There are a lot of stupid thing people do about penis measurement: - using tape measures or any unreliable method - bending cause measure is meant to happen on planes - going from a side or below ...

There's so much imprecision factors that numbers obtained are more or less 1.5 inches and it's definitely not a centered distribution. What he said was also the subject underlying the latest Italian study by di Mauro's team where scientists measured 2500 ish guys of all ages before giving them the tools and methodology to self measure... Scientific team average: 4.9 (SD: 0.32) inches Self measured average: 6.5 (SD 1.7) inches. Which means even with the right method people tend to manage to overestimate the average adding 1.6 inches to it, making all measurement attempts outside a scientific setting the stupidity I guess. The best to do would be picking the guy claiming to have the biggest one around and make it measure everyone else's just to get rid of operator variation 🤣...
