I agree with kccostarica. I also find it hard to believe that Asians are bigger than Caucasians, at least from the studies I've read. you should cite your sources. There is more than you ever wanted to know about penis size in general at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_size but if you want to see specific information on penis size and race I'd refer you to this site
http://www.sizesurvey.com/result.html That study cites the following results:
Race Mean length
caucausian 6.5"
african american 6.1"
hispanic 5.9"
east asian 5.5"
This seems to correlate well with other studies. For example, Gomez de Diego, in 2001, took into consideration several studies by physicians of different nationalities. He concluded that the average erect penis size for adult men is to established at 14 cm. The studies of average erect penis length conducted on adult men worldwide included France 16 cms, Italy 15 cms, Mexico 14.9 cms, Germany 14.48 cms, Japan 13.0 cms, Saudi Arabia 12.4 cms, Brazil 12.4 cms, India 10.2 cms and South Korea 9.6 cms.
The results of the size survey is also more in keeping with the popular conceptions regarding the relative penis size of whites vs asians (or hispanics for that matter). OTOH, it raises a new questionable result. namely that whites beat blacks, which flies in the face of popular conceptions as much as El C's numbers on asians. However the survey also provides a possible explanation for that.
Size perception:
moderate average well-endowed
caucausian 5% 77% 18%
african american 0% 20% 80%
hispanic 8% 65% 27%
east asian (all) 40% 45% 15%
east asian (e.) 30% 50% 20%
east asian (w.) 55% 40% 5%
In this study, blacks disproportionately THINK they are well endowed. Given that and that most of the early studies were based on self reports, it becomes more understandable how this MYTH of black hugeness might have gotten started.
Not that I can see how .4 inches give or take could really make that much difference either way any way. I'll cite one more classic study which compiled data from the Kinsey and Masters studies (the 2 classics in the field). In 1988, Paul L. Jamison and Paul H. Gebhard averaged the data from those study and found found the average erect size to be 6.21", with a standard deviation of .77", which is to say that 95% of men will not be more or less than 1.54" inches from the average value (the bell curve looks like a spike). Of course, there is much greater variability on flacid sizes, but when you get down to it that is not really what matters at all. Except for a very small handful of us there really is just all not that much difference between us. When you get down to it, the differences that we (or the chicas) are talking about is really nearly all in our heads.
