What Is The Average Size Of A Mans Penis

Size by country

Penis sizes by origin

How to measure

In principle, the length is e'er measured on the upper side from the root of the shaft to the tip of the glans. If there is a fat pad in a higher place the root, this may be slightly pressed in during measurement. To measure the circumference, one normally takes the circumference at the root. In some studies, the circumference of the glans was measured instead, which is why this data would exist very contradictory and was therefore not included in the evaluation.

Relation to body height

tape measure Only a few studies have been able to establish a correlation betwixt torso size and penis length. If at all, the correlation is marginal. Some studies even explicitly point out that they have not constitute a correlation. The tabular array to a higher place tin confirm this to some extent. The shortest lengths are constitute in countries with a similarly pocket-sized body size. From an erect length of about 12 cm no dependence can be detected.

A relation to the body mass index was also almost never found. The research is rather disagreeing here. While in near studies a human relationship was explicitly denied, an Indian study from 2007 (Promodu, Shanmughadas, Bhat, Nair) showed a slight correlation. In contrast, an Italian study from 2001 (Ponchietti, Mondaini, Bonafè, Di Loro, Biscioni, Masieri) establish an inverse relationship.

The situation is similar with historic period: Hardly whatever of the studies could discover a connection to the age of the test persons.

Erect or flaccid? Flesh or blood?

Mathematically speaking, the stiff length of 13.6 cm is about 1.five times equally long as the flaccid length (Ø 9.3 cm). As a rule, i can merely roughly deduce the erect size from the flaccid penis. The terms blood penis (and then-called "grower") and flesh penis (the "shower") are oftentimes used for this. Particularly the grower is smaller in the flaccid country. During an erection, a relatively large amount of blood flows into the erectile tissue, causing it to grow. The shower is already quite large in a normal state and changes mainly its hardness, but not its length. This deviation is mainly due to climatic conditions. Nearly eighty% of men have a blood penis and alive predominantly in cold regions.

Comparing with other torso parts

Information technology is often claimed that the length of the male limb can be determined by the size of the shoe or the length of the alphabetize finger. In iii of the more than than 40 studies evaluated here a connection to the length of the index finger was determined at all. An Iranian study (2006: Mehraban, Salehi, Zayeri) could detect a minimal correlation. A study from Korea (2011: Choi, Kim KH, Jung, Yoon SJ, Kim SW, Kim TB) found no evidence of a dependence on the index finger. The latter study curiously establish an inverse dependence to the length of the middle and band finger.

The parallel to shoe size, which is and so often assumed in the colloquial, is equally unclear. No connectedness was found here either.

Data sources

In this evaluation, the results of numerous studies have been evaluated and made relative to the number of their probands. Wherever possible, sources where skipped when they were based on self-reported measurements. The collected values should roughly illustrate the human relationship between penile sizes and origin, instead of giving an exact evaluation. In some cases in that location were only a few dozens of test persons in a country, which doesn't allow a representative survey.
