Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

And here I was thinking 97 inches long (THAT'S MY PENIS) and 30" girth (AGAIN, MY PENIS) while making 890K per year (PLUS BONUSES) and tipping 300% was totally dead on average for all males geez louise this study cannot be right just saying no gloating #elfkin #averagedick #gamergate

As a lazy man I just see this as who needs to use more effort on those lonely nights.

My arm will be more rested than 98% of men.
 
Holy god what woman takes a 9 inch in her? just thinking about that hurts.

I find that having the width of a coke can used to be my issue with the ladies...not the length...im just on 7 but have an incredibly fat girth meant it was handjobs for me or i had to get half hard and tuck it inside like a rabbit jack.....on the flipside i have very small balls.

So
??
cm in both charts is a pretty good combo, huh...

I heard obesity gives things down there trouble. Could this play a role in these charts seeming like a change from previous notions of average sizes?

This study has to be inaccurate (and this is coming from a guy who is above average according to this).

They clearly didnt measure with the ruler dug halfway into the pelvis like your supposed to. Hell, start from the gooch even.

Apparently they did.

Here's how the study did it.

Gentlemen, if you’re eager to see how you measure up, you’ll need to follow the same measurement procedure used in the study. All length measurements were made from the pubic bone to the tip of the glans on the top side of the penis. Any fat covering the pubic bone was compressed before measurement, and any additional length provided by foreskin was not counted. Circumference was measured at the base of the penis or around the middle of the shaft, as the two sites were deemed equivalent.

So what you're saying is we need one of those charts with a series of vertical lines showing the range between two points, so we can see how much individual variance there is between flaccid and erect, to prove or disprove showers vs growers.

I don't know why I'm being quoted so much. Have you never seen the Olympics or what? Certain sports are dominated by certain races. It's a fact.

rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm
noun

The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

That's the key. I never said anything that could make you think one race is inferior to another. They are just different.

If I say men are usually taller than women does that make me sexist? Ridiculous.

You can certainly say that most good athletes you see tend to be black. But you cannot say that black people make the best athletes. Do you not see the difference? One statement is an observation. Another statement is arguing that after analyzing race, socioeconomic background, culture, diet, etc. in carefully monitored control groups you have come to the conclusion that given the same conditions across the entire human population black people will always be better than any other race at sports.

So yeah, saying:

Did they use lots of Asians? I thought 15cm was the normal size, not 13.

That's racist.

My observation leads to a conclusion on my part. I saw recently some random thing on TV saying that Olympic runners winners in some category I don't remember were always black people since the 70s or something like that, and he won because of drugs. I can only assume black people run faster than white people since there are way more white runners able to get a proper training and yet they cannot beat them. However, in artistic gymnastics, which requires a lot of upper body strenght, white people and Asians dominate.

And the Asians penis size is not racism either, I've seen multiple times studies where they do maps like this: http://www.targetmap.com/viewer.aspx?reportId=3073 So my conclusion is that, in average, their penis is smaller.

Maybe I'm expressing myself wrong (I'm not a native English speaker as you probably noticed) but I don't see how any of this is racist. It's like saying Southern Europeans are more lactose intolerant than Northern Europeans if I see this map: http://www.onegen01.com/blog/el-origen-genetico-de-la-intolerancia-la-lactosa/

Does that make me a racist too?

Anecdotes and observations do not equal scientific analysis. Nor does your assumptions. It's like saying that African Americans aren't as intelligent as other ethnic groups because they're disproportionately underrepresented in higher education. It's just not true despite what you might infer from statistics or anecdotal experience.

Go to your penis size map and look at the Map Viewer on the right. It says right there that you can influence the graph by self reporting. Then scroll down and view the source: http://www.everyoneweb.com/worldpenissize/
Notice how roughly half of the data collected came from surveymonkey.com- a place where anyone can create surveys and get anyone to answer. Note the inconsistencies between data collection methods (self-reporting vs. measured by professional). Do you see why this "data" that you rely on to make your assumptions is faulty?

The very scientific study in the OP (although I disagree that it should provide the final answer for anything) even says that there's no link between race and penis size - and this comes from a published journal, not some bullshit anonymous online survey.

Your lactose intolerance analogy makes no sense because it is due to a lactase deficiency which can be directly measured in an individual and in a population. There's actual science behind saying someone is more likely to be lactose intolerant because they are not of European descent.

I don't think you mean any harm by your thoughts, but you must understand that perpetuating racist stereotypes is both ignorant and damaging.

Actually, the study doesn't really state that. Rather it states that their review of studies can't really say much about any racial variation as the vast majority of subjects in the data were caucausian or middle eastern. Here's the relevant part from the actual scholarly journal article, and a link to the full article (that may not work if you're not on a campus or other network with journal access).

It is not possible from the present meta-analysis to draw any conclusions about any differences in penile size across different races. Lynn [31] suggest that penis length and girth are greatest in Negroids (sub-Saharan Africans), intermediate in Caucasoids (Europeans, South Asians and North African), and smallest in Mongoloids (East Asians), but this is based upon studies that did not meet our present inclusion and exclusion criteria. The greatest proportion of the participants in the present meta-analysis were Caucasoids. There was only one study of 320 men in Negroids and two studies of 445 men in Mongoloids. There are no indications of differences in racial variability in our present study, e.g. the study from Nigeria was not a positive outlier. The question of racial variability can only be resolved by the measurements with large enough population being made by practitioners following the same method with other variables that may influence penis size (such as height) being kept constant. Future studies should also ensure they accurately report the race of their participants and conduct inter-rater reliability.

I apologize if anyone was offended by what I said, it wasn't my intention at all.
I think most people assume the same. But i think it's good to take a closer look at what the study actually shows. I do rememer some hands on reports from prostitutes though. But i think that was on tv.. Anyway. It's in bad taste to try and feel better about ones' selve by ridiculing others ;p.
