In contrast to stereotype reinforcers like Anne Louis' hysterical Predicting the Penis (and opposed to pseudoacademic trash like Griffin's Penis Enlargment Facts and Fallacies), this very important Hong Kong study should finally lay to rest the common misconceptions about chinese size.

"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 Centre 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." 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 cm, which compared favourably with similar studies on other men overseas. Germans have average lengths of about 8.6 cm, Israelis 8.3 cm, Turks 7.8 cm and Filippinos 7.35 cm. Italians were the longest at 9 cm and Americans averaged 8.8 cm.

You'd think that would settle it. However, the study only mentioned non-erect penises, so there is still another study to be done.
