5.5" IS thick, and will look thick on camera no matter what. Yet around here (it's not just you) 5.5" seems to be the default girth estimation when the guy doesn't look either thick or really thin. Basically it's the same as saying that every guy that looks a bit longer than average is 7".
But it's porn. Most guys are at least somewhat above average in 1 or the other dimensions, usually both and in varying degrees. Based on studies 5.5 girth is about proportional in terms of rarity as 7 inches if that 7 is bone pressed btw. In nbp length 5.5 would be about as rare as 6.5 if that.
For a guy who is 8 or longer, 5.5 girth looks about the size Lex looks like to me judging by his length/girth proportion. Look at the length, we can barely find guys under maybe 5.5 nbp yet the average irl is around there. Similarly it is rare to find girths under 5.
