Sorry it’s a daily mail link, but interesting nonetheless. In my experience British men have smallish, average size. I had an Egyptian FWB once and he had the perfect penis. Thick, circumcised, straight. Any comments, am I BU?

Penis sizes around the world revealed... and UK is not in the top 10

Britain comes in 68th place with a penis size of 5.2in (13.1cm) and America is in 60th place with men having an average size of 5.4in (13.5cm).

OK I'm about a year late responding, but this just came 'up', so to speak, and I'm amazed. If 6.93 is the top 'average', I've been a very lucky girl!
(& to anyone complaining about this, just move on, it's only a bit of fun.)

Can you imagine a similar study on breast size, grading women by country? It's pretty fucking demeaning and I really thought we'd moved beyond this kind of shit. Sadly not.

Or indeed tightness of vaginas...🙄

I'd be more concerned with cleanliness by country! Does he wash his penis and his backside?

I think this is funny. Am I a bad person?

I also find it funny and prob more of an exercise in which country has the most truthful men.

Honestly OP, I’m with others here in terms of circumcision. Hacking off parts of your babies genitalia (for non medical reasons) is horrific. In girls, it’s called FGM and it’s illegal.

ilovesooty · 07/04/2024 23:22

I think the whole thread is creepy and weird.

Well they are not kids now! No, I didn’t question it but in those days you just got on with things and didn’t agonise over it! I was married at the time and my ex arranged it. My sons are grade A students and very good looking with lots of interest from the opposite sex, vastly more successful from most uncircumcised men so I’m not worried for them at all!!

You dress up mutilating your children as babies however you like if it makes you feel better. I don’t understand why them not having foreskin correlates with them being straight A students, are brains hidden under the foreskin?

Any parent mutilating the genitalia of a child should be jailed. Circumcision should only be carried out due to medical necessity.

chillidoritto · 07/04/2024 23:17

How the hell can you condone genital mutilation? (Obv I don't mean people who've had it done for medical reasons).

You sound creepy and weird, OP.

Sorry but your post is coming across as a bit creepy here. How would you know what your sons sexual exploits were compared to most non circumcised males?

Besides how the hell would you know this for any one?

Wordsmithery · 07/04/2024 23:03

Well said. How can women possibly expect men to treat us with respect when we resort to this demeaning and superficial nonsense?!

Walkingwasgoodforme · 07/04/2024 23:00

This is just so sad and depressing and reductive. Just why?

MyOtherCarisAVauxhallZafira · 07/04/2024 22:53

Surely this is mainly about general size, Dutch people for example are generally tall/bigger than average British people you would expect their genitalia to be in proportion, similarly Asian countries tend to have shorter average heights and weights again you would expect genitalia to be in proportion.

Sorry, I should have put this on the relationship board. I will ask to get it moved.

There's always the sex board.

CurlewKate · 07/04/2024 22:47

@AfterTheWatershed "They seem very secure and are good looking and intelligent too. I’m shocked that people see it as a negative! "

For clarity- being circumcised isn't a negative. The act of circumcising a healthy baby is the negative. It's cosmetic surgery performed- often without anaesthetic- on someone unable to consent, and is wholly shocking.

Its a bit sad how unquestioning you were about your kids getting circumcised

GettingtheElectric · 07/04/2024 18:23

Yes. Though it is cracking me up that the Daily Heil appears to have classified it as a 'health' article. That's some quality journalism.

It’s not the DM it’s health researchers in Germany. Journalists do not do data driven research that hasn’t already been done by someone else in some form

AfterTheWatershed · 07/04/2024 21:26

Yes that it true! I would ask them but that might be a bit weird now, and they are out and about living life, not mumsnet types that dwell on everything/have an issue with everything so probably wouldn’t engage anyway!

I think there is, and equally meaningless. Available at this website along with many weird statistics to keep tabloid writers doing no-effort clickbaity articles for months. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/

Men incidentally are 2.6 times more likely to google average penis size than women. That's a stat I made up just now though.

Agree it is demeaning (and pointless - what exactly are we to do about the terrible news the UK is not in the top ten )

Wow, very surprised at the responses, both of my sons are circumcised. Tb fair I got married very young to a Muslim and I didn’t really think anything of it when he got them circumcised. My sons have never expressed anything negative about it and although I’m now divorced my sons do Ramadan and go to Mosque, they have lots of female interest so I don’t think they are unhappy to be circumcised. They seem very secure and are good looking and intelligent too. I’m shocked that people see it as a negative! Im not sure if men from Ecuador are circumcised, does this make a difference to size?

They didn't really have an option tho did they? The choice was taken from them! As the saying goes 'you can only piss with the cock you've got'!

I can't be bothered clicking. Men will find this very interesting I bet.

Err this man doesn't.

@MillshakePickle "What about my H, he had rather tight foreskin and it was circumcised at 10? Does medical need count as non consent?"

No. Parents can, of course, consent to medical procedures on behalf of minor children. As I said, most circumcisions are done for cosmetic reasons. I include religious ritual as "cosmetic"

CurlewKate · 07/04/2024 19:56

@Wellhellooooodear "No. My DH was circumcised age around 8 for medical reasons, not religious or cosmetic."

Yes, there are a few men like that. Most, however...
