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

[–] tyler@programming.dev 23 points 1 week ago

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

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

It's a growing problem.

The hungest games.

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

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

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

Huh. Not where I thought that was going. 😁

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?

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

I dunno, looks the same to me

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

you have to get a larger sample size 😆

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Good for them. 🍷

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

:( from everyone over 30.

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

increased significantly

Sounds good to me

[–] Domino@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

But the penis contains potassium benzoate.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] andrewth09@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I knew penis inspection day was legit.

[–] Domino@lemmings.world 2 points 1 week ago

I always got a D+.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Haha, looking at you slightly above average guys. Welcome to the club.

[–] Domino@lemmings.world 2 points 1 week ago

Why are you looking at them?
