If penis size doesn't matter, why is there such little variation in penis size?

First let me apologise for breaking the unwritten GAG rule of never asking a penis size question.
Logic dictates that the less size is important the greater the range we'd expect to see. We would also expect to see a greater spread across the whole size range. That is if penises ranged from 1 to 10inch we'd expect 10% of men to fall in each inch category.
But we DON'T. The average size is 5.5 and the vast majority of men fall within one inch of this. This regulatory can only have evolved if penis size was important.

  • I don’t know why I waste my time on your questions but this is just broke. Your logic is an oversimplification. Every Brit girlfriend had a too short vagina so I would agree that 6” is probably a good size over there. Every girlfriend that I had that was from the Dinaric Alps region, which is where my genes are from, had deeeep vaginas. So trying to do and oversimplified curve/data fit on such a diversified range of body types and women frames of different ethnicities is complete bull$hit. Also, in addition when these penis studies are conducted it is across ethnicities so given the diversity combined with basic differing population distributions the data turns out to be a normal distribution which will present real statistics associated with size completely unrelated to “importance”. This is why when it comes to sexual compatibility there is nothing better than your own ethnicity because they are usually made to fit the best. This I found to be true. You need enough dick to feel her bump otherwise a big dick will come along clean out the short dick’s sperm and put his right where it needs to be put. Evolution! That is why the glans evolved in that wiper clean out shape -some theories claim this.

    • Any other areas of the world that have deeper vaginas interesting

  • It isn't that penis size is important, but the orifice it is designed to go into... Is only so deep... Get too long a penis, and all of it isn't going to fit into said orifice (the vagina). The range isn't very vast because again... The penis is designed for reproduction and waste removal. It's hard to reproduce if the male can't get off inside the... Would be mother.
    Penis size really only matters because humans happen to enjoy sex (both male and female) and unlike most species on the planet, we have sex outside of a reason to procreate.

  • It does matter but it's not length that counts it's the girth
    It's the girth that stretches our walls and makes us orgasm
    Guys keep in mind these 3 things
    The vagina is only 6 to 7inches deep
    The g spot is about only 2 to 3 inches in
    And for the guys with small dicks compensate you can rock her world in other ways, such as; good oral, good foreplay during sex, or even anal sex

    • This is such a great response! These are very important facts to know! Nice!

    • These boys better learn

    • I could agree with you, but there's a problem, and this problem is called Size Queens. For them, that numbers above doesn't exist, so that's why many men doesn't agree with that data above, specially the mid 30's men, because they know that numbers doesn't make the difference into mid 30's women

  • I don't care what anyone says penis size matters. There's such thing as too little and too big. If he's too small or too big all he has to do is excel at other things such as oral and he could make a girl very happy. Most women don't orgasm from penetration alone fellas.

    • For the most part that's correct, but there are women who REALLY want PIV sex, and went to get off from it. To the degree where they won't be satisfied unless they are actually fucked.

    • @closethoe but too small and too big are based on the individual woman…there isn’t an objective too small or too big…

  • Most people neglect the penis area while moisturizing and it always surprises me. I've been using a penis health creme for years to avoid any skin cracks, dryness, redness or irritation. My johnson has always been soft, smooth and the ladies seem to dig it. Find one that has vitamins, essential ingredients and you'll thank me later.

  • Size matters, how you use it matters much more. There's a reason I can call up so many women I slept with a year, a decade ago and have a warm bed for the night. Hell, maybe a friend of hers as well. Ladies do talk...

    • Please don't get angry with me for saying this, but I've heard that all the way through HS and college. And never once have I agreed. I've had my fair share of very attentive lovers. And I'd say the technique of several of them was stupendous. But, and I feel guilty for saying this, a lazy guy with a thick gun just reaches places no excellent technique can. Wish I felt different. And it's just my opinion. Peace.

    • I don't feel offended at all, part of life is realizing there are people out there I just can't please and accepting it, no harm no foul... I'm probably correct in assuming you're not attracted and probably wouldn't be attracted to me in the first place lol

    • @razelove You're very open-minded and respectful of different opinions (from what I've seen). I think those are extremely attractive characteristics and I'm far more attracted to personality and fit (with me) than how big a guy's biceps are or what the measurement of his manhood is. Besides, it sounds like you have a lot of happy women from your past you're still friends with. Congrats, brah!

  • Maybe penis size does matter (come on, we're not really seriously considering that it doesn't are we?) BECAUSE there's so little variation. So small differences can be perceptually significant.

    • Whats your perfect size?

    • @aiahz well it doesn’t matter if you can’t orgasm from penetration anyway…

  • Penis size and whether it matters has nothing to do with the statistical spread of sizes.

  • 2 inches here

  • penis size doesn't matter in the same sense that throwing speed doesn't matter in a game of catch. Yes, it is more thrilling to catch at long distances, and yes it is just as difficult to catch a ball close up. But ultimately, it's the return throw that matters, and guys generally regard sex as "target practice" more so than a game of catch..

    • Whaaaaaaaaaa?

  • Bc it matters, they lied to you.

    • @YellLow Or maybe they just aren’t shallow hoes

  • how do you figure the 10% part? if big penises were more desirable for different species, females might only choose males with big penises, and then runaway selection could occur, where the preference genes and the penis genes are profligate. however, in human society, select men don't impregnate many women. even if women have big penis preferences, they "tolerate" more average sizes. or size could not be so important as you say.

  • Could it be that it's because of un-natural selection? ---> due to human (cultural) breeding preferences certain 'sizes' had been favoured and over time these genetical traits had been forwarded more often than the 'exceptions'.

  • It is the thickness that does the job, not the length.

    • I was just about to say that lol

    • Agree!

    • OK, and what's your minimal thickness size for you?

  • I don't know. I just know that cavemen had bigger dicks and that I'm above average.
    Though from THIS website, it seems the average size is 7 in.

  • it does matter. everything else is politically correct nonsense.

  • Most dont orgasm from penetration because most men dont know how to. I do. If i ever get married ill write an instruction manual.

  • It definitely doesn't matter to me lol

  • Personally I'm good with my size I think.
    Length 7"
    Girth 5.5"

  • i feel like penis matters and there is large variations in sizes

  • Well, that happens because most of it, duo the men's insecurity, because of that infamous question: ''Does size matters?'' Also, the porn industry increases the insecurity over the last few years, so, probably that's why the huge amount of questions about the size

  • What I've heard that the girls love thick penis more than long penis, even it's make them happy but they will still need more thick than before. To be satisfied.

  • I agree. I can't think of anything else that needs to be said.

  • Because there is so little variation in pussy length...
