The Jon Gosselin Story: Asian Men and Penis Size

By Koji Steven | Friday, February 19, 2010 | 55 Comments

peen The Jon Gosselin Story: Asian Men and Penis Size

I’ve been fascinated by Penis-Gate with the recent “controversy” over how Kate Gosselin joked that Jon’s penis was “stubby” and how his ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman said that he had a “tiny, tiny, tiny” penis in a recent issue of Us Weekly.

All this penis talk got me thinking, do Asians really have small penes (which is the plural of penis)? That’s the stereotype, right? But since I haven’t seen many human penes in my life (besides my own) I don’t really know. So I did a quick Google search and this is what I found:

  • The Penis Size Chart By Ethnicity done the British Medical Journal: this indicates that Asians do have smaller penes but as one astute person commented, Asians do have the highest number in the 8.8 category. Without knowing their sample size and who exactly they sampled from, this study seems questionable at best.
  • “The Definitive Penis Size Survey,” which I put in quotes because even according to them, they don’t have a very large sample size of non-whites. Is it any surprise then that Caucasians in their study had the biggest and longest lasting penis?
  • The Penis Size Chart: I don’t trust this one because they refer to Asians as “Orientals.”

One interesting article I discovered during my research was that some men in Asia are having penis enlargement surgery to “to avoid shame when bathing en masse.” I think that’s a silly reason to want to cut open your own penis, but to each their own. I try my hardest not to judge. However, if you’re thinking about this surgery, you can always consider the Male Organ Specific Enhancement Surgery.

After all of that, I still don’t know what to think about Asians and penis size; after seeing many too pictures and visiting way too many websites devoted to the penis, I do know that men are very sensitive about the size of their genitalia. I read somewhere that men believe the average penis size is almost eight inches. Don’t worry, guys. In reality, it’s much closer to five. In the end, every women’s site seems to say that it’s not the size of the boat that matters but how one twirls it around. At least, that’s what they say because to me, that reeks of “I like your personality.” Maybe I’m a little cynical.

As an Asian man, I’m thinking we just need better PR and to somehow compel Asian guys in the 8.8 category to become porn stars, or at least have their own penis websites. Dare I suggest Asianshavelargepenes.com? Feel free to use that. I want credit, though.

    I always figured the whole size thing was a myth because I’ve never personally had experience with it, and my friends who have dated or married Asian guys have always said their SOs were average, or occasionally more than average. :P

  • http://twitter.com/mike_le mike_le

    Your URL suggestion disturbs me. It parses in my head as “AsianShaveLargePenes.com”.

  • http://www.facebook.com/filchyboy Christopher Filkins

    I believe this is a myth. For decades the only birth control available in Japan was condoms. Because of the high level of quality and high level of money spent on R&D in the Japanese condom industry Japan condoms have long come in more sizes and shapes than can be found in other countries. So for instance if you go into a store selling condoms in Tokyo chances are very good they will carry far more smaller sized condoms than you would find anywhere else. But this is not because there are more smaller sized guys in Tokyo rather it is because the condom industry there markets more effectively than other places.

    All of that being said I recently posted some work I did on a data set of 27,000 men’s penises. While I did not cross index for race you might find the results of interest.

    It’s not that Jon G has a small penis. It’s that all the women he’s hooked up with have big vaginas.

    I’m not even going to ask how you actually know this.

    Just reading this post is probably NSFW already. lol

    Small penis or not, that man has powerful sperm. 8 kids!

  • http://www.merchantsmirror.com Ben Hwang

    Although it could have been that Kate was just super fertile. I thought that they had actually done invitro though. Which then makes sense why it was as such since they basically put the eggs on ice and do it to a bunch of them and see which ones take. Could be wrong, but I thought I read that somewhere about their situation.

  • http://hellomoye.com/ moye

    No, it was in-vitro. I was just kidding.

  • http://www.merchantsmirror.com Ben Hwang

    Wait… so that means… they actually probably never had sex for those 8 kids! So no one really knows how big his penis is! :p

  • kojistevensakai

    hehehe.. I was thinking the same thing!

  • kojistevensakai

    opps… that’s actually (unintentionally) funny!

  • Confuse_Us

    Is there a link to the actual study in the BMJ? I followed the link from the Buzzfeed article and did a search (not particularly thoroughly, I’ll admit!) but couldn’t find anything. Methinks the chart is not for real. Besides, if the study was carried out in the UK, the term “Asian” means something completely different to what it means in the U.S.

  • anthony8484

    i am italian and very small compared to my friends, even my asian friend are much bigger then me!!

  • johnklin

    I remember coming across this story a few years ago:

    Condoms ‘too big’ for Indian men
    A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

  • Nan333

    You are too concerned with other men’s penises and not about actual science. You should look into the research if you’re gonna be so obsessed because otherwise you’re just gonna spread misinformation to people just as confused as you. The fact is, there is no empirical evidence that AM have smaller penises.

    HINT: (just because something happens to be posted on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true)

  • Nan333

    It’s a hoax.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/KILLERB0OTSMAN Matty

    Seriously! Someone needs to change this, because according to this falsified chart; I’m below average.

    Most of my best gay friends who hail from China, Thailand, etc ask me… and not out of mere lust but usually out of self-consciousness… if “Western guys” really are bigger. I tell them the most truthful thing one could say in response to their question: “Western guys hope that you think so.”

    First of all its not true that every single Asian has a small one which is a no brainer of course, but still, if it were, that penis size is such a big topic is embarassment to human evolution. Even if Asian men WERE, verbatum, smaller than any other men on planet earth, if such a thing was an excuse to label them as inferior it would be a disgrace.

    I once read a guy post on craigslist from a guy, he said he was Asian and if you met him he would “Prove that Asian men aren’t all tiny.” I felt as though he was implicitly saying that he was in a class of his own and those …other Asian men… were below him, which is really not cool if you take it that way.

    wait how did you know that?

  • http://www.rollegg.com Mr_RollEgg

    Seems the chart is a fake. If you follow the link to buzzfeed, it claims this is from the British Medical Journal. But the link there only goes to top-level domain bmj.com. If you search there for a chart or study like this, nothing appears.

  • SHguy

    I had my sampling of Asian men in China and I have come to the conclusion that their cocks are NOT smaller than average. Most were above or well above 6″. Not a scientific study but had a good time taking notes.

  • j3rz3ygrl

    iam dating a man thats half chinese and half italian…and he is nowhere near small….

  • Comeatmebro

    Used to think I was small because I kept hearing the stereotype and I don’t exactly go around checking out other dudes. I’m a bit over 6″ in length, and 5″ girth. Not huge, but not small. Full Chinese over here. Just sayin’.

    Obviously some Asian men have been watching too much American porn *eyeroll cue*. Btw, when I told one of my guy friends that vaginas are only 3-4inches deep, he was really shocked and wondered where the other 2 inches of the penis goes. Yea, they don’t exactly serve much practical purpose, in fact it would suck if your penis is way too long, because you can’t fit it in anywhere.

  • VănMinhNguyễn

    I’ve once read in a study (can’t remember where, but I will look it back up in the near future) that Japanese have larger penes than Americans in general (Incl. As.-Am.) but were smaller than several Europeans, and the most effemninate of all Europeans (Latin Euope) had the largest, Yes FRANCE!

    The Japanese and American samples were representative. The French, German, Spanish, etc were not – they were done on self-selected college kids. Can you imagine a white guy with a 2 inch dick (believe me, there are tons of them) going into a clinic specifically to get himself measured?

    Asian guys actually ARE slightly bigger than whites on average. Whites however have a much wider range in “size”, blacks even more so. I’m a gay guy but I’m not a manwhore, I got this info from medical journals.

    White guys are also 2x as likely to get breast cancer and suffer from gynecomastia (breast tissue on males). They are also twice as likely to be considered “low-T” than Asian males. And, on average, they have more estrogen (blacks the most). But again, the estrogen levels in white males vary a lot more.

  • fireinside

    As a White American living in Japan (and a sexually active gay man, if anyone cares to know), I definitely agree with that study whose authors found that Japanese men have larger penes than American men on average. However, there are some Japanese men who have very small ones and some American men who have very large ones, too. It mostly depends on the individual.

  • Mslins

    Why does matter me myself would prefer a gentleman who can give me pleasure above all that’s all any woman ask for so it all the talk about sizes and learn how to pleasure a woman like she or he wants

  • Mslins

    Sorry why does size matter

  • Mslins

    Sorry why does size matter so much to men’s

  • Mslins

    So stop worrying about size and learn pleasure technique for your partner whether they be male or female enjoyment should be all that matters in the bedroom.

  • Anthony Rivera

    Hungary has the largest

  • Anthony Rivera

    I’ve met some latinos and boy, they are way small.

  • marky

    The flip side of Chew’s findings..I am an asian guy, and I have been told by all my ex-GF, azn and white,that I am large to huge.Not exaggerating, want proof ?One girl got her friend to sneak into the room to have a peak, and another said it was scary.Ex wife ( Korean) said I banged up against the cervix too much, it hurt.I have checked out the ‘net, and there is maybe one azn guy who looks bigger ..I would love to become a porn star as u said, or post pics just to prove these idiot racists wrong ( white guys would be outright jealous,white girls would shut up,black guys might be curious)..but how.? i have a reputation, and a family..if this gets back to me..but…I am tired of these azn stereotypes..even my daughters complained about this..and there’s no way i could let them know they don’t have to worry about Dad…i guess i could wear sunglasses..and post pics..prob would get me a bunch of fans..but what would i do about it? haha..i live with this conundrum every day..

  • Chung Lee

    I’m Asian. My penis size is 8 inch long. Fuck to all those who say Asian penes are short.

  • Chung Lee

    Asian penes are not at all small. Some have 6/7 inch long. Fuck you Keun soo. I’m Asian.

    Haha, great article! Everybody knows this is true, this is why asian men hate thinking about asian women dating white men (who hate thinking about white women dating black men.)

    Maybe size is inversely correlated to … SAT scores?
