Evolution

 

On the heels of Six's post, I ran across a new study reported by several news outlets pertaining to cock size. Published by the World Journal of Men's Health, the study included data from 55,761 men from all over the world. Studies were only included if measurements were done by an investigator. They excluded any that relied on self-reporting.



That was for two reasons. One, guys' measurements are unreliable (TBH, we lie), and two, there needed to be consistency in the way measurements are taken.

To properly measure your cock: Place a ruler or tape measure along the side of the shaft, from pubic bone to tip. If you use the top, you get a shorter distance; using the underside, you get a longer one.




IFL Science reported on February 16, 2023, Human penises are getting bigger at an alarming rate... and they state that might not be a good thing.

""Erect length increased significantly over time in several regions of the world and across all age groups," the team wrote in the study. "After adjusting for geographic region, subject age, and subject population; erect penile length increased 24 percent over the past 29 years".

That's an increase from 12.3 centimeters (4.8 inches) to 15.2 centimeters (6 inches) in just under three decades."





Environmental factors are most likely to blame.

"There could be a number of factors at play, such as chemical exposure, like pesticides or hygiene products, interacting with our hormonal systems. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals – there are many  exist in our environment and our diet," he said. "As we change our body's constitution that also affects our hormonal milieu. Chemical exposure has also been posited as a cause for boys and girls going into puberty earlier, which can affect genital development."


So, if your thoughts run toward "bigger is better," evolution is on your side.

I have never measured my dick and I don't think I will. I really don't care about my size??
I think I prefer average-sized dicks. One, they are more fun for a blow job and two, they are fantastic for fucking: a man just needs to reach the prostate (not fly by it) to provide enjoyment, so...

So younger generations are hung? Will have to try a twenty-five year old to test that theory...

XOXO

Bravo for your pictures.
Happy weekend, my friends Jean and Pat.

Thanks for the update. Weight can affect penis length. When you lose weight you will find that it appears to be longer because your abdomen is not pushing out as much. Love makes it the perfect size.

Gee, in 100 years I wonder what human penises will be like.

Big Dude said...

It's interesting to learn that our dicks are growing. I'd have guessed the opposite were true.

@ Hooter - Absolutely correct.

Lots of questions, are any regions staying the same size? How do they account for being semi-erect during measurement? (does being a grower differ than being a shower?) Since this was primarily for reproduction in the past, has that changed with birth control, and greater sexual activity in making a size difference. ( I'm sure people have had many more partners today than my grandparents did.)

Things to ponder, hugs and bisous. Happy Weekend.

We are also getting taller, larger (bones, organs) and heavier. Height can be linked to temperature increases (planet is warming); the warmer the climate the taller the people will be to keep the body cooler at warmer temperatures. Colder climates the people are generally shorter so they body is easier to keep warm.

Increased penis size could be in proportion to humans getting bigger in general.

As for puberty starting earlier; we see that with close friends kids. The oldest turned 13 and puberty hit him like a freight train. When we were that age we werent that far into it. Other couple all their kids started early too.

If they used volunteers in most of the surveys, then there is a problem of self selection, the bigger the penis the more you are willing to show it off.
in my early teens I had the biggest dick of all my friends (7 1/4 inches at early teens)
I had no problem on take it out and show off.
My friends with smaller dicks, where not so open, even if all of us where into group/circle and mutual jerk-off, they where self conscious to show it off easily.

I have lived en two European countries where nude beaches are official.
Even if the nudist idea and practice is for a non-sexual body acceptance, in general there is a very small number of small-dicked people (even at the gay beach section).

This kind of data will be more reliable is a whole community is checked along time, as an example the countries with military service where you test a full group at the same age.

Generally in the countries with obligatory military service medical checks, the doctors looks for hernias, hemorrhoids, and in homophobic countries, for signals that you are active bottom.

In my country of origin, I could had easily pop'ed my cherry at around 15 years old.
I waited until my early 20's years after the military recruitment tests age period had passed.
(I was was lucky to have a big myopia and declared non-recruit-able). And yes, they do search for bottoming signals.

In general any improvement on nutrition and general health for a given population will help.
When a body has all the nutrients and don't have to waste energy in fighting disease, then the body can use into growing parts that are not needed for survival.
When there a generalized hunger, that generation of children shows a stunted growth (including brain development and cognitive capacities).

On the other side, for a single population (i.e. the Dutch) is there a correlation between the median height increase and the penis length one? or with the Life expectancy?

How correlates the length increase with masturbation frequency and age of start masturbating?

is the increase rate (in %) with the big dick size countries (Sudan, both Congo, Ecuador) the same as for the smaller ones (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam)?
-see "https://worldpopulationreview.com"-

How to explain the half inch size difference between the genetically similar South and North Korea? By the North famines?

Is the increase rate for Vietnam, who has enormously improved his alimentary self-sufficient since the war, the same for Thailand which had had an stable economy for decades?

Which kind of underwear people uses?
Do people who go commando or wear a dhoti/kilt sport a longer penis in relation to people who of the same community who uses thigh underwear? Are the native Scottish kilt wearers longer dicked than the native British ones?
The same for sleeping naked to pajama wearers.

What is the size spread for full brothers?
Are identical twins equally sized? (at least the Peters and Mangiatti twins are)

By the way, SickoRicko (I follow you!), the countries with the tallest average height are reaching a height/growth plateau now.
With the penis size will be the same, after some length size, the blood flow will not be enough to keep it hard and penetrate (even with viagra) and fertize, so the chances to pass the "long dick genes" will be lower.

Fascinating, but it can't be evolution. Evolution takes much longer than 29 years (one generation). Evolution in one generation would require enormously powerful selection pressure, for example, something that killed off men with small penises so they couldn't reproduce, or women suddenly deciding worldwide not to have sex with men with small penises. Neither is plausible. The suggested cause, chemicals affecting the hormones of developing boys, sounds more likely. But that's environmental, not a genetic change, so it's not evolution.

The usual point of sex is orgasmic pleasure: we don't have an orgasm thinking about how big our genitals are, so size does not matter from that aspect.

If there are other aspects for which size is important and they are not simply meaningless bragging rights, then there are usually ways to overcome the hurdles and achieve the objective.

Men have a much larger brain in their big head that doesn't need to worry about size because it can reason why size need not be an obstacle.

I have a 10 years younger brother, and I surprised when I see he naked. He's bigger than me and my father!
