but I'm not actively competing with other primates nor do I find any solace with that knowledge.
to be clear: I was comparing humans vs. primates (our closest biological relatives) to show the huge difference between dingus size, I was not implying humans grew larger penises to compete against smaller primate penises, lol. Chimpanzees have noticeable shorter dinguses btw (

There are only theories, but the fact that males have significantly larger dinguses than their biological relatives - while larger bodied males tend to have proportionately larger dinguses - on top of a selective representation of females who (in most instances are polite about it) are public about their preference towards a larger than average dingus, in addition to their common standard senses attracting them to a male who could provide security, safety, and a healthy environment for them and their offspring, one doesn't have to imagine much to be lead one to a conclusion: in a pre-historic sense, bigger and stronger was genetically safer. Big dude w/ big club > little dude w/ little club. Look at the rest of the mammalian classes, and what conditions natural selection: hint you can watch them fight, and in most cases the bigger bulls win.
Of course there are exceptions and, trust me, I love David > Goliath. Under-dogs are what keep things interesting imo... Now, there could be plenty of other environmental factors at play in the development from a small primate dingus to the meat hammers we now carry with our erect gait.
To imply I'm comparing humans size with primate size as a competition further implies I'm suggesting interspecies attraction and sexual competition - lol, defintely not what I was getting at!
So, statistically speaking - bigger men are bigger everywhere physically. Of course there are outliers - and likely other factors, but in the end I believe there's a connection with dingus size - sexual selection and evolution - it may well just be coincidental that we've evolved to have bigger dinguses, but either way the body doesn't know that (at least I don't think so) - it just carries the genes on to the next body. Plus, human mating habits are in no way similar to chimpanzees, gorillas, or most other apes. We tend to mate for life, and I think it has a lot to do with the longer duration of maturation from an human infant into an adult compared to apes. Chimpanzees are normally mature after year five, gorillas are in six.
Do I care how I stake up to primates? not really. I don't find female monkeys attractive. Nevertheless I may deduce and objectively reason/agree with the million dollar questions surrounding mankind's fascination with penis size.
And fuck the porn industry for exploiting it.
