Note to self: If visiting Chez Chronos, decline offer of “fresh cup of tea.”
What, it’s not like I just put all the equipment back into the cupboards. I’m going to wash everything before using it for ingestables, of course. And I didn’t use either of my tea mugs, either: A souvenir cup would be lousy for hot beverages. Seriously, it’s not like I [url="http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=198659, or anything.
Kudos to The_Llama, by the way. The cornerstone of science is repeatability of experiments. And it’s generally considered valid to estimate measurements to within one decimal place past the smallest marked increment, which is how I got my .1 ounce.
Of course not. Presumably, some of it went back into your pants.
It’s threads like this that come to mind when people ask me incredulously, “You paid to be on that board?” Why yes, yes I did.
Okay, we know how much blood is in the penis; so how much semen is in it?
:rolleyes:
I tried to talk my wife into helping with the second half of this experiment, but we ended up just having sex. I sort of forgot to put my Cock in a Cup® after we got going.
If you mean how much comes out of it, that’s easy: five cubic centimeters.
And my link in my previous post was supposed to be "Seriously, it’s not like I pan-fried my own semen, or anything.
I’m assuming this is a recessive trait…
Nah he just comes from a long line of necro-fantasy fetish females who look for this trait in men…
I chuckled at this one.
Apparently the size of the mug made it easier that way.
Bravo Chronos - and there was I wondering where Mangeorge was when we needed him.
Aw, c’mon, you guys. The answer to this question had been around for a long time (in my case, since third grade):
The square of the hair minus the heat of the meat all divided by the angle of the dangle equals the cube of the tube.
Mine certainly does!
Flapcats asked about the amount of blood, not about the swallows.

A friend of mine was the envy of all guys in the locker room. Of course, his enormous tool was never shown in cobat mode, but we’re talking at least 7" in dormant stage. It’s not like we got around to meassuring it. On time when we got drunk, I finally got around to asking him what it was like to have something that, by all evidence, would be more in the region of baseball bat than popsicle, when erect.
He, being equally drunk, confided in me that it really was like having a popsicle, because it just got harder, not very much bigger. So he might gain some 10%, whereas us less endowed doubled.
The rumour about him got him laid a lot. A lot.

So, when will this hit threadspotting.
I use this book for my trivia facts each edition. It’s got lots of cool stuff. You can find it on Amazon.

My understanding re: Kinsey et al and the variance in “average” erect size is this: Kinsey’s ~6.5" figure was the average of what men reported when asked. Because Kinsey’s work was so widely known, that figure has been around forever, and is still cited.
In the next major study, men were asked after being forced to actually measure their own with a ruler. In this study, the average dropped to about 6" even.
Finally, someone with a lick of sense decided to do a study where the length was measured by a disinterested party. This result yielded an average of about 5.5," the current “correct” answer.
These figures, as well as the story, are very rough. But makes sense to me.
That said, I wonder if there’s ever been a study using a true random sampling, rather than a sampling of men willing to have their erections measured in a lab-- you have to admit, such a willingness smacks of a certain smugness. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the figure drop to 5.0" in a truly random survey.
(And then I can call myself Bwana Dik-- though I suspect there’s probably someone on this board who’s already grabbed that, um, handle.)
You know, I was just about to ask something about this (although not so well researched.) I, too have seen figures that range by up to an inch. Maybe we should just get all the doper guys together, and pick a random sampling?
True. But will it ensue?
What the heck is DHMO, other than dihydrogen monoxide?
BTW, your willingness to lay it all out on the line for science is most commendable. I could add that you could be my lab partner any time, but nice girls don’t talk that way…
How much longer will this thread go on before somebody uses the :wally smiley? (Aside from this instance.)
