Poll: Does anybody here measure?

[Naqel]

I'll check an honest double digit answer while completely disregarding the fact that it's supposed to be inches.

 

[Something Amyss]

We used to have sword fights with them in school and yeah, it was always awkward when someone brought a bendy one.

And I'm not talking about rulers.

Nothing worse than having yours collapse in a middle of a sword fight.

Or so I've heard. It's never happened to me.

....And I'm not talking about rulers, either.

Because honestly wanting to know about a sexual organ is deserving of mockery?

Little bit.

Because why do you even WANT to know? I don't see how the contents of anyone's pants besides our own is relevant to our day to day lives. Are you worried it's smaller than average? Well, if it is, having it confirmed won't help. Do you think it's bigger? Well, have fun getting an ego boost at the expense of other. You just want to know the information? Google motherf*cker. How seriously would you take this question if it was women measuring vagina sizes?
I can't think of a single mature reason you'd want to know about the state of someone else's genitalia unless you had a vested interest IN said genitalia.
You can take it seriously all you want, bro, just don't expect everyone else to.

I don't care myself, but I don't think its right to sabotage the guy's thread just because you don't. 'You shouldn't care about this' has never been a good argument.

We've had threads on here asking about people's height, and no one was immature about that, saying people shouldn't care, why is this subject any different?

Because this subject has been historically inaccurate outside of controlled environments which an internet is probably the furthest thing from a controlled environment. Averages on "normal" internet discussions of this tend be 7 inches which is just not the case as far as the controlled tests go. Then you also have people rounding up when they shouldn't and no standardised places to measure.

This is like trying to investigate the relationship between force, mass and acceleration while the force provided is just you pushing a toy car and saying "Eh that was about a 5 Newton push". While the car is actually a brick, with no wheels.

That may be an apt analysis, were this trying to be a scientific study. Again, height measurement analogy. People who are short may not want to report, etc, etc.

Yes well that is what you get on the internet in regards to this at the moment and probably for all time. Also if this isn't trying to be serious why does it matter what people say?

 

[Mutie]

One inch in length but about eleventy-seven in girth.

It's like a small stack of coasters.

You, sir, just won the thread.

Mine's technically a spirit entity which I bonded with as a young teen, so it's size and form is entirely dependent on available mana pools and celestial occurrences.

As someone who's 6'4" I always figured mine was average because porn. then I met a couple people who did porn in person and realized that everyone was a lot shorter than me and I'm pretty big just by virtue of being proportional.

Interestingly enough, the camera makes them look bigger. It's a similar principle to "The camera adds ten pounds."

Watching porn might actually give people an inflated sense of what a penis should look like. Which is a shame, as porn is usually so realistic and accurate. I mean, they're practically documentaries, right?

Right?

 

[the doom cannon]

this thread is amazing.

also, 10+ inches is where its at

 

[Frokane]

this thread is doing mad numbers, those who are coming here to ridicule it, are also taking their time to come up with witty replies and adding to the post and views, I'm laughing all the way to my next hot topic badge

 

[EHKOS]

I used to, but I'm twenty now and have kinda accepted it's not going past 2.5.

 

[Milanezi]

honest

You don't seriously expect people to answer this poll honestly, do you?

I wish I could better answer this, but the gentleman laughing there has made it clear what I think of the subject...

Because honestly wanting to know about a sexual organ is deserving of mockery?

I wouldn't exactly say joking, sarcasm, and snark are "mockery".

Outside of the few posts asking why this thread would even be made, most people are just having fun with it because it's a silly premise for a thread on a video-game and otherwise geek-centric internet forum. There are certain things many people don't like to talk about in ostensibly "public" spaces, and someone who's been on this forum for three years ought to know that The Escapist absolutely adores being sarcastic when given the chance.

I suppose that's valid, in a way. But derailing someone's thread because you don't want to talk about it? Still iffy on that.

I didn't say it wasn't trying to be serious, I said it wasn't trying to be scientific. There's a difference. Say someone posts a thread about cosplay, they post because they are interested in it, ostensibly not because they want to be scientific about the perfect cosplay or something. What I'm saying is there is a middle-ground between serious and thread-derailing. And by the looks of it, if we are to assume the general average lies between 5.5 and 6.5, lots of people are telling near the truth.

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

Frokane, let me make one thing clear. Every man is blessed with his gifts from the Lord. One of mine happens to be a penis large enough that, if it had a penis of its own my penis? penis would still be larger than your penis.

So around 6 inches.

 

[Blow_Pop]

I'd also prefer not to see member xxx and go "Hey, that's the guy with the nine inch dong!"

Fortunately for you, it seems almost all of the users have 10+ inches, so you don't have to single them out.

About 6-9 inches depending on where you are measuring from and which you are talking about. And they are all in a box under my bed....

Doesn't everyone keep them there?

Considering how much dirt seems to get under my bed, no matter how often I clean there, noooooo.

Which is why mine are in a box under there. That way they stay clean and not get dirty and dusty.

BTW, Totally NOT lying about that.

This is the internet. Everyone's 10+ inches in this glorious land, even the woman.

Honestly, I'd be disappointed if a woman didn't have at least ten inches.

Actual woman or someone read as a woman? Because I'm often read as a woman even though I don't identify as either male or female and I don't have ten inches. Also, as someone with a vagina and uterus and all that great stuff (/sarcasm) larger tends to hurt more when people with penis' don't use foreplay or lubrication.....which seems to be quite a lot of them.

i know i sure do! such a chore carrying around a 3 foot cock around with me all day

oh damn. I was hoping that video would be this song

 

[Eeeee0000]

I'm a woman and I voted 10+ so I could see the results...

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

Yeah, I'm not touching this one with a 10+ inch pole.

I'm not touching this with 39 1/2 foot pole! which when you think about it, that would likely be really heavy and very unwieldy!

Yeah, as you can see OP, I doubt a single person will take this thread seriously.

 

[TristanBelmont]

10+ has 123 votes at the time of this post. Boy, that backfired, didn't it?

 

[Ieyke]

Beware people having the tendency to exaggerate.
Beware the tendency of larger guys having the tendency to speak up more than smaller and average guys.

You understand that people have been intentionally taking the piss out of this, right?

Also, what about women who claim to have more than 6"?

The 10's yes. The rest is a standard bell curve with likely a 1" exaggeration and/or "generous rounding up" going on.

You're right, the women are another factor that can easily throw the whole thing off. Hopefully they all vote 10 just to see the results.

As someone who's 6'4" I always figured mine was average because porn. then I met a couple people who did porn in person and realized that everyone was a lot shorter than me and I'm pretty big just by virtue of being proportional.

Ditto. I'm 6'1" and built like a wall, so on me it doesn't look above average. ....which I must admit is kind of annoying....

Interestingly enough, the camera makes them look bigger. It's a similar principle to "The camera adds ten pounds."

And, beyond just what a camera inherently does, they use a lot of forced perspective and other camera shenanigans to make them even bigger.
There are a few porn stars who are genuinely monstrous and ridiculous, but for the vast majority it's all camera tricks, short guys, and Photoshop.

 

[kurokotetsu]

Of ocurse it is a solid half inch. Because I meassure it eveyr day and it is reaaly importan to me as a man, lover and just human being.

C'mon this is quite ridiculous. You know what? Almost all erect peni (peniuses?) are about the same length, with most of the difference being in the falcid state. Of course there is a normal distribution curve, but it has a relatively small dispersion. So what's the point about this? There have been studies about this. What does it matter?

P.S. Captcha thinks that my name is Jon Snow aparently, because it just asked to admit that I know nothing.

 

[Signa]

39 and a half feet? You're a mean one!

You humans can be very amusing if you want to.
Also, I find a certain Rammstein song to be relevant
