Friday afternoon poll for science. But feel free to answer it on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday as well. Poll to come. (Pun intentionally ignored for scientific purposes.) ---

I voted “less than one inch,” as mine is indeed less than one inch wide, but just barely. ---

Since I’m not a fella, this is none of my bees wax, but whaaaaaaat? Is this the set up line to see who can make the best joke (everyone is doing well so far)? Do you mean by how many inches does it increase from it’s flaccid state? I _know_ you’re not straight up (ha! _straight up_! ), sincerely asking about the size of mens junk with answers like “less than one inch”. C’mon, let me in on the joke 🙂 ---

According to the results so far, Doper men are pretty huge. More than 70% fall in the top third. Science! ---

All I know is that I’ve never had any complaints (and yes, I mean from WOMEN). That’s as much as I’m going to divulge on this topic. ---

i would like to rise up in defense of this being a proper pole poll even though some results are not penetrating. ---

More than 70% fall in the top third. Science! If this is true, you’re gonna have to do a better job of articulating what you actually want to know. The average man has a 5.5 to 6" penis.

Smaller than an inch? There’s a place for you too. It may be science, but it’s not rocket science, people. Unless “The Rocket” is your nickname for your dick. Then it \*is \*rocket science. So far, it seems Doper men are on the huge end of the polling spectrum. [Rocket] Science! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fellas-how-large-is-your-erection/718442.md?page=2)
