there may not be a correlation between race and length, but there is a correlation between race and percentage of spongey tissue.
this is basically what creates the difference between what people call a “grower” vs. a “shower”. black people are slightly statistically more likely to be “showers” having a larger flaccid size. the extreme examples is this will, however, achieve a less hard erection. so it’s not all bad for the growers. that said, porn stars have tricks to achieve longer harder erections. Viagra is the absolute norm on professional porn sets. meth and other stimulants also run rampant. it’s generally not actually pleasant work.
the racial statistical correlation is weak, and not really worth much. it’s about as significant as some peoples being taller on average. in fact, much less so, because “black” isn’t a distinct population. i have no idea if there have been better more detailed and representative studies done on this. the only one I’ve seen just went off of general demographic data sets like “non Hispanic white” or “black”. maybe you could argue it’s not worth studying, but damnit, everyone kinda wants to know. it’s all talked about often enough. we should really get to the deepest bottom of it just to end the argument. even though proving things with data never ends arguments.

So I’m glad guys can see this information and I’m glad you put it out there. Most people don’t care too much about size.
I might get ravaged for this but I’m going to throw it out there.
There absolutely is a racial (more accurately genetic) component to penis size. Yes it’s true race is a social construct but to pretend genetics don’t exist is a bit silly. Let’s pretend it’s only corollated with height. The average height for men in country A is 5’2". The average height for men in country B is 6’0". Again country does not equal race or ethnicity or anything but the two countries I picked are largely ethnically homogenous. Acting like such a large difference in height does not affect the size of individual parts of the body is silly.

Well, that’s because every single other body part has a bone in it. The penis does not have a bone, so growth would be more related to their endocrine systems, nutrition and individual genetics.
The height difference is not statistically relevant here

Noses and ears are practically boneless but they’re bigger on taller people in general.
Kalothar@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
Noses and ears also have an underlying cartridge scaffold, something also not present in the pee pee structure.
Those structures also don’t become engorged with blood to increase their firmness and size.

Huh… I had no idea my partner of 15 years was quietly slinging above the pornstar mean. This is what you get when you are an ace trans masc guy who never dated around and doesn’t watch porn…
Sitting on this embarrassment of riches all this time and never knew! (pun absolutely intended).

Are these soft or hard measurements?

Penis length studies use erect length or stretched flaccid length. Many penises are very short when flaccid, others are their full length when flaccid

It must be frustrating not being pansexual. The dating pool is so tiny for you!

The straight men who exclusively watch lesbian porn are laughing at you
Psythik@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The “I’m so straight I only watch lesbian porn” crowd makes me laugh. I can relate cause my brother and I were like that once too. When you’re raised by conservatives in the 90s, you’re taught to believe that gay and straight are the only orientations available. And since we were both attracted to women, that means that we must be straight, right? Surprise surprise.
The point I’m making is that the “lesbian porn only” crowd should just come out of the closet already. They’d be a lot happier. 🏳️🌈
