HONG KONG: Chinese men have no reason to feel inferior
about the size of
their penises, according to a Hong Kong study which showed
local men
measured up to others elsewhere in the world below the
belt.
"Our conclusion is that Hong Kong people are no smaller
than western men,
where their penises are concerned," said Chan Lung-wai,
director of the
Urology Centre at the Union Hospital, who headed the
study.
"There has always been the myth that westerners have bigger
penises and
their (sexual) ability is better."
A group of scientists in Hong Kong spent five months from
October last year
measuring 148 ethnic Chinese volunteers aged between
23 and 93.
The average length of their flaccid penises was 8.46cm,
which compared
favourably with similar studies on other men overseas.
Germans have average lengths of about 8.6cm, Israelis
8.3cm, Turks 7.8cm
and Filippinos 7.35cm. Italians were the longest at 9cm
and Americans
averaged 8.8cm.
The study did not measure the penises when they were erect.

bore no relation to
the length of his member, but those with higher body
mass indexes, or fat
content, appeared to have shorter penises.
"It seems that as someone gets older and fatter, his blood
vessels change,
so the penile size is not static. It may be a reflection
of the condition
of the person's blood vessels," Chan said, adding that
this could spur yet
another study.
