Fact check: Do we check our penis size when were. Hard

1. Summary of the results

The analyses reveal that none of the scientific sources directly address whether men check their penis size when erect. However, the research provides relevant behavioral insights:

• Studies show that men's self-reported erect penis length was greater than researcher-measured findings, suggesting men do engage with measuring their erect penis size but tend to embellish their responses ^{[1] [2]}
• Research indicates that men's self-perception of their genitals significantly impacts their mental health, with dissatisfaction linked to depression and anxiety ^[3]
• Studies examining motivations for penile augmentation procedures suggest ongoing concern about penis size among men ^[4]
• Most men believe average erect penis length is greater than 6 inches, while actual researcher-measured studies show lower averages ^[5]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important contextual information that the analyses reveal:

• Self-measurement behavior exists but is unreliable - while men do self-report erect measurements, these tend to be inflated compared to clinical measurements ^[1]
• Mental health implications - the question doesn't acknowledge that penis size concerns are tied to broader psychological well-being issues ^[3]
• Cultural and geographical variations - penis size varies significantly across regions, with men in the Americas having larger measurements on average ^[6]
• Medical vs. self-assessment context - there's a distinction between clinical measurement studies and personal self-assessment behaviors that the question doesn't address

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears to assume that checking penis size when erect is a universal or common behavior without providing evidence. The analyses suggest several potential issues:

• Lack of direct research - no studies specifically examine whether men routinely check their erect penis size ^{[6] [1] [2] [7] [5] [3] [4]}
• Conflation of self-reporting with routine checking - while studies show men can self-report erect measurements, this doesn't necessarily indicate regular checking behavior
• Missing psychological context - the question doesn't acknowledge that size-related concerns may be linked to body dysmorphia or mental health issues rather than routine measurement practices ^[3]

The question would benefit from more specific framing about what type of "checking" behavior is being investigated and acknowledgment of the psychological factors involved in male genital self-perception.
