hung = dumb?

Oh, this reminds me: As human skull size increased (and became neotenous), human vagina size had to increase to accommodate. And thus human penis size increased to accommodate.

Penis size is also related to sexual selection. In other apes it goes

Savannah: Thank you, AnonyMs. Both my daughters were married within the last 6 months, a move, and a job change dictated my absence. Nice to be missed.....

Liberty9.5: OTOH, let's be honest guys.

We're men. Whenever any of us get hard-ons, it's generally noticed we're not usually at our intellectual best. So maybe it's when we're in our erect state that we hung types are ..duh..noticeably...urggh (drool)...a littel dummer than udder guys...uhh....I gotta escooze myself now....

Icarus213: The dumb-hung stereotype might be related to the dumb jock stereotype. Since a large penis is usually associated with masculine traits like strength and muscle, it might have tagged along with the jock stereotype of low intelligence as well.
 
TragicWhiteKnight: There's two important factors on this topic that have been overlooked despite being 4 pages long, being utterly obscured by unnecessary braggadocio. While there's certainly truth in jonb & Icarus' ideas, there's also a question of exposure (no terribly poor pun intended) - penis size is by and large (again, no pun intended) a private matter (could private be a pun on 'privates'? Either way, no pun intended).

1) Opportunities to see men nude, especially well-hung men, are pretty much limited to areas which show no sign of academic learning (until they open up a MENSA sponsored nude beach, anyhow). 'Professionals' like porn actors or (to a lesser extent) strippers will be assumed to be dumb because of the lowliness of their profession [not the bad quality of the script] (otherwise, they'd have a real job). Similarly, guys at the gym are more likely to be bodybuilders than scholars (yes, you can be both, but there'll be a majority of men concerned with their bodies not their minds, regardless of natural intelligence); consequently those who've put more effort into their bodies are going to be the one's most willing to show them off at nude resorts, or via casual sex.

2) In cases where penis size is given without sight, this can be seen as a breach of social convention - i.e. a lack of social intelligence. By this, I mean that for a man to reveal his cock size in the course of everyday conversation, especially attempting to use it as a way to impress girls, would be seen as pretty dumb and ignoring the fact there are plenty more important things. This situation is multiplied over the Internet where some (believe it or not) guys lie about their penis size; these people help give the well-hung a bad name.

Yet some of us have such jobs because we're not so dumb; I'm smart enough to realise that no 'real job' I'm qualified for is likely to generate as much income as my current chosen 'profession'.
 
bustyredhead: Agreed. While it's sadly true that too many females who get into the sex industry are not exactly financial wizzes, I've met a few guys who are quite intelligent who strip or escort. They're the geniuses of all guys - getting paid to do what other men pay to do. lol

Anyways, I look at it like this; the analogy between dick size and intelligence is exactly as valid as that between breast size and intelligence.

Gasp! :eek: Are you suggesting men may exaggerate the size of their penis here on the Internet? I am deeply offended! Me and my 17 inch penis will be leaving now, to go to my supermodel girlfriend's house where I will have a hot 4-way with her and her two supermodel friends.
