15K penis's examined. How do you measure up?

There's no "Home". There's no base information. That's not how scientific studies are supposed to reveal data.

The Kinsey Institute said it the average was 6.46" for homosexual males and 6.15 for heterosexual males.

Now keep in mind, that's average, which some people seem to be forgetting. So in Kinsey's study of 4,000 men, the average was those figures stated above which means there are plenty of men with larger penises as well as some with disproportionately smaller penises.

The bottom line is that the recent "study" seriously underestimates the average size of the male penis and their methodology is completely and utterly flawed.

I don't think you know how statistics work.

Have you read the original story? The whole thing is a gigantic mess.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that I know how "statistics" work.



"We wanted to be able to help men and their doctors with a definitive paper since there are many contradictory reports from small or poor quality studies," study co-author Dr. Gordon Muir, a urological surgeon at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London, told The Huffington Post in an email. "Many men live lives of misery and shame, or undergo harmful and unproven interventions, due to a false belief they are abnormal."

Muir and his colleagues reviewed 20 studies of the penis measurements of men between the ages of 17 to 91 in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. The studies were conducted by medical professionals using a variety of techniques -- with some measurements taken while men were lying down under anesthesia, and others taken with guys standing and holding their penises parallel to the floor.

The researchers then used the data to determine the averages, and created graphs showing the distribution of the size of flaccid and erect penises.
