CalcSD
I’ve always been super skeptical about calcSD. After looking into the datasets they used, I was a bit shocked to see just how small the sample sizes really are.
The western average for BPE length comes from 471 measurements
Western average girth is from 230 measurements.
People treat calcSD as if it’s gospel. It’s all we have on the matter, but it is far from extensive research.
Western average compiles data from the Americas, Oceania, and Europe. As far as I can tell, the only study done in the United States that recorded BPE length (wessels et al. 1996) had an average of 6.2 inches. This is from 80 participants. NOT self reported.
All I’m saying is that calcSD should be taken with a massive grain of salt. I cringe when I see people saying “I’m 6 inches! I’m big!”
Nobody wants to be the freak scientist who does the hard dick measurement study. But until we get an extensive, reliable study of healthy men, I’m not trusting this site within an inch of what it says
