
3.402 inches: 1 in 741
4.227 inches: 1 in 44
5.052 inches: 1 in 6
5.877 inches: 1 in 2
6.702 inches: 1 in 6
7.527 inches: 1 in 44
8.352 inches: 1 in 741
9.177 inches: 1 in 31, 574
10.00 inches: 1 in 3.5 million

Rank in population, by percentile:

1.752 inches: 0.0000003rd percentile
2.577 inches: 0.000032nd percentile
3.402 inches: 0.14th percentile
4.227 inches: 2.3rd percentile
5.052 inches: 15.9th percentile
5.877 inches: 50th percentile
6.702 inches: 84.1st percentile
7.527 inches: 97.7th percentile
8.352 inches: 99.86th percentile
9.177 inches: 99.9968th percentile
10.00 inches: 99.99997th percentile


As you can see, the truly small (less than 2.5 inches) and the truly large (greater than 9 inches) are statistically very rare individuals. Given that the adult male population of the USA is approximately 105 million, there are only about 3250 guys in the entire country who are 9.2 inches long or longer, and only 30 in the entire country who possess 10 inches or more. And they are probably all in porn. See how a few dozen guys are screwing with the heads of ‘average’ length men? Making them feel small when they really, truly are not small.

71.5 million American men fall between 5.1 and 6.7 inches, so you are in good company if you are of average length. Further, only about 17,000 American men fall into the micropenis (2.7 inches or less) category.

Hopefully you guys find this information helpful in dispelling the ‘Monster Cock on Every Block’ myth. They really are pretty damn rare.

Cheers!
Pri

NOTE: I did not do a statistical analysis on the girth data, as they were not normally distributed (they did not have a bell shape). The mean and std dev were 4.972 inches and 0.508 inches, respectively, for what it is worth.

The girth data is only skewed at the first standard deviation. So 6" bpeg is 97% roughly if you extrapolate.
There are other threads saying the same sort of thing. I tried to get some info on how related length and girth are,because for instance a long dick might be very thin and visa versa or both long and thick.
No one seems to have taken a close look at this but my research shows that there is a lot of variety.
So a very long and very thick dick is rarer still.

Guys follow the math the chances of your girl having had several guys 9 and 10"?? ,unless she was a hooker ????

It just doesn't look right to me that this is BPEL.

I mean it may well be but 5.8"? that doesn't sound right to me.

If it is thats great, makes me feel better about myself, but I've never had one woman say I've got a long dick, had a few say a thick one, never a long one. Maybe every chick I've been with is/was a hooker. Nooooooooooo!!!:eek:

I know, you guys never believe it. But that 5.8 figure doesn't surprise me at all, it matches up well with my personal experiences.

How many hard cocks have each of you guys seen up close and in person in your life? Except for our gay members, not a lot, I'll bet!

I just found this, in relation to the lifestyle study. I cant verify it as correct, but it appears to be so

MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY
The following strict criteria, was enforced by a doctor and a team of four nurses, who consistently attended each of the seven nights of this penis size research.
Measuring of Length was from the point at the base of the erect penis where the top of the penile shaft meets the pubic area to the tip of the glans (”head”). For uncircumcised men the foreskin was retracted. Measuring of Girth was at mid-shaft around the circumference of the penis when the penis was erect. Failure to gain an effective erection for measurement disqualified the volunteer from being included in the data for the calculation of average erect penis length and girth.

Interesting, but I am not quite certain about only have 30 men with 10+ inches.

G411by7 is 10 inches, so he is part of the 30 men? There are way more than 30 dudes with 10+ inch cocks in america...I've seen so many huge cocks in porn...and I know how to evaluate penis size.

but the rest of the stats sound good.

Hi Batwoman, can you do a statistical analysis on Girth also? Your post was very insightful. My guess is that the guys with 10+ length do PE ;)

Oh thank god. I thought this was another Im soo small boohoo threads I was about to lose my mind. I think many people who post these those type of threads have more of a self esteem issue than a size issue.

Always said average girth was around 4.8" with most people falling in 4.7"-5.2".

Length... sounds about right. Seen a lot of dick in my day... lol. SO yeah, 5.8" About right :D

Sorry, I didn't do the stats, just cut and pasted from the original post. Priapologist on Thunder's is the one who did the work.

Never thought I was that large, really!--until I started practicing p.e. and then joined Thunder's. That's when I realized I had taken a naturally large penis and made it even bigger. Of course, I always thought of myself as a church mouse as well, until I saw myself teaching on a video. After checking all those studies, Batwoman, what struck me as unusual is the combination of girth and length I possess. I'm a rare bird, I guess. :humble: :pimpride8lr: :D

Fluxo, you have about my dimensions. I understand that's a nice, slender cock, but would really get nicer if it got fatter. I have the very same problem :)

I think we can take it these stats are based on a none pe population.
As pe becomes more popular it will disrupt these stats, in fact it already has.
There are a number of guys who have built large peni from average ones. So take me ,started at 6.75" by 4.75" fairly average, currently over the famous 8" by 6" which is top 1%. There would be a large number of guys that have done this in the western world,possibly enough to disrupt the stats already. More to the point, someone like G4 didn't start over 10" ,he developed it through pe, as have probably a number of other guys in america. At this rareified leve,l a small additional number makes a difference.
There was a guy on here a while back, who gave so much evidence, that porn stars that claimed 12" etc, were really "only" 9" or less and carried on so much that JP baned him as a troll. Well he was a weirdo, but no one could break down his argument.

Fluxo your girth is fine, perhaps a little evening out.

He may have been a weirdo, Peg, but he was probably right on target. A pal of mine from MOS, met a porn producer from Hollywood, California. He, the producer, said most male porn stars are around 8"--very few higher. The women don't want guys with bigger dicks--too painful. Remember that most of the females in porn are petite.

8" BPEL or NBPEL? :)

When I started P.E., I also thought I was small, but now... crap, I still think I'm small! Oh well, my Bib and my weights are in my bedroom and so shall I be.;)
