Data has revealed the average manhood size across a typical U.S. city – now everyone is making the same joke.
The viral Reddit post, claiming to depict the ‘estimated distribution of erect manhood lengths in a mid-size U.S. city,’ was posted to the ‘interesting as f***’ subreddit, and has sparked widespread debate online.
It purports to show p**is length data from a sample of 200,000 men, broken down into half-inch increments.
According to the chart, the most common size, with a peak at around 60,000 respondents, falls between 5 and 5.49 inches.
The second most populated category was 4.5 to 4.99 inches, followed by 5.5 to 5.99 inches in third place.
While some found comfort or even pride in the results, joking that the ‘statis**cks’ put them in a good mood, others were quick to raise red flags about the credibility of the study.
One Redditor quipped: “I’d love to see a study that compares the distribution of men’s self-reported sizes versus men’s actual sizes.”
And that’s exactly the issue.
The origin of the data remains unknown, and the Reddit post doesn’t reference who conducted the study or when it was carried out.
Without clear sourcing, many users doubted the reliability of the results, especially given the sensitive and often exaggerated nature of self-reported anatomical data.
Another user pointed out: “Self-reported measurements often yield higher averages than those taken by health professionals, with some studies showing men exaggerating their manhood size by up to 21%.”
Several commenters noted the psychological barrier that may deter men of smaller sizes from participating, even in anonymous surveys.
“Methodology would be relevant here,” one user added. “I would think guys on the shorter end of this might not be signing up for opportunities to have their d*** measured.”
There’s also the concern of measurement inaccuracy.
If the participants measured themselves, it’s possible that many didn’t follow a consistent or medically accepted process, leading to results that could be either inflated or underestimated.
The viral post, despite its questionable scientific rigor, has certainly struck a nerve and sparked conversations about self-image, honesty, and statistical reliability.
As one commenter aptly summarized: “This feels hard to believe but I guess I’m pretty big.”
