Average Penis Size (according to science)

[biancachica]

The British Journal of Urology published this paper on the average penis size recently so I thought I would share it. 15,521 men were measured by health professionals, so none of this self measuring stuff. They found that the average erect length is 5.16in (13.12cm) and the erect circumference is 4.59in (11.66cm). And the average flaccid length is 3.6in (9.16cm) and the average circumference is 3.7in (9.16cm). So guys, stop worrying about your size.

Oooh how sciencey. I guess you can't really argue with a 15k sample. Not that I was planning on it :P

Yup that study is quite true yet inaccurate given the small number of specimen studied. There are more than 15,000 guys around. Demographic location is also a factor given the Congo has the largest penises and Asia is at the bottom. And also the erect penile length diminishes over age. When around age 18 or 20 you are at your peak of growth, after that you shrink. I'm pretty sure most guys around 18 or 20 are at least 6 inches or more. Well at least I am! Lol.

Thanks for taking interest in my post! However, I would like to address some things in your comment.

I am aware that there are more than 15 000 guys around, however, I believe that this sample is one of the largest, making more accurate than most of the other studies. If there is a study that has a larger sample, please let me know. As for your statement regarding that Congo has the largest penises and Asia the smallest, I would like to see your source. I would have to agree that the Demographic location is a factor, which is why it is taken into account. From the compilation of the 51 studies, most of them are from different countries and continents, allowing for a diverse demographic sample. You also stated that the penis size diminishes over age which is mostly true, however the mean age of these studies is around 29 years old. If I were to believe that 18-20 year old males had above 6 inch penises (again, where is this information coming from), from what you said, I highly doubt that someones penis would shrink an inch until 30!

I'm sorry if this came out rude, it just bothered me, I had to say something! Please do not take this personally :)

I know right! I was impressed when I saw this :P

According to my experience (lol :lol3:) this is pretty accurate.

I'm not I'm just sayin. I guess what your saying is guys need to forget about the size and learn how to use it. Lol

Now all of a sudden I feel big instead of small.

Same here! Why the lol though? :P

Now all of a sudden I feel big instead of small.

And how does that make you feel? :P

I´ve done your survey.
Mine is 8'5 x 7 and i wonder how to become involved in one of these studies lol

Unfortunately there were only less than 700 in the erect studies (my gosh that must have been so awkward!). It is posited that stretched flaccid length is an accurate assumption of erect length, but less reliable.

There is such a thing as a micropenis xD, but only 0.14% of the populous have one.

In this link you can see country by country the number of participants, as well as all other conclusions.

And finally there is an answer, feet size is completely unrelated to erect length!

And guys, it's fine! 85% of women say they are happy with their partners size! The 15% who weren't said girth was more important to them than length.

Only 1% of the populous have a penis that is either abnormally large (above 7.5 inches) or abnormally small (below 3 inches). My boyfriend kept teasing me for a week when he read this about how lucky I am he's in the upper 1% :D.

It does make you question just how many guys are lying on here about their 8-12 inch penises, the entire 1% can't be hanging out (cough cough) on here!

I don't understand (especially on the Internet) why people lie about there size. Who decided that a big penis was cool in the first place anyway?

1% of 3.5 billion is about 35 million. Still a lot of people quite frankly that fall into those categories

Yes, but that's worldwide. It just seems extremely unlikely that so many teenage boys, around the same age, with access to the Internet, in mainly America - would nearly all have 8-12 inch penises. Just saying.

Really interesting as well that erect penis length remains unaffected by age in studies.
