5'5" and have 6.5-7". Depends on day. I've always been self conscious and thought it was below avg maybe because of porn
Porn did for men what Photoshop did to women... It gave them a unrealistic impression of what is 'normal'.
Yes. They do.. Take it from me.. I am already hung above average and started due to porn induced erectile dysfunction and compulsive masturbation. So I never did it to get bigger, but to learn how to control my stamina and use my imagination for stimulation and last longer and have harder erections.. Of course, as time went by, I realized that my penis is actually getting thicker and longer, which I had no idea was possible.. But it took some time before I noticed.. I dont use any devices, just my hands and imagination..
3 inches soft and 7.75 inches erect when I was younger. Now it is more like 2 inches and can not get it above 6.5 inches hard now.
You should try those exercises bud, I've read about much older men gaining sexual drive, strength, and size from them. Not to mention, a great forearm workout!
First post. I’m 5’7 with an athletic build, packing 4.5” flaccid and 7” erect, (5.5” girth) making it 10.4% of my total height. I’m wholly English+Scandinavian, and knowing others of my background and build, (short blond Anglos) they all tend to be packing around the same size.
When flaccid, i'm about 2-3 inches when erect I am about 6.5" which sticks straight out I can get myself to about 7" if I get myself super horny and edge myself for a while
The following is by far the best and most thorough site I have seen on size: Unraveling Size See how you stack up here: Super Complicated Dick Size Percentile Calculator
I think you are right on this. I have seen men naked in school or gym showers and in spas, and a few with erect cocks, and porn is unrepresentative.
Calmerchameleon, as usual, you've taken a reasoned, thoughtful approach to such issues. Excellent instructions given at the first post, including the numerical survey. I had to grin at one poster's description of flaccid using the term"it turtles". How very descriptive a term for many of us, especially on a cold day! And after 50yrs or so, very much so. From anatomy and physiology teaching, the average length erect is 6" (as seems to being borne out in the survey). As to flaccid, that's an individual and constantly variable deal. As to the lady-folk opinions, be nice to get a few offered here. From my reading, only the first 2-3" of a vagina have most of the nerves, and thickness is a more interesting factor. Some, however, feel the need for "cervix massage" and other "activities". Oh, well, to each their own. What works, works. The old phrase, it's the use that's the determining factor is always true
Here’s another question that bears on this topic — what fraction of men do you expect are completely truthful when answering a penis-size survey? I mean, if you measure it to be 5.75”, how likely are you to simply round up? How many do you suppose would round up from 5.5”? And who among us would ever admit that it’s no bigger than a breakfast sausage when fully erect, if that were its true size?
Lester, that's constantly a problem with "self-reported" academic surveys. But here on Hip, it seems like most guys seem to be comfortable enough with the group to fork over straight-up (oops) info. And the reported numbers seem to fit well with the established academic numbers. (Now I used the term "most". There's always gonna be, on any thread, some jokers in the deck. Usually easy to spot.) And one responder's post regarding flaccid as "it turtles". Wow, if that's not HONEST what is?
I keep meaning to take a pic of mine next to a tape measure for proof. (Have taken plenty without haha) But also have measured a few times so I know I am reporting accurately.
A couple of points here. First on size . I am sure most guys round up bit I believe most guys are only talking a 1/2 inch or so. For me as I got older it used to be a solid inch longer . So in my case why lie. Second as far as size with a women. I had conversations with women. Some say if the just want to get fucked hard ,it is the biggest the better. Some say if they want a long orgasm then it more about how and not how long. Most have said they have cum more time having someone performing oral sex . They say most guys cum in 3 to 4 minutes once they start fucking hard. Just my thoughts The women on here can best answer the size thing
Harley, good post. It's a long-established fact (since Kinsey in the '60s and others) that most ladies (like 68-70%) don't or can't orgasm from only P in V. Explains why some get good at faking, huh? Yep, oral with a steady, educated tongue is the best way for most (that, and many's 'best friend' the vibrator). As to how long we can make it last before losing it? That's a really individual thing. There are tricks one can develop, like thinking, "Did I get the oil changed yet?" or "Shit, I forgot to deposit my paycheck." A more physical trick some therapists recommend is a quick firm pinch (ow!) of the head of the dick. That'll effectively give one another few minutes. As you said, we need some female input on this thread. And also, "Just my thoughts".
There are plenty that will round up. But really, it's all a moot point. Not to take away anything from the OP but these on-line polls are largely meaningless: 1) there are often times no specific measuring instructions and 2) even if there were, many people will still be measuring a little differently. Looking at Scientific studies is the most accurate representation on size there is, because they use standard protocols. To stroke their own ego.
