Out of curiosity, do men generally measure the lengths of their pps? I asked my fiancé and he says he hasn’t. Wondering if he’s in the minority, or if he’s actually lying and just won’t tell me.

    No, because it doesn’t matter.

    Out of 1,000 men roughly 18 of them will have a penis that is 7 inches or more.

    Basically, 1% of men (one man in a crowd of one hundred) have a 7-8 inch penis. 0.6% have 9 inches, and 0.2% have more than 9 inches. 1.8% = 18 out of a thousand.

    The human penis usually stops growing between the ages of 18-21.

    The average penis size differs from country to country, but here’s a few:

    France - 6.2 inches • Sweden - 5.9 inches • Germany - 5.7 inches • USA - 5.3 inches • China - 5.1 inches

    Coincidentally, on average women (when polled) have responded that their “ideal” partner’s size is around 6 inches.

      Apparently, it does!
      I can’t find a link to the original segment, which is what I’m referencing, where a doctor explains it all properly, but enjoy the celebrity gogglebox take on it, but the point is - turns out condoms come in different sizes (significantly width, as well as length which I think is what most people think of when discussing size) and for them to be most effective and with least chance of failure, you need to buy the right one, and for that, you need to measure first!

        That’s true, the stats I threw out don’t include girth. It is important to choose a condom that fits appropriately. Measure if you need to =)
