ABC News: Are Men Getting Smaller Where It Counts?

Men of the world, rejoice! The average length of an erect penis is shorter than you probably think.

A study by Lifestyles Condom Co. shows that the average length of a male sex organ is 5.877 inches — which might comfort men who previously thought they were less than average.

"The Kinsey Sex Report and other penis size surveys have indicated that the length of the penis is 6.2 to 6.4 inches," says Simon Joseph, a spokesman for Lifestyles. "Our results show that about three-quarters of men fall under the average quoted by Kinsey."

"A half-inch or less might not have anything to do with how you perform sexually, but it might make a difference in how you feel about yourself."

According to the survey, about two-thirds of the 300 college-aged men ranged from between 5.1 and 6.2 inches.

For those of you who don't like to deal in raw numbers, at 5.877 inches, the average penis is about the size of a Nestle Butterfinger candy bar (unwrapped) or a grande (medium) cup of coffee at Starbucks (with the sip lid). Most men vary in size between a Twix bar and a Peter Paul Mounds (with the wrapper extended).

When Alfred Kinsey did his groundbreaking research in the mid-1940s, researchers simply gave men stamped postcards. Each one simply held a postcard against his erect penis, marked how long it was, and slipped the results in the mail.

"They never had to hold a ruler against themselves," says Kinsey spokesman Jennifer Bass.

Measuring an erect penis is no easy matter. Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, and various urology groups have been satisfied with either letting the men do it themselves or with surveys of a few dozen volunteers.

But condom companies need more accurate measurements for the best-fitting products — even if sex experts assure us that size doesn't matter. Lifestyles says it did the largest and most accurate measure of penis size ever just three weeks ago. Company representatives went to Cancun, Mexico, at the heart of spring break, hoping to get 1,000 guys to drop their trousers, get aroused, and let a team of nurses measure them individually.

I always just assumed that these studies under-reported so that guys wouldn't end up killing themselves out of shame.

5.877 inches? 

I really doubt that.

Are you the creepy guy who walks up to a urinal and, as unzipping, looks at the fellas next to him? :nono:

I'm sorry, but the visual behind this one is just too damn funny. And, does one measure from the underside or from above? The geometry is different, you know. It could make a difference. :lol:

Hmm... I think I can attest to that. :D

Is it just me... or does that rhyme with my name? Weird... :P

Along the top 

What about the sides? If I measure along the right side, I gain half an inch over the left... :lol:

haha the previously normal people are now superior

Or in my case... not as below average as before... Hmmm... :unsure: Edited by blackviper8891

If he's 5.8 inches from the shoulder blades around to the tip, he's what, 9 inches TALL?

I wanna see a midget that small, it would be cute  :lol:

Do you suppose that would make a good SAT/GRE question?

There's a guy named Ocn living in Pennsylvania. One fine day, he wants to know how long....

Excellent. They also need some question on the cirumference and diameter of breasts. Preferably with diagrams. :lol::ohyeah:

Let me be the first to just say it.  When they get past a certain size, they're just freaky looking!!

Oh, come on, you're just jealous...so you're rationalizing. :lol:

Incidentally, that was your Post 69. :o

I swear, this thread is destined to go the way of the one on masturbation.

I read somewhere that cranberry juice or celery makes your... DNA taste better. It was at one of those "embarrassing sex questions" sites. It takes 12 hours for it to filter down though.

You're all mixed up, PB. <_< J/K. I've heard many times and don't know if it's fictional, but cranberry juice is supposed to be good for the urinary tract in general, not necessarily for sexual purposes but for hygiene and health.

Well, you made Baby Jesus cry. I hope you're happy :P ... I guess it explains all the torrential storms out east...

I know cranberry juice is good for the urinary tract. Whenever I stock the Ocean Spray on the shelves at my job, I always get a bunch of old guys grabbing up the 3.78L jugs.

And during sex-ed in high school, the Condomania people told us that fruits like pineapple, celery, kiwi and watermelon all make your "DNA" taste 'lighter' ... :rolleyes:

hmmm. I have to also ask, where is the measurement from? Also, who is measuring? Personally Nurse Diesel would get a lot less than Vin Diesel....

But I have to say that the new average makes me HUGE!

I'm hoping that's the point, because I'm feeling like a big man right now myself. Yes Bimmer, pineapple, and other fruit works also, according to the experts.
