Average Penis Size Thoughts

Average Penis Size Thoughts

I have been visiting this website fairly regularly since last October (2014). There are a lot of things that I have noticed about the questions posted here. Most prominent among those things is how frequently people post about their penis, or ask if they are "normal." There are many posts that I have seen that seem to be people seeking attention. But there are others that are genuinely seeking honest opinions.

In the age of the internet this information is widely accessible. However, I understand that many people enjoy learning and discussing this topic while interacting with others. Reading stats and information on some website can be informative, but is usually rather dull.

Based upon all of this I have decided to try to bring information and statistics from across the internet into this post. This hopefully will offer some solid, reliable information and create an environment for open discussion that is enjoyable.

"The most accurate measurement of the human penis comes from several measurements at different times since there is natural minor variability in size due to arousal level, time of day, room temperature, frequency of sexual activity, and reliability of measurement. The mean of an erect human penis is approximately 12.9–15.0 cm (5.1–5.9 in) in length. Flaccid penis length is a poor estimate of erect length."--Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_penis_size

"For adults, the average penis size is about 14-16cm (5.5-6.3 inches) when erect. The average girth for an erect penis is 12-13cm (4.7-5.1 inches).A penis would only be considered unusually small if it was less than 3 inches (7.6cm) long when erect.The measurements are based on a review of 50 studies on penis size conducted since 1942, which between them have measured 11,531 penises."--NHS (UK); https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/penis-health/Pages/penis-size.aspx

"(American)The study found an average penis size as follows:Erect penile length of 14.2 centimeters (5.6 inches); Erect penile circumference of 12.2 centimeters (4.8 inches.)"--medical News Today; https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/271647.php

"The average American man's penis is 5.6 inches (14.2 centimeters) long when erect, a new survey of 1,661 men finds. Penises come in all shapes and sizes. The smallest erect penis in the study was about 1.6 inches (4 cm) long, and the largest was 10.2 inches (26 cm) long. The average penile girth was about 4.8 inches (12.2 cm)."--LiveScience; https://www.cbsnews.com/news/reseachers-determine-average-us-penis-size/

"The average penis size is between five and six inches. That's for an erect penis.The flaccid male organ averages around three and a half inches."--WebMD; https://www.webmd.com/men/features/sex-fact-fiction?page=2

Summary and Closing Thoughts:

  • According to the brief research that I conducted an average penis is approximately 5.6 inches (14.2 centimeters) long and 4.8 inches (12.2 cm) in girth. This is average.
  • In my own experience women tend to exaggerate the size of penises they have seen. Ladies, please refrain from commenting on the exact size of a guys penis unless you measure it. You may be unknowingly perpetrating unrealistic standards for men.
  • Guys and Girls: When measuring a penis there is a way that is the industry standard.--(1) Start off by measuring the length of your penis. All you need to do is use a ruler or measuring tape. Position the ruler or measuring tape at the base of your penis (where it attaches to your body on top of the shaft - make sure to press into the pubic bone as far as you can because fat can actually hide the length of your penis). Measure your penis length by marking how long it is from the base all the way to the end of the tip. Write down this number and label it penis length. (2) Measure Penis Girth - Now you will be measuring around your penis, basically figuring out its circumference/thickness, or penis girth. For this step, you need to use a piece of string (or something similar) or a soft measuring tape. Gently wrap the string one time around the thickest part of the shaft/body of your erect penis (yes, it still needs to be erect!). Mark where the string meets and then measure the distance of the string with a ruler.--https://contraception.about.com/od/malecondom/ht/Penis-Size.htm;

In conclusion, Penis size is usually not something to worry about. Most men are normal or "average." Be confident with what you have and don't let a number dictate how you feel about yourself.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • Why do guys put so much focus on penis size? It's the small penises that get the most pussy.

  • My penis is too small to penetrate my fiance. She ended up losing her virginity to a girl with a strapon. Needless to say i dont use my penis for sex anymore. If my fiance wants sex she either has sex with her girlfriend or does my ass with her strapon. Penis size definitely matters

    • Damn , just become a tranny because you're basically her bitch

    • @lovelywiz who hurt you?

  • That's all well and good for MOST men, but what about the few poor guys like me who are below the average?

    • The G-spot is only about 3" in, and there is always oral/fingering.

  • When I'm at my hardest I'm 6.75, but sometimes I'm at 6 inches. I'm happy I'm not "small"

  • I'm actually only 14 years old and my penis is approximately 7.3 in. I don't know if this is unhealthy or abnormal in any way, or if it is even done growing. But sometimes I'm afraid that it is too large to the point where it would be deemed "undesirable" by women.

    But um... if this is a bad thing in any way, please let me know. Much appreciated!

    • You can visit BDP (big dick problems) web sites. They have advise on condoms, sex positions and other issue to deal with your issues.

  • When I measured in middle school I was barely above 5 inches so I always thought I had a small or average dick but I measured a month ago and I'm above 6 inches, in as little as a week my dick went from looking small and inadequate in my eyes to looking bigger than normal. The moral of the story is that if you're around average length, your pre-conception of how big your dick is will determine how big it looks to you. If you think it's small it will seem small and if you think it's big it will seem big. If you're in the 5-7 range then most women will be happy so don't worry about it.
