When we talk about size matters, we usually talk about length. But what about girth?
How's girth measured accurately? And come to think of it,
what is the average size girth? And what does it look like?
Hi, I'm Michelle. And today we're talking about girth in relation to size matters. We're looking
at two things in particular, first of all, we're going to be looking at how to measure girth,
and measure girth in the way that is measured scientifically in the clinical studies. And
secondly, we're going to be taking a look at the most recent scientific research in relation to
average girth size so that you guys know what is average size, because unfortunately,
as I discussed in my recent Size Matters video,
many men think that they are undersized in relation to other men and this is causing
major size, anxiety, and increased a rapid increase in unnecessary surgical enhancements.
So, how do we measure girth? Okay, I've got a little prop for this to help us along. So, what
we need to do is we need excited size. So we need to be in a state of excitement and this little guy
is going to help us here. And so what we do, and what scientists do in the clinic, and this is the
valid and reliable technique is basically, the top side is measured, and it's measured from the base,
and that's right against the pubic bone. So you actually need to get a flexible tape measure
and make sure it's not stretchable, make sure it's rigid, placed it on the top side, and place it
firmly against the base. Next, that hard bone you can feel against the base when you press in.
Then lay the tape measure along, and go measure right along from base to tip.
Now, this banana actually measures 15 centimeters, which is slightly longer than average, which is
normally you know, 13 to 14 centimeters and it's actually less than six inches to if you didn't
catch my last video. So what we do is we actually find the midpoint of that. So 15, we go to 7.5
centimeters. So you find the midpoint of that length, and then wrap the tape measure around,
and that gives you your circumference of your girth. So you're going to get
this measure like that. That is the scientific way of measuring excited girth in the clinic.
So, what is average girth size? Well, this is a really good question, because
there's not a great deal of scientific or good quality scientific information
around about this. So I had to look really hard, the best information I found was by Veale and
this is a systematic review done in 2015. And, this systematic review looked at 26 studies,
total of 15,000 men and out of that they looked at the averages for
excited circumference. Now it came down to two studies that actually gave the most or the best
quality information and I'll put the references below just in case you'd like to refer to them.
Now the first study was by Wessels and this was a study of 80 American men and they measured the
excited circumference. So using the technique that I just described to you the scientific technique,
and they actually found in those men, that the average was 12.3, the average circumference
was 12.3 centimeters. So that was the first valid and reliable study reading that we have.
The other one that we have was a study by Promodou and this was in 91 Indian males.
And, basically so you can basically see that the studies that we've talked with God
are confined to certain populations, Caucasian, the first one American,
and also to Indian mouth. And in the Indian mouth, what they found was, the average circumference was
11.49 centimeters. So we've got a disparity in the results of those two populations.
When Veale average these out and I've got to check the result, when Veale average these out, it came
to an average mean average of 11.66 centimeters. So average circumference was 11.66 centimeters.
So, we've got a few problems with the studies in that we can only really draw conclusions to
certain so Caucasian males, American males,
there were no black American males included in that study or other ethnicities,
other American ethnicities. So we can only really draw conclusions to Caucasian Americans and also
to the sample sizes were both really small, likewise for the Indian study, so we can't
really generalize to the entire population, which leaves a bit of a mystery, doesn't it?
Now, back to that average size. So we have here,
this is the average. So, this is the 11.66 centimeters. So we'd go back to our excited banana
and see how it fits, and basically, it goes to about there. So, this banana is well above average
size, both in terms of length, and also to in terms of girth. So, I think you can see that what
we know is that we really don't know a great deal other than the fact that an arbitrary average of
11.66 centimeters average circumference. However, we really do need more studies to know definitely
what average sizes are and to reassure men who might be suffering from size anxieties.
So, I really hope that you find this information interesting and
if you do, I really appreciate it if you could give it a like below,
because that encourages YouTube to share the information with other men too.
Thanks so much for watching today. I look forward to seeing you next time. Good bye for now.
