Is 5.25 inch Penis Girth Common??
Thread starter mahad
I came across an old study done in May and June 2003, which said that almost 33% of the men have a girth of 5.25" and over. Come to think of it, 5.25" is not small. Is this study something that could be relied on?
At the base, I measure 5.25 and at the head and midshaft, I measure 5".
I am not sure which study is being quoted, mahad, but yes having a girth of 4.75 to about 5.25" is common. There are many studies which take the self-reported measurements at face value, and many people will round off to the next largest number. I am not talking about this one survey alone. This is a common human mentality. I can vouch for this because I work in sales, and I have a fair idea of how these surveys are conducted.
There are many surveys and studies which state various theories about girth size and blah, blah, blah….Besides the survey quoted by OP, there was a Lifestyle condom survey and Kinsey survey data, etc. I am not sure about the Lifestyle survey, but I know that Kinsey and many other surveys are self-conducted surveys which are not very accurate.
The problem with self-surveys is that we tend to visualize our girth as being bigger, and then as said by WiL, we tend to round off to the next bigger number.
Nevertheless, one should remember that all the surveys are dependent on how a guy measures his penis, how accurately he measures his penis, and where he measures. A majority of the survey participants will mention their thickest measurement. No problem if it is in the wrong place.
Dear OP, do not take these surveys very seriously. Be happy with what you have.

I want to bring in a different perspective. Most of us guys will say that "I know my girl could handle more…" and we feel sad, depressed, and whatnot. But from a woman's viewpoint, if she is sore after a round of sex or is happy to indulge you only once or need more foreplay and lubes, then the dick is much bigger than she can enjoy.
I am no way implying that they will not enjoy a large girth or cum quickly from a bigger dick. I'd say things will become problematic and an issue for them if girth goes 5.5" and above.
How do I know all these…. I talk these things with my wife. Consider it as a part of our foreplay.

Thanks K khyrie1968. That surely is a different perspective.
OP was talking about a survey conducted on 5000 men. I came across a study published on kelownaNow.com. This study had 15,000 participants from all over the world and looked at length and girth, both flaccid and erect.
According to the survey, the average length of a man's dick is 3.6" when flaccid and 3.7" in girth. When erect, the length is 5.16" and average girth is 4.6". The study authors also said that Africans had the longest and thickest dick while the Asians had the smallest length and girth.
Long story short, anything around 4.6" is normal. More than that, you are one lucky dog.

Talking about surveys, there was a Cancun study, present on Wikipedia, which stated that the average circumference of the erect penis was around 4.59 inches or 11.66 cm. These were taken in a laboratory setting. This, I think, will be more accurate.

Wow, so many surveys and studies. If I compare myself with all these surveys and studies, then I fall into the just average category. But my girlfriend is happy, so I think no worries there.
I feel that these surveys were essentially either non-bone pressed or just touching the bone. Can these surveys be accurate? If you press against the bone, most of the dicks will naturally bounce back. Mine does, and I'm sure the same is the case with many others.
I do not believe in these surveys. I am happy with what I have.
So is my inference correct?
The possible measuring point in most of these surveys is the glans. If this is the case, then MEG will be smaller than the reported girths in all these surveys, because most of the respondents may have felt that their glans is the widest. This will imply that the average girth will be smaller.
