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).

Just wondering in calculating 'your' average did you use the following...
Average = (x1+x2+x3+…+xn)/n.

or do you use a spreadsheet?

I’m not a mathematician! Just a lover.

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.

TheMuskratOfDestiny · 07/04/2024 18:22

Every person in every country is different.

What an odd thread

Blame ‘researchers in Germany’ not me. Btw, any men from Ecuador on here?

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.

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

Itsokish · 07/04/2024 18:26

It is very sexist but thought it would give the average male DM reader something to spew about! Payback time for all the shitty misogynistic articles they usually have 🤷‍♀️

AfterTheWatershed · 07/04/2024 18:42

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

Nothing wrong with having a foreskin

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

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?

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' 🙄

Queenfierce · 07/04/2024 18:49

Bizarre everyone is different

How did you know about that?

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

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?

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.

lotsofpeoplenametheirswords · 07/04/2024 19:17

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.

RedToothBrush · 07/04/2024 19:21

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

CountFucula · 07/04/2024 19:25

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

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.

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

Brexile · 07/04/2024 19:29

"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??

CurlewKate · 07/04/2024 19:31

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