(Stole this from another forum. The user took many penis size surveys he found on google and basically just posted them. They focus mostly on nationality, so I hope no one is offended)
Here's the run down:
EL = Erect Length
ENBPL = Erect Bone Pressed Length
FSL = Flaccid Side Length
BPFSL = Bone Pressed Flaccid Side Length
Everything coming after this sentence has been copied directly from the other forum.
Group 1: Studies specifically aimed at determining average penis size
Study 1 - 80 American men:
EL (100% erection induced by drug injection) = 5.08". FSL = 4.88".
Study 2 - 300 men:
ENBPL = 5.88". EG (measured at middle) = 4.97".
17% of men had ENBPL below 4.5" -- and this is out of men who volunteered to be measured by two nurses!
Study 3 - 3,300 Italian men:
FSL = 4.92".
Group 2: Studies in which average penis size was not the primary goal of investigation (Some guys have expressed concern that doctors fake data in penis-size studies in order to relieve men's insecurities. The following studies should not be prone to this criticism.)
Study 4 - 55 Israeli men:
BPEL (100% erection induced by drug injection) = 5.35". EG (measured at base) = 4.29". BPFSL = 4.92".
Study 5 - 111 younger and 32 older (for whom 100% erection was induced by drug injection) German men:
EL (young men) = 5.70". EL (older men) = 5.58".
Study 6 - 104 British men:
FSL = 5.12".
Study 7 - 123 Korean men:
BPFSL = 4.21". NBPFSL = 3.78".
Out of these high-quality studies, four included a measurement of erect length, the statistic that most interests men at this forum. Three of these four included direct injections of a drug into the penis to induce a 100% erection -- so their numbers can't be dismissed as too low due to measurement anxiety. The four studies reported average erect lengths ranging from 5.35" BPEL to 5.88" NBPEL (the latter number comes from college students on spring break in Cancun, who probably had small fat pads). For the three studies that did not include erect measurements, we can estimate that the erect figure would have been about 0.25" longer than the reported stretched flaccid length, judging from the differences in studies that included both FSL and EL. For these three additional studies, the average erect length can be inferred to range from 4.46" BPEL to 5.37" (might be NBP or BP).
Studies in which size is verified by a third party, therefore, have consistently turned up averages below those of self-report studies. For example, the famous Kinsey self-report survey found an average NBPEL of 6.16", while a Durex online survey showed an average of 6.4" NBPEL. In my opinion, to trust men's anonymous self-reports over the data of seven objective medical studies demonstrates penis-size paranoia -- something to which we are prone here. If we look at the objective data instead, the average erect penis length appears to be no greater than 5.5 - 6.5" BP -- and may even be smaller.
