For whoever needs to see this to help with insecurities:
Data:
Population Penis Size: Veale et al. 2014
Male Perception: King 2021
Female Perception: Prause et al. 2015
Porn-star: /u/omsoni @ /r/measuredpornstars (deleted post, but there’s a lot of data still there)Analysis: R & Excel
Visualization: R & GimpEdit: also, I am surprised that it is not yet common knowledge that 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.
Bro never seen a Roman statue, stand proud growers.
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.
Prolly reminded them of little boys as well.
I understand the downvotes as the comment seems kind of inappropriate, but - as others pointed out - pederasty was really wide spread in Ancient Greece and people thought of boys not in puberty as “good-looking” in a romantic/sexual way, as fucking creepy and weird as we think that is today, so the comment is not entirely wrong: this is the same beauty standard that thought of boys as sexually attractive.
You, you are the one who brought little boys into this conversation.
But people laugh at those statues and call them small dicked so I dont think men are seeing those and feeling secure.
No one was telling these dudes they were small dicked to their face, I can promise this.
People… Who?? Are you hanging around museums listening to people commenting?
I think you’ve invented something to get upset about
Have you ever been in a class where they showed those pics? Because there’s certain % of people (men and women) who will absolutely snigger about that shit
Yeah probably in school. Children are children.
Well rounded adults don’t spend their time obsessing over thee size of people’s genitalia.
If you don’t think seeing the tiny peckers on those statues doesn’t make a significant amount of people giggle then I just feel like you haven’t spend enough time with enough people.
