Q: Could your ethnicity be part of how big or small your penis is?
A: This is a very common question, and the simple answer is No. There is no reliable scientific data that connects penis size to ethnicity. In every ethnic group there are men with larger than average, smaller than average, and average size penises.
There are plenty of stories out there about this, though, aren’t there? The thing to realize is that so many of these stories and myths are based on negative stereotypes and even racism. For example, you may have heard the myth that African-American men have larger penises than white men. This myth actually has a very racist origin. During the time of enslavement, and especially in the time soon after the abolition of slavery in America, racism caused many whites to think African-American men were savage, brutal, unintelligent, and dangerous. The idea of them having larger penises was meant to reinforce their “animal” status and was used as “evidence” that they could not control their sexual urges and would rape white women if they were allowed to be near them. The original intent to the story that African-American men had big penises was not to make them seem better than whites, but to make them seem more dangerous and less civilized than whites. That’s a pretty ugly thing to think about a human being, isn’t it? Similar racism and ugly stereotypes have led to all kinds of stories that try to connect ethnicity and penis size. The fact is, this is just using penis size as a way to insult and degrade other people – and there’s nothing healthy about that.
