Size matters

[Legs]

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Chinese men have no reason to feel inferior about the size of their penises, according to a Hong Kong study which showed local men measured up to others elsewhere in the world below the belt.

"Our conclusion is that Hong Kong people are no smaller than Western men, where their penises are concerned," said Chan Lung-wai, director of the Urology Center at the Union Hospital, who
:haha: headed the study.

"There has always been the myth that westerners have bigger penises and their (sexual) ability is better."

A group of scientists in Hong Kong spent five months from October last year measuring 148 ethnic Chinese volunteers aged between 23 and 93.

The average length of their flaccid penises was 3.33 inches, which compared favorably with similar studies on other men overseas.

Germans have average lengths of about 3.4 inches, Israelis 3.27 inches, Turks 3.07 inches and Filippinos 2.89 inches. Italians were the longest at 3.54 inches, and Americans averaged 3.46 inches.

The study did not measure the penises when they were erect.

It found that a man's height bore no relation to the length of his member, but those with higher body mass indexes, or fat content, appeared to have shorter penises.

"It seems that as someone gets older and fatter, his blood vessels change, so the penile size is not static. It may be a reflection of the condition of the person's blood vessels," Chan said, adding that this could spur yet another study.

i believe there have been studies done measuring erect penises but imagine how icky that would be for the person doing the measuring! Not to mention a tad embarrassing for the man in question.

Nah, not icky, really, if they are people who practice good hygiene. Gloves are worn and it is not a sexual thing, they are just measuring non-erect penises. I just wonder if they ever had the problem of the penises becoming erect during the handling and measuring. ...That would have been embarrassing to both the person taking the measurements and to the person being measured.

Shake, I'm purt near sure you have no problem in that department. :naughty:

Been to HH, then, I guess?

Under what conditions did they make those measurements? In my experience the flaccid length varies quite a bit depending on various factors. Or is that TMI? :scratch:

Under what conditions did they make those measurements? In my experience the flaccid length varies quite a bit depending on various factors. Or is that TMI? :scratch:No kidding. In the typical cold doctor's office examination room mine retreats inside where it's warmer. In the -40 degree cold of a Wyoming winter, it's damn near to impossible to find the little fellow inside the multiple layers of clothing, even when I have an urgent need to urinate. In summer, when I'm wearing cargo shorts it's all I can do to keep the package our of sight, it gives the term "dangly bits" real meaning.

I'm reminded of the movie Lucas (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091445/), when Lucas, played by a very young Corey Haim, was confronted by a bully in the lockerroom, he responded to a comment about his diminuitive penis size with something about how the number of wrinkles in the flacid penis being a determining factor in the size of an erection, then noted that his oversized opponent must be getting aroused because of the absence of wrinkles. It was a classic nerd takes down bully moment.

With an erection, no problemo, temperature is not a factor. Sproingggg! Schawingggg!

:haha: You guys and your excuses

[Dingfod]

Ha ha ha. It's really funny when you've been swilling beer all afternoon then have to dig out your cold shrunken penis from it's hidey-hole inside of Carhardt insulated coveralls, Levis, long underwear and jockey shorts in a hurry, a penis that then retreats inside the body cavity at the touch of the near-frostbitten fingers of the about to be pissed all over hands. This doesn't even begin to address the case of the disappearing testecicles[sic].

I don't know how you guys walk around with those things :doh:

If I had one - I'd put a string on it. :yup:

And glittery ones at that. :giggle:

Ew. I'm picturing the doctors painstakingly trying to undo the knots like my mom with my shoestrings when I was a kid.

[Dingfod]

When my sister was an emergency room physician she told me there were the usual queue of guys with unusual things stuck up their backside and another for guys that put things around their private parts that they couldn't get off after engorgement. In one case, it was a metal ring that had to be cut off with bolt-cutters. Eeaaaagghh!!!!

[Beth]

Been to HH, then, I guess?
Well, I would say that to any guy if they said they needed to lose weight to improve size. Or a guy that I know. ...or, um, I'm gonna get myself dug in a hole here. And yes, I have been to HH often, but generally do not venture into certain areas all that often.;) Keeps me outta trouble.

[Beth]

Gosh, after reading this thread, I'm glad that I do not have a penis. Seems like it is a pain, especially if you have to pee and cannot find it. Being penis free mean that I can sit and not worry what happens next. Plus, I don't have to worry about embarrassing swelling moments. I mean, I get self conscious enough when my nipples get hard.

[Dingfod]

...I get self conscious enough when my nipples get hard.Me too. My nipples, that is. I'm sure I would like it if yours got hard.

Plus if we ever want to pee standing up - we can order one of these (http://whizzy4you.com/)

Let me assure you that the benefits of having a penis, far outweigh the difficulties that urinating in the cold creates.

[Dingfod]

[Crumb]

Clue me in, friend.

Well if I have to tell you then I guess it must not be the case for you, but it sure is for me.

[Dingfod]

Well, I guess it beats the alternative, having no penis.

[Crumb]

Well, I guess it beats the alternative, having no penis.

No doubt it beats being a man with no penis, but the important question is whether it beats being a woman with no penis.

[Dingfod]

/me sees wide opening

A man with no penis can't beat anything.

A man with no penis can't beat anything.

From my erotic thesaurus: The Bald Headed Hermit and the Artichoke

Penis

This list wins The Erotic Thesaurus prize for the largest number of synonyms. Men have always been preoccupied by their members and their language certainly reflects this. Try to think of any other word in any other language that has so many variants.

This prelude is followed by seven pages of small print variations on the term. I believe the next longest list in the whole book is only three pages.

With this kind of obsession I'm glad I don't have one. I spend enough time feeling myself up already. :D

Just a SIZE matters story.. :wink: :wink:

Jim decided to propose to Sandy, but prior to her acceptance Sandy had to confess to her man about her childhood illness. She informed Jim that she suffered a disease that left her breasts the maturity of a 12 year old. He stated that it was OK because he loved her soooo much. However, Jim felt this was also the time for him to open up and admit that he also had a deformity too. Jim looked Sandy in the eyes and said...."I too have a problem. My penis is the same size as an infant and I hope you could deal with that once we are married." She said "yes I would marry you and learn to live with your infant size penis."
Sandy and Jim got married and they could not wait for the Honeymoon. Jim whisked Sandy off to their hotel suite and they started touching, teasing, holding one another... As Sandy put her hands in Jim's pants she began to scream and run out of the room Jim ran after her to find out what was wrong.
She stated to Jim, "You told me your penis was the size of an infant!"
Jim said, "yes it is..... 8 pounds, 7 ounces 19" long!!

This brings up another question. Is there such a thing as too big? *braces for bragging*

[Crumb]

Modesty requires that I withhold comment.

How big of you. :D

[Godless Dave]

This brings up another question. Is there such a thing as too big? *braces for bragging*

Some women have told me that any bigger than a certain size is uncomfortable, even painful. No, they weren't talking about mine.

I notice the study cited in the OP did not include African men. My own informal study carried out in the locker room of the gym I used to go to led me to conclude that men of Caucasian, Asian, and Latin descent were in the same ballpark, and wrt to men of African descent, let's just say the rumors are true.

[pescifish]

This brings up another question. Is there such a thing as too big?Yes, definitely re: length.

There's nothing like getting a hefty cervix whack at a particularly exciting moment. Very painful. It's a drag for both parties since it's something that has be kept in mind and avoided. Unfortunately it is during those urgent forceful moments of complete abandon when it is more likely, so abandon can never be really 'complete' for certain sexual positions.

[Sweetie]

Have a friend who claims that she was dating this guy and he whips it out and she just looked at it and said, "what the fuck is that!"

Supposedly he was a tad too wide and they couldn't have sex, lol. She was kinda pissed off about it to be honest, and I'm sure he was pretty thrilled too. :D

But there are plenty of other fantastic, non painful positions where abandon can reign.

LOL, yeah I was thinking man we give birth to babies but it ain't pleasurable and I sure wouldn't have that linger. :D

Then some get the fisting bit going but that's just not nice. :doh:

Did I start that line of thought? Ack, bad me. :doh:

LOL, relaxed and lubricated enough to take a ........ yeah baby, bring it on.......Not! :D I'd say no just for aesthetic reasons. :eek: :D

My man is just right, 'nuff said. :yup:

Size does matter. I don't fit into a Mazda Miata for shit. I mean I'd love to take one for a spin, but unless I rip the seat out, a la Hightower in Police Academy, I'm not going to fit.
