"One day, four years ago, Canadian medical
researcher Richard Edwards was bored. He was so
bored, in fact, that he started browsing through
online personal ads. As he did, he was struck by
the fact that in all the ads placed by men, the
shortest penis length mentioned was seven
inches.
"This struck him as somewhat unrealistic. Was it
due to blatant exaggeration, he wondered, or merely
incorrect measuring technique? Or didn't people
know the length of an average penis?
"As Edwards pondered these questions, he had the
idea of posting a questionnaire on the internet. It
was time, he decided, to separate penis fact from
phallic fantasy.
"Since his "Definitive Penis Size Survey' first
appeared on the web, Washington-based Edwards, 45,
has received around 9,000 responses from
participants in over 80 countries, making it
perhaps the most exhaustive survey of its kind of
date. Apart from penile dimensions, it also
examines broader issues such as 'over satisfaction'
and possible correlation between penis size and
other parts of the body.
"So, what did the survey
conclude? Edwards found that the average
penis measures 8.6cm (3.4 inches) at rest and 16cm
(6.4 inches) when erect. The most impressive
specimen he came across stood proud at 26cm (10.2
inches), while the tiniest could only manage 6.8cm
(2.7 inches) when excited.
"The figures suggest that black men have longer
flaccid penises, Caucasians are slightly ahead on
erect length. Men from China, Japan and Southeast
Asia proved likely to have the shortest erect
penises. The survey suggests there is a strong
correlation between erect penis length and height,
but a weak correlation with thumb size, big toe
size and the length of the middle finger. Shoe size
doesn't matter a bit."
