TLDR: 3cm in 3 decades. An insane amount.

What if only guys with big dicks were willing to do the study in modern times?

It's a growing problem.

That's surely just nutrition, we've got taller as well.

jol@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y

On the other hand there's definitely a preference for taller men when choosing a partner.

That's what she said.

I confirm that mine has not increased in size over the last 30 years. Maybe I’m in the control group?

Hikermick@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y

This headline really sent me into a panic!

I woke up Thursday to enlarged man parts. It was like someone slipped two lemons and a grapefruit into my pants overnight. Long story short doctor says it's an allergic reaction to something, I had to let the fluids drain back out, this accomplished by lying on my back for two days with it wrapped up in an Ace bandage pointed at the ceiling.

After seeing the headline I thought for sure it was happening globally pun intended

It’s cool being big I guess, but just sort of pointless having nobody to appreciate it with.

Cadeillac@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Poor little big fella

WHY WILL NOBODY LET ME PUT MY GIANT HORSE-COCK INSIDE OF THEM?

I was ahead of the curve

Could be Peyronie's disease, might wanna get that checked out.

2ugly2live@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

Anticorp@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

:( from everyone over 30.

doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

increased significantly

Sounds good to me

Domino@lemmings.world · 1 pts · 1y

But the penis contains potassium benzoate.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 1y

inb4 it's just due to higher blood pressure due to stress
