Terms of Use

Dickle is operated by Flavius Cojocaru, an individual based in Romania, reachable at flaviuscojocaru19@gmail.com. There is no company behind it and no team. When these terms say “we”, that is who they mean.

By loading any page on this site you accept the terms below. If you do not accept them, stop using the site; there is nothing to cancel and no account to close, because there are no accounts.

Dickle is intended for adults. It contains no imagery, nothing explicit and nothing designed to titillate, but it discusses human anatomy in clinical terms throughout and it is not written for children.

This is the clause that matters. Read this one if you read none.

Every number on this site is a population average from a published study, measured by clinicians under a stated method, in a stated sample, in a stated year. It describes a group. It says nothing whatsoever about any individual, including you, and the variation between men inside any single country in this game is far larger than the gap between any two countries in it.

Nothing here is medical advice, a diagnosis, a screening tool, or a standard to measure yourself against. We publish these figures because the alternative on this subject is a search results page full of invented numbers attached to something for sale, and an accurate citation is better than that. That is the entire ambition.

If something about your body worries you, a doctor is the right next step and a website with a guessing game on it is not. Distress about size in men of entirely typical anatomy is common, well documented, and treatable, and the treatments with evidence behind them are not the ones being advertised.

A free daily puzzle. Each day it names one country and asks you to guess the average published for it, with five tries and higher-or-lower feedback. Alongside the game it publishes the same data as a reference, each row carrying the study it came from, and a set of written guides about how the figures are produced and why so many of the numbers in circulation are wrong.

It is offered as it is. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or that your saved streak will survive a browser that clears its own storage. Game progress lives only in your browser; nothing is backed up anywhere, because nothing is sent anywhere.

The literature here is uneven, and we would rather say so than paper over it. Studies differ in how they measure, in how their participants were recruited, and in how many men they measured. Where a country’s widely circulated figure could not be traced to a primary study, the row says so rather than borrowing credibility it has not got.

If a figure here is wrong, or you can point us at a better study for a country, tell us and it gets fixed. The corrections policy explains what happens to a report and how quickly.

The written guides, page copy, layout, code and artwork on this site are ours. You may quote a reasonable extract with attribution and a link. You may not republish a guide in full, mirror the site, or feed it wholesale into a product that reproduces it.

The underlying figures are not ours to license: they belong to the studies that produced them, and each row names its source precisely so that you can go to the paper instead of to us. If you are citing a number, cite the study. The methodology page sets out how the table was assembled and what its limits are.

Automated bulk collection, scraping at a rate that degrades the site for other people, and any attempt to work around the measures that keep the day’s answer hidden are all out of bounds.

The site is free and is supported by advertising served through Google AdSense. Ads are kept out of the way of the game itself and no unit is placed so that a mis-tap registers as a click.

We do not choose which specific ads Google serves and an ad appearing here is not an endorsement. Given the subject, twice for the record: Dickle has never sold, promoted or accepted payment from any enlargement product, supplement, device or clinic, and it never will. If you see an advert of that kind on this site, it is one the network served and one we want reported. Email it to us and it gets blocked. What data advertising involves is set out in the privacy policy.

The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We are not liable for loss arising from your use of the site or from reliance on any figure published on it.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. If you are a consumer, you keep every statutory right your local law gives you, whatever this page says.

We may revise these terms. When we do, the “last updated” date at the top of this page changes with them, and continuing to use the site afterwards means you accept the revision. We do not keep a public archive of previous versions; if you need one, save the page.

These terms are governed by the law of Romania, and the courts there have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the European Union, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country.

Questions about these terms, corrections, a better source for a country, a bad advert, and anything else go to flaviuscojocaru19@gmail.com, or through the contact page.
