    5.17 is the new average? I remember decades ago it was 6. It’s been slightly lowered every couple years. Science is making me feel better one update at a time

    • A lot of studies regarding penis length are self-reported. So basically subtract an inch from the results and you get a more accurate picture.

      It’s also why countries that censor genitals in porn report smaller penises than countries where the race of the local population is heavily fetishized wrt. supposed “big dicks”. When actually measuring, all those differences become smaller than is statistically relevant.
