Does Size Matter? We Hope Not

EDIT: It has been brought to our attention that this map, which has been all over the internet recently, is either highly flawed or entirely fictitious. Since some of the data appears to have come from a company hawking penis extenders, and some appears to be coming from this dubious web page, we encourage you not to draw any conclusions from the map.

The only thing we’re left wondering is “Why does this page continue to get viewed so much?”

Click the map to get a full-size version of the world, colored according to the average penis size of every country.

Finally, we’ve found something that Finland isn’t good at.

The five most well-endowed nations are:

The United States ranks somewhere in the lower-middle of the world penis-size rankings. The average American man has a penis length of 5.1 inches. South Korea is the most poorly endowed nation, coming in at 3.9 inches. Cambodia, Thailand, India, and Burma round out the bottom five.

    World Wars I & II finally make sense !
    In fact…..the Most colorful areas are the areas of the most conflict.
    If we mandate universal penis size will we end agression?

    • Patrick says:

      I can’t tell if you’re colorblind, ignorant of history or have a terrible sense of humor, but it’s one of those three and I hope it’s the first, as that’s the most excusable.

  2. david says:

    I think we need to measure tongue length and flexibility… you know… Even best of two.

    I’m just sayin’.

    *licks eyebrows*

  3. Robert says:

    I see a pattern. The longer the penises, the less likely a man will be sent to the store to buy tampons.

  4. G. says:

    this is bull**** latin man from colombia or venezuela or even brazil… mexican man have big ones?? haha latin man have small ones…maybe a notch bigger than asians…. european are the biggest

    • Moe says:

      I disagree with you… I’m very well travelled.. and kinda experienced:-)

      • G. says:

        I am very well travelled, and i am originally from Colombia….. there is no way this is true.. i dont care what anybody says. Ecuadorian man of 5’1” have big d*cs is totally ridiculous….. white americans and black americans are at least 1 in bigger in average… at LEAST…. white europeans are bigger….. than all… so this is false… i’ve been with polish,german, russian and otherss and they was hung like horses.. very unlike latin man…. the smallest one i ever saw came from a brasilian ewwww

    • joe says:

      your hatin cuz u have a dwarf penis..dnt deny it hahah

  5. Mrs Patrick Campbell says:

    So the Congo is the only place in the world with average (over 7 inches hard) length meat?

  6. Gaucho says:

    And I thought American’s were the biggest wankers!

  7. Drakman says:

    I cannot help but notice that the guys with the smallest dicks own most of the world and it’s weapons/resources (at least for the moment).

    The guys with the biggest peckers are still waiting to find out about toilet paper and indoor plumbing.

    Lesson?
    A cumbersome wang will make you complacent, lack the motivation for world domination, and far less innovative on the whole.

    My cock is so short, I drip pee on my balls.

    Baby dicks – FTW!

  8. sole says:

    The truth is that 7 inches is still pretty small.. don’t you think so ladies???

  9. Carolina bruni says:

    I believe this is the map that women where looking for.
    From my experience, men from Guayaquil, Ecuador have the biggest penis.
    I’ve dated only one Guayaquileño and was enough to get me marry to him.

  10. bignotbest says:

    this is retarded, im from vancouver canada and just cause were away from the u.s. by a few miles our penis’s somehow are bigger? i wish !

    • joe says:

      its different in canada cuz in usa theres alot more men from asian and india countries and that obviously brings down the average penis size for us americans

  11. Phnom Phlegm says:

    And equally small, the vaginas. Look for us at number one in the small vagina study. Cambodia!

  12. McDuff says:

    Poorly sourced and race essentialist. Well done, whoever thought this should get published. Associating the site with this kind of sub-drunken, quasi-racist dribble is *exactly* the message you want to get across, I’m sure.

    • Henry Vandenburgh says:

      Sorry, “essentialism” is a fairly empty term. Part of the post-modernist lexicon– and PM is actually anti-intellectual, in spite of the impenetrable rhetoric. This page is basically in fun, I think, but there are racial differences, including ones that make certain people faster sprinters, etc. Penis size can differ racially, although there is tremendous genetic variation is Africa (as compared to other places) so one might expect greater range as well. I’m somewhat persuaded by r-k differences. Racism is discussing unattractive and untrue characteristics by race. The current fashion of saying citing any physical as racist robs the term of meaning.

  13. keepinitreal says:

    people often incorrectly cite a Korean study that measured flaccid stretched penises, not erect ones.

    http://www.asiaandro.com/archive/1008-682X/5/185.htm

    “2.2 Measurements

    The flaccid penile length was measured in a warm quiet room. The penile length was defined as the distance from the pubo-penile skin junction atthe dorsum to the tip of the glans. The suprapubic fat thickness was defined as the thickness of the fad-pad when the examiner firmly compressed up to the pubis symphysis at the pubo-penile junction. The stretched length was measured after maximum penile stretching at the first attempt. A rigid ruler was used, except for the penile circumference, to avoid measurement error due to penile curvature. The mid-shaft circumference was measured with a tape.”

    I’m not saying Koreans have monster dongs, but the 9.6 cm figure thrown around is not accurate due to the measurement method. In reality, I suspect they have the same size as the Japan/China numbers from the region.

  14. elle says:

    FYI i’m a female and a man’s height does not affect their penis size (I know from experience) there’s been times when i’m about to hook up with a 6’0 guy and have been disappointed by their below average 5in dong and there’s been times when a 5’7 guy surprises me by havin a 7 in …you just never know until u see it haha

    • short = :D says:

      I’ve found it to be inversely proportionate, with Caucasian men anyway…short guys = BIG and tall guys are usually averageish. Fat guys are always tiny tho ;)

    • Cunning Linguist says:

      Hmm… sounds like you’re quite the informed cock whore. Keyword: whore.

  15. atom says:

    what about the filipinos? no figure about us?

  16. Fail says:

    …looks like Elle and Ana have a toucoln tunnel syndrome…lol The map is bunk,measure everyone or fail……

  17. Henry Vandenburgh says:

    The basic driver of penis size is the contrast between social situations that favor r versus k mating strategies. In circumstances (such as in the tropics) where monogamy is less likely, penises are larger so that sperm can be deposited more deeply and the shovel-shaped glans can evacuate competitive semen. In northern climates where monogamy is socially selected because of the relative harshness on the environment, penis size can be smaller, because there is less chance of competition at the level of mating.

  18. I wonder what people in Sudan eat? LOL

  19. sean says:

    It’s nice to see that the good man project examines such important topics.

  20. Still not sure I’d want to be born in the Congo. I think I’m gonna survive with what I’ve got. I can always try pulling on it more often to see if that helps.
