We know when it's considered a micropenis, but when does it become a "macropenis"?

By definition, a micropenis is a penis that is smaller than 2.75 inches while erect (2.25 inches smaller than the average US penis), but when does a penis become a macropenis?

Would it follow that same rule of 2.5 standard deviants from the norm?
-Which would be (Standard Deviant = 0.825) (2.5 srandard deviants = 2.0625), macropenis is 7 inches or larger.

Or would it be based on percentage of occurance, which is estimated as roughly 0.14 - 0.6% of the general population?
-Which would be roughly 7.5 - 8.125 inches as the starting point.

Personally, I have to think it follows the rule of percentage of occurance, but I am wondering what others thoughts on this are.

  • Part of the problem is there is a minimum in the variation (0) and no maximum (though I think the longest proved is 13"). It skews the bell curve. The midpoint between proven maximum and minimum would be 6.5" even though that is more than the average.

    • Well to be fair, there is no minimum, and only a relative maximum. It is impossible for a penis to have 0 inches of length, and therefore there is an asymptote at 0 inches, and only a relative maximum asymptote at 13.5.

    • Another maximum would probably be the amount of blood required to be diverted for an erection. I would think for example, three pints would pretty much be out of the question.

    • If my calculations are correct a 15" penis with a circumference of 7" (it's going to have to be pretty thick not to buckle) assuming 3" is inside the body and 85% of the erect volume is supplied by blood, would take about three pints to fill. Which is probably why there aren't any. Yay science!

  • I'd say rate of occurrence so 7.5 - 8.1. It should be a independent variable and not related to micro. Because all this is based on the norm anyway right?

    • Also, there are abnormal cases in which a penis can be abnormally large. It's a ultra rare condition. Far more rare than a micro penis.

  • Men really need to find something else to do besides obsess over their dicks, you're getting as a bad as women and their breast size obsession.

    • At least it isn't as bad as women and their weight obsession yet.

    • Oh god, very true. "I'm 5'7" I weigh 100lbs, am I fat?" lol

  • What 8inches is like my favorite length and for me thats like average, a macropenis is more like 12nches!! lol nah from 10-12 haha

    • 8 inches is average?

    • @love2run13…8 inches isn’t average in any country except maybe upper end of average in Sudan…

  • There is a 31% chance that I understood the question a 17% chance I cared and a 100% chance I an just typing this for Xper point.

    • The reason why you bothered answering is 1/∞

  • When girls say, "Oh my goshhhh!!! :o " It becomes a macropenis

    • The majority of girls say that regardless of size. It's a common courtesy, just like saying she's tight no matter what.

    • Umm then why are you worrying about the size then? :P Ask a biologist if you're seeking some knowledgable reply :D

    • Clearly that's what I should have done.

  • ... Macro would be a size so large no woman would be able to fit it. And there are guys out there like that.

  • I love that
    1) you took the statistical approach
    2) I have a macropenis no matter how you divy up the results!

  • Hey! That means I have a MacroPenis? Because I am above your upper limit? Nice

    • There is 0.14% chance you aren't full of shit. And I really don't care.

    • Well I am in that 0.14%. Why did you ask a question if you were going to be a dick about people answering it.

    • I asked a question regarding opinion of how to measure, not what your measurements are. You did not answer the question, you bragged about your penis.
