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).

Ffs. We fight for the rights to be equal and not be seen as just sexual objects and then this comes out. Fucking dire.

@MillshakePickle Because you're expressing a preference for a penis that has been operated on without it's owners consent. Cosmetic surgery on a baby.

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

I do think it's appalling to "prefer" circumcised men, though.

Why? It's the same as any other physical preference.

My preference is that he has a dick, just to be clear.

Circumcision is usually done for religious reasons. I thought.

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

Not trying to be obtuse. Actually, very interested in your point of view and it isn't every day, you get to discuss the merits of Circumcision or not.

Well what's the penis going to do? Curl up and die of shame and go online to find out how it can get it's foreskin back?

Well I prefer a man with his penis in tact to be honest if you must know. But, they can have the nicest cock in the world and if they're useless with it then it might as well be a light sabre.

I agree with this. My experience has firmly taught me it’s not about the size of cock, but whether the man knows how to use it.

Why? Though. Being genuine here. I'm curious.

Surely, it's just a preference. Nothing deeper than that. Some like big tits, others small. Pubes vs no pubes, curvy or athletic body types...

Either way doesn't bother me as long as they know how to use it.

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

"At the other end of the scale, Cambodian men are said to have a mean size of just under 4 inches (10cm)" 4 inches IS pretty mean, lol.

I wonder how they "independently verified" this data??

TheHeadOfTheHouse · 07/04/2024 19:27

In my experience of seeing penis’s ( from personal experience and from working in the care sector) is that black men tend to be big, Asian men small, and British men acceptable, but nothing amazing

SilverBranchGoldenPears · 07/04/2024 19:25

What a pile of bullshit this is.
And sexist and gross.

It says more about you than the men who lie when being questioned about their penises.

Also I always feel weird about people (especially women) who think penises that have been cut are better. It makes me think they are a bit sick and unpleasant.

They should pop this map at the start of every Lonely Planet guide.

RedToothBrush · 07/04/2024 19:21

Isn't this just a survey into which nationality is the most honest?!

canyouletthedogoutplease · 07/04/2024 19:07

Horseshit. They could probably cobble together an unscientific 'study' on breast size using bras sold by country but if you believe there's a global record of adult male penis size you are mistaken.

MooQuackNeigh · 07/04/2024 19:03

Yes I can't see how this could possibly a valid or reliable study unless the same research group went to every country, found (somehow) an representative study of the countrys men and measured them themselves. The cost would be astronomical!!

Lots of things don't make sense about the map like why so much variation in Africa? Why is canada so big when there are so many European there, does the native population skew it wards?? I assume that each country was contacted/researched separately and this is some kind of meta study but each country will have got their info in Different ways e.g. medical organisations, Vs self reporting. Some reports I imagine maybe rather ....ahem...inflated?

Shiningout · 07/04/2024 18:55

Some British men have tiny cocks some have huge, surely it's the case for any body part?

Talking about your ex partners genitalia and comparing it to other people’s is not going to be less nasty in ‘relationships’. Would you want your ex talking about your baggy vag on a forum, whether it’s anonymous or not?

How did you know about that?

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 07/04/2024 18:48

Wtf? How is this even acceptable? Can you imagine the reaction if a similar study on women was done?
As an aside I always wonder exactly how they carry out these surveys? Who do they ask and how do they arrive at the demographic. 'ooooh, he looks like he has a big cock, I'll ask him' 🙄

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

Every person in every country is different.

What an odd thread

This is what drives me mad about daft surveys like this. Who the fuck are they asking? Definitely not enough people for the results to be in any way accurate. Plus it’s something that men will lie about

scarletbegoniass · 07/04/2024 18:44

Nothing wrong with having a foreskin
