Social desirability effect - people want to sound better than they may actually be. In this case, men may report that they're bigger than they actually are.

Because, relying on self-reporting of penis size is problematic, since some patients exaggerate or are unable or unwilling to measure the penis correctly. Also men who participate in these types of surveys often do not worry about there penis size so if there is a male that is a little embarassed there tends to be more exaggeration.

Because academic and scientific studies lie.

Because given the task, most men will measure underneath the penis and over the scrotum, as far as the anus!

I'm wondering who signs up to be the measurer in that survey.
