Is there an evolutionary reason for differences in dick size?

Christianity was invented so guys with little dicks could get laid

No.

Yes of course.

Dick size is a cruel joke played on human males.

If I had to guess, penis size is related to genetics, testosterone levels, and nutritional status during fetal development and puberty.

Penis development might be viewed as an indicator of both general health and genetic health, e.g., viability as a mate.

A very controversial theory is that penis size provided an advantage in reproduction.

" If I had to guess, penis size is related to genetics, testosterone levels, and nutritional status during fetal development and puberty. "

r5 And those guesses would be inaccurate.

When was the last time a researcher measured your dick? Anyone on DL ever have that happen? Do you know anyone who was part of such a study?

Of course not. That's why I don't believe those BS studies.

Showboats are genetic showboats.

The details are secondary.

It would make sense that races that evolved in tropical lands do not need to have highly retractive skin on the penis to avoid the danger of frostbite. (Frostbite of the penis is a real thing - look up Prince Harry). So, at least in the flaccid state, we'd expect many tropical men to have longer penises. Likewise, we'd expect people who have adapted to the arctic to have smaller penises in the flaccid state. How that translates into erect size is anyone's guess. The availability of central heating might affect that equation, given time. But evolution takes a lot of time, and humans have only moved out of Africa in the past 60,000 years or so, which is a nano-second in biological time.

I think it’s simple. You either end up with your dad’s dick, or that of one of your grandfathers.

The point of a dick is to get sperm into a vagina. It can be long or short as long as it can do what it is meant to do. Having one or the other size does not incur any advantage enough to thrive while the other becomes extinct.

There's just natural variation in size throughout the population, not evolutionary drive.

Evolutionarily speaking, you don't want it so big that the woman says,"Ow, get that thing out of me!" but not so small that the woman's like "No, what would I get out of it?" So around five or six inches is optimum.

Any evolutionary reason for the Sicilians and the reputed tendency to posses sizemeat?

The warm weather thing is a joke. If that were true, there would be a lot of Asians who live near the equator with huge dicks which we all know only happens as a fluke.

Dumb guys and skinny nerdy guys get big dicks, but average guys get average dicks. My guess is that they get big dicks to make up for their intellectual and social inadequacies.

[quote][R5] And those guesses would be inaccurate.

And clearly, r6, you have no idea what is accurate or inaccurate as "genetics, testosterone levels, and nutritional status during fetal development and puberty" are, in fact, what most research shows are the drivers of penis size.

I've seen really short height guys pack huge dicks so I don't understand it.

R12 you are stupid. It's 6 minimum for anyone. Anyone! And that's tiny.

R17 I knew a guy he was German/Scandanavian and maybe 5’4”. He had 8 and half hard ones.

You can never predict a big dick, never!

Even the bulge in pants can be misleading.

OP apparently doesn't recall that I covered this material in my Phrenology 101 lectures.

That's true, r20. I dated a guy who had a smaller dick than me but a bigger bulge. It was all balls.

[quote] Any evolutionary reason for the Sicilians and the reputed tendency to posses sizemeat?

R13 Hey, batchagaloop! We eat Sicilian sausage, need I say more?

There is a reason and it's an obvious one. Human females prefer to mate with males with larger penis sizes. However, in any culture in which the females couldn't readily see the penises of all the possibilities, or cultures where she couldn't choose her husband, then the larger penises are not chosen.

In Western culture, with the loosening of morals, women are now seeing a variety of men's schlongs and selectively mating with the bigger ones. The result is ever bigger penises in the more recent generations.

I can confirm, women really do care about penis size. I once worked in an all female design firm as the only male token gay. Think Designing women except more boring and corporate. Anyways, being on the pool of cubicles at the time, the young woman in front of me went on a date the night before. The others came by at one point to get all the details. Then suddenly the volume dropped. I could still hear what they were saying and basically they were asking about how big he was, and how thick it was. If that was happening to day they would be exchanging dating dick pics without the guys knowing. They are just as much whores as gay men.

Asian men generally have small penises because Asian women generally have small vaginas.

And small tits!

Penis size can be influenced by genes inherited from the mother’s X chromosome as well as the father’s Y chromosome. But more importantly, it’s a polygenic trait involving autosomal genes from both parents, so both sides of the family contribute.

Hello, brothers!

And I have had 2 Chinese fuckbuddies with very big cocks. And they were macho masculine types and kind of big framed dudes. One was generous but wan't interesting dating. But after he would destroy me he would cook for me then send me on my way satisfied, tummy and ass.

In recent decades, consumption of bovine growth hormones in dairy products by children is leading to earlier onset of menstruation and enlarged breasts (girls), and bigger penises (boys).

Big dicks are more desirable and therefore reproduce more. call it Darwinian Dicksection.

One of the bigger evolutionary advancements for humans was being able to fuck face to face - that way you had a 360 degree view of potential predators during this very vulnerable, important time. Longer penises were an advantage for reaching and successfully breeding a female in this position. I think human males have larger penises in proportion to their body size for this reason.

I don’t think this is necessarily true. We all know the stereotypes but I’ve seen plenty of Asian cocks that were normal sized, and even a Taiwanese guy with an enormous uncut schlong.

R33 doesn’t get that doggy style allows the male to get a better view of the surroundings. Upright, rather than prone.

He can’t be that dense? I’ll assume that his was an attempted shitpost.

Oops, I seem to have stumbled into a “Managing Your Prolapse” support group. I’ll see myself out.

[quote]You either end up with your dad’s dick, or that of one of your grandfathers.

Ain't it the truth?

The level of idiotic pseudoscience being bandied about as fact in this thread is fucking hysterical.

Never change, Datamorons!

What I don’t understand is the increase in size generally over the centuries. Unless it’s all to please gay men.

Almost all men’s erect cocks are about 1” long for every 13” of the guy’s height (plus or minus 10%)

The post about Asian vaginas being shorter is true. It follows that long penises on Asian men would not be necessary.

what about asian rectums?

All a penis needs to be is 3 inches to get a female pregnant regardless of the length of the vagina. Vaginas are quite short no matter what the ethnicity.

Ohhh I say [R30]…

Women and gay men generally value girth over length for sexual pleasure.

Wow. Let me throw a couple of facts into this swirling pool of pooh:

1. The desirability of a large penis is a cultural artifact, not a biological imperative. The reason all those Greek statues had tiny dongs is that the Greeks felt that a smaller penis was more aesthetically pleasing and more desirable -preferably with a long overhanging foreskin. Having a big dick was considered brutish and barbarian.

2. While the full range of penis sizes from micropenis to porn god is about 11 inches, in real life most men have around 5 inches, and statistically very few guys vary more than an inch from that one way or another. Again, culture plays a role in how eager men are to show off what they have. Six inches is on the larger size of average, but in today's culture men with six feel under endowed and hesitate to show it.

3. Almost all "studies" on this topic are anecdotal. There have been very few real, scientific studies that don't rely on men self-reporting. All the posts above are coming from people's anecdotal experience.

4. IF evolution favored bigger/longer/thicker dicks we would see a world-wide trend in bigger meat through the centuries. Since our ancestors were not as obsessed with size as we are, we just don't have any real data from which we could form an opinion. We're not even collecting statistically-valid data today!

Okay -back to the pointless bitchery.

It runs in families. My dad was hung, so are my brothers, their boys and I, and we all grew up in different countries with different diets, so I don't think it's the diet.

I recently dated a 6 ft guy with a mushroom cap penis. Maybe 4 inches when erect. We are no longer dating.

I'm a chaturbate aficionado and I just want to know how all those Latin guys get such fat cocks.

It’s not the length it’s how you use it 😂

[quote] I'm a chaturbate aficionado and I just want to know how all those Latin guys get such fat cocks.

Because their fathers had fat cocks and the local chicas chose to mate with them instead of the small fry.

I don't know the answer. But I do know that this issue requires further study. It will take many years and lots of late nights studying the evidence.

[quote]'m a chaturbate aficionado and I just want to know how all those Latin guys get such fat cocks.

Because most men who go into porn are larger than normal. That's where they get the idea, even if they are ugly looking or have a bad body as long as their cock is larger than normal, they can make some cash. No one goes into porn with average size meat unless total bottom.

That completely misses the pleasure button in women, dearest R45

Porn stars exaggerate their size. I saw one video where two guys were betting on who was bigger. Both are usually listed around 7". When they accurately measured, they were 5.5"-6".

If you're basing observations on what you see in porn, you must be too stupid to function at an adult level.

Uh, they measured with a ruler and showed the measurements.

[quote]I recently dated a 6 ft guy with a mushroom cap penis. Maybe 4 inches when erect. We are no longer dating.

R48. I hope when you split it was for another reason besides dick size, you shallow cunt. (Because I'm sure you're perfect.)

R58 = that 6 ft guy with the 4 inch dick

R35 neither the male nor the female can clearly see behind themselves when fucking doggy style - like every other animal on earth. And no one said the couple is prone. Standing up, against a tree or however, facing each other while fucking and having a 360 degree predatory view while copulating had a greater success rate in uninterrupted fertilization. And males with longer penises where able to me successfully penetrate a female in this position.

You've seen all your male family member rock hard, r47? I have two brothers and I couldn't tell you what their cocks look like.

You make no sense 60.

[quote]It runs in families. My dad was hung, so are my brothers, their boys and I, and we all grew up in different countries with different diets, so I don't think it's the diet.

Excuse me, but how do you know the penis sizes of your dad, brothers and (OMFG) nephews? That's concerning.

Do I have a little dick because I’m a bottom, or am a bottom because I have a little dick?

Let me know what you don’t understand r62 and I’ll try to explain it to you.

Does it really matter r64? Chicken or Egg.

Egg white whipped with a bit of water will cure those big zits on your bum.

I won’t measure mine. I don’t want to know. I don’t want this certainty.

The extra large dick sizes of today’s youth are frightening enough, but the constant need to keep increasing the size of gloryholes is unsettling.

Ahem, so do you send dick pics now to make sure in advance?

It's always so delightful when you stumble upon a big dick!

Yeah, what's up with that? In my day Glory Holes are cock size round holes, not portholes you can almost shove you whole face through.

R68 you're 5.96 inches

I think it's so the sucker can get a look at the other guy's body before he decides if he's suck-worthy, r71

A gloryhole host on Sniffies declined to invite me over because I'm 20 lbs overweight. Seems to violate the spirit of a gloryhole but whatever. His loss because I have a nice cock.

My mouth is more accurate than a ruler.

Mine only gets to about 6 1/2 and I am tall. I practically had to beat away the Asian guys when I went to the baths.

Or beat them off...

The average erect penis is 5.1 inches.

(Stop watching so much porn and you'll know better.)

Where are you guys finding glory holes these days????

Sex clubs and private homes, r78

Lack of sexual competition in isolated Asian countries led to mass tinymeat.

Cocks are small in Italy, on average. I get intimidated when I see XXL only on a profile then realize that’s about 7”. Men tend to have small uncut penises. And if it is big, it’s grotesque in some way like a penis head the shape and size of a red apple or balls the size of a cantaloupe.

I've had many experiences with Italian and Italian-American men and it's been the opposite. They've almost all been hung.

Yeah, I can attest.

Italian American maybe the difference. I live in Italy and find small dicks to be the average.

I guess nobody here is going to touch on black when and the fact they are always hung. Sub Saharan African heat must have something to do with it, as it gave them wiry hair as well.

[quote] You've seen all your male family member rock hard, [R47]? I have two brothers and I couldn't tell you what their cocks look like.

R61 No, but we've all talked about it. I remember seeing one of my brothers asleep one morning when we were in our 20s and he was sporting a giant hard on. One of my nephews is gay and has shared. So I know.

Just imagine a bevy of naked Nigerian young men interspersed in that Korean Spa video at R80 !! The humiliation alone might be overwhelming.

THAT is what the OP question is trying to address.
