Why do American guys feel that they need to get an up on Asian guys? Regarding penis size.? Do white guys seriously have anything to brag about when the avg American penis size is 5.87 inches? It's sad when these guys need to add more than an inch to their penis just to make themselves feel better. The avg American can't even make six inches. What's with American guys needing to brad about inches that they don't have espescially when commenting on Asian penis size? There are no facts that the average Asian penis is small yet they constatantly have no problem using this every chance they get if for nothing else but to try to get an up on Asian guys. White guys seriously need to stop bragging from their porn collection because they they correlate to reality.

Men of the world, rejoice! The average length of an erect penis is shorter than you probably think.
A study by Lifestyles Condom Co. shows that the average length of a male sex organ is 5.877 inches — which might comfort men who previously thought they were less than average.
"The Kinsey Sex Report and other penis size surveys have indicated that the length of the penis is 6.2 to 6.4 inches," says Simon Joseph, a spokesman for Lifestyles. "Our results show that about three-quarters of men fall under the average quoted by Kinsey."
"A half-inch or less might not have anything to do with how you perform sexually, but it might make a difference in how you feel about yourself."
According to the survey, about two-thirds of the 300 college-aged men ranged from between 5.1 and 6.2 inches.
For those of you who don't like to deal in raw numbers, at 5.877 inches, the average penis is about the size of a Nestle Butterfinger candy bar (unwrapped) or a grande (medium) cup of coffee at Starbucks (with the sip lid). Most men vary in size between a Twix bar and a Peter Paul Mounds (with the wrapper extended).
When Alfred Kinsey did his groundbreaking research in the mid-1940s, researchers simply gave men stamped postcards. Each one simply held a postcard against his erect penis, marked how long it was, and slipped the results in the mail.
"They never had to hold a ruler against themselves," says Kinsey spokesman Jennifer Bass.
Measuring an erect penis is no easy matter. Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, and various urology groups have been satisfied with either letting the men do it themselves or with surveys of a few dozen volunteers.
But condom companies need more accurate measurements for the best-fitting products — even if sex experts assure us that size doesn't matter. Lifestyles says it did the largest and most accurate measure of penis size ever just three weeks ago. Company representatives went to Cancun, Mexico, at the heart of spring break, hoping to get 1,000 guys to drop their trousers, get aroused, and let a team of nurses measure them individually. | This is one of the most commonly asked question on yahoo answers, Please read this, at the bottom it has info on penis enlargement…
Just about every guy wonders how he measures up in the “down-there” department at one time or another. Here’s the lowdown for any guy who’s ever worried about whether his penis is a normal size.
There’s a fairly wide range of normal penis sizes - just as there is for every other body part. And just like other parts of the body, how a penis appears at different stages of a guy’s life varies quite a bit. You wouldn’t expect someone who is 11 years old to look the same as someone who’s 19.
Guys normally develop at different times. Some may start developing as early as 9. Others may not start developing until 15 or even later. The age at which a guy starts to grow varies from person to person. It all depends on when he enters puberty and his hormones start doing their thing.
Growth in penis size is just one part of puberty, which also includes such changes as pubic hair development, testicular growth, muscle development, and a growth spurt. Late starters almost always catch up fine - they just reach full maturity a little later.
Penises come in different sizes, shapes, and colors. These traits are hereditary, like eye color or foot size, and there’s nothing you can do to change them. Despite what you may hear or read, no special exercises, supplements, or diets will speed up the development process or change a guy’s size. Also, like his feet, a guy’s penis may appear smaller to him just because the perspective is different when he’s looking down. And there’s a lot less difference in penis size between guys when they get an erection (a “*****” or “hard on”) than when their penises are relaxed.
In addition to size, guys also wonder about other aspects of how their penises look, such as whether the skin covering the penis is normal or if it’s OK for a guy’s penis to hang to the left or right (it is!). If you’re concerned about how your penis looks, ask your doctor. Guys who are reaching puberty should have regular testicular exams, so that’s a good time to ask your doctor any questions.
Taking a ride on the hormonal roller-coaster means lots of changes - and a lot of common worries - for both guys and girls. Just as guys may wonder about how their penises develop, lots of girls ask the same thing about their breasts.
If you’re wondering about your development, don’t try to compare yourself to your older brother or your best friend - they’re probably at a different stage of development than you are anyway. The important thing to remember is that it’s OK to not be a mirror image of the guy at the next urinal.
Get out the tweezers and the microscope :)
You probably have a good sense of where you fit in the distribution of size for
more commonly visible measurements of body size: height, size of hands, feet,
weight and so on. However, unless you spend a lot of time in a nudist
environment, there are, understandably other measurements for which you don’t
have a good sense of where you fit. Penis size is an obvious example. It’s also
one that can make a lot of people uncomfortable. They worry about whether they
are abnormal, “too small,” “too large,” and so on. As with most characteristics
of human anatomy, there is a lot of individual variation. You can differ
substantially from average without being unusual or freakish and without any
need for concern or medical intervention. If you have concerns, by all means
consult a doctor, but chances are good that you have nothing to worry about.
On the other hand, there is always a fascination with people who are
significantly different for the normal range. This applies to height and
weight, size of hands and feet, and, yes, also to penis size. So what
is “normal”? Surprisingly, perhaps, given how common concerns about penis size
seem to be, there are very little good data based on large samples. There are
data, though, and the numbers seem to agree well enough to suggest that the
sample size must be large enough to give reasonably accurate measures of
averages and distributions.
There are additional links there to other studies as well.
The average length of an erect penis (measured along the top) is 16.1 cm (6.34
in).
90% of measurements fall between 10 and 21 cm (4 and 8.25 in).
The average girth of an erect penis is 12.3 cm (4.84 in).
The average length of the flaccid penis is about 9 cm (3.5 in) with most
measurements falling between 5 cm (2 in) and 12.5 cm (5 in).
These numbers appear to be approximately independent of such parameters as age
(post-puberty) and nationality despite any anecdotal information you may have
heard to the contrary, though reliable data on such variations is quite limited.
You can decide what “big” is, but just as you probably wouldn’t particularly
label someone as “tall” unless they were in the top few percent, you probably
wouldn’t want to label someone’s penis as “big” unless it was larger than the
normal ranges quoted above (greater than 21 cm erect length, 12.5 cm flaccid
length). There also appears to be a large variability in the ratio of the erect
length to flaccid length. Average is about 1.8, but ratios from about 1 to 4
are not uncommon.
You can turn up a lot of additional reading material on this subject with a Google search :
Average penis size
I hope this information helps you to better understand what is “normal”
and “big.” Again, if you have concerns, consult your doctor. You may also see
many advertisements for companies that claim to help you increase penis size. I
would caution you against considering their services because of questionable
efficacy in many cases, and because it is unlikely that there is any real
reason why you should need to change your size.
Your penis is too big, if your woman says it hurts her.
But not all woman can take the same size of penis.
So, the conclusion is:
-If your partner says it is too big, then it is. For her/him.

Beware of penis-enlargement scams
Considering penis enlargement? Don't waste your money on ineffective and possibly dangerous male-enhancement pills, pumps, exercises and surgeries.
If you've seen the "Austin Powers" movies, you may have laughed at Austin for owning a penis-enlargement pump. But you also may have been thinking, "Hmm. I wonder if something like that could give me an extra inch or two."
Penis-enlargement products aren't difficult to find. Men's magazines, sports radio shows and Internet sites are filled with advertisements for pumps, pills, weights, exercises and surgeries — all of which supposedly can increase the length and width (girth) of your penis. Even if you've never visited an Internet porn site, you've likely received many unsolicited e-mails for products and services that promise to make you more of a man.
These come-ons are based on several stereotypes about men's insecurities. The "male enhancement" industry assumes that every man:
·Is afraid he has a small penis
·Believes he'd be a better lover if he had a bigger penis
·Is looking for a way to safely and effectively increase his penis size
Don't fall for it. No scientific research supports the use of any nonsurgical method to enlarge the penis, and no reputable medical society endorses penis-enlargement surgery performed for purely cosmetic reasons. Because many of these techniques can damage your penis and even cause impotence, think twice before trying any of them.
Penis size: What's normal, what's not?
When you were a boy, a locker room bully may have taunted you about the size of your penis. As you compared yourself with other boys in the shower, you may have concluded that he was right. A cylinder-shaped object such as a penis always looks smaller when viewed from above than it does when viewed from the side.
As you grew older, you may have seen super-sized penises in X-rated movies and magazines. Such experiences may have left you with a distorted image of what's normal and what's not.
Most likely, your size is perfectly normal. Research shows that more than 70 percent of men have penises that measure between 5 and 7 inches when erect. A penis is considered abnormally small only if it measures less than 3 inches when erect, and even then it might not matter. Researchers have documented many cases in which men with so-called micropenises have been fully capable of having sex and fathering guyren.
The partner perspective: How they view penis size
E-mail advertisements would have you believe that women care deeply about penis size. But women responding to magazine surveys say they don't care about size at all.
What's the truth? A Dutch study of 375 sexually active women who had recently given birth suggests that the surveys are accurate — to a point. Seventy-nine percent of the women said that penis length is unimportant, and 69 percent of them said the same about penis girth.
E-mail advertisements would also have you believe that gay men are obsessed with penis size. But individual preferences vary. Average penis size is the same in both gay and straight men.
So, unless your partner tells you otherwise, it's probably safe to assume that you're fine just the way you are. Understanding your partner's physical and emotional needs and desires may do far more to improve your sexual relationship than would changing the size of your penis.
Nonsurgical methods of penis enlargement
Marketers offer many different types of nonsurgical penis enlargement, and often promote them with serious-looking advertisements that include endorsements from "scientific" researchers.
But if you look and read closely, you'll see that claims of safety and effectiveness are completely groundless. Because no reputable scientific research validates any type of nonsurgical penis enlargement, marketers rely on testimonials and before-and-after photos that may not be authentic.
At the bottom of such advertisements, you'll usually find a sentence such as "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration." Well, of course they haven't been. The Food and Drug Administration, the government agency that regulates medications and medical devices, has never approved any medications or devices for enlarging a penis.
There are four basic types of nonsurgical penis enlargement:
·Manual stretching or squeezing (jelquing). These exercises are supposed to be performed 30 minutes a day for an indefinite period of time. Although they may be safer than other methods, they can lead to scar formation, pain and disfigurement.
·Stretching with penile weights. This technique is very likely to cause permanent penile damage.
·Vacuum pumps. Because pumps draw blood into the penis and make it swell, they're useful in the treatment of impotence (erectile dysfunction). This may create an illusion of a larger penis, but results are seldom permanent. Repeated use can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to less-firm erections.
·Pills and lotions. These usually contain vitamins, minerals, herbs or hormones such as testosterone. Although topical testosterone is sometimes used on adolescent boys to accelerate puberty, there's no evidence that it or any other substance can increase penis size in adult men. In 2002, authorities in the state of Arizona seized the assets of a penis-pill company, in part because the owners fraudulently claimed their product would deliver a permanent gain of 1 to 3 inches. The company owners also refused to honor their money-back guarantee, committing yet another fraud.

Surgical methods of penis enlargement
CLICK TO ENLARGE
Suspensory ligament
Cosmetic surgeons have developed several different enlargement techniques, none of them endorsed by medical organizations. The American Urological Association, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons have all issued policy statements against cosmetic surgical procedures to enhance the penis.
To lengthen a penis, surgery typically involves snipping the suspensory ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone and moving skin from the abdomen to the penile shaft. The suspensory ligament stabilizes and gives an upward tilt to an erect penis.
When this ligament is cut, the penis may look longer because more of it hangs outside the body. But cutting the suspensory ligament can cause an erect penis to wobble and position itself at odd angles, particularly when erect.
Surgery to make the penis thicker involves suctioning fat from a fleshy part of the body and injecting the fat into the penis. Another technique is simply to graft fat cut away from the buttocks or abdomen onto the penile shaft. Some practitioners use tissue from cadavers.
None of these techniques have been shown to be safe or effective. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons describes injecting fat into the penis as "a new and unproven cosmetic procedure of unknown safety" with potential risks that include infection, skin or sensory loss, excessive bleeding and loss of function.
Surgeons have developed another technique — albugineal surgery with bilateral saphenous grafts — that involves grafting blood vessels from elsewhere in the body to the penis in order to increase blood flow and penis width during erection. An Italian study of 39 men who underwent the surgery for cosmetic reasons found that it increased width by an average of one-half inch without complications. These men may have been lucky.
Following various types of cosmetic penile enhancement surgery, some men have had to undergo additional operations to correct deformities caused by the original procedure. The ill effects include scarring, shorter penises, hair on the base of the penis, low-hanging penis, loss of sensitivity, and bumps, lumps, and clumps of fat. Other complaints include impotence, urinary incontinence and persistent pain.
Then there's the cost: about $10,000 for a typical penis-enlargement surgery that doesn't require additional corrective surgery. Because cosmetic surgery is seldom covered by insurance, you'll likely have to bear the entire expense.

When surgery may be an option
Surgeons have devised reconstructive procedures for penises that have been amputated or damaged by circumcisions, animal bites, motor vehicle accidents and physical assaults, among other causes. A penis can be constructed in sex-change operations and to correct birth defects.
And this might work: Achieve a healthy body weight
One place that size might count is your abdomen — not your penis. If your lower abdomen hangs over your genitalia, you might look as if you have a shorter, smaller penis than you actually do. Fat can obscure some or much of the upper part of the penis. For this, the best treatment is to achieve a healthy weight.
www.mayoclinic.com/health/penis/M… | My friend said this, i think it's stupid but is it possible? Ok, so i was telling my friend about a guy who wanted to have sex with me but he wanted to go raw (no condom). I told him that i wasnt too sure about that. So, i tell my friend, and she says that I shouldnt have worried because most asian guys dont have HIV. That seemed kinda dumb, because HIV and such doesnt skip a race. I told the guy that i had herpes and he didnt care. So, i was wondering if this has a ring of truth to it? The guy was korean but we're all from nyc. So i was wondering is it true that asians (japanese, korean, chinese) are less likely to have hiv/aids? I dunno, its just a statistical curiosity. | | It is not true. Aids/HIV is not limited or excluded because of a person's race or ethnicity because it is a diease that transmits from person to person usually through relations but not always. My recommendation is do not anything physical with this person for two reasons: 1-relations are meant to be special between two people who are married (my belief) 2-It seems he only cares about his needs and not yours. You deserve better. | Guy Exploitation in Bangladesh? Hi, my name is Danielle and I am a college student in Washington D.C. I have a term paper due next week, and as a part of the research..I have to collect raw data myself. I am asking if any of you have any experience or information on the ongoing struggle of guy sex trafficking and exploitation over in Bangladesh or any south asian countries?? If anyone could tell me any information, or share with me your experience...it would be greatly appreciated. I have to put this information in my paper so that I can receive a fair grade. Thanks so much. | I'm from Bangladesh and I have visited a few neighboring countries. The first thing you will notice on arrival that people are living in subhuman condition, like the Karachi or Mumbai slums. These conditions are ripe for guy trafficking. The severity of the guy sex trafficking and exploitation in Bangladesh is not known, but it is not as epidemic as in Nepal or even in Thailand, what we see from BBC and such documentaries.
However, when comparing the scenarios of the plight between Katmandu, Mumbai, Bangkok, Karachi and Dhaka I think the degrees may vary but the curse is ever present.
Our Ministry for the Ministry of Social Welfare & Women has conducted several studies which may be obtained from the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington DC. You may contact them and get some publication or printed matter for your project.
Hope above helps.
| Do you gays out there can answer my qustion(below)? My first question, what time, why, and how did you become gay,(for example were you started being gay in puberty, after puberty or you've been gay your whole life, why because of triats of a mother (possibilty), backround of your guyhood, because you can't get a girl and guys are your easy way of getting sex, and or date issues, and lastly how because you have friends, family, and community who excepts gays, you just "brother loved" someone, but then turned to true love, so on and so forth...) now, why I ask this is because I'm getting a huge sinking feeling that I might be gay, and I need some help from gays to give thier backround on their life and how they became to be in their state of being(gay), I'll give a little backround so you can truely help me, when u grew up I loved playing with any sort of Barbie thing when I was little (I did play with cars and trucks, boy stuff so on and so forth..., as I got older), now in my state being I am going through puberty I'm about 1-2 years of puberty, I don't care much to get pretend haircuts from my sisters, I don't care much if they put makeup on me (now I'm careful cause the other day I had to actually rub my face raw because of the amount of make up they put on me), and some guys in my grade(no girls not even the hot sexy ones) turn me on, (like I'm imaging about them and their body parts and their body, and stuff, only the good looking(hot) ones in my grade, that I think that are good looking guys), only I can't think of marreing them, only girls, so if any gays, (and in this matter anyone who kept on reading), could tell what they think who I could be then please do, also if you think that if it's a possiblity that I might be gay if thiers a way to turn striaght, or try to, thanks so much to everyone who stuck through and kept on reading, and to everyone one who answered (And NO I'm not against gays, I wouldn't mind having a varity of friends, gays, straights, mexican, black, Asian, white, so on and so forth...) | It is all of those factors you mentioned and maybe more, that creates the sexual identify of a person. No one really knows for sure if it's environmental, genetic or a combination. I just know that by the time I was 5, I new I was different. I didn't know then that I was gay, of course, but I knew that I was because I just felt different. As I grew older, I began to believe that I was in the wrong body - I felt more like my sisters than my brothers (large family), but didn't feel like a girl, either. Once I hit puberty - oh my - that's when the hormones really kicked in. I started feeling a lot of attraction to other guys. I found girls to be cute and entertaining, but I had no sexual feeling towards them at all. Just other boys. Eventually, I became sexually active with other guys and loved it. I started doing some research and found out that I was homosexual or "gay". Now, I am gay all the way. I am very happy, I have been in a long-term relationship with my partner for 8 years and if we could get married in our state, we would. We may go to Mass., just to get married, even though it wouldn't be recognized here. You are young yet and the only way to really find out is if you find guys sexually stimulating, you masturbate when thinking of other guys, you seriously only want to be with another guy. Give yourself some time yet. But eventually you will make a decision and realize who turns you on and who you most want to be with. Until then, enjoy being a teen. Focus as much as you can on school - that is what is most important right now! And when you are ready to experiment with another guy - that is when you will know what feels right for YOU. No one here can tell you if you are gay or not. But it sounds like you may be gay or even bi-sexual. Both are normal and okay. Try not to stress out about it - just take life as it is for now.
Great question and I'm very proud of you for asking it!
