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 there’s 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.
So I’m glad guys can see this information and I’m glad you put it out there. Most people don’t care too much about size.
I might get ravaged for this but I’m going to throw it out there.
There absolutely is a racial (more accurately genetic) component to penis size. Yes it’s true race is a social construct but to pretend genetics don’t exist is a bit silly. Let’s pretend it’s only corollated with height. The average height for men in country A is 5’2". The average height for men in country B is 6’0". 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, that’s 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 they’re 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.
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 “grower” vs. a “shower”. black people are slightly statistically more likely to be “showers” 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 it’s 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. it’s generally not actually pleasant work.
the racial statistical correlation is weak, and not really worth much. it’s about as significant as some peoples being taller on average. in fact, much less so, because “black” isn’t a distinct population. i have no idea if there have been better more detailed and representative studies done on this. the only one I’ve seen just went off of general demographic data sets like “non Hispanic white” or “black”. maybe you could argue it’s not worth studying, but damnit, everyone kinda wants to know. it’s 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.
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 don’t find all the performers attractive?

It’s so much better with the audio
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 doesn’t watch porn…
Sitting on this embarrassment of riches all this time and never knew! (pun absolutely intended).
Fake: Porn is pretty fake Gay: Literally read the green text
Bro never seen a Roman statue, stand proud growers.
But people laugh at those statues and call them small dicked so I dont think men are seeing those and feeling secure.
People… Who?? Are you hanging around museums listening to people commenting?
I think you’ve invented something to get upset about
I don’t know what you gain from trying to make out like no one has this opinion but you’re wrong. I’ve heard it everywhere from school to the internet to work. It doesn’t bother me, I’m not lacking in self confidence. Im only pointing it out to the other commenter that he’s comparing himself to statues that get roasted for having small dicks and acting if it’s some own.
Have you ever been in a class where they showed those pics? Because there’s certain % of people (men and women) who will absolutely snigger about that shit
No one was telling these dudes they were small dicked to their face, I can promise this.
Don’t 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 “good-looking” 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.
Porn peckers are the exception not the rule
SteveO is the last guy from that group that you’d think would have a lasting career. His standup isn’t great, and he still does a lot of stunts that most fucking SUCK to do when you’re in your forties, but he’s happy, a nice guy to everyone, and seems to have found a niche that still pays the bills.
I’m shocked that Jackass hasn’t been picked up by Netflix or another streaming platform as a TV series. They’re available, they enjoy what they do, the filming is cheap, they’ve got people desperate to cameo, the music budget is apparently amazing because the bands involved love their music being used for Jackass, the list goes on. IMO it would be a great way to get the original gang around as cameos, and to get some of the solid newer additions from Jackass Forever a central role.
