Adequate penis sizes
-
“Average” penis dimensions in the U.S. are:
Length (flaccid): 3.6 inches (9.16 cm)
Length (erect): 5.2 inches (13.24 cm)
Circumference/girth (flaccid): 3.7 inches (9.31 cm)
Circumference/girth (erect): 4.6 inches (11.66 cm)These may differ depending on where in the world you live. But you know where it really matters to your partner? Nowhere.
Does that measurement start from the back of balls or taint? Asking for a friend.
BTW I guess it's not true what they say about the black ones or is it?
What about you?
Happy with what you got?

The xtra-large black penises are mostly in Black-Americans...
Think about it...
400+ years of selective breeding by their captors...
Just sayin...

After thinking about it, I found this to be a distasteful and fetishistic generalization.
Just sayin.

It may be distasteful to think about long-term repercussions and effects of 400+ years of chattel slavery, but they're there...
The desire to "undo" the past is equally as strong on the personal level (hence: 30-somethings common desires to communicate with their younger selves), as it is on the social level. But we don't have time-travel yet - not for your 15 y/o idiot self (speaking for myself there), and not for our ancestors. We simply cannot make that time in our past go away... and we shouldn't just ignore the results... whether they're major and significant, or minor and somewhat insignificant... like penis and breast sizes. (Mind you, the same can be said to explain the increased height and muscularity of African American males vs. their African counterparts).
Still - you can't just pretend that slave owners of the early American centuries didn't heavily favor women with larger breasts and men with larger penises(or larger muscles)! And that is the very definition of selective breeding!
For the record: I do not fetishize African-American males - my ex-fiance was African American (he passed away), and my new b/f is Vietnamese (not that I didn't have options in the African American community - I had a lot of ties to that local community from my time with my ex)... but, I am personally, admittedly, more pansexual than homosexual... I'm attracted to the parts on a physical level, but to the person on an emotional level. And for me - just saying for me - both have to be there for a successful relationship.
All of that being said: I do agree that it is a generalization - and the comment I made was with regards to the generalization from the original poster that Blacks were supposed to have larger penises, but that African nations in the "survey" didn't reflect that.
Honestly, I find it amusing that we (Americans) fetishize things (esp race) along very different lines than the rest of the world. "We" tend to lump all Blacks together (their African heritages can be VERY different), all Latins together (their origins can be even more different! Think Brazillians vs. Cubans!), all Asians together (nowhere else in the world are Japanese and Chinese "bundled together" like here - much less the cornucopia of other Asian cultures!).
In my experience, fetishes in other parts of the world tend to fall into more specific areas: big dicks (of any color), blonde hair, hairy or smooth, skinny or fat, blue eyes, etc... (as with the comment about larger penises, it's an observation and a generalization - not a "rule")

@bi4smooth : With all due respect, the whole "selective breeding" thing is mostly a myth. Even if it were not, there is no evidence that male slaves were bred for penis size. Large-scale studies of penis size have not found any statistical significant differences between black and white penis sizes.
Since this discussion has the potential to get quite ugly, can we please go back to the original topic? Personally, yes, I'm happy with what I have. As a top, I'm perhaps not as concerned about the penis size of my partner as some might be. His ass, on the other hand.....
Although, whenever this comes up, I'm reminded of a segment from a live concert by the a cappella group The Flirtations. They have a segment called "One of us," in which they say things like, "One of us was a high school wrestler." One of those statements was, "One of us thinks size matters," at which point, the individual in question piped up, "And the rest of them are lying!"
A related question: when you're reading an online profile hookup site, how much do you automatically subtract from their stated penis length?

To his credit, bi4smooth is never ugly in his responses, and is the master of the novella (lol).
This "size" topic reappears and reappears in this Forum -- same old. But people do love talking about their penises and whether size matters to them.
To NF16, I imagine that penis up-sizing is as common as age downsizing, though I don't have estimates. Have fun with it.

Not so much - being born & raised in the American South, and educated in the 1970's and 80's - when we weren't being so prudish about these things, I was exposed to this information in both HS and college.
The printed flyers (advertisements) from the slave auctions, as well as the documented sales of slaves, often mention their estimated age, precise height & weight, and an "other" category that was PRIMARILY used for their breast or penis size & usually filled in as U for unremarkable, L for large, or XL for extra-large. Sales receipts from the auctions show a clear correlation to the "other" having an L or XL entered to higher sales prices.
NOTE: sometimes the "other" field would have a "H" entered - indicating that they were "household trained" - that is, trained to work inside the owner's home. The field would also sometimes have a number - which was used solely for women, to show how many live children she had birthed - women who had successfully had children were highly prized, as the children were "free slaves".
History aside, remembering that the immigration of dark-skinned people has not abated since the abolition of slavery 155+ years ago, it's fair to say that there has been ample time for the "law averages" to come into play, and the percentage of Black Americans who can trace their ancestry to slaves is decreasing (statistically speaking: they are being diluted). As a result, the differences are "evening out" over time.
That said, many of the "studies" you refer to were flawed on 2 counts:
- they were run by white men who had an interest in showing that there was no "real" difference - because of an ill-formed belief that a larger penis was somehow "superior" - and they couldn't have a study showing blacks as being superior! If you read the statistical details, you'll see that they "threw out" specimens that were "abnormally large or small"... in other words, they pared down the samples so as to all-but-guarantee the result they wanted!
- the more modern the sample, the more "diluted" the pool of Black men who are the result of the selective breeding exercise in American slavery.
I've looked for it, but there was a Japanese study from pre-WWII that looked solely at Black American men descended from slaves - and they DID find a statistically significant size difference - in penis length, overall height, and low BMI (associated with muscularity). We saw the study in my college statistics class (these studies were being used to show how filtering, or not-filtering, the source data can be used to skew results), but I haven't found it in my Google searches.

I agree that the topic could get uncomfortable - but that doesn't mean it should be ignored either!
Again, as a study in American culture: isn't it amazing that it's OK to refer to Asian men's smaller endowments, but not to Black men's larger ones? (Isn't it even MORE amazing that we throw ALL Asians - from Chinese and Japanese and Korean, to Thai, Vietnamese, and Indo-Chinese, to Indian and Pakistani! These are NOT all one "race" of people!)
Personally, I couldn't care less about penis size. My ex-fiance was Black and about 8.5" in length (erect). My current b/f is Vietnamese and is about 6.5" in length (erect)... I fall in between those 2 measurements (I was smaller than my ex-fiance, and I'm slightly larger than my current b/f).... and all of that means didly-squat!

It is sad, but true - men have been comparing penises pretty much since we realized we had them! One of the things I try to teach my children is that - it is important for your lifelong mental health that you come to terms with, and like your own body: height, complexion, eye color, body-style, hairy or not, large-breasted or small, large penis or small - these are all aspects of your body that are generally (without surgery) unchangeable! Learn to like it, appreciate it, and do not envy others for the body THEY got! It was all an accident of nature... it doesn't make them superior to you in any way... just different!
A related question: when you're reading an online profile hookup site, how much do you automatically subtract from their stated penis length?
That's an excellent question... but, alas, I don't add or subtract anything - because I don't care so much... I'd rather know about their chest and face vs their penis! (I know that's just me - I don't intend to speak for others!)
