Test your instincts first

Make three guesses, then compare them with the research. Most people guess high on all three.

How to read the numbers

Measured beats self-reported

When people report on themselves, sizes and times come out bigger. This site leads with figures where a clinician held the ruler or a couple held a stopwatch, and says so when it doesn't.

Averages hide a lot

Most of these measures are lopsided, with a few very large values. The median, the middle person, usually describes a typical man better than the mean, so you'll see both where it matters.

Who was studied

Much of the research comes from heterosexual adults in a handful of countries. Where that limits what the numbers can tell you, the page says so.
