Sponsorship

Dickle takes sponsorship, within limits it will not move. This page is the whole offer: what the site is, who reads it, what a sponsor gets, and the categories that are refused however much they pay.

If that reads as unusually restrictive for a site this size, it is. The restrictions are the product.

What this is

A daily guessing game with a men's-health publication attached. Each day names a country and asks for its published average stretched penile length. Around it sit 23 country reference pages, 19 long-form guides, a methodology page that states how every figure can be wrong, and an openly licensed dataset covering 35,830 measured men.

The subject is one where almost everything published is either a joke or an advert for a supplement. This site is neither, and the audience is here because of that.

Who reads it

Two groups, arriving very differently. Players come for the daily puzzle and return out of habit. Readers arrive from search on a health question and stay for the sourcing — that traffic skews towards men looking for a straight answer about their own body, and it is the more valuable half for anyone selling something honest.

Traffic figures are not published on this page, on purpose. The site is young and any number here would be out of date within a month and unverifiable while it lasted. Current analytics and search data are sent in full on request, as screenshots from the source rather than as a claim. Ask.

What can be bought

  • A placement on the reveal screen — the moment after a player finishes, which is the only point in the game where attention is not on a guess. Never during play.
  • A placement at the foot of a guide — after the piece and before the sources. Never inside the body of an article. These pieces cover shame, body image and clinical anxiety, and interrupting a paragraph on testicular cancer with an advert is exactly what this site exists to argue against.
  • Support for the dataset — funding the research that adds a country, acknowledged on the dataset page and in the changelog. This is the one that actually improves the thing, and the one worth asking about first.

Every placement is labelled as an advertisement in the markup and in the copy. Links carry rel="sponsored".

What is refused

No amount changes these, and they are listed publicly so that nobody has to ask.

  • Penis-enlargement products of any kind — pills, pumps, extenders, creams, surgical marketing. The site documents that this industry sells on a body-image anxiety it also manufactures. Taking its money would make every word here worth nothing.
  • Testosterone clinics, “male enhancement” telehealth and supplement brands trading on the same anxiety by a more respectable name.
  • Anything requiring a change to the data or the copy. A figure, a study citation, a caveat or a ranking is not for sale, and neither is the removal of one.
  • Adult sites, dating products and anything sexualising the subject. This is a health publication and the register is not negotiable.

How to ask

Email flaviuscojocaru19@gmail.com with what you sell and where you want it. A direct answer comes back either way, usually within a few days.

Reader support is the other side of this and is deliberately kept separate: see support this site. The standards a sponsorship cannot override are set out in the editorial policy.
