Selected Records of Sex

Next time you´re on a party and you have no idea what to tell your listeners you´ll delight every conversation with this amazing array of info on everyone's favourite subject: Sex.

The largest penis

There's a great variety in the size of flaccid penises, but there's less difference when they're hard because smaller penises enlarge more during erection. So how big is the biggest? One problem is who is to do the measuring. If men measure their own organs they are likely to exaggerate the results: it is not an area in which there are abundant objective surveys. According to Wardell B. Pomeroy, a Kinsey co-worker, the longest penis encountered was ten inches. This figure accords quite well with the results of the special Forum survey into penis size. In this careful and detailed survey, published in 1970, the largest penis was found to be 9½ in. in erection, hardly able to compete with the vast organs of pornographic fiction. In an earlier inter-racial survey, Dr. Jacobus's 1935 publication - "L'Ethnologie du Sens Genitale", larger dimensions were recorded. In this survey, organs nearly 12 in. in length are reported. Of all penis sizes quoted in the literature the largest is unquestionably the 14 inches erect organ mentioned by Dr. David Reuben in "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex". The largest well attested penises would seem to be between ten and twelve inches in the erect state. Concerning shape: 25% of all penises bend in some direction. Even when erect some bend downward...

The smallest penis

The greater majority of men think that they have a penis much below the average in size. Perhaps they should console themselves with the thought that many men have extremely diminutive organs. Pomeroy states that the smallest penis encountered in the Kinsey surveys was 1 in. long In the Forum study the smallest erect penis was found to be 4.75 in. in length, quite large compared with many of the specimens that do exist. There are instances reported in the medical literature of penises that do not exceed 1 cm. in full erection: such organs are sometimes labelled with the appropriate term "micropenis". And even 1 cm. is not the smallest-sized penis known to medical researchers. There is a condition known as congenital hypoplasia, where the body of the penis is totally absent and the glans is attached to the pubic region.
