What is the average size of a penis? …the question so many men want a real answer to. There have been numerous charts, surveys and studies conducted regarding the average size of the human penis. The truth is, measuring a penis is no easy matter.

In his legendary studies, Alfred Kinsey measured 3,500 penises in the mid-1940s to determine what was indeed the average size of human penis. Every study I looked into basically listed the average penis as somewhere between 5.5 and 6.5 inches in length, with a girth between 3 and 4 inches in circumference.

Length of a penis is typically measured with the subject standing and the penis held parallel to the floor. Measurement of length goes horizontally along the top of the penis from the patient’s base to the tip. Girth is measured by using a tape measure.

The following information have been provided by the site that helped me the most, that is of course Penis-Health.com. At Penis-Health they also have large high quality pictures as well as videos tutorials on how to measure your penis. The erect length is what most men are interested in. It is best to measure from the side of the penis with the subject standing and the penis held parallel to the floor. Make sure you have a 100% erection and then hold your penis below the head and place the ruler next to it with your other hand. Measurement of length goes horizontally along the top of the penis from the base to the tip. This method is the standardized method that researchers use to measure the “average penis size” which is incidentally between 6″ - 6.5″ erect length.

Several studies have been performed to measure the average erection length.
Kinsey’s results have indicated that the average length of erected penis is 6.2 to 6.4 inches, with 23.9% of men falling into this category.

Another study conducted by Lifestyles Condom Co. in 2001 puts the average of a male sex organ at 5.877 inches, with about 2/3 ranging between 5.1 and 6.2 inches. They obtained this figure in Cancun during spring break, by letting a team measure the erections of hundreds of partying college students over 18 years old. 54% of subjects measured between 5.5 inches and 6.3 inches in erect length.

Average flaccid penis size

Now, let’s see about the average penis size not erected (soft). To measure accurately it is important that you measure from the side of the penis. Stand up straight and extend your flaccid penis in front of you without stretching it. Your penis should now be parallel with the floor. Place the ruler next to your penis so it is slightly pressing against the pubic bone. The ruler and your penis should be parallel with each other.

Many studies concluded that mean flaccid length was 8.8 cm (3.5 in).

Average penis size girth

Penis circumference is defined as the linear distance around the widest part of the erect penis. To measure the circumference of the penis, otherwise referred to as girth, make sure your penis is 100% erect and then proceed with the measuring. Hold your penis out in front of you so it is parallel with the floor. With your other hand place the tape measure around the penis making sure not to pull too tight. You can also use a string and then measure it with a ruler. The average erect girth is 5″ - 5.5″ according to recent surveys conducted.

Kinsey’s girth measurement average was 4.75 inches, with the majority of men clustered around 4.5 to 5 inches in circumference. All girth measurements were taken from around the middle of the penis.
According to the Lifestyles Condom Co. study, the average erect penis had a girth of 4.972 inches. About 75 percent of men were between 4.5 and 5.5 inches and 17 percent of erections measured under 4.5 inches.

Average penis size by age

These values represent the average erection length in each age group according to several studies and surveys.
The size of the penis changes during puberty. Penis grows in length first and girth slightly later and starts between the ages of about 10 to 14 years of age. Average teenage penis sizes and mature erected adults:

Average penis size by race

So, do black males have larger penises than average? Do Asians have smaller penises than average?

One study by a Canadian psychologist states that “penis size also varies moderately across populations, being largest among African populations, smaller among European populations, and smallest among East Asian populations”. Another study based on specifications for Condoms, indicate that black men on average have a slightly wider and longer penis size, white men have a medium size, and asian men a slightly narrower and shorter size. In a British study examining condom use, 18% of people of African descent, 7% of Caucasians and no Asians reported frequent breakage. A relatively higher incidence of micropenis has also been found in several Asian populations, including Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese samples.

Conclusion

The most likely average penis sizes:

The average length of an erect penis is about 6 inches (15,24 cm).
The average girth of an erect penis is about 5 inches (12,7 cm).
The average length of a flaccid penis is 3.3 inches (8,38 cm)

Moving from obscurity and myths into the lights shining on the outskirts of mainstream living, penis enlargement is the latest non-technological trend that comes to join modern life. In a world where trends come and go in a flash, penis enlargement has spent quite some time on the sidelines gathering a crowd of dedicated followers and aficionados. In time, knowledgeable individuals have turned into gurus who are pleased to help newcomers find their way around the many choices and paths of the penis enlargement world. Although male enhancement is not mainstream yet, this budding market is hot.

The penis enlargement market has also exploded into a wide range of products and services. No longer limited to weights and pumps, men can now choose between penis enlargement creams, pills, patches, pumps, traction devices, exercises, weights and surgery. Anyone who has enough money and time on his hands can try to make his dream come true. Frankly, adding a couple of inches to one’s penis has never been easier and a lot of men are taking advantage of this to improve their sex life and self-esteem. This is the biggest benefit of penis enlargement, although it may not be readily apparent.

Many people think that penis enlargement is a way to solve a strictly physical problem, but they’re wrong. All physical problems have a certain impact on the psychological side and a small penis can be the bane of many men. The knowledge of their perceived inadequacy eats them up from the inside and makes them do things in order to prove their self-worth. This is not a good way to live. But thanks to penis enlargement, this problem can be turned into a thing of the past, a memory that one may laugh at now and then. Extra inches on length and girth are a boon to the lover’s pleasure and to the owner’s confidence and self-esteem. Two problems solved with one simple solution is not bad at all.

And just imagine how good sex feels for a man whose penis has just acquired one or two inches in length and half and inch in girth. Better still, imagine what a pleasant surprise his lover is in for. It’s hotter than getting a new dress or hat and the old vibrator can be locked in a drawer because hubby is now bigger, better and longer-lasting. The man can be proud of his hard work and final achievement, while the lady can smile that pleased, cat-like smile.

The penis enlargement community is growing apace. One or two men claiming success with strange sounding techniques failed to make an impression on the masses. Dozens of men hanging around on forums and boasting their extra inches are bound to attract attention. After all, it’s impossible that every one of them should be lying or involved in some kind of conspiracy to fool unsuspecting newcomers. Check out the forum at www.mens-network.com to see what a budding community of penis enlargement practitioners looks like. You’ll notice right away that veterans don’t mind questions and are happy to guide newcomers through the early steps of the long road to extra inches. And every last one of them is delighted to boast his own achievements. Don’t get them started or you’ll never see the end of it.

All in all, the penis enlargement community is a nice place. Get some honest advice early on and make friends. They will help you avoid scams and other bad deals and put you on the best path to a bigger penis. Sharing your problem and working with others is your best option in this situation.

Penis enlargement may be a tough choice to make for some men, while others can decide in the blink of an eye if they are ready to give it a try or not. However, informing your significant other of this decision is not that simple. There is always the chance that she may not understand or appreciate your choice. So, is it better to come clean or stay mum on this one?

Some burdens are not meant to be carried alone. Being married or engaged in a long-term relationship shows that you are not a solitary individual, but one who needs and welcomes company. It’s only fair that you should open your heart and share this with your loved one. If you wish, you can use this as a test of your partner’s love, open-mindedness and desire to make you happy. However, you should be very careful when discussing this issue. What you want is to help your loved one pass this test by accepting and respecting your go at penis enlargement.

A successful approach means that you can take pills, wear a traction device or perform penis enlargement exercises without having to wait for your significant other to leave the house. It means you don’t have to come up with more excuses for staying in the bathroom fifteen minutes. It’s the end of all the lying and hiding that hurts the trust and respect which are the foundation of any consensual relationship. On the other hand, discussing penis enlargement might prove unfortunate for some people. If your significant other is too embarrassed or cannot accept this, then you have a big problem on your hands. Some people may not be open-minded enough to understand you are doing this for your own good.

Your best bet is to make a plan beforehand in order to make sure that you have a sensible response to whatever questions might arise. You need to sound convinced about penis enlargement and you should make your partner understand that you’ve thought everything through and concluded that penis enlargement is your best option. A good place to start is the widespread use of body modifications in today’s society. If women can have their breast enhanced and wrinkles erased, why should men abstain from enlarging their own penises?

Make sure your partner understands that you aren’t going to force any choices upon her and that you are going to do your best not to put yourself and her in any awkward situations. This should put her fears to rest and help ease the tension. If your partner cares about your well-being and happiness then it likely that she will put up with penis enlargement. Maybe even help you by giving a second opinion on enlargement equipment or substances used in pills. A different take on things might prove helpful.

Still, informing your partner is not mandatory. The final decision rests with nobody else but you and if you wish to surprise your significant other or think that the whole thing should be kept under wraps, then so be it. I simply recommend that you open your heart to your lover and give her the chance to help you and support you through penis enlargement.

The face of a man is usually an open book to most women. They can read practically anything in our faces. I’ve known ladies who could tell if the size of my penis, bank account and sex life by taking only one look at me. Of course, the look was followed by the lady’s departure in the opposite direction to where I was standing. Failure always leaves a mark on your face, just like success does. And women can read those marks awfully well. It’s even worse when you have a small penis and failure tends to follow failure in a pattern that grows bigger every day.

The first thing women notice about a man is his confidence level. A stoop-shouldered man with a downcast look has very little chance of actually getting a date from a decently-looking lady. On the other hand, a broad-chested guy with a confident look in his eyes and a swagger in his step is sure to catch the eye of most women. He may not get every single pretty babe, but he’ll sure as hell be noticed by each and every one. And trust me, nothing gives a man more confidence than a big penis. A man who knows that the schlong dangling in his pants is big enough to satisfy any woman walks around with an “I don’t have a care in the world” kind of aura. And women notice that

You can bet your life that women notice that. Women don’t care a lot what a man says, since most men have little to say that interests a woman. But they pay strict attention to the subtle signs in a man’s attitude. Women think: “If he looks confident, then there must be something about him that makes him so confident. This could be interesting”. And a big penis is your ticket to that show of confidence that is not an act or a sham, but the real thing. Are you suffering from low-confidence and anxiety? Are you afraid that women may look down on you? Then penis enlargement is the solution for you. The minute you stop worrying, it’s their turn to be anxious.

A big penis has a lot of benefits and no downsize that I can think of. Well, maybe if you decide to increase your penis size to 9 or 10 inches; that would be a problem. But if you stick to a nice 8 inches, then you’ll reap all the juicy benefits. Increased confidence, increased stamina in bed, increased control of your ejaculation, longer sex sessions and more pleasure for you and the lady, all these can be yours. Anxiety, depression and low self-esteem have no chance against a big penis and rock-hard erections that last much longer than before. Women will be impressed by the hefty dick that just keeps going and men will eye the bulge in your pants with envy. Now that’s what I call turning the tables!
