We recommend that all men currently working on a penis enlargement routine use the size chart on a regular basis to consult and update their current size with their goal. It can be a wonderful tool for keeping on track and working toward your goal.

WORLD PENIS SIZE CHART

What Is The Average Erect Penis Size?

The numbers tend to vary regarding the average size of an erect penis.  However, the general consensus amongst studies on penis size is that the mean length is 5.1-5.9 inches (12.9-15 cm) with an average erect girth of 4.85 inches (12.3 cm).  There is no correlation between race and penis size.

Studies on Average Penis Size, Erect

The Journal of Urology published a study in 1996 entitled “Penile length in the flaccid and erect states: guidelines of penile agumentation,”claiming that average penis size was 5.08 inches (12.9 cm). The director of the Male Reproductive Center at New York’s Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Harry Fisch, has claims that the statistical average penis size is 5.4 inches (13.7 cm) while most penises fall between 4 and 6 inches.  According to a Lifestyles Condom Company study from 2001, average penis size is 5.9 inches (14.9).  This study chose only college student volunteers on Spring Break and has, by far, the largest mean average penis size.

Studies on Average Penis Size, Flaccid

In the same Journal of Urology study noted above (from 1996) it was found that the average (statistical mean) penis size for a flaccid penis was 3.5 inches (8.9 cm).  The study also noted that the correlation between average length of a flaccid penis and average length of an erect penis was weak.  That is, some large flaccid penises grow very little when erect and some small flaccid penises can become very large when erect.  As such, flaccid penis size is actually a poor indicator of erect penis size.

Average Penis Size, Girth

Like studies on average penis length, studies on penis girth have yielded varied results. A Study from the University of California San Francisco revealed average penis girth to be 4.9 inches (12.44 cm) in circumference while another study from the Lifestyles Condom Company found average penile circumference to be 5 inches (12.6 cm).  The girth (circumference) measurement is taken as an average of three measures on an erect penis.  The erect penis is measured at the base of the penis, in the middle of the shaft, and just below the glands to get a composite measure.

How to Accurately Measure the Size of Your Penis

For men who are interested in measuring their penis to see how it compares to the average size, there are a few simple steps to take.  These steps are as follows:

1. Manually stimulate your penis until it is fully erect
2. Using an accurate tape measure, measure the length of your penis from the base (where your penis meets your body) to the tip
3. Measure the girth of your penis by taking circumference measures at base of the penis, in the middle of the shaft, and just below the glands.  Add the sum of these three measures and divide that sum by 3 to get your penis girth measure

Small Penis Syndrome

Small Penis Syndrome (SPS) is a condition in which men believe that their penis is smaller than it actually is or that they believe their penis is too small even though it isn’t.  The condition is caused by variety of factors including societal depictions of average penis size that are inflated, the perspective at which men view their penis being skewed to make the penis smaller, and insecurity.  This condition can be sexually debilitating for men.

Conclusions Regarding Average Penis Size

Average penis size is a fluid term.  There is a statistical mean that states the average male penis is 5.1 to 5.9 inches in length and then there is the way men perceive their penis to be the appropriate size or not.  Penis enlargement is not just for people with smaller than average penises.  Rather, penis enlargement is for all men who are unsatisfied with their penis size and believe they can make their penis better.

What is the Average Penis Size?

There are many misconceptions regarding average penis size. The question of what is the average penis size is often eschewed by cultural conceptions, media depictions, and male insecurity.  Guesses as to how big the penis should be ranges anywhere from 2 to 10 inches. At Size Experts we aim to stop this sort of guessing by providing factual information.

The average penis size for an adult male is 4.0 – 6.2 inches (10.16–15.7 cm) while the median size is slightly smaller than this (visit our penis size chart).  This tends to be somewhat smaller than the general cultural conception of an average sized penis which misrepresents average penis size as 6-7 inches.  The result of the incongruence between actual penis size and cultural conceptions is that many men with average penis size feel inadequate.  Penis enlargement is often practiced by men with average sized penises who want to feel better about their size.  The reality is, average penis size is in the eye of the beholder.

How To Make Your Penis Bigger

Penis Enlargement Pills

Penis enhancement pills are a natural, safe and effective way to obtain a bigger penis. Penis pills can be chemical or herbal and usually take a few months to take effect.  They are very popular and very easy to use. In penis pills section I analyse the most popular products available online and how to make your penis bigger using pills.

Penis Extenders

Penis extenders are effective tools for penis enlargement. They work by stretching the penile tissues in an even, regular manner.  The tissues that are stretched become capable of holding more blood as there is more space in the corpora cavernosa. Stretching also promotes the creation of new penile tissue.  Stretching usually takes about 6 months for real, lasting effects to take hold.

Penis Enlargement Patches

Penis patches are effective tools that work in very much the same way as penis pills. The only difference is, rather than orally ingesting pills daily, a patch is worn over a prolonged period of time.  This patch releases supplements into the bloodstream in a sustained, even manner.  This option is excellent for men who have stomach problems (and may experience nausea from penis pills).

Penis Enlargement Exercises

Penis enlargement exercises work by stretching the penis and increasing its blood flow capacity. This process is similar to that of the penis extender however the effects are achieved manually, without the use of tools.  Regular penis exercise can achieve long-term penis growth.

Penis Surgery

Penis surgery is an expensive and risky penis enlargement option. Possible side effects include permanent scar tissue, inability to achieve and maintain and erection, and general dissatisfaction. While the gains in size are not extremely impressive (0.7-1.2 inches), the benefit of this process is that it is immediate. This potentially harmful process should be highly considered before chosen.
