Penis & testicle size - from the small penis support groups It's not difficult to find out about the size of the average male member - there are lots of surveys on the Internet and in in scientific journals, and you can easily work out the average size ranges. When you ask men to measure their own penis, they consistently get longer results than when doctors or nurses measure it! So, taking all the surveys, working out the average, and then adjusting the results in favor of those where docs and nurses measured the guys' penises, here are the most reliable figures: Average soft (flaccid) penis length = 33 inches (84 cm) Average erect length = 59 inches (150 cm). For men with a foreskin, this measurement is taken with the foreskin held back. There's an explanation of where this figure comes from, and how to measure your erect penis lower down this page. Average erect shaft girth (circumference) = 49 inches (124 cm) 42% of men have an erection thickest around the coronal ridge of the glans (ie the head or bell-end) 27% of men have an erection thickest somewhere along the shaft 14% of men have an erection which is the same thickness all along the shaft 12% of men have an erection thickest at the base By the way, a good way of testing the reliability of penis size data on the Internet is to look at the information about girth. This is often wildly - impossibly, in fact - inaccurate, and when it is, the length data associated with it probably isn't worth much either. The problem arises because guys confuse girth and diameter. So get a piece of string and make it as long as the girth measurement stated, then bring the two ends together in a circle. Now - does that look big enough to go around an erect penis or not? You'll find that for an adult, anything under 49 or 5 inches is less than average, and anything under 45 inches is quite rare, because even short penises tend to be reasonably thick.
The Penis Website And of course, as your own experience has likely shown you, in the flaccid state, the male organ has no single length, but varies with the temperature, emotional state, activity, and other environmental influences. The figures for flaccid penis length really are an average of all kinds of factors!

In fact, one that's less than three inches long when it's soft increases in size by 250 % on average when it gets erect, but one that's over three inches long when soft only increases in size by just over 160% on average. The end result of this is that most male penises are the same length - between 55 and 6 inches when erect. Erection size and age The penis tends to stop growing by age 16, though of course there are always some late developers. Here is a table of average erect penis size and age: Average erect length, by age Age Erect length (inches) erect length (cm) 11 30 76 12 38 97 13 49 124 14 54 137 15 57 145 16 58 147 17 59 150 18 59 150 19 59 150 Penis size (and vagina size) and race It's the oldest of old clichs, of course - that Asian men are smaller and black men are longer. Well, the fact is that black men reply much less than white men to Internet penis size size surveys. You might think this was because they were happier and less obsessed with their penises than white men - and that this in turn might be because they had bigger penises on average than whites. It's a reasonable assumption if you believe that most men would prefer a bigger cock. The best answer to this is that black men are indeed bigger than whites - but not by a lot. The perceived difference seems to come from the fact that there are a comparatively many more black men who have much larger than average erect and soft penises - I guess these images stand out in the memory more! What is almost certainly true is that Asian men are about half an inch smaller on average when erect, and Native Americans, for example, tend to be a bit smaller still. One interesting thing about this is that the vagina of each of these races is built to perfectly fit the penis of the corresponding male. According to one French army surgeon, who presumably traveled a lot (to paraphrase): "There are many distinctions between races. In women, the placement of female genitals is different (Orientals front and high; In men, the angle and texture of erection is different (Orientals parallel to body and stiff, blacks at right angles to body and flexible). And the size of the genitals is different (Orientals smallest, blacks largest). We averaged the ethnographic data on erect penis size and found the averages to be approximately: Orientals: 4 to 55 inches in length and 125 inches in diameter whites (Caucasians): 55 to 6 inches in length and 15 inches in diameter blacks: 625 to 8 inches in length and 2 inches in diameter. Women were proportionate to men, with Orientals having smaller vaginas and blacks larger ones relative to Caucasians. Variations were noted: in the French West Indies, the size of the penis and vagina varied with the amount of black genetic mixing. Arab men, who were often mixed with black, had larger penises than Europeans. Measurements taken from living subjects as well as those at autopsy, show the size of testicles is twofold lower in Asian men than Europeans (9 grams versus 21 grams), a difference too large to be accounted for entirely in terms of body size." How to measure your own erect penis Measure the length from the point at the base of your erect penis where the upper surface of the penile shaft meets the pubic area to the tip of the glans ("head"). Measure the girth at mid-shaft around the circumference of the penis when your penis is erect. If your cock has a banana shape, or a curve, use a piece of string laid along the length.
The Penis Website during May / June 2003, which involved over 1500 men. The Lifestyles company conducted research into the average length and circumference of the erect male member during Spring Break 2001 in Cancun. From March 11 to 17, a total 300 males over the age of 18 were measured, one at a time, by qualified medical staff (protected by Ansell Medi-Touch gloves) in private tents at the Dady Rock nightclub in Cancun, Mexico. Apparently they wanted to design a better condom, to ensure that they are sized properly, are comfortable, and won't slip. The measurements were done by a doctor and a team of four nurses, who attended each of the seven nights of this research. Length was measured 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. Girth was measured at mid-shaft when the penis was erect. The majority of participants were US 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 qualified nurses to measure their cock. To ensure the accuracy of the data, each man was measured by two of the nurses. Volunteers tended to be groups of friends, which helped ensure a wide range of penis sizes (big and small) and provided a more accurate average figure. At 300 effective measurements, this 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 where volunteers undertake self-measurement / reporting.
The Penis Website in May/June 2003, with over 1500 men taking part. Comparative research There have been previous research studies on this subject, but they have all had shortcomings that produced unreliable data making the results doubtful, at best. Kinsey Institute for Sex Report 62 inches 48 inches Self-measurement process. Durex Internet Survey 64 inches 52 inches Self-measurement process. Brazilian Urologist 57 inches 47 inches Only measured 150 men. It is fair to say that in all cases where medical staff have measured erect penis size, the average length has been below 6 inches; in every case where the surveys rely on self-measurement and voluntary reporting the average leaps to over six inches. Interestingly, average girth remain...
