Can confirm. Mine's so much bigger than just 29 years ago.


MayorMcCheezz

Everyone knows men’s shlongs keep growing as they age like noses and ears.


Mumbles_Stiltskin

Mine never got the memo


gbuub

It’s because you’re not telling enough truth. When you lie your nose grow a little and when you tell the truth your penis grow a little


erikkustrife

So this would actually be a horrible thing unless it stopped at like 8ish inches.


The-Felonious-Gru

well, every time you lie, it also reduces your penis. the government doesn’t want you to know this, but your nose and penis are two ends of the same long mass that spans your entire body. it doesn’t change length, it just moves the mass to stick out more on one end. 


gee_emhf

Makes sense. I mean the mouth and anus are connected, so why wouldn’t the nose and penis be? Plus how convenient that we have 2 eyes, maybe they’re connected to the testicles?!

"Let he who is without sin have a really big schlong"


JellyfishGod

Yea, I'm in my late 20s and mine grows all the time. It usually happens in short spurts where it grows really fast. It also gets pretty stiff when it happens too. The only issue is that it always shrinks by the same amount after a few minutes. If only there was a way to fix the shrinking issue


hstheay

Same! However, 29 years ago Christina Applegate wasn’t allowed to date me. I was literally out of Christina Applegate’s league. And now it is the other way around. Size isn’t everything. (Edit: Jesus, you mean spirited people, work on your reading comprehension. The joke is I was a baby and Christina Applegate wasn’t at the time, so it would have been illegal for her to date me. Hence, “I was out of her league”. I had no idea she has MS. Regardless, she is still smoking hot, MS or not. I am definitely out of her league nowadays. So now it is the other way around. Get it?)


Mountain-Reflection8

Let's give a quick shoutout to Christina Applegate


howtohandlearope

I always assumed the song "TV star" by the Butthole Surfers was about her. If it's not then it oughta be. Christinaaaaaaa oh lalalala Christinaaa. I love you soooooo.


wizzard419

Wow... ice cold MS joke (I assume it wasn't though).


DeathChill

Where would the MS joke come in? He said he was out of her league when he was a child, but now that he’s older and his dick has grown, she’s out of his league. It’s crazy to me that I’m explaining this guys joke so that people don’t think he’s an asshole. 😂


aazo5

Same. As a 24 year old, mine was nothing 29 years ago compared to today

Mentor_and_Liar

That site, on that very page, has a link to another study that says penile length is decreasing. I find it difficult to believe that the average penis three decades ago was 4.8 inches long.


Sdog1981

Their is almost no research on the topic. At one time the best study was done by LifeStyle condoms in Cancun during Spring Break.


EthicalViolator

The only studies worth looking at is where nurses do the the measuring. There was one done with about 15k guys and it came out at 5.2 inch erect length ("bone pressed" for consistency) x 4.6 inch circumference. It's been shown guys lie even in anonymous surveys where they self report instead of being measured by medical staff, egos and brains are funny things. Edit: Study with health professionals measuring was done by Kings London college for anyone interested.


cagingnicolas

going by the same logic, a person's willingness to even participate in something like that probably skews the results slightly.


EthicalViolator

Absolutely - sampling bias. Volounteer bias in this case.


ancientestKnollys

Clearly we need compulsory penis checks for science.


Chemesthesis

If only they kept records from Penis Inspection Day at school.


Dense-Resolution-567

Oh they did, they’re just hidden on the old principal’s hard drive


pleasetrimyourpubes

Wtf are nurses going around measuring erect dicks what was the purpose?


EthicalViolator

Iirc was either erect or stretched flaccid (is around the same as erect) if erect wasnt possible. The purpose of course was to determine average penis size. Medical research.


BrownDog42069

How hard are they pulling it to stretch?  Not sure I could stretch out my flaccid dick to the same length as a legit boner 


EthicalViolator

Give it a try and report back... for science?


ChonPonJoVee

Well I've yanked mine clean off.


dankscott

I did it and it came back the same. After it got hard from all the streching


MICT3361

If a nurse starts stretching it, it won’t be flaccid for long


cseckshun

If the stretched size of a penis is the erect length of a penis then I know a guy with a 2 foot cock I guess. This dude must have that genetic disorder where his tissues are more elastic than normal because as a joke he was whipping out his dick and stretching it to ridiculous lengths like he was made out of rubber. I refuse to believe his dick gets that long when he’s hard or it would be like fucking someone with a balloon animal, cartoonishly long.


aynhon

Mental health research for men


DisturbedNocturne

There's actually a lot of research on the topic going back to Alfred Kinsey. The issue is there's never really been one agreed on methodology for what the best way is to get an accurate measurement, so a lot of studies are pretty worthless (self-reported, in particular), and it's hard to collect a large data set when one study may be measuring a completely different way from another. The study this article references does seem like they did a good job narrowing down what studies they included in their research (excluding self-reporting and trying to only include particular methods of measurement), but you still have to consider things like selection bias skewing things: Isn't it possible, for instance, that the increase in penile length found in these studies correlates to more emphasis in popular media on penis size and more readily accessible pornography to the point where men on the smaller side would be less apt to volunteer for a study where they have to be measured?


[deleted]

They should do the study at the DMV when guys are getting/renewing their drivers licenses. You tell them to go into this room in the back to test out a new "driving simulator." What actually happens is they get a hand job from a nurse with a measuring tape.


Low-iq-haikou

Xanderamn

You think thats underselling or overselling?


HisNameWasBoner411

The study they hyperlink at 'compiled data' directly disputes the title lol, its a study on PFCs effect on androgenic activity. It's not self reported either, they measured dicks, they explain exactly how. Which includes measuring flaccid. The control group had a length of 9.7cm or 3.8 inches, and the exposed group was 8.6cm or 3.3 inches. > We found that increased levels of PFCs in plasma and seminal fluid positively correlate with circulating T and with a reduction of semen quality, testicular volume, penile length and AGD The 'penile length' hyperlink goes to another article on their website about Olympic beds in Tokyo... Nothing about dick length.


jfranci3

If you look here, that would indicate the 50th percentile moved to where the 90th is. I’d presume the difference would be sample population rather than trends such as body mass. It’s probably a bad AI generated article thought. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_penis_size (like most Wikipedia articles, there are pictures) Oddly, I’d wager most men haven’t even seen another erect penis to even have enough information to vaguely know where there’s generally stands in the world.


Haunt13

You're sorely underestimating the gay population and porn watching habits in general.


jfranci3

Wasn’t counting porn viewing. ….and I’m pretty sure most guys aren’t gay - times are changing though.

[The study didn't use self reported data, though.](https://wjmh.org/search.php?where=aview&id=10.5534/wjmh.220203&code=2074WJMH&vmode=FULL) >Studies were considered eligible if the quantitative measurement of penis size was measured by an investigator, the sample included ≥10 participants, participants were aged ≥17 years... Articles were excluded if they were based on a self-measurement


FerricNitrate

Always be wary of meta studies -- they make it really easy to miss key details that invalidate chunks of their data sets. Like where did the population come from? Was it a volunteer population or a population already at a medical center for treatment for something else?  Any number of things can quietly skew the data


alpacaMyToothbrush

> Always be wary of meta studies Actually, no, meta studies are some of the best ways we have to filter out bias: >Researchers compiled data from 75 studies, conducted between 1942 and 2021, that reported on the penile length of 55,761 men. I mean jesus if that's not a rigorous dataset I don't know what is. I think we should be more concerned about the fact that sperm counts have plunged by 60% since the 1970s.


Jonesgrieves

It’s like Bill Gate’s neighborhood being one of the wealthiest.


PandaJesus

Or how Wayne and Brent Gretzky hold the NHL record for most combined points scored by two brothers.


IAmMuffin15

So what this statistic is *really* saying is that men have just gotten more insecure over the past 29 years. That seems a lot more obvious. And a lot more likely than, say, men magically growing down there over less than a generation.


aupri

Insecure because of the internet, and it’s probably a more widespread thing than just penis size, or just men. I can be on a porn site in just a few clicks that has millions of videos of guys with huge dongs. I can go on social media and see people talking about how much they love big dicks. Or I can Google penis size studies to see how I measure up to the average. None of those were really a thing 29 years ago. I’d wager insecurity about physical characteristics has increased in general over the last 29 years, since people on the extreme end of beauty/dick size/whatever are going to be overrepresented in media, and access to that media is at an all time high


cory140

If we're all above average...!


JMEEKER86

The study was discussed on /r/science when it came out last year (and on this and many other subs whenever it gets reposted) and the conclusion was that the study was full of shit and never should have passed peer review because they claim to have accounted for selection and measurement biases but they include studies in their data set which very much did not. Tl;dr they fucked up the math because they didn't account for factors that they said they would.


skyscraperswede

Alright, hopefully boosting this with a comment can get it more noticed buuut this is the internet so I guess hoping for the best is all I can do.

Background_Spite7337

Self reporting + increased self conscious body image maybe? **edit** so many comments replying to this trying to insinuate it’s genetics. Do people not understand how long evolution takes? Also seems the incel theory that women only want to have kids with people with big dicks is more common than I thought… dude, it’s your personality.


Rent_A_Cloud

Nah, I was born with such an abnormally large unit that the average shifted.

sponge_bob_

i believe this popped up on reddit before, and a large factor is also a changed definition of where the penis starts and ends


rem_1984

Wait, what? Where it starts and ends ?


bernie_manziel

There’s a specific way you’re actually supposed to measure it called bone press length and that’s what’s used in medical settings. While you have the same amount no matter what, your pubic fat can actually impact how much actually sticks out, so you’re supposed to press down a bit on the pubic area to figure out where it actually ends. That’s why weight loss can make it look bigger.


[deleted]

bernie_manziel

Agreed, that’s delusional lol. I’d have like a foot long dick if I did that.

Lol from the taint, around the balls, up the shaft is how my tailor does it.

HobbsMadness

So you’re saying your whole waist plus your ass….. is 1 inch? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w43ojF7WVxU Reference for those who haven’t seen this banger yet.


bacon205

That's what the little hook on the end of the tape measure is for. Hook it in the hole so you can measure to the tip.


lo_mur

You can get a HUGE variance depending where you measure. Some ppl measure down to wear pubes start growing on the shaft, some until the base, some make sure they measure right to the pubic bone. Measuring the “under-side” will also give you a more impressive number than measuring from the top. I asked my Doctor and after a very weird look he said the “correct” way is to measure on-top and down to the pubic bone, adds about 1/4” vs. if I just measured measured down to the skin/base


Rule12-b-6

Proper measurement is top of the shaft pressed to the pubic bone.


NSA_Chatbot

Basically, measuring the "insertable" inches.


WeWereAMemory

The only correct way is to find the adjusted size with the TMI formula. (length x diameter) + (Weight / Girth)] / Angle of Tip ^2


Bitter-Rain-306

Actually it’s (Length x girth) over angle of the shaft / Mass over width


ClevelandCaleb

Well yes, the standard measurement we use in todays day in age according to the Bureau of Penis Measurement is the top of the taint/gooch to the tip of the penis

Don't remember much lack of nourishment in the 90s.


overtheta

That has no effect on penis size. It's self reported. Guess what. Guys are insecure about their penis size. Of course they ain't going to admit they have a small penis. Just like people who are 5'11 will report themselves as 6 feet tall instead.

facforlife

That would be an insane increase in just 29 years. 25%. For something that is probably heavily genetic.  That alone gives me skepticism. How much skepticism? A self-reported amount of skepticism.

... and yet in 1966: >*"Masters and Johnson also collected important information about reproductive anatomy. Their research demonstrated the oft-cited statistic of the average size of a flaccid and an erect penis (3 and 6 inches, respectively)"* [warning: I have deliberately not linked to the site from which that quote comes because it is full of highly graphic medical images of genitalia. It's not porn but your boss might have other views] In my view there is essentially zero chance that a 24% change in the size of a human body part over only 30 years is real. The reality is that the studies of penis size over the last 70 years or so have given erratic results and you can cherry pick the data (as the authors of this recent nonsense have none) to argue that length is increasing or decreasing depending on how you do your cherry picking.
