June 29, 200619 yr By Buck Wolf Men of the world, rejoice! The average length of an erect penis is shorter than you probably think. A study by Lifestyles Condom Co. shows that the average length of a male sex organ is 5.877 inches — which might comfort men who previously thought they were less than average. "The Kinsey Sex Report and other penis size surveys have indicated that the length of the penis is 6.2 to 6.4 inches," says Simon Joseph, a spokesman for Lifestyles. "Our results show that about three-quarters of men fall under the average quoted by Kinsey." "A half-inch or less might not have anything to do with how you perform sexually, but it might make a difference in how you feel about yourself." According to the survey, about two-thirds of the 300 college-aged men ranged from between 5.1 and 6.2 inches. For those of you who don't like to deal in raw numbers, at 5.877 inches, the average penis is about the size of a Nestle Butterfinger candy bar (unwrapped) or a grande (medium) cup of coffee at Starbucks (with the sip lid). Most men vary in size between a Twix bar and a Peter Paul Mounds (with the wrapper extended). When Alfred Kinsey did his groundbreaking research in the mid-1940s, researchers simply gave men stamped postcards. Each one simply held a postcard against his erect penis, marked how long it was, and slipped the results in the mail. "They never had to hold a ruler against themselves," says Kinsey spokesman Jennifer Bass. Measuring an erect penis is no easy matter. Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, and various urology groups have been satisfied with either letting the men do it themselves or with surveys of a few dozen volunteers. But condom companies need more accurate measurements for the best-fitting products — even if sex experts assure us that size doesn't matter. Lifestyles says it did the largest and most accurate measure of penis size ever just three weeks ago. Company representatives went to Cancun, Mexico, at the heart of spring break, hoping to get 1,000 guys to drop their trousers, get aroused, and let a team of nurses measure them individually.

June 29, 200619 yr the average penis is about the size of a Nestle Butterfinger candy bar (unwrapped) hey, thanks! i'll use that factoid for a conversation starter at the candy machine at work tomorrow!
June 29, 200619 yr Author I think the results seem, um, conservative. And black viper, you forgot the "k" in Brookville in the text of your sig below the pic.
June 29, 200619 yr Interesting... Well, I feel better already. So what happens if you're below average? Edited June 29, 200619 yr by NOS2006
June 29, 200619 yr I always just assumed that these studies under-reported so that guys wouldn't end up killing themselves out of shame.
June 29, 200619 yr 5.877 inches? I really doubt that. Biiiiimmmer is a siiiiize queen! Edited June 29, 200619 yr by CD/BP
June 29, 200619 yr 5.877 inches? I really doubt that. Are you the creepy guy who walks up to a urinal and, as unzipping, looks at the fellas next to him?
June 29, 200619 yr hoping to get 1,000 guys to drop their trousers, get aroused, and let a team of nurses measure them individually. I'm sorry, but the visual behind this one is just too damn funny. And, does one measure from the underside or from above? The geometry is different, you know. It could make a difference.
June 29, 200619 yr Are you the creepy guy who walks up to a urinal and, as unzipping, looks at the fellas next to him? Well I know one guy who does that. I won't say his name, but it ryhmes with "rack hyper"
June 29, 200619 yr Well I know one guy who does that. I won't say his name, but it ryhmes with "rack hyper" Flybrian. Wait.. naw.Pan-ther. Nope, not that either. Oh! Umm.. trinacria.. WTF! Doesn't work either. I give up.. Edited June 29, 200619 yr by NOS2006
June 29, 200619 yr hrmm... lol i've got a funny joke regaurding this... actually its not a joke cause it happened... at 8th grade camp well anywho, for some reason we started to play truth or dare, and somehow, we got on the discussion of "lets look at everybodys" haha, turned out to be quite an embarrasement for me... for i was the only one who hadnt started puberty yet
June 29, 200619 yr Author I'm sorry, but the visual behind this one is just too damn funny. And, does one measure from the underside or from above? The geometry is different, you know. It could make a difference. Along the top
June 29, 200619 yr For my own sanity, I'm going to keep measuring from between my shoulder blades, down... around, and up to the tippy tip. Yay! I'm normal! Edited June 29, 200619 yr by ocnblu
June 29, 200619 yr For my own sanity, I'm going to keep measuring from between my shoulder blades, down... around, and up to the tippy tip. Yay! I'm normal! PB, are you implying that you're "challenged"?
June 29, 200619 yr If he's 5.8 inches from the shoulder blades around to the tip, he's what, 9 inches TALL? I wanna see a midget that small, it would be cute
June 29, 200619 yr Biiiiimmmer is a siiiiize queen! Hmm... I think I can attest to that. Well I know one guy who does that. I won't say his name, but it ryhmes with "rack hyper" Is it just me... or does that rhyme with my name? Weird... Along the top What about the sides? If I measure along the right side, I gain half an inch over the left... haha the previously normal people are now superior Or in my case... not as below average as before... Hmmm...

I wanna see a midget that small, it would be cute Do you suppose that would make a good SAT/GRE question? There's a guy named Ocn living in Pennsylvania. One fine day, he wants to know how long....
June 29, 200619 yr Do you suppose that would make a good SAT/GRE question? There's a guy named Ocn living in Pennsylvania. One fine day, he wants to know how long.... Excellent. They also need some question on the cirumference and diameter of breasts. Preferably with diagrams.
June 29, 200619 yr What about the sides? If I measure along the right side, I gain half an inch over the left... Just.. dude. Edited June 29, 200619 yr by NOS2006

June 29, 200619 yr Let me be the first to just say it. When they get past a certain size, they're just freaky looking!!
June 29, 200619 yr you know, I saw this one last night, wasn't going to post, then I read all of this and I couldn't help but laughing at it all.....and at least average isn't as bad as wee....
June 30, 200619 yr Let me be the first to just say it. When they get past a certain size, they're just freaky looking!! Oh, come on, you're just jealous...so you're rationalizing. Incidentally, that was your Post 69. I swear, this thread is destined to go the way of the one on masturbation.
June 30, 200619 yr I swear, this thread is destined to go the way of the one on masturbation. Oh! What a coincidence.. I did that just five minutes ago! Just kiddin'.
June 30, 200619 yr Oh! What a coincidence.. I did that just five minutes ago! Just kiddin'. Thank you for sharing.
June 30, 200619 yr Just.. dude. What?! It's the truth!!! Oh! What a coincidence.. I did that just five minutes ago! Just kiddin'. The difference between me and you is... You're kidding... I'm not.
June 30, 200619 yr I read somewhere that cranberry juice or celery makes your... DNA taste better. It was at one of those "embarrassing sex questions" sites. It takes 12 hours for it to filter down though.
June 30, 200619 yr You're all mixed up, PB. J/K. I've heard many times and don't know if it's fictional, but cranberry juice is supposed to be good for the urinary tract in general, not necessarily for sexual purposes but for hygiene and health.
June 30, 200619 yr Oh! What a coincidence.. I did that just five minutes ago! Just kiddin'. Well, you made Baby Jesus cry. I hope you're happy ... I guess it explains all the torrential storms out east... I know cranberry juice is good for the urinary tract. Whenever I stock the Ocean Spray on the shelves at my job, I always get a bunch of old guys grabbing up the 3.78L jugs. And during sex-ed in high school, the Condomania people told us that fruits like pineapple, celery, kiwi and watermelon all make your "DNA" taste 'lighter' ...

June 30, 200619 yr Hmm...probably best that I don't brag in here 7" long 5 3/4" around *clears throat*....but anyways
June 30, 200619 yr I read somewhere that cranberry juice or celery makes your... DNA taste better. I've always heard pineapple does the trick.
June 30, 200619 yr 7" long 5 3/4" around maybe you shouldn't place a beer can there when you measure...
June 30, 200619 yr hmmm. I have to also ask, where is the measurement from? Also, who is measuring? Personally Nurse Diesel would get a lot less than Vin Diesel.... But I have to say that the new average makes me HUGE!
June 30, 200619 yr I'm hoping that's the point, because I'm feeling like a big man right now myself. Yes Bimmer, pineapple, and other fruit works also, according to the experts.
June 30, 200619 yr No wonder I taste nasty then... I can't remember the last time I actually act fruit.
June 30, 200619 yr Yes Bimmer, pineapple, and other fruit works also, according to the experts. Hmmm, makes you wonder what kind of 'expert' would know that....
June 30, 200619 yr I'm built like a baby. 8 lbs and 24 inches. Damn, that's like 31.5 quarter-pounders with cheese.
June 30, 200619 yr (In a weird voice) Oooh, I just love being normal! so do you measure the top, bottom or side. this question has plagued man forever. bottom I think it's the longest.Oh by the way this web site is about cars right?
