Link: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=100377](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=100377) I have to say I’m disappointed with the closing of this thread. I realize that the topic is one that tends to generate a lot of unpleasantness, but . . . I’m disappointed that nobody had the opportunity to post some links, studies, etc. to back up **Jillgat** ’s statements. One last point: I know that it’s said again and again, but let me repeat – there’s a tendency for people to complain about the moderators on the unusual occasions where they have an issue, and remain silent on the many occasions where the moderators are perceived as doing fine. I apologise for whining in this way. ---

Ye gads, people are still asking that? It is a well known fact that the best hung race is the _moderator_ race. ---

Even stranger thing is that JillGat is wrong, according to [Cecil](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_193.html) > [@](#): > > Largely on the basis of furtive observations in the locker room, white males tend to believe that blacks are better endowed than they are. Kinsey’s measurements of flaccid penis length tend to bear this out. > > White males had an average flaccid penis length of 4.0 inches, whereas the average black male’s detumescent member measured 4.3 inches. But when erect, the average white penis was 6.2 inches long, whereas the average black’s was 6.3 inches–still longer, but not by much. (Average circumference for whites was 3.7 inches; for blacks, 3.8.) > > These figures must be regarded with caution. There were more than 2,500 white male respondents, but only 59 black males. ---

More important is who has the shortest member. I heard it was the Asians but I can’t seem to remember from where I heard that… ---

I knew a French girl once with an inch-long clitoris. Liable to put an eye out with that thing. Even still, it was a silly-assed question. ---

If they started closing every silly thread, the mods would be doing nothing else. Besides, what’s wrong with silly threads? And **Reeder** , have fun adding a “who the fuck cares?” comment on every thread you don’t care about. Better start now, you have a lot of work ahead of you. ---

Hey, I’m all for any thread that includes the words “penis” and “clitoris” since I have one and like the other. I strongly suspect that genitalia size corrolates with body size and race is quite irrelevant. ---

I’ve got my husband’s penis right here and I really like my clitoris. ---

Just how **big** does a clitoris have to be before it’s a willy? I remember an Angela Carter novel _(The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman)_ which described a (fictional) tribe in which mother’s ritually manipulated their daughter’s wee clitties from birth until a certain age, the aim being to extend it – ideally until it was over six inches long. :eek: They had a creation myth involving a snake hiding in a woman’s belly, or some such thing. ---

> [@](#): > > _originally posted by lucwarm:_ > **I’m disappointed that nobody had the opportunity to post some links, studies, etc. to back up Jillgat’s statements.** What? I mean, like, huh? Why in the world should we bother to respond? Here’s the question: > [@](#): > > It’s a well known stereotype that black males are thought to have larger than average penises. Since the clitoris is somewhat equivalent to the penis with respect to nerve endings, etc. then do black females have larger than average clitorises than other women? The question really ought to be, “Is it also a well-known stereotype that black girls have larger clitorises than white girls?” To which the answer is, of course, “No.” And also, a Google search for “black female clitoris size” is hopeless, unless you’re interested in “latex fuck girls” websites. 😃 Izzy: Excuse me, but Jill was not wrong. Cecil points out: > [@](#): > > These figures must be regarded with caution. There were more than 2,500 white male respondents, but only 59 black males. So, statistically speaking, Kinsey’s results were not from a fair sampling. Larry: If mere physical manipulation was all it required to make a sexual organ larger, then every male on the face of the planet would be hung like an elephant. 😃 ---
