When i was younger, i read a report in a magazine concerning average cock size which stated the average cock size was about 6 inches long, this was probably 20 years ago. i read another similar report only a few years ago that stated the average cock size was 5 inches. i can't remember what magazines these were in, i think the second report may have been in Maxium magazine, but not sure. i also read an article i found fascinating concerning how men and women measure a man's penis differently. A man, who's attached to the penis (of course) will pull his cock forward away from his body and measure his penis from the top placing the ruler against his belly at the base of his penis and measure it to the tip. A woman, however, who'll be standing in front of a man will normally measure a penis differently, she'll measure it from the outside, placing the ruler at the base of a man's penis starting where it protrudes from the man's testicles to the tip of the cock. There's a difference of usually an inch between these two methods and strangely enough, the man (who's normally more concerned about his cock size) uses the method that produces the smaller size number. For me, after reading this post, i'm just curious to see which method most people here use (top or bottom measuring method). For me who's used both of these methods since reading about them (i used to use the first method only myself) i get a result of 7 1/2 inches using the first and 8 3/4 inches using the second. Now neither of the statistics i read concerning cock size mentioned which method was used (and that's important to know, i think, considering that there are 2 methods), especially considering the difference in the average size. Either they used a different method each or men's penises have gotten shorter over the past 20 years. Also, i'm sure who volunteered to participate in each of these studies also effected the results. Maybe if all male members (no pun intended) were to post their cock sizes (hopefully honestly) using each method i mentioned, then we could add up the numbers and divide it by the number of participants and come up with our own statistic. Sound interesting?
