"It is generally said that the penis of the Negro is very large," so
wrote German anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in 1795. "And
this assertion is so far borne out by the remarkable genitory
apparatus of an Ethiopian which I have in my anatomical collection."
Louis Jacolliet, a 19th century French writer who spent three decades
investigating penis size, had this to say: "In no branch of the human
race are the male organs more developed than in the African Negro."
Certainly, the belief in the well-endowment of the African race has an
extensive history. But is it justified by the facts?
Going strictly by the Kinsey data, which still remains one of the most
exhaustive studies on penis size to date, the average white male has a
penis measuring 6.2 inches long and 3.7 inches around, whereas the
average black male has a penis 6.3 by 3.8 inches, for a difference of
0.1 inches--not what you'd call statistically significant. When it
came to flaccid length, however, blacks fared a little better: 4.3
inches long, versus 4.0 inches for white males. So it may be,
therefore, that while those of African heritage appear larger
initially, under actual working conditions things tend to even out.
You should consider this a tentative hypothesis rather than a
scientific fact, as there were only 59 black respondents to the
survey, versus 2,500 for whites."
