Out of macabre curiosity, what actually is the typical range?

According to research done by condom companies and other researchers the average size was 5.5 inches and gay men were found to be slightly larger on average 6 inches.

People tend to overestimate the average because of anecdotal observations via watching porn and that the men who want to show off their dicks and have more sex are larger than average. Like if you were to sample measurements only from people on Grindr the number is probably high.

Self measurements are also often incorrect because some guys will shove the ruler down the side of their leg to inflate the number as much as possible.

The chart on this page shows how there are discrepancies between how things are measured.

also found this article on "girl inches" if you are interested on that. It falls in line with FtMs being girls and all.
