I think they disagree because not having a micropenis (in the medical sense) doesn't imply that you are above average.
Assuming penis length is distributed normally exactly 50% of people are below average. If you remove 0.15‰ from that you are practically still left with about 50% that don't have a micropenis and are below average.
What if 90% of people have the exact average length, and the rest are the bell curve?
Nice though experiment, but doesn't hold up to scrutiny on many levels (not meant in a condescending way, just to spinn that thought experiment further)
First, we can't even agree on how/what to exactly measure with penis length. Even if we fixed that, the actual distribution itself doesn't have buckets (like size ranges) but would contain all data points individually. If we measure with unreasonably high precision and assume that penis length is a real (in a mathematical sense) number than there is a 0% chance that two people have the same penis length and there would be no person that has an exactly average penis length.
Stepping back from this thought experiment, there is data for penis length and the standard deviation is wider than most people would expect, it's far from 90% being average unless your average bucket is something like 5-20cm
I didn't talk my penis. But I'm certain yours is small.
Edit: whoa whoa whoa, I'm not sure what I said in context. But I did NOT mean to insult you like it sounds!
Homie, there is no swaying me.
Someone felt bad about themselves and I presented them with a counter.
Fuck it, maybe I have a micro peen? And I was just trying to help out a fellow homie.
Edit to add: doesn't matter if they do or not!
What's important is it not being fucking important!
Edit edit: I think that last line is one of coolest things I ever typed.
Being swayed by facts is not a bad thing
Oh, my bad.
Is there suddenly a large influx of small dicked people?
You tried, damn. People getting mad about dicks up in here
I'm not mad about dicks. I'm mad about misuse of statisdicks.
That's funny AF!
I'm using this comment to say I fucked up the meaning of "average".
Honestly I was just trying to make some Internet stranger smile.
This is wholesome even if you ended up making more internet strangers upset, it seems
Tis my plot in life....
And insist they don't body shame.
Anyone who acts like dicks of every size aren't inherently funny is not to be reasoned with.
Good point!
I really appreciate people helping other people especially because the internet is often such a harsh and toxic place, but I don't think presenting a counter that's factually wrong really helps.
And you are right, it's not important. I mean it's not even a requirement to have a penis at all for intimacy. So unless you don't have a tongue, no hands (not even 10 fingers required) you should be ok. You could also try toys.
Penis length is often an ego thing and that's hard to fix in a lemmy comment.
