Average Penis Size Of American Men Is 5.6 Inches Long When Erect, Scientists Say

[TeamPooka]

The average American man's penis is 5.6 inches (14.2 centimeters) long when erect, a new survey of 1,661 men finds.

The study, published online July 10 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, is relatively consistent with the results of prior surveys of penis size.

Penis size has been the subject of dozens of studies, as well as countless urban legends, myths and spam emails. For many men, the idea of not measuring up can cause a great deal of anxiety.

But whether penis size truly matters to a man's sex partner is up for debate. Some research shows that women who experience vaginal orgasms do so more consistently with men of bigger girth.

1. The article said that the length of the penis is related to the man's height...

But, no indication that the girth is related to the man's waistline.

If it was related, mine would have grown significantly over the years. Alas ...

Anyway, kudos to anyone who can get a federal study grant and a PhD thesis out of this.

12. No, it doesn't say that about height (like your joke, though).

"One study found that ideal penis size depends on a person's height...."

IOW, proportion is what is valued.

7. This is self reported.

So sadly the number is going to be smaller than that.

I wish I could find the study where they asked men and asked women the average penis length and got two wildly different numbers. The average of the women's number was better than an inch shorter than the average of the men's number.

9. I thought that one finding of the study cited was that self-reporting...

... turned out more accurate than expected. Not sure if this is the same study from the thread a few days ago, though.

[FarCenter]

30. Study was to inform condom manufacturers. Do hookers buy the "variety pack"?

How many guys ask for the 1.6" size?

[TeamPooka]

32. That explains all the guns. nt

[NuclearDem]

33. And genitals with lengths >5.6" are considered... niiiiiiice.

[Quixote1818]

34. So for a guy like me who is only 5' 9" tall

I am above average where it counts! Not a lot, but some!
