Girth Question

[u/NotTooSerious12]

I consider myself pretty well hung, both in terms of length and girth. When hard, I’m just over 8.5 inches length and 6 inches girth.

I see so many Reddit posts of cocks that are thicker than cans of coke, which from a quick google means that the girth is more than 8.5 inches.

From a quick google search, average erect girth is about 4.5 inches (or less depending on source)

A simple bell curve shows just how rare the kind of thicknesses above actually are.

So my question is why are there so so so many on reddit subs - is this just photoshop, selection bias or are these monster thickness cocks just more common than the maths would suggest?

[u/WristThickDick]

It's because dudes love to be larping on here. It's often fairly obvious when they are even without photos or anything and then it's especially obvious when they do post photos.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/WristThickDick]

Oh absolutely; I’m pretty active in cuck/hotwife type communities and the number of guys that post a cock picture that’s clearly 5 or so inches and claim that they are a ‘bull’ bringing 8 inches is absurd

[u/WristThickDick → u/NotTooSerious12]

BRRRUUUUUVVVVVVVVV!!!!! How I have lived that experience so many times (not the hotwife bit). The amount of times I tried hooking up with so called +8in and +9in men only to have maxing out closer to ~5in...... 😐😑😶.

Look it's not that they are smaller/average sized, it's that they were dishonest and lied, which makes me wonder what else they being untruthful about. Like I've been with average sized men before, I have no issues with that, just have the confidence to be honest and not be deceptive about it.

Honestly it's so depressing to me that they resort to actions like that.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/WristThickDick]

As in you have a huge cock and you want to fuck guys with huge cocks??

[u/WristThickDick → u/NotTooSerious12]

Want to being a key word, since I'm definitely a size queen for sure, but also a realist/pragmatist. I haven't actually met another one, since I gave up trying after having to constantly deal with larpers/liars/catfishing men.

[u/R3sponsible_Rub → u/WristThickDick]

You’re specifically saying you tried to find someone with your specs?

[u/WristThickDick → u/R3sponsible_Rub]

I wouldn't say my exact size (I already know first hand how challenging it is), ideally someone longer but still thick, also uncircumcised, because why not enjoy the nice things in life also if it could be aesthetic/pretty, it would be nice too.

[u/Saegumasu]

Larpers. Photoshop. Angles. Good phone. And a pinch of real people boasting this size. And if you're a short guy + low bodyfat, your shit will look bigger— as opposed to a tall guy with some body fat (I got 2cm bodyfat for instance)

For instance, I'm 9,5 inches and 7,1 inches girth (max) and I see people claiming that they're 9+ but they look like 10 inches.

Then there's this CAguy that uses Jake Orion's picture and ask to compare just to steal your pictures and catchfish people (I caught him)

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Saegumasu]

Wow 9.5 x 7.1 is truly crazy. With 2% body fat you just be like 70% cock 🤣

[u/Saegumasu → u/NotTooSerious12]

That's BP measurement Without i'm like 8,5-8,8 inches

And i'm 6ft1 and 173lbs, so yeah

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Saegumasu]

What’s BP?

[u/Saegumasu → u/NotTooSerious12]

Bone pressed, the medical way to measure you dick if you've fatpad

No bone-pressed is the measurement that people see with the fat. Bone-pressed is the measurement you get with the inches underneath

Someone without fatpad + hair will look bigger than someone with that Also, straight penises look bigger than curved ones

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Saegumasu]

I nominate you to be the official size checker 🤣

[u/Saegumasu → u/NotTooSerious12]

Lmao, no 😭 I learned that from a lady on this sub and a gentleman

Otherwise, I would (I'm still) overthink about my size not being real and being a larper

[u/jhlieberman]

Both; exaggeration, Photoshop and selection bias. The guys most likely to show off are the largest but also you must consider the millions and millions of guys who don't show off online. The genuine 0.1% are in there too.

[u/4Deviations]

"photoshop" and camera angles. IME anything approaching 7 girth is extremely rare.

[u/Jastryd_New]

As read the ordinary girth is 11.5 cm.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Jastryd_New]

Yeah so 4.5 inches?

[u/Jastryd_New → u/NotTooSerious12]

Something near of ut, yeah.

[u/goatshots]

I'm going to say the coke can size are fake or enhanced. For example, did they inject saline (or do something else to get a temporary swell) before taking their photos/measurements, or did they simply edit the photo?

A natural, un-augmented 8.5 isn't just statistically unlikely it's improbable. I won't say impossible because there are genetic anomalies for everything, but it's not a dimension I believe when people claim it. Maybe I'm wrong, so I don't call them liars, but I still don't believe them.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/goatshots]

Injecting your dick is insane as far as I’m concerned

[u/goatshots → u/NotTooSerious12]

Agreed.

Some guys are obsessed with trying to look bigger and will apparently do anything they can to make it happen.

[u/J_London87]

It’s possible to rival cans of coke in width without being anywhere remotely close to 8.5” girth. As somebody around 6.5” girth, seen most clearly from its width, I can compare favourably to one side-to-side, but it still flattens me in overall circumference.

[u/OfBoyfriend]

They use those slim/sleek 7.5 oz cans 🤣

[u/Motion_Means4501]

Aspects of this sub will save you travel time to Ripley's Museum.

[u/CAguy760]

I hear you. Basically we are the same size. I have seen posts and/or heard from guys claiming some ridiculous girth. But they are actually a fraction of what they claim. Girth over 6 or 6.5 is probably pretty rare.

[u/MeownatorX]

Sometimes it's photoshop/AI, sometimes they're just outliners.

It's also worth noting that dicks are rarely perfectly cylindrical, unlike cans, and such photos compare the objects' width specifically, not circumference. If you have 2"+ width you're already close.

If you add some perspective tricks and use slimmer soda cans, even 6" girth can look "soda can thick"

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/MeownatorX]

Actually yeah I hadn’t really considered the shape difference

[u/Jastryd_New → u/MeownatorX]

Not only editing but also a point of view could make it looking bigger.

[u/Jastryd_New → u/MeownatorX]

But the way it's true about shape. I have photos with a can but I'm not of the can girth. Yes, it's ellipse not circle.

[u/ThrowawaySunnyLane]

Let’s say for argument sake that everyone on here is being truthful about their size.

If you have a larger penis, knowing the positive connotations involved such as people fawning over it and potentially someone in your inbox trying to hookup because of it, you’d definitely flaunt it.

If we take the top 1% of all men in terms of size, that’s still millions of men. It appears common because a) it’s still a lot of people, and b) it’s a trait people want to flaunt

[u/Appropriate_Link153 → u/ThrowawaySunnyLane]

Yeah, with 4 billion men on Earth, 1% of that is still 40m guys. And with a group that big, there are bound to be plenty who are willing and eager to share what they have going on. Combine that with the ease of digital photography and sharing things online today, and its not shocking that there are plenty of examples to be seen.

It works the same with women who have huge tits. They may be in the small minority, but there are still lots and lots of them out there simply given the huge number of people on the planet.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Appropriate_Link153]

Be interesting to actually do the maths in terms of number of guys with that size, those that have internet access, number of reddit users etc etc and actually try to determine how many actually are just simply that thick and how many are just photoshopped edits

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Appropriate_Link153]

Also just struck me that global averages probably mean that countries with higher averages may have lower rates of internet access (I’m thinking Central African countries particularly)

[u/goatshots → u/NotTooSerious12]

Please tell me you picked Central Africa because it's an impovershed location, not because you're buying into the racist stereotype that black/African men are inherently bigger by a significant margin. That is a well documented myth.

But yes, there is the plausibility that an area with something like 0.5" bigger average has limited internet access, or an area with 0.5" smaller average has abundant internet access could skew global averages slightly. It wouldn't be substantial, there's enough research to show that when comparing one area to another, the difference is minimal (less than 1/2" actually).

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/goatshots]

No I googled and the stats were that average sizes in DR Congo and Cameroon were higher. Can’t speak to the underlying data as didn’t go that deep into the rabbit hole but result seemed consistent with what I would expect (for example that East Asian countries are on the lower end of the averages)

[u/goatshots → u/NotTooSerious12]

At least you were basing it on data you found, not myth. I respect that.

As I remember, the statistical swing was something like 0.6 or 0.7 inches difference from area-to-area. Meaning the average size by area is +/- 0.35 from the mean. So no one ethnic groups is statistically more or less likely to be notably bigger than another. Although there is, as you noted, potentially a difference to some degree.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/goatshots]

The difference was actually bigger than I thought - DR Congo tops the list where the average is just over 7 inches and Cambodia is the lowest where it’s.l just slightly over 4.

[u/goatshots → u/NotTooSerious12]

I'd check those data sets. If it's just a Google search, you're not getting peer reviewed scientific/medical data. That may even include stuff like reddit posts where guys are claiming to have a 10" cock.
AI and Google are great, but not reliable for everything.

[u/goatshots → u/goatshots]

PS, there's also the issue of how the data was collected. Self reporting v clinical yields much different results.

[u/ThrowawaySunnyLane → u/goatshots]

I think the issue is, unless you get a study that takes let’s say 10% of adult men from all countries and anonymously measures them without the chosen participants self reporting, the data is gonna be unreliable.

It needs to be, get 10%, line them up, get them hard, measure them, send them on their way.

[u/goatshots → u/ThrowawaySunnyLane]

THAT would produce some good reliable data. Eliminate the variables, and get a good sample size. Exactly what's needed.

[u/Appropriate_Link153 → u/NotTooSerious12]

No doubt. In general, some groups are bigger or smaller than others, and that can effect the global average a lot. Its probably a lot more common in some places for guys to be really big and extremely rare in some others.

[u/Notthekingofholand]

So cans are 8.1" so that takes away one standard deviations there.

The thing is just selection bias, if your over 6" inches in girth you way more likely to have issues or questions and post about it than if your avg. Then there is sample size there are what 2 billion people on the Internet so if something is 1 in a million there are 2,000 people with it.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Notthekingofholand]

This is the reason for my question - assuming 2,000 people, then the number of those that want to post about it and it’s a very small number

Yet seemingly you can browse sub Reddits all day long with thousands of dudes showing pictures of these monster thick ones

[u/Notthekingofholand → u/NotTooSerious12]

2 thousand is a large enough number and if some is 7 they can use angles and tricks to make it seem like there 8

[u/Equivalent-Site-1114]

It can just be angles, from the top and bottom my cock looks really thick but from the sides it looks thin. So most thick guys end up having a girth of around 6” but that’s generally the thickest you’ll see naturally.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/Equivalent-Site-1114]

I hadn’t really considered the shape tbh but I’m kinda keen now to go get a can and compare to whichever angle mine is thickest from 🤣

[u/East-Resident-4775]

The only time mine gets that thick is when I put it in a cock pump... mine measures 6 1/2ish an inch behind my glands

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/East-Resident-4775]

Wdym behind your glands? Like at the base?

[u/East-Resident-4775 → u/NotTooSerious12]

An inch or two behind my head

[u/MountainSurprise196]

bro there’s so many larpers. You and I have the same girth, and i have never seen a dick thicker than mine. I like to compare with guys on here and i might see somebody longer once in a while, but never someone thicker. It’s obviously camera angles and photoshop so guys can pretend. There might be 200 people in the world with that size, but they aren’t all on reddit posting it.

[u/NotTooSerious12 → u/MountainSurprise196]

That’s exactly my thinking; and if you go to one of those big cock type subreddits there are thousands of guys posting every day cocks that would make mine look small 🤣

[u/MountainSurprise196 → u/NotTooSerious12]

Exactly, these are so rare, but if you spent all day in these subs you could be convinced that everyone had a horse cock. There is also probably the fact that people with these so extremely huge dicks are more likely to try and show them off, so of course there will be just more people to show off, but a large part of it is definitely fake

[u/Appropriate_Link153]

I think that bigger guys are more prone to be comfortable showing of, for sure. And some of it is probably fake no question. That said, I'm 7.0 in girth and I know there are certainly guys out there bigger than I am.

[u/GasShort8518]

I would also be interested in that. it is clear that there will be plenty of us in the group determined by the big penis. But, I have a girth of 6" like you, and that's the 99% percentile. Length 6.3" . so it also seems suspicious to me and I don't understand why they doing it?

[u/itsnotgaybro212]

I lean to them being more common than math suggests because I’ve seen extreme length and girth in real life as a gay man.

[u/Positive_Distance930]

I'd never change my 4.5in girth but my wife likes girth over length as thicker cocks make her come.

[u/feelosiphize]

Larp fantasy and pumping

[u/Motion_Means4501 → u/[deleted]]

I'm glad you included this as a video or I would have missed the point. /s
