David Veale and his colleagues from King's College in London have done a meta-analysis of 17 studies that in total measured over 15000 penises from all over the world (with an overweight of white ones, admittedly), and found these results:

Length:

Girth:

So the "normal" penis size when erect is 13 cm (5.11 inches) in length and 11,5 cm (4.5 inches) around.

I honestly thought most men would have been bigger

I'm in the 99th percentile, boo-yah!

ggnoobIGN · Mar 3, 2015

But I don't metric

maxcriden · Mar 3, 2015

At first I thought this was in inches and felt really surprised.

gconsole · Mar 3, 2015

Percentage of erection?

raphier · Mar 3, 2015

This chart makes no sense.

Mimosa97 · Mar 3, 2015

We are the 99%

strafer · Mar 3, 2015

Divide by aproximadamente 2.54 cm.

glaurung · Mar 3, 2015

I hate my stupid small penis. Fucking genetics man. Fuck those genes.

Pai Pai Master · Mar 3, 2015

Who's dick do I have to suck I get a job measuring dicks

illiniguy05 · Mar 3, 2015

Gaf is the 1%

Floridian · Mar 3, 2015

Above normal club member.

BannedEpisode · Mar 3, 2015

I think I speak for all of GAF when I say that I'm relieved that my 31cm is well above average.

John Kowalski · Mar 3, 2015

seventy fifth percentile is not bad, it's not bad at all!

ggnoobIGN · Mar 3, 2015

So only 15% have 6 inches or bigger? Yeah buddy.

Porn has made a generation of men forever insecure about their members.

raphier · Mar 3, 2015

17 cm is at 98 percent of what?

Lamel · Mar 3, 2015

The more surprising part is how small the range is, disregarding outliers. Society makes such a big deal out of nothing.

raphier said:

17 cm means your penis is longer than 95% of the population.

tycoonheart · Mar 3, 2015

Oh fuck yeah, I'm finally above average in something!

Imagine your erect dick is 9 cm long. If you read off the horizontal, 9 cm is at around 2%. That means 98% of men will have a bigger dick.

CoolOff · Mar 3, 2015

I thought the chart was inches at first. That would've been weird.

TedNindo · Mar 3, 2015

I'm ok with this.

Guess I'must lucky.

I seriously doubt this is true. The chart seems skewed toward the tiny.

Maybe Internet porn and nudes have destroyed any realistic conception of penis size for me.

GK86 · Mar 3, 2015

I knew I had a big one, but glad science confirmed it.

Misterinenja · Mar 3, 2015

Inb4 everyone rushes in to tell they're above average.

You know it.

flkraven · Mar 3, 2015

Subscribed until I find a ruler.

injurai · Mar 3, 2015

So only 1 out of 10 people break 6 inches... gaf is a bunch of liars.

Deleted member 231381 · Mar 3, 2015

They also found no correlation between race and penis size, although the sample size of non-Caucasians and non-African-Americans was relatively small. There is probably bias towards larger penises in the study too, given more confident men are more likely to be involved in volunteering such information.

atr0cious · Mar 3, 2015

I wonder if they have some kind of showers vs growers statistic.

Well are we talking tip to balls or tip to pelvis? That's the missing info.

CoolOff · Mar 3, 2015

Okay, only 15% over 6 inches? Nah, I don't think so.

Only correct way is a ruler on top of it starting from the base.

Gotcha. Thanks, thought I was tripping for a minute.

esms · Mar 3, 2015

Beat the average, baby. My day is made.

boiled goose · Mar 3, 2015

Seems way too small.
6 inches is usually called average but it is in the 80th percentile here.

Curve is super flat.

[joke deleted. sorry]

A graph of the size distribution shows that outliers are rare. A 16-cm (6.3-inch) erect penis falls into the 95th percentile: Out of 100 men, only five would have a penis larger than 16 cm. Conversely, an erect penis measuring 10 cm (3.94 inches) falls into the 5th percentile: Only five out of 100 men would have a penis smaller than 10 cm.

Red · Mar 3, 2015

Do these measurements include children?

It's a meta-analysis of multiple studies so yeah.

andycapps · Mar 3, 2015

Well this makes me feel better about myself.

Showers vs growers is a lie.

Well, the OT makes it sound like the studies in question actually actively took measurements instead of asking participants (?).

Edit: Went and checked, and yeah, they actually did take measurements.

China hás over a billion people guys...

glaurung · Mar 3, 2015

In this thread: everybody is really smug about having a massive shaft that they need to wrap around their waist in order to walk around.

That has been know for a while, diet and lifestyle are the most important factors when determining size.

It's crazy how many of the top 5% are GAF members.
