Bro never seen a Roman statue, stand proud growers.
Donât know how serious this was meant, but I just wanted to inform you that especially the Ancient Greek had another beauty standard thinking men with small penises were superior to larger ones as they thought of people with big ones as barbaric, dull and impulsive.
I understand the downvotes as the comment seems kind of inappropriate, but - as others pointed out - pederasty was really wide spread in Ancient Greece and people thought of boys not in puberty as âgood-lookingâ in a romantic/sexual way, as fucking creepy and weird as we think that is today, so the comment is not entirely wrong: this is the same beauty standard that thought of boys as sexually attractive.
But people laugh at those statues and call them small dicked so I dont think men are seeing those and feeling secure.
No one was telling these dudes they were small dicked to their face, I can promise this.
People⌠Who?? Are you hanging around museums listening to people commenting?
I think youâve invented something to get upset about
I donât know what you gain from trying to make out like no one has this opinion but youâre wrong. Iâve heard it everywhere from school to the internet to work. It doesnât bother me, Iâm not lacking in self confidence. Im only pointing it out to the other commenter that heâs comparing himself to statues that get roasted for having small dicks and acting if itâs some own.
Have you ever been in a class where they showed those pics? Because thereâs certain % of people (men and women) who will absolutely snigger about that shit
For whoever needs to see this to help with insecurities:
Data:
Population Penis Size: Veale et al. 2014
Male Perception: King 2021
Female Perception: Prause et al. 2015
Porn-star: /u/omsoni @ /r/measuredpornstars (deleted post, but thereâs a lot of data still there)
Analysis: R & Excel
Visualization: R & Gimp
Edit: also, I am surprised that it is not yet common knowledge that there is a lot of prosthetic use in porn. Look closely next time and you can see the prosthetic most of the time.

It must be frustrating not being pansexual. The dating pool is so tiny for you! How do you even enjoy porn when you donât find all the performers attractive?

Itâs so much better with the audio
there may not be a correlation between race and length, but there is a correlation between race and percentage of spongey tissue.
this is basically what creates the difference between what people call a âgrowerâ vs. a âshowerâ. black people are slightly statistically more likely to be âshowersâ having a larger flaccid size. I bet this is where the idea stems from. the extreme examples is this will, however, achieve a less hard erection. so itâs not all bad for the growers. that said, porn stars have tricks to achieve longer harder erections. Viagra is the absolute norm on professional porn sets. meth and other stimulants also run rampant. itâs generally not actually pleasant work.
the racial statistical correlation is weak, and not really worth much. itâs about as significant as some peoples being taller on average. in fact, much less so, because âblackâ isnât a distinct population. i have no idea if there have been better more detailed and representative studies done on this. the only one Iâve seen just went off of general demographic data sets like ânon Hispanic whiteâ or âblackâ. maybe you could argue itâs not worth studying, but damnit, everyone kinda wants to know. itâs all talked about often enough. we should really get to the deepest bottom of it just to end the argument. even though proving things with data never ends arguments.
So Iâm glad guys can see this information and Iâm glad you put it out there. Most people donât care too much about size.
I might get ravaged for this but Iâm going to throw it out there.
There absolutely is a racial (more accurately genetic) component to penis size. Yes itâs true race is a social construct but to pretend genetics donât exist is a bit silly. Letâs pretend itâs only corollated with height. The average height for men in country A is 5â2". The average height for men in country B is 6â0". Again country does not equal race or ethnicity or anything but the two countries I picked are largely ethnically homogenous. Acting like such a large difference in height does not affect the size of individual parts of the body is silly.
Well, thatâs because every single other body part has a bone in it. The penis does not have a bone, so growth would be more related to their endocrine systems, nutrition and individual genetics.
The height difference is not statistically relevant here
Noses and ears are practically boneless but theyâre bigger on taller people in general.
The last bullit point is not visible in the data the plot gives. Edit: i really do not want to talk about the topic, just about the presentation of the data.
Huh⌠I had no idea my partner of 15 years was quietly slinging above the pornstar mean. This is what you get when you are an ace trans masc guy who never dated around and doesnât watch pornâŚ
Sitting on this embarrassment of riches all this time and never knew! (pun absolutely intended).
I mean, dude has a point, and not just on his penis.
Most guys donât see a wide range of dicks. The ones they usually see are selected to look good on film or at a distance, which means much bigger than average.
If you ever work a job thatâs dick heavy, you start to figure out that porn dicks are rare. And that theyâre often not as big as theyâre made to look via camera and positioning tricks. Then again, you also end up seeing the outliers more often, which can be entertaining.
Steve-o is a tad on the large side of the usual range, based on the images and footage (or inchage, I guess) Iâve seen.
But then there are the dicks that we donât get to see because they would confuse and distract the audience (Willem Dafoe apparently)
Few things are as affirmative to a mans body image as the communal shower after a rugby game. Not only do you see a true representation of average penises, but literally everyone is suffering ârugby dickâ and on the verge of inversion due to blood flow regulation that occurs with intensive excercise.
Fake: Porn is pretty fake Gay: Literally read the green text
This is like the time Tom Green taught everybody about testicular cancer
