Okay, so I have been doing some male bashing lately. And as we all know, (I assume you’ve been reading newspaper columns and all) male bashing on our little red dot of a country is often centered around how pathetic, ungentlemanly, uncreative, not spontaneous our local men are. SPGs (Sarong Party Girls aka angmoh-philes) have gone so far to attack the effeminate Asian man (before I get a whole load of backlash, this is quite a common academic concept) for the limitations of his *ahem* tool.
In the spirit of making up to those poor, emotional men who bore the brunt of my bitching… check out this article. It’s from Reuters. I’m infringing on some copyright law or something coz:

HONG KONG - Chinese men have no reason to feel inferior about the size of their penises, according to a Hong Kong study which showed local men measured up to others elsewhere in the world below the belt.
“Our conclusion is that Hong Kong people are no smaller than western men, where their penises are concerned,” said Chan Lung-wai, director of the Urology Center at the Union Hospital, who headed the study.
“
There has always been the myth that westerners have bigger penises and their (sexual) ability is better.”
(No one ever studies bout the ability part...)
A group of scientists in Hong Kong spent five months from October last year measuring 148 ethnic Chinese volunteers aged between 23 and 93.
The average length of their flaccid penises was 8.46 centimeters (3.4 inches), which compared favorably with similar studies on other men overseas.
Germans have average lengths of about 8.6 centimeters, Israelis 8.3, Turks 7.8 and Filipinos 7.35. Italians were the longest at 9 centimeters and Americans averaged 8.8.
(Tsk... leave the ruler alone)
The study did not measure the penises when they were erect.
(Awkwardness aside, can you imagine the specifications that will come with including that factor in the study? I mean, with a penile implant, a man is functional with a semi-erection. So who needs youth and virility?)
It found that a man’s height bore no relation to the length of his member, but those with higher body mass indexes, or fat content, appeared to have shorter penises.
(So if you’re fat, you are double handicapped when it comes to the getting the babes department! Diet!!!)
“It seems that as someone gets older and fatter, his blood vessels change, so the penile size is not static. It may be a reflection of the condition of the person’s blood vessels,” Chan said, adding that this could spur yet another study.
(It’s worse when you get old! *gasp*)
By and by, I heard on the news today that the rate of miscarriages increases for not just moms who are above 35 but also for older dads! So you guys who are thinking of extending your bachelorhood for the maximum number of years…something else to consider…

See, I can do one of these news related post too! *bleahz*
