Well, I won't make any claims about humans, but with other great apes, specifically our close relatives chimps and gorillas, there is an interesting fact.

Chimps have much greater penis size as proportion of body size than do gorillas.

And this is an evolutionarily determined feature related to sexual habits.

Both chimps and gorillas are social animals.

The alpha male gorilla has sole sexual rights to all females in the group, and this means that the requirements to gain sexual priority are physical strength and social intelligence in order to attain the number one spot in the group. Penis size is irrelevant, since once a gorilla has attained dominance, it is assured that it will reproduce and no other males in the group will. Hence physical strength and social skill will be selected for, but penis size will not.

Chimpanzees on the other hand have a different social structure. When a female is in heat, the alpha male is entitled to the first mating, but after that, all males in the clan get to mate with the female in order of social precedence.

Therefore the ability to deposit sperm deep leads to increased chance of fertilisation. Therefore, since penis size is genetically inheritable, amongst chimps penis size is selected for.

This explains why penis size in chimps is proportionally so much greater than for gorillas.

here's another interesting article explaining the function of the interesting head shape of the male human penis.

I always got made fun of in school. They would call me horrible names like Tri-pod or Mastiff and even Hung Solo in reference to Han Solo from Star Wars.

Girls were just as cruel as the boy's often saying things such as "Hello" with a naughty smile or "want to go out sometime" and even the usual "Call me." Why so you can make fun of me too? No thanks!

Even my friends would always be like "Hey stud" or "try not to Kill" her when on a date.

This one time I went on a drive in date with a girl I really liked, as she nibbled on my ear she whispered "I heard you are really gifted." I was like what as in retarded!? She screamed for me to stop and wait as I fled the car crying, the humiliation was unbearable. It was a long walk home that cold night and I should have known that she just wanted to make fun of me too, Kids are so Cruel!

And Frau's timely appearance reminds me...

Anyone know why women can't tell distances?

All their lives, they've been told that this...

...is eight inches.

I see Vendor managed to capture that second pic before I edited it out... it was just... too... big.

I know there's a smaller version of that ruler pic somewhere, but I am NOT googling for it any more from this computer.

I used to "measure up" fairly well to those quoted statistics. These days? Not so much.
