With penis size having great physiological and physiological importance, it is often important to note the average size of the penis. Penis length is typically measured while a subject is standing with the penile shaft pointing downwards. Several academic and clinical studies have been conducted in order to establish this data. Studies by the Journal of Urology and the International Journal of Impotence Research have noted that the average erect length ranges between 5 to 5.4 inches.

Average Penis Girth 

Girth typically refers to the circumference or width of the penis. The average penis circumference ranges between 4.75 to 5.00 inches. Although this is the average length, many men range between 4.25 inches in circumference to 5 inches.

Does Race Affect Penis Size?

There are a variety of myths concerning the size of the penis and its correlation to race. Popular culture has promoted the notion that males of African descent may have larger genitalia while those of Asian descent are smaller in length. These are all common misconceptions, as penis size is generally dispersed and variable amongst the population. There have been no scientific studies that have shown a correlation between race and penis size. These popular notions have been blamed for “penis envy” within the media; however, researchers continue to study the preferences of women with respects to penis size.

Preferred Penis Size  

Studies have been conducted by a series of research firms pertaining to women’s preferences in relation to penis size. Although length does play a role in the satisfaction of women, a study by a Women’s Health group noted that girth was a more important factor. Out of the 400 women surveyed through a random sampling method, majority of these women emphasized the importance of girth, particularly during sexual intercourse and for sexual stimulation.

Facts about penis size

Even in this supposedly enlightened century, men fret about penis size. Though the vast majority of guys have more than enough bulk to perform well as lovers, there is a widespread masculine obsession that 'more would be better'.

We get a constant flow of emails and letters from males who are worried that they are 'too small'. Vast sums of money can be made by exploiting this obsession, but other than surgery, there is little that is clinically proven to increase penis size.

Any woman reading this article may find it puzzling that so many men are concerned about the length of their penis and wish they had 'just a couple of inches more'. But that's the way that a lot of men are.

Size matters

To the average man, his penis is, consciously or unconsciously, one of the most important things in the whole world. At an early age he discovers it and immediately becomes fascinated by it.

But then a note of uncertainty enters his mind: 'Isn't mine rather small?' Look at Dad's, look at big brother's, look at those in the men's changing room - and he asks himself if he will be as big as that.

And so he goes on through life, always a tiny bit sensitive about the size of his organ, always convinced that it would be nicer if it were just that little bit longer.

No matter how often it's written that penile size doesn't matter, and that women aren't attracted to a man because of the length of his organ, the average male continues to think the same way.

The average female cannot understand this obsession with penile measurement. So if you're a woman, never belittle a man's penis in bed, even as a joke, or say anything to indicate that you think it's small. The guy may take you seriously, and if he does, he'll be deeply hurt.

We have known men who have gone on to have problems with impotence (erectile dysfunction) after someone made an unthinking remark about their dimensions. But almost all of these men had a perfectly normal male organ. Each one just thought he was very small compared with other men.

A question of perspective

The trouble is that every man sees his own penis in a foreshortened view. The angle at which you look down inevitably makes your penis seem shorter than it is.

But when you glance at another man's organ, there's no such foreshortening effect, so very often it'll look as though the other guy is slightly better endowed.

A lifetime of comparison of this sort (and virtually every male does a quick mental check on each naked man he sees) can easily make you feel a bit inadequate. But it's important to realise the facts about penis length.

Average penis length

A non-erect penis usually measures between 8.5cm and 10.5cm (3-4 inches) from tip to base.

The average figure is about 9.5cm (3.75 inches), but this kind of precise measurement is rather valueless. Many factors can cause a temporary shrinkage of two inches or more, for instance cold weather or going swimming, so you needn't worry if you happen to fall short of the average figure.

Of course, it's true that some men have big penises and some have smaller ones, just as some men have small feet and some have big feet, but the measurement is not - repeat not - an index of virility.

Most people think that a tall man will usually have a large penis, but this is not true. The distinguished American researchers Masters and Johnson measured the penile lengths of more than 300 men.

• The largest organ was 14 cm (5.5 inches) in the flaccid state. It belonged to a slim man who was 5' 7" tall (170 cm).

• The smallest penis measured 6cm (2.25 inches). It belonged to a fairly heavily built man of 5' 11" (180cm).

It's also worth pointing out that there is no correlation between penile size and race.

We've talked about the length of the penis in its ordinary non-erect state, but how long should it be when it's erect?

Interestingly, most penises are very much the same size when erect.

• The man whose non-erect penis is smallish will usually achieve about a 100 per cent increase in length during sexual excitement.

• The man whose non-erect penis is on the largish size will probably manage about a 75 per cent increase.

• This means the great majority of penises measure between 15cm and 18cm (6-7 inches) when erect, with the average figure being about 16.5cm (6.5 inches).

So you can see that even if a man has got a 'small' penis, he's got a built-in compensating factor that will bring him up to about the same size as the guy who appears to be 'better equipped' in the shower room.

Sex and women

Virtually every man forgets that it doesn't matter how long or how short your penis is, because the vagina will accommodate itself to any length.

• The vagina of a woman who hasn't had a child is only 7.5cm (3 inches) long when she's not sexually excited. The figures for women who have had babies are only slightly different.

• Even when aroused, a woman's vagina usually extends only to a length of about 10cm (4 inches).

This means any man's penis will fill her vagina completely, unless you happen to be one of those rare guys with an erect penile length of less than four inches.

You're probably now wondering how the average man with an erection of six inches manages to insert his penis into the vagina at all.

The vagina has the most remarkable capacity for lengthening if something is introduced into it gradually.

So the exceptional man whose erect penis is eight inches long can still make love to any woman, providing he excites her properly and introduces his organ very slowly. If he does this, her vagina will lengthen by 150 or 200 per cent to accommodate him.

What if I'm not happy about my penis size?

If you're really worried that your penis is the wrong size, go and see your doctor.

If you're not happy about consulting your GP on such an intimate matter, you could see one of the medics who spend their entire day checking men's penises. You can find these doctors at:

• private 'well-man' clinics, but take care: a few of these are run by quacks

• NHS urology clinics

• NHS sexual medicine clinics

• NHS genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics

• NHS family planning clinics, although these tend to be oriented towards women and don’t have much time to deal with males.

• Brook advisory clinics (for the under 25s).

What treatments are there to increase penis size?

Many companies claim they know how to enlarge your penis - for a price.

We have been to several medical conferences this year at which leading experts have spoken about penis size and penis enlargement.

Their opinions on the various methods that are so widely advertised to the public can be summed up as follows.

• Pills or patches for increasing penis size: a complete waste of time.

• Penile enlargement surgery: of uncertain value and sometimes dangerous.

• Penile enlargement exercises: probably pretty futile.

• Penile suction devices: probably of little use.

Several European experts say that the relatively new stretcher or extender devices may sometimes be of value in giving a man a little extra length.

PENIS SIZE SURVEYS

Every man wants to know if they are average or not? hopefully they are not below averages other wise what do they do? The problem is unfortunately there is no definitive answer to this question. Many researches have been done and the average penis size as ranged from 6 inches to 6.5 inches, the question is which study to believe. Durex have been running a online study for many years now and you can see their results by visiting their site..

The study which should be the most accurate is the report done by The Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for sex. The largest sample of 10,000 men were measured and then the results compiled. The results showed the average was 6-6.5 inches in length. Average girth is 5-5.5 inches See graph below:

The size of your penis doesn't have a relationship with anything else. For example a person with big feet does NOT necessarily have a 9 inch penis. Whether you are above or below the average ask yourself does it really matter? If you feel comfortable with the way your penis looks then it is not an issue. If not then you could do what I did and set about enlarging your penis. See links on the left.

THE MEASURE OF THE MAN                                                 

What is Average?

The quick answer is that the average length is somewhat under 6"

& the circumference is just under 5".

Or to be more exact, the average length seems to be between 5.65" and 5.87". The average circumference between 4.67" and 4.97". Both depending on how you interpret the data.

If you really want to go into detail, just keep reading.

Here is the only survey that I've found that was anything like scientific, so probably gives as accurate an average as you are going to get.

Conducted research into the average length and circumference of the erect penis during Spring Break in Cancun and found that the average penis length is 5.877 inches, with the majority ranging between 5.5 inches and 6.3 inches.

The average girth is 4.972 inches, with the majority ranging between 4.7 inches and 5.1 inches.

From March 11 to 17, a total 401 males over the age of 18 were measured, one at a time, by qualified medical staff (protected by gloves) in private tents at the Dady Rock nightclub in Cancun, Mexico. Of the 401 men, 300 were able to gain an erection for measurement — a success rate of only 75%.

Measurement methodology

   Click HereClick Here   

The following criteria were enforced by a doctor and a team of four nurses, who attended each of the seven nights of the penis size research. Measuring of length was from the point at the base of the erect penis where the top of the penile shaft meets the pubic area to the tip of the glans ("head"). For uncircumcised men, the foreskin was retracted. Measuring of girth was at mid-shaft around the circumference of the penis when the penis was erect. Failure to gain an effective erection for measurement disqualified the volunteer from being included in the data for the calculation of average erect penis length and girth.

Environment

The majority of participants were U.S. college men, but it was not limited to this group. Volunteers were asked to enter a private area, where they would gain an erection and then call for the two nurses to measure their erect penis. (Male fantasy overload.) To ensure the accuracy of the data, each erect penis was measured by two of the nurses. A doctor supervised the nurses and all activity.

Volunteers tended to be groups of friends, which helped ensure a wide range of penis sizes (big and small) and provide a more accurate average figure.

Sample size

The sample included 401 male volunteers, of which only 300 were "effective" male volunteers (75 percent), because 101 volunteers (25 percent) could not gain an erection for measurement. At 300 effective measurements, the study was twice the size of any previous study that used medical staff to measure penis size. This method is more accurate and reliable than studies in which volunteers undertake self-measurement/reporting.

The average erect penis length was 5.877 inches (14.928 cm). Standard deviation was 0.825 inches (2.096 cm) with 54 percent of the effective sample measuring between 5.5 inches (14 cm) and 6.3 inches (16 cm).
