So the tailor doesn't touch your penis when they're measuring you

The average penis according to multiple studies is between 5.1" and 5.2" long erect. The average penis also grows up to five times in size when erect. I don't think the problem posed in this article is something the average man needs to worry about.

This took me a second to understand (it's 4AM) and for a second I was like wait, this cannot be correct. No one is walking around with a 25 inch penis. Then I got it

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

Lol right? That's absurd. Mine's 15" like normal.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Do you guys not tuck it in your sock?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Ha! All the guys wish!

So the average penis is about 1" flaccid?! That's gotta be a global average. Not in my parts, I'll tell you that. Not in the local gym showers at least (my only source of data).

[-] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 5 points 4 months ago

Some people are showers some people are growers, plus it'd be totally different if it was freezing cold in your gyms changing room

Right, but average though? I find that absolutely incredible. It's not like it's freezing cold when people measure their penises either... Or is that part of the statistics, to make men feel better about themselves?

I absolutely cannot believe the average flaccid-penis size is one goddamn inch, unless you maybe mix billions of Asians in the mix (no hate). Not from my own experiences. Regional average has to be higher in Western/Northern Europe. No way does anyone of the penises I've seen shrink below 1 inch. ๐Ÿ˜†

Like the other person said, 5x growth is overall, meaning length and girth. Some people grow more than others. The guys walking around without clothes at the gym are typically the more confident guys, meaning the guys who are more endowed. As someone who played sports for half his life, and was in the Army, I've seen a lot of dongs, and they're all over the place. They seem to vary from 1/2" to the biggest I've ever seen which was an enormous 11" monster. The average flaccid just based on personal observation is 2-3 inches, so still not really something you need to worry about when getting your pants tailored. But if you're a guy, then you know that your flaccid size varies greatly depending on a number of factors.

Oh my god, of course. ๐Ÿ˜† I'm so dumb. Right, that makes perfect sense then. God. Dad brain was kicking in hard, earlier. Thank you for that!

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Just out of curiosity, how do you know it was 11"? ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Because he told me, and I told him he was full of shit, so he showed me without giving me any chance to protest.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Jesus. What kind of person tells you the length of their dick, first of all, and second of all pulls it out to show you.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I mean I'm proud of my size too but I don't go around advertising it and exposing myself to randos, JFC.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

We were 18 years old. Idk if that makes any difference.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I mean, not really. Not to me anyway. ๐Ÿ˜… Maybe I'm the prude one (then again I actually have a really miniscule exhibitionist side, which adds to the mix). Ah well. ๐Ÿ˜ Funny story either way lol. Thanks for sharing!

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Young men act ridiculous in Army basic training.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Evidently so lol. ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] Elkenders@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

I think this includes countries which have a much smaller average.
