    As with all things, you can arrive at trustworthy estimates for things by surveying a sampling of people and then applying statistics. You don’t have to ask every person on earth. This is called the law of large numbers.

    Also, they are defining micropenis as 2.6 inches so there are probably even more people who don’t meet this definition but would like more size.

      But in general, people with a small penis add a few centimeters when asked about their size. Some also add a few inches but no one knows what that ancient system works like. So when I hear a penis size in inches it already sounds small.

        Yeah. We’re on a different topic now from “how do they know - no one asked me.”

        I would hope they made this very anonymous to reduce any incentive to lie. But I am sure dudes even lie to themselves, so it is probably difficult to get good numbers. Maybe someone has studied how much people lie about this and they used that to adjust the estimates?
