>>> I've explored this myth with my many prostitutes. According to a consensus of them, dick size runs down like this: You spent 10 bucks on the streets of Tijuana for this?

In fact, who told you that black men are better endowed than white men?" I've explored this myth with my many prostitutes. According to a consensus of them, dick size runs down like this: Black guys, White and Hispanic, Asian. Of course, there are individual variations. In fact, a global survey was done and the difference between black and white men was very slight. For an example: "The World Health Org. specifications feature condom widths of 5.3 cm for Africa, 5.2 cm for Europe, and 4.9 cm for Asia." docstoc.com Other studies have said that the difference in length between whites and blacks is statistically insignificant but are careful not to be too definite since its somewhat problematical getting good data. <g> My friend big nose Bob, who went to China to teach English, is one of the ugliest guys I know. Yet, he became a very popular bedmate to many young Chinese women while there. That myth too has pretty much been debunked in a recent study: "The suggested link between penis size, foot size and height has been investigated by a relatively small number of groups. Two of these studies have suggested a link between penis size and foot size, while the most recent report dismissed these findings.[citation needed] One of the studies suggesting a link relied on the subjects measuring the size of their own penis, which may well be inaccurate. The second study found statistically significant although "weak" correlation between the size of the stretched penis and foot size and height [37] A potential explanation for these observations is that the development of the penis in an embryo is controlled by some of the same Hox genes (in particular HOXA13 and HOXD13)[38] as those that control the development of the limbs. Mutations of some Hox genes that control the growth of limbs cause malformed genitalia (hand–foot–genital syndrome).[39] However the most recent investigation[40] failed to find any evidence for a link between shoe size and stretched penis size.[41] Given the large number of genes which control the development of the human body shape, and the effects of hormones during childhood and adolescence, it would seem unlikely that an accurate prediction of penis size could be made by measuring a different part of the human body. Other studies correlating the size of the human penis with other factors have given intriguing results. Notably one study analysing the self-reported Kinsey data set found that homosexual men had statistically larger penises than their heterosexual counterparts.[42] One potential explanation given is a difference in the exposure to androgen hormones in the developing embryo. The study author's opinion is that evidence points towards both orientations being equally likely to exaggerate.[43]" en.wikipedia.org In high school, there was this guy....real meek, small guy....small hands, small feet. A couple of guys I knew told me to watch this guy when he went into the showers. I almost fell over.....this guy was huge....hung like a horse. Flaccid...it went down almost to his knees. He looked like he was going to topple over. I almost started laughing. Bottomline: I wouldn't pay too much attention to all these stories....there may or may not be a correlation.
