Manhunt.net, a popular gay social-sexual networking website, compiled an average of self-reported penis size statistics for each of the 50 states. Minnesotans ranked their ‘endowments’ as 10th biggest in the nation at 7.34 inches — bigger than Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas. Even bigger than Texas where everything is bigger. And bigger than the actual average penis size, 5.08 inches, as determined by the Journal of Urology.
Penis envy affects men’s health. Annabel Chan, a PhD student at Melbourne’s Victoria University, has been tracking health and perception of penis size. She found that men tend to look at the size of other men when gauging their own, a trend she calls the “locker room effect.” She found that “Men with larger than average penises also reported higher levels of self-esteem, better general health and higher overall body satisfaction.”
Of course when everyone is trying to one up each other and report very ‘optimistic’ penis sizes on their Manhunt profile, it becomes impossible to determine what is actually average. We will call that the “Manhunt effect.”
