So, I got this idea in my head that I wanted to figure out the whole “average size of a black penis” thing. It’s something you hear about, right? But I wanted to see what’s what, for real. I started digging around, just to see what the internet had to say about it.
First, I hit up some basic articles and stuff. They were all like, “Yeah, on average, black men might have a slightly longer penis than guys from other backgrounds.” They threw out some numbers, like 14.75 cm on average for black men and 14.5 cm for white men. Not a huge difference, but still, it was there.
Then I found a couple of studies, one from Tanzania and another from Nigeria. The Tanzania one said the average was about 11.5 cm (that’s 4.5 inches), and the Nigeria study had it at 13.37 cm (5.26 inches). I noticed they were talking about “stretched” length, which, you know, is a whole other thing.
- Tanzania study: 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) average stretched length.
- Nigeria study: 13.37 cm (5.26 inches) average stretched length, 13 cm (5.1 inches) median.
I also stumbled upon this thing about circumference, which I hadn’t even thought about. Apparently, the average is around 4-5 inches around when erect. There was this image from a study by Lifestyles condoms that gave a visual, which was… interesting, to say the least.
After that, I dove into some more science-y stuff. I read about how penis size is like IQ, it follows a normal distribution. And then there was this 2020 review that said the average erect penis is between 5.1 and 5.5 inches. But they also mentioned something about “volunteer bias,” which made me think, who’s actually signing up for these studies, and are they really representative?
Honestly, the more I read, the more I realized it’s a big can of worms. There are so many factors, and it seemed like a lot of people are really hung up on this whole size thing. I mean, there’s even stuff out there about average size by age, like at 16, and how it changes as you grow. It’s kind of wild how much info is out there about this.
The Takeaway
In the end, I figured out that yeah, there might be some differences in average penis size between different groups, but it’s not as huge as some people make it out to be. And there are so many other things that play into it, like how they’re measuring, who’s being measured, and all that. It’s definitely not a simple thing to pin down. I guess it’s just one of those things where you hear a lot of talk, but the reality is a lot more complicated. There are too many variables that can’t be completely controlled.
