      They say in the article 0.6% of men. That sounds like a small number, but if you have around the usual 300 Facebook friends, then you know someone.

        I never had to give my size to anyone. How do they know everyone’s size to come to the 0.6%? That’s only the known cases. The penis-size-compensation trucks say otherwise.

          As with all things, you can arrive at trustworthy estimates for things by surveying a sampling of people and then applying statistics. You don’t have to ask every person on earth. This is called the law of large numbers.

          Also, they are defining micropenis as 2.6 inches so there are probably even more people who don’t meet this definition but would like more size.

            But in general, people with a small penis add a few centimeters when asked about their size. Some also add a few inches but no one knows what that ancient system works like. So when I hear a penis size in inches it already sounds small.

              I think the point is not how quickly can someone Google it but can he actually explain it, because he brought it up in a situation where it doesn’t apply, meaning he doesn’t actually understand it (ie can’t explain it).

                Canconda’s original comment did not have the wiki link which is why I replied. Honestly, dropping 23 possible birthday pairs to reach >50% probability is still not intuitive to me.

                Of my OG friend group of ~12 there are two matching birthday pairs. One coincidental and one pair of twins which don’t count.

                  To grasp it intuitively, I think of it like this.

                  With the first person, you have 1/365 chance the birthday will be on any given day.

                  Each person you add to that adds not just another person but also another day that can be a match.

                  After two people, you still don’t have a match but now you have two days. The third person can match either of those. That’s a lower bar than person #2 had to meet.

                  By the time the 15th person walks in, the question is: “what are the odds that you share any of these 15 days as your birthday.” And remember, it’s not that that person’s odds are 50%. It’s everything from the original 1/365 chance on up to that fifteenth person, cumulatively, that has a 50% change of a hit.

                  See how this already sounds a little more likely than just narrowing in on the final final result of two people having the same birthday? The way the problem is phrased makes it sounds like more of a bullseye than it truly is.

                  So I think part of it is just difficult to grasp intuitively, but it’s also phrased deliberately to throw off your intuition.

                  If that was your idea of a joke, I’m afraid you have no idea what’s funny. More likely you are just attempting to laugh off your embarrassment.

          Hello - the birthday problem is interesting but it has no bearing on a simple percentage probability. The reason the odds of two people having the same birthday don’t rise linearly with the number of people is that every time you add someone to the set you also add a new possible birthday to match. You get to compare them to every other member of the group for a chance to match. You’re not just adding 1/365 each time, trying over and over to hit one date. You’re adding new dates to hit as you go.

          This doesn’t apply in a simple probability like “0.6% of people have a micropenis so if you know 300 people, odds are you know one.” You really are just adding 0.6 every time you consider one more person in the set.

          So… your comment is bullshit.

    Specifically he wants to raise awareness of the fact that he’s got one, for the benefit of enthusiasts.

    I hope he did anyway cause he’s gonna get sought out.

      I was hoping to find a picture, because it’s fascinating. It can only have been the result of a major medical issue, I assume. With most major medical issues, a doctor will try to do something. But, did he never show it to a doctor out of shame?

        It is often due to very low testosterone levels during infancy. And seemingly often detected during birth.

        Hormone treatment can help in some cases.

        Though it’s worth noting, his micropenis is significantly smaller than other men’s micropenis. There are those that very much can have penetrative sex. And then there’s this guy…
