Don’t know how serious this was meant, but I just wanted to inform you that especially the Ancient Greek had another beauty standard thinking men with small penises were superior to larger ones as they thought of people with big ones as barbaric, dull and impulsive.

But people laugh at those statues and call them small dicked so I dont think men are seeing those and feeling secure.

I always say I have a body of god

There is a lot of prosthetic use in porn. Look closely next time and you can see the prosthetic most of the time.

85% shorter than mean perceived by women

Not helping lmao.

(Well it's kinda helping because + on that number still but shhhh laugh at my joke)

there may not be a correlation between race and length, but there is a correlation between race and percentage of spongey tissue.

this is basically what creates the difference between what people call a "grower" vs. a "shower". black people are slightly statistically more likely to be "showers" having a larger flaccid size. I bet this is where the idea stems from. the extreme examples is this will, however, achieve a less hard erection. so it's not all bad for the growers. that said, porn stars have tricks to achieve longer harder erections. Viagra is the absolute norm on professional porn sets. meth and other stimulants also run rampant. it's generally not actually pleasant work.

the racial statistical correlation is weak, and not really worth much. it's about as significant as some peoples being taller on average. in fact, much less so, because "black" isn't a distinct population. i have no idea if there have been better more detailed and representative studies done on this. the only one I've seen just went off of general demographic data sets like "non Hispanic white" or "black". maybe you could argue it's not worth studying, but damnit, everyone kinda wants to know. it's all talked about often enough. we should really get to the deepest bottom of it just to end the argument. even though proving things with data never ends arguments.

So I'm glad guys can see this information and I'm glad you put it out there. Most people don't care too much about size.

I might get ravaged for this but I'm going to throw it out there.

There absolutely is a racial (more accurately genetic) component to penis size. Yes it's true race is a social construct but to pretend genetics don't exist is a bit silly. Let's pretend it's only corollated with height. The average height for men in country A is 5'2". The average height for men in country B is 6'0". Again country does not equal race or ethnicity or anything but the two countries I picked are largely ethnically homogenous. Acting like such a large difference in height does not affect the size of individual parts of the body is silly.

Are you telling me I could be a porn star?

The last bullit point is not visible in the data the plot gives. Edit: i really do not want to talk about the topic, just about the presentation of the data.

Huh... I had no idea my partner of 15 years was quietly slinging above the pornstar mean. This is what you get when you are an ace trans masc guy who never dated around and doesn't watch porn...

Sitting on this embarrassment of riches all this time and never knew! (pun absolutely intended).

Are these soft or hard measurements?

I must now search for Steve-O's penis.

But then there are the dicks that we don't get to see because they would confuse and distract the audience (Willem Dafoe apparently)

Few things are as affirmative to a mans body image as the communal shower after a rugby game. Not only do you see a true representation of average penises, but literally everyone is suffering "rugby dick" and on the verge of inversion due to blood flow regulation that occurs with intensive excercise.

Don't forget to feel your balls!

I'm pretty sure I've heard steve-o say himself that they couldn't probably pull off much more jackass without like... dying. also i think the vibes have been off for them as a crew since bam went off deep and Ryan died.

but he’s happy, a nice guy to everyone, and seems to have found a niche that still pays the bills.

Yep. To add, his list of stunts he regrets are "this was unethical, that turned out lame" instead of "this was the most painful".
