About this chart

This chart is based on the data sets from the calcSD average for bone-pressed erect penis sizes and tall.life height percentiles in the USA. The size ranges are given based on standard deviations from the statistical mean. Please remember, practically speaking, size is often a very subjective notion, and it can depend on things like body proportions and personal perceptions. What seems "small" to one person, may seem "big" to another, and vice versa. While you may be of one objective size classification based on standard deviations, your perceptual size may be different, and may be different to different people in different situations.

 

This is not a value judgement chart.

Being bigger or smaller than other people does not make you inherently better or worse in terms of desirability or sexual ability. Everyone has different preferences, and despite what social convention would have you believe, there are many people who like or prefer average and smaller penises.

 

This is also not a height correlation chart.

The height column is merely giving a better perspective about how common or rare different erect bone-pressed sizes are by relating them to how common or rare different heights are. Since we don't get to see erect penises out and about every day unlike people's heights, this is meant to help you get a better understanding of typical sizes outside of what you see in pornography (both amateur and professional), which has a very high selection bias towards larger penises due to current social stigmas.

 

Don't believe the scientific data? You may have penis-size dysmorphia.

This effect is explained in a little more detail in this post: On penis size dysmorphia - the NBA analogy.

 

Breaking your subconscious, irrational "beliefs"

Understanding things on a rational level is one thing, but sometimes it's hard to break the subconscious irrational thoughts we have without experiencing something more visually and on a consistent basis to make it more real. To get a better visual perspective, I recommend people spend some time on subs like r/averagepenis (18 only, NSFW), r/tinydick (18 only, NSFW), and r/normalnudes (18 only, NSFW) to get a better visual representation of what the common erect penis really looks like. These subreddits are also well-moderated and positive communities that show that penises of all sizes are seen as attractive and appreciated by many.

 

This chart is based on BONE-PRESSED (BP) measurements

Yea bone pressed is the one that actually matters. Although I am only 5'7" My bone pressed is 6.7-7" using a cloth tape since it curves up. These numbers look right but not sure about the height ones.
