Shocking Stats
Statistics make me crazy. Researchers are always spouting off statistics about how the “average man” or the “average woman” has this long of a cock or can’t get sexually excited after a certain age. The fact is that “averages” really mean nothing. An average is just the middle of the road. It isn’t the majority.
Let’s take penis length for instance. If you have 10 men that are 6 inches, 10 that are 7 inches, 8 that are 8 inches and 6 that are 9 inches then on the other end of the spectrum there are 4 guys that are only 4 inches, 6 guys that are 5 inches and two guys that are two and three inches. According to those stats (46 guys) the average is 6.5. But the fact is that more than half of those guys are actually bigger than that (24 to be exact). So stats don’t necessarily portray accurate results when they are talking about averages.
If they are talking ratios well, it all depends on how many people were in the sample. If they did a study to see how many times a guys contracted AIDS from an infected women and in the study they followed 20 women who had each had sex with 30 guys since becoming infected and only 10 of those guys contracted HIV themselves the ratio would be 1:60 meaning that if an infected woman had sex with 60 guys only one of them would end up being infected. But you also need to consider that these were only 20 women and you have to consider the time that these guys were followed. People have shown results of being infected up to 12 years after the intial exposure.
These are just examples. Just remember that there are many factors to consider in research so while research may show a small picture of a controlled setting they aren’t necessarily reflective of real life. So the next time someone tells you that statistically women are more prone to this or guys are more likely to that remember that it’s only a statistic. It’s not real life.
