Eh. I think, like the statement about men preferring certain things, that it’s a stated preference more than an actual one. I have a friend with a slightly larger penis, about 7", and his wife has told me it’s too big. And that’s just seven inches. Apparently certain positions are too much and slightly painful.
The size queens you see in porn are the standouts, just like the men that all have 8"+ penises.
I’m well aware of the science and actual numbers of penises. I’m ALSO aware of how it is portrayed in porn. Just look at the local nsfw instance, and try and tell me that the majority of the posted penises aren’t well above average.
Of course porn selects for enormous dicks. That’s exactly why it shouldn’t be used as a rubric for the general population. You didn’t even mention porn until your second paragraph, so it very much sounded like you thought the average penis size was just below 7 inches. But I’m glad to hear you know better.

Just seven inches? How common do you think seven inch dicks are?
