What size should the penis be? Normal penis size. Statistical data

Is the penis the average size for actors in adult films? In fact, the average size of the genital organs varies greatly with this indicator. It is better to learn about this from a statistical study conducted specifically for this purpose.

Length

As has been revealed in numerous studies, the size of the erect penis ranges from 13 to 15 cm. The studies involved men who had reached puberty.

Classification of penis length:

10-12 cm - small penis

12-18 cm - average penis

> 18 cm - large penis

Read on topic:

The average length of the penis at rest is from 7.5 to 10 cm in length. It is by these indicators that men are accustomed to comparing their merits and drawing any conclusions from this, which is fundamentally wrong, since a small penis in a calm state tends to increase in size during an erection.

Thus, a small penis at rest may be larger in erection than a penis whose rest size exceeds the size of a small penis.

As for teenagers who are going through a period of adolescence (12-16 years), measuring the penis at this age is meaningless, because the sexual organ is in a period of active growth (enlargement). Active growth of the penis continues until approximately 17 years of age, after which the penis stops increasing in size or increases slightly (up to 25 years).

Girth (width)

It should be said that the size of the penis is not only its length, but also its width (girth). By the way, this parameter is even more important than the length of the penis, since it is the girth of the penis that creates sensual sensations when the penis rubs against the vagina. Like the length, the width of the penis can vary greatly and reach from 8 to 15 cm. The average girth of the penis is approximately 12-13 cm.

How to measure the penis correctly?

The penis must be measured standing in a state of full erection. To do this, you need to bend the erect penis to a horizontal state parallel to the floor and apply a ruler (measuring tape), placing it along the upper surface of the penis, measure from the beginning of the pubis (the ruler touches the pubis, but does not press into it) to the end of the head. If the ruler has a measuring scale indentation, add its length to the result.

To determine the thickness of the penis, you need a measuring tape, thread or strip of paper. Wrap the tape around the penis in a state of full erection in the middle of the shaft and record the readings.

What determines the size of the penis?

  • Heredity. The heredity factor has a great influence on the final size of the penis. This is well expressed in the difference in size of individual races. For example, men of Chinese nationality are, on average, smaller in size than representatives of the European race, and representatives of African peoples are considered to have the largest sizes.
  • Features of development and growth. The main growth of the penis occurs between 13 and 17 years of age. It is at this age that it is determined what size a man will have in the future. If during the period of active growth there are disturbances in sexual development associated with a lack of sex hormones (testicular disease), this negatively affects the size of the penis. In severe situations, micropenis (less than 10 cm) is observed - a condition requiring medical intervention.
  • Pubic fat layer. There is an opinion that in obese men, whose pubic area has an abundant layer of fat, the genital organ is somewhat shorter. This is explained by the fact that the fat layer helps to hide the visible part of the penis, making it appear smaller. Losing weight to a normal size will increase the apparent size of the penis.
  • Height. The dependence of the length of the penis on growth readings has not been proven by more than one study.

Is it possible to increase the size of the penis?

The clear answer is yes. Moreover, there are several methods for this:

  • Manual enlargement - with the help of special exercises (stretching);
  • Magnification using special devices (extender, vacuum pump, hanger);
  • Surgical augmentation.

About the importance of penis size

Penis size is just numbers on a ruler, and nothing else. They say nothing about a man as a lover, and in no way reflect a man's sexual abilities (read more

The size of the penis is determined by its length and width both at rest and during arousal. These indicators are important during sexual intercourse and for a man’s sense of his own worth. Penis size is not responsible for functions such as urination and reproduction.

It is worth determining the length and width of the phallus at room temperature, in a state of psychological comfort, since when the ambient temperature drops, stress or anxiety, the size of the penis decreases. The average is measured using a ruler from the pubic area (the ruler should not be pressed into it too much) to the tip of the head of the phallus. If a man weighs a lot, which means there is excessive subcutaneous fat, the functional dimensions decrease.

To determine the length of the penis, you need to tilt it parallel to the floor and apply a ruler. The width of the penis is measured using a centimeter ruler, which is placed around the man's erect organ exactly in the middle.

Average parameters

There is an opinion that the size of the male genital organ directly depends on race.

Optimal length indicator

What is considered normal penis length in a non-erect state? The average size of the male genital organ in a calm state varies from 7 to 10 cm. You should not judge the state of the phallus at the time of erection by these indicators. It is believed that a modest penis length can show a significantly greater increase when aroused than that of a penis that is determined to be larger or normal at rest.

How many centimeters should the length of a man's erect organ be?

The normal length in the erect state ranges from 12–18 cm. The optimal length is 15 cm.

In a newborn, the penis has an average size of 2.5 to 3.5 cm; when stretched, it is about 3.5 cm.

When not erect it is about 8.5–10.5 cm, and in the erect state it is 12–18 cm (average 15 cm).

Normal Width Boundaries

Width plays a more important role than the length and thickness of the penis, because it ensures close contact with the walls of the vagina, significantly enhancing the sensations of men. Therefore, it is the average of this size that should be measured first.

How wide should the male organ be? Its average is 8–18 cm. The optimal diameter is 14 cm.

Thickness Standards

This figure varies from 3 to 4.5 cm. However, how many centimeters the normal thickness of the penis has is not precisely determined.

Deviations and what affects them

An erect penis less than 10 cm is called a micropenis, from 10 to 12 cm is called small, and more than 18 cm is called large.

In men under 12 years of age, due to the fact that the period of hormonal maturation continues, measuring the parameters of the penis does not make sense, since this organ is in the stage of active growth. How long does this process take? It continues until the age of 15. The average size can increase up to 25 years.

Indicators characterizing the largest penis size in history: 30 cm length and 15 cm diameter.

Factors influencing normal penis size

  • Endocrine changes.

They are manifested by a decrease in the production of testosterone, which determines the development of both primary and secondary sexual characteristics. The cause of this pathology is most often hypogonadism, characterized by a decrease in testicular parameters. Its most severe manifestation is micropenis (size less than 10 cm), requiring medical attention. In addition, if a man weighs a lot, this also negatively affects testosterone production.

  • Hereditary predisposition.

An example is the dependence of indicators on race. The smallest dimensions of the genital organ are observed in Asian men (average size: length less than 15 cm, width less than 14 cm), and the largest in African Americans.

  1. Anorchism - absence of testicles, prostate gland, seminiferous tubules, underdevelopment of the phallus.
  2. Cryptorchidism is the absence of testicles in the scrotum due to undescended testicles.
  3. Del Castillo syndrome is a decrease in testicular volume due to disruption of the seminiferous tubules.
  4. Pasculani syndrome - decreased testosterone secretion.
  • Acquired diseases:
  1. Injuries to the testicles, pituitary gland, hypothalamus.
  2. Diabetes.
  3. Adrenal tumors. This disease leads to the development of a giant penis, the average size of which is significantly more than 14 cm.
  4. Arterial hypertension. Refers to a pathology that causes not only a reduction in the male organ, but also its curvature. This disease usually occurs in men over 40 years of age.
  5. Tumor of testicular interstitial cells.
  6. Injuries and pathological erection of the phallus itself, leading to an increase in its length by more than 15 cm and thickness by more than 14 cm.
  7. Lymphostasis (elephantiasis). This pathology is also manifested by an increase in the parameters of the penis.
  8. Age. It has been proven that after about 30 years from the onset of maturation, the genital organ decreases by 2–3 cm from the average value of 15 cm.
  9. Excessively developed subcutaneous fat in the pubic area. Due to the large fat layer, the functional part of the phallus may decrease. Losing weight easily solves this problem.

Contrary to popular opinion, height cannot be an indicator of the size of the phallus. Despite the importance of penis parameters, a man, no matter how old he is, should not forget about the importance of sexual abilities and the nature of intersexual relations.

The average size of a man's penis is just numbers in a table that do not reflect a man's sexual abilities at all. Despite this, many representatives of the stronger half of humanity attach too much importance to them. Insufficient dignity, in their opinion, can become the cause of many complexes and low self-esteem.

What is meant by penis size?

To most adequately assess the parameters of the male genital organ, its length and girth. Some data include figures established in the process of measuring penises in a calm state (the average value ranges from 7 to 9 cm), but the bulk of surveys and studies are devoted to determining the average size of the penis in an erect state.

The length of the penis is measured from its base to the top of the head. The width is taken as the average of three measurements: the girth of the trunk immediately near the head, in the middle and near the base. To obtain a more accurate result, measurements are taken several times at different times of the day.

Dependence of dignity size on age

The average for newly born boys is only 2.5-3 cm. The growth and formation of the external genitalia completely ends at the age of 17-18 years. By this time, the penis reaches its maximum length and width and remains virtually unchanged until old age. The enlargement of the organ occurs unevenly both at different age periods and in different people.

Thus, until the age of five, there are practically no changes in parameters; before the onset of puberty, slight growth of the penis is noted, but from 10-12 years the most intensive period of development begins. The average length of a French penis, according to research results, is:

By the age of 17-18, the formation of the penis ends and its length may slightly decrease to 16 cm.

With age, coverage also increases. At the age of 12, the thickness of the penis is on average 7.6 cm; by the age of 14, this parameter increases to 10.3 cm, and by the age of 16, the average circumference of the penis is 11 cm. In contrast to the length, the girth can increase even more by the age of 18-19 by 1-1.5 cm.

Average penis size by nationality

Many people know the statement that among representatives of certain nationalities, the average size of the male penis can be either much higher than the statistical average or lower than it. Is it so?

Numerous studies and surveys conducted by scientists from different countries confirm the fact that the parameters of the penis can be influenced by race and living conditions. Representatives of peoples living in warmer climatic zones and eating spicy foods and a sufficient amount of meat are distinguished by larger sizes of dignity. The colder the climate and the lower the content of seasonings and meat in the diet, the shorter the length and volume of the penis in men.

Representatives of the African continent lead the ranking. The average male size of the Congolese population is almost 18 cm, in Ghana – 17.5 cm. The figures are also quite high in Latin American countries: Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela (from 17.7 to 17.3 cm). Among Europeans, the leading positions are occupied by the Hungarians, whose average male size was 16.1 cm, the French with 16 cm of average length, and the Czechs with 15.9 cm.

In the post-Soviet space, first place goes to Georgians (15.6 cm), followed by Belarusians (14.6 cm), Ukrainians (14 cm), Estonians (13.8 cm) and Russians (13.2 cm) due to their mixture with Asian peoples.

As for the thickness of the penis, here you can also notice a certain dependence of the parameter value on nationality. The leaders are again African men. The first place is occupied by residents of Cameroon (average circumference is 15.6 cm), followed by representatives of Benin (15.5 cm), and third place by Ecuadorians (15.3 cm). As in the previous ranking, the middle of the table is occupied by Europeans, and Asians are in last place on the list.

Distribution by denomination size: golden ratio

As you can see, the concept of “average penis size in men” has very vague meanings and can depend on many factors. However, based on the results of many studies, a general table was compiled that contains the percentage of the average length of the male genital organ.

Percentage of men
Less than 10.1 cm1,9%
10.1 – 11.4 cm2,8%
11.4 – 12.7 cm6,4%

20.3 – 21.5 cm6,1%
21.5 – 22.8 cm3,4%
22.8 cm or more2,1%

The survey involved 3,000 men aged 18 to 55 years. As you can see, the average male size (table below) ranges from 13.9 cm to 17.6 cm and is approximately 15.75 cm. As for the girth, the middle is considered to be a value that is in the range of 12-13 cm.

Experts believe that one of the characteristics of men is the tendency to evaluate themselves not from the point of view of objectivity, but in comparison with other representatives of the stronger sex. Without knowing the big picture, many feel deprived of nature. In most cases, this opinion is erroneous and unfounded.

Average diameter 11cm? Are you sure you understand the term diameter correctly?)))

For most men, the most important and significant part of the body is the penis. What do the advantages depend on?

This issue is of interest not only to the stronger sex, but also to the bulk of the female population. There are a huge number of beliefs and signs that supposedly explain what affects men. Below we will consider the most common conjectures and will either receive confirmation or refute them.

How does the male reproductive system work?

The reproductive organs of the stronger half are divided into internal and external. The former consists of the testicles, prostate gland, vas deferens and seminal vesicles, while the latter consists of the scrotum and penis, or penis. Their main function is reproductive.

Properties of the penis

Male flesh is designed to transport sperm into the vagina during intercourse, as well as remove urine from the body.

The phallus consists of a base, a body and a head. The base consists of 2 parts, or two bodies - cavernous and spongy, containing many lacunae filled with blood. At the end of the spongy body there is a thickening - the head, the edge of which covers the ends. It is covered by the most delicate skin (foreskin), which has an abundance of glands responsible for smegma.

The appearance of each man's penis is unique; at rest it is straight, but during an erection it has a strong bend.

Penis size standards

The size of the reproductive organ in men in an inactive state is small - from 5 to 10 cm, but during arousal it reaches 14-16 cm, which corresponds to the size of the female vagina. Interestingly, shorter phalluses grow larger during erection than longer ones. But the shape and slope during this period are individual. A penis whose length in an erect state ranges from 16 to 18 cm is considered large, and one that reaches 18-20 cm or more is considered a giant. The diameter of this organ usually varies from 3 to 4 cm.

At the time of birth, the length of the penis in boys is from 2.5 to 5.5 cm, about 6 cm, then this organ actively grows until adulthood, and after 18 to 25 years it does not increase much.

At the moment of arousal, the size of the phallus increases from 2 to 8 times due to a decrease in venous outflow with the contraction of special muscles near the base.

So what determines penis size in men?

Basic misconceptions

The most common mistake is the belief that the size of a man's penis depends on the length of his nose. But this is absolutely not true. Scientists have proven that the main respiratory organ has nothing to do with the size of the penis. It is also generally accepted that the length of the penis in men is directly proportional to the length of the foot, which is also completely false.

Another misconception is comparing the distance from the base of the thumb to the tip of the middle finger with the length of the penis. This judgment has long been refuted by scientists and is completely groundless.

Also, the researchers could not prove that there is any relationship between a man’s height and the size of his reproductive organ. Therefore, this criterion is also considered erroneous.

Recently, there has been an opinion that representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation have a more impressive phallus than heterosexuals, but this is absolutely not true, as proven by Richard Edwards, in whose study 1,768 people took part.

Does weight category matter?

The next common question is: “Does penis size depend on weight?” Let's figure it out.

When a man is overweight, a large amount of fat deposits accumulate in the pelvic area, causing the visible size of the penis to decrease. But when returning to normal body weight, the size of the phallus also becomes the same. So what does the size of a man's penis actually depend on?

Factors affecting male flesh size

First of all, the length and thickness of the male penis (as well as other parts of the body) is determined by heredity! Genes are the most important factor influencing the structural characteristics of the organism as a whole.

Of course, the characteristics of growth and development also play a role. If even before the birth of a boy or at the time of puberty there was a failure in the formation of testosterone, then the formation of the genital organs may not proceed correctly.

The causes of a small penis can be injuries, surgeries, epispadias, hypospadias.

The notorious professor Richard Lynn conducted a very interesting study and gave his answer to the question of what determines the size of the penis. It turns out that it depends on race!

Thus, according to the test results, the leading position is occupied by residents of Africa, namely men from In this country, the majority of the stronger sex has a phallus length of 18.0 cm. Next come Ecuadorians - 17.77 cm. In third place are men from the country of Ghana.

Europeans follow only from the 10th line in this list, and the Hungarians are in the lead (16.50 cm). And in Russia, the average penis size is 13.21 cm. This figure is generally an indicator of standard penis sizes throughout the world. So to speak, the golden mean. Residents of North and South Korea, or rather the male part of them, have “dignity”, the length of which does not exceed an average of 9.66 cm. Asians took all the last places in Richard Lynn’s table.

Based on the above, we can conclude that the researcher is right, and the nationality of the man plays a significant role in the size of such an important organ.

A sexologist's opinion on this issue

From the point of view of sexologist Pavel Pavlovich Salov, the main factor on which the size of the penis depends is still considered to be genetics. He also explains the desire of men to have “great dignity” by the fact that for the stronger half of the population, the phallus is their pride and ego. This perception is present in every son of Adam on a subconscious level, and this state of affairs has existed from time immemorial.

It’s just that men with outstanding sizes are more ambitious, which is why they are so popular among women. In fact, the sexologist assures, there is nothing wrong with a small penis (if it is not a pathology), the main thing is to be confident in yourself and your abilities, then there will definitely be no problems with the fair sex.

And finally, let’s discuss whether men should worry about amorous affairs, and whether orgasm depends on the size of the penis.

Is more better?

Most women answer without hesitation that the size of their partner’s “dignity” does not play a special role in delivering pleasure. The main criteria are skills and abilities!

As you know, Casanova also had phalluses of very modest size, but women, nevertheless, went crazy for them. Why? The whole secret is in the ability to bring your beloved to orgasm!

Sexologists assure you: you just need to find the right approach to your partner, and not be shy during intimate games and the act itself. The psychological factor plays a huge role in such a delicate situation: the less a man has complexes about the size of the penis, the more relaxed he behaves in bed, pays more attention to the lady, feels relaxed and conquers the woman with his skills.

Some women sometimes have a question in their minds: what is the average penis size for men in different countries and different nationalities?

If we take the CIS countries, during the surveys an interesting fact was revealed that the size of manhood depends on the diet and the place of residence of the man. The further you move to the west and north, the more the average length of the penis increases. Among the residents of the CIS countries, the only exception is Georgian men. They have, on average, a larger penis than all other men who live in countries that are the former USSR.

The average size of dignity for men living in the CIS is 14.5-15 centimeters.

What if we take different states in the world? In Korea, the average penis size is 9.6 cm, in Colombia - 13.9 cm, in Chile - 14 cm, in Saudi Arabia - 12.4 cm, in India - 10.2 cm, in Greece - 12.18 cm, in Mexico - 14.9 cm, in Venezuela - 12.7 cm, in Italy - 15 cm, in Brazil - 12.4 cm, in Japan 13 cm, in France - 16 cm, in Spain - 13.58 cm, in Germany - 14.48 cm, in the USA - 12.9 cm.

If we take the average statistical study of the advantages of men around the world, we get the following division: micro-penis up to 12 cm, small penis - 12-15 cm, average penis 15-17 cm, large penis - 17-20 cm, extremely large penis - from 20 cm.

The largest officially recorded penis was 33.5 centimeters long, and the smallest was 7 centimeters.

Attitudes between men and women regarding penis size

Men are often interested in what penis size can be considered average, what points the penises are compared to, what size is needed during sexual intercourse and how to increase the size. Why are men interested in these questions? The stronger sex is accustomed to evaluating itself not from an objective point of view, but from the position of comparing itself with other men. As a result, the man tries to find confirmation that he is not the last at this celebration of life.

What do women think about this? In most cases, they do not pay attention to the size of the penis. It is more important for them to have a man next to them who would love them, take care of them, be strong, handsome, be able to financially provide for their children together, and generally become a good husband and father. And during sexual intercourse, the length of the penis plays practically no role if it is not the largest or the smallest. The main thing in bed for a man is the ability to excite a woman and act correctly in general, and not the size of his penis.

The common stereotype about hot Spanish men excites women's imagination. It is believed that in this country, if not every first person, then certainly every second person is a Don Juan. The impulsive, emotional and incredibly sexy Spanish machos have long been legendary.

Spanish macho temperament

To be fair, it should be said that these legends and rumors are not entirely unfounded. To understand a Spaniard, you need to realize that pleasure comes first for him. He does not take criticism and is rarely tormented by remorse. For the most part, Spanish men are very energetic and unpredictable, so there can be no question of organization and punctuality.

But this seemingly ideal Spanish family idyll also has a downside. Due to widespread feminism, there are practically no men left in Spain who believe that providing for a family is an exclusively male occupation. For the most part, they are of the opinion that a woman should work and replenish the family budget on an equal basis with a man.

There are exceptions to any rule; representatives of the same nation are sometimes radically different from each other. “In Spain, act like a Spaniard” is an old but absolutely useless saying. A true Spaniard himself does not know how he will behave in a given situation. You can expect anything from them.

Men have penises of different lengths. Some are longer, others are shorter. What sizes are considered normal?

Most men are large enough to be good partners. But men constantly compare the size of their “dignity” with other people’s penises. Often they do not take into account one nuance - a man sees his penis at an angle, which visually shortens it.

In almost 90% of men, the penis in a calm state has a length of 8 to 12 cm. However, measuring the penis in a calm state is not accurate, because the size of a non-excited penis depends on temperature, mood and other factors. Therefore, the size of the phallus should be determined in an excited state. According to research by Richard Edwards, in an excited state, members are divided by length into small (up to 14 cm), medium (14 - 16 cm) and large (more than 16 cm). In this study, scientist Edwards found that 69% of men had an erect penis length of more than 16 cm.

The normal penis size is 10 – 19 cm when erect. If the length of the phallus is less than 5 cm, it is a micropenis; if it is more than 20 cm, it is a megalopenis. Giant penises (those shown in porn films) occur in only 1% of men and more often cause them trouble than pleasure (they need a large volume of blood to achieve an erection).

The difference between a boy and a girl appears in intrauterine development from the 8th week. Under the influence of the male hormone, by the time of birth the penis grows to normal length (about 4 cm in infants). Factors that interfere with the production of sex hormones also affect the size of the penis. Low or high testosterone levels during adolescence determine what size a man's penis will be later in life.

How to measure penis length correctly? Measurements should be taken at room temperature, standing on your feet with a ruler in your hands. It should be measured from the pubis to the end of the head along the back (upper surface) in a state of erection. It is necessary to take several measurements on different days. The results obtained are averaged. Measurements taken lying down, sitting and on the underside of the penis are not reliable. It is worth considering that a sluggish erection and excess fat deposition in the pubic area can reduce the length.

With age, the length of the penis may decrease. This is due to the fact that with aging, the number of elastic fibers decreases both throughout the body and in

average value


When asked about penis size, there was a difference between the measurement result and the size the man reported before the test. Naturally, the man reported a larger size.


An erect penis has an average size of 13.5 cm. Almost 70% of men have a penis size from 12 to 15 cm, 13.5% - from 10 to 12 cm, the same number - from 15 to 17 cm, and only 2.5% men have sizes greater than 17 and less than 9.5 cm.


The Relationship Between Shoe Size and Penis Size


Anthropological work finds no connection between foot size or finger length and penis size in men. However, there has been some connection between penis size and height. The taller a man is, the more likely he is to have a large penis. However, in fat subjects the size was smaller.


Does size matter for girls?


9% of women surveyed said that they were only interested in penis size. And 67% admitted that the main thing is “the ability to use.”

Difference. Statistics say that the average length of an erect penis is no more than 13.5 centimeters. At the same time, 68% of men in Russia have an average length of 11.7 to 15.2 centimeters, and 13.5% have a length of 9.7 to 11.4 centimeters. A similar number of men have an average penis length between 15.5 and 17.3 centimeters, while 2.5% showed a length of less than 9.4 and more than 17.5 centimeters.

Based on self-measurements, study participants significantly exaggerated their size.

To measure the average length of the penis, the scientists used a hands-on method in which the resting organ is manually stretched and measured. The result is almost the same as with an erect penis, since a hard penis has the same maximum length as a stretched, relaxed organ. However, measurements can also be taken on the penis in an erect state - this is how the real possible size is determined, which is much smaller in case of a disease such as erectile dysfunction.

How to measure penis length

At home, it is best to measure the length of the penis in an erect state, tightly placing a ruler or folding meter on the organ from the very pubis. The length is measured to the tip of the glans - this also takes into account the thickness of the fat layer around the penis, which allows you to get more accurate results. It is because of this thickness that the length of the penis can either increase or decrease with weight loss or weight gain.

To compare the average length for different shapes of the penis, when measuring, you need to choose the shortest distance between the tip of the head and the pubis.

The topic of the importance of penis size is one of the most popular conversations not only in men's society, but also in women's conversations over a cup of coffee. In addition, there is debate in scientific circles about whether size matters or is just one of human bias.

Sociological research on the importance of male size

To resolve this dilemma, scientists around the world began to conduct research. For example, University of Ottawa biologist Brian Mautz tested 105 Australian women using questionnaires and drawings (53 images). Women had to choose the most attractive male body, in their opinion, based on three parameters: height, hip-to-shoulder ratio, and penis length.

The results revealed that most women preferred tall men with a large shoulder-to-hip ratio and an average penis length. The given dimensions, which noticeably exceeded the average static measurements of the penis, did not arouse much interest among the subjects.

Scientists have calculated that the most acceptable penis sizes for women range from 12.8 to 14.2 cm in a non-erect state.

For your information, according to the Soviet sexologist A.M. Svyadoshch, the average length of a European’s sexual organ is from 10 to 15 cm in an erect state, rarely – 20 cm. A length exceeding 20 cm is typical for the population of the African continent and Arab countries.

That is why, given national characteristics, it is quite difficult to achieve the truth.

An online survey involving more than 50,000 people found that 85% of the female audience were quite satisfied with the size of their partner’s penis. And only 55% of the male audience is delighted with their parameters.

Based on sociological research data, the size of the main male dignity matters, but still, success in achieving sexual pleasure lies in something else - in male confidence, experiments in bed and sexual compatibility of partners.

Sexual compatibility of partners: the importance of penis size in bed

When it comes to intimacy, most partners encounter a problem such as sexual incompatibility. In some cases, it occurs due to the size of the penis. For women with a narrow vagina, a large penis can be painful. And for women with a wide vaginal opening, intimate intimacy with the owner of a small penis does not bring any special sensations.

But not everything is so sad, because nature took care of everything. In the first case, the vaginal walls are quite elastic and over time, thanks to patience and frequent training, partners can jointly solve the problem of size discrepancy. The main thing in this matter is to avoid positions associated with deep penetration, such as “Cowgirl” or “Doggy Style”, and also not to use force and roughness.

As for the problem with small size, a woman can correct the situation. Using the wumbling technique (training the vaginal muscles), she can easily achieve contraction of the vaginal walls, and then come into close contact with the “small dignity” of a man. The partner, in turn, needs a good erection.

Thus, we can conclude: size does not really matter. With the right approach and the ability to feel his partner, a man with any penis size can give a woman great pleasure.

The average size of a man's penis is just numbers in a table that do not reflect a man's sexual abilities at all. Despite this, many representatives of the stronger half of humanity attach too much importance to them. Insufficient dignity, in their opinion, can become the cause of many complexes and low self-esteem.

What is meant by penis size?

To most adequately assess the parameters of the male genital organ, its length and girth. Some data include figures established in the process of measuring penises in a calm state (the average value ranges from 7 to 9 cm), but the bulk of surveys and studies are devoted to determining the average size of the penis in an erect state.

The length of the penis is measured from its base to the top of the head. The width is taken as the average of three measurements: the girth of the trunk immediately near the head, in the middle and near the base. To obtain a more accurate result, measurements are taken several times at different times of the day.

Dependence of dignity size on age

The average for newly born boys is only 2.5-3 cm. The growth and formation of the external genitalia completely ends at the age of 17-18 years. By this time, the penis reaches its maximum length and width and remains virtually unchanged until old age. The enlargement of the organ occurs unevenly both at different age periods and in different people.

Thus, until the age of five, there are practically no changes in parameters; before the onset of puberty, slight growth of the penis is noted, but from 10-12 years the most intensive period of development begins. The average length of a French penis, according to research results, is:

By the age of 17-18, the formation of the penis ends and its length may slightly decrease to 16 cm.

With age, coverage also increases. At the age of 12, the thickness of the penis is on average 7.6 cm; by the age of 14, this parameter increases to 10.3 cm, and by the age of 16, the average circumference of the penis is 11 cm. In contrast to the length, the girth can increase even more by the age of 18-19 by 1-1.5 cm.

Average penis size by nationality

Many people know the statement that among representatives of certain nationalities, the average size of the male penis can be either much higher than the statistical average or lower than it. Is it so?

Numerous studies and surveys conducted by scientists from different countries confirm the fact that the parameters of the penis can be influenced by race and living conditions. Representatives of peoples living in warmer climatic zones and eating spicy foods and a sufficient amount of meat are distinguished by larger sizes of dignity. The colder the climate and the lower the content of seasonings and meat in the diet, the shorter the length and volume of the penis in men.

Representatives of the African continent lead the ranking. The average male size of the Congolese population is almost 18 cm, in Ghana – 17.5 cm. The figures are also quite high in Latin American countries: Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela (from 17.7 to 17.3 cm). Among Europeans, the leading positions are occupied by the Hungarians, whose average male size was 16.1 cm, the French with 16 cm of average length, and the Czechs with 15.9 cm.

In the post-Soviet space, first place goes to Georgians (15.6 cm), followed by Belarusians (14.6 cm), Ukrainians (14 cm), Estonians (13.8 cm) and Russians (13.2 cm) due to their mixture with Asian peoples.

As for the thickness of the penis, here you can also notice a certain dependence of the parameter value on nationality. The leaders are again African men. The first place is occupied by residents of Cameroon (average circumference is 15.6 cm), followed by representatives of Benin (15.5 cm), and third place by Ecuadorians (15.3 cm). As in the previous ranking, the middle of the table is occupied by Europeans, and Asians are in last place on the list.

Distribution by denomination size: golden ratio

As you can see, the concept of “average penis size in men” has very vague meanings and can depend on many factors. However, based on the results of many studies, a general table was compiled that contains the percentage of the average length of the male genital organ.


Size
penis


Percentage of men
Less than 10.1 cm 1,9%
10.1 – 11.4 cm 2,8%
11.4 – 12.7 cm 6,4%
12.7 – 13.9 cm 10,4%
13.9 – 15.2 cm 13,7%
15.2 – 16.5 cm 20,5%
16.5 – 17.7 cm 15,2%
17.7 – 19 cm 10,5%
19 – 20.3 cm 7,0%
20.3 – 21.5 cm 6,1%
21.5 – 22.8 cm 3,4%
22.8 cm or more 2,1%

The survey involved 3,000 men aged 18 to 55 years. As you can see, the average male size (table below) ranges from 13.9 cm to 17.6 cm and is approximately 15.75 cm. As for the girth, the middle is considered to be a value that is in the range of 12-13 cm.

Experts believe that one of the characteristics of men is the tendency to evaluate themselves not from the point of view of objectivity, but in comparison with other representatives of the stronger sex. Without knowing the big picture, many feel deprived of nature. In most cases, this opinion is erroneous and unfounded.

A man in bed wants to look like a sex giant. So what is the optimal male size for the female body? Does it matter to a woman what size the male sexual organ is? Here you will learn about statistics, female preferences and the capabilities of male organs of large and small sizes.

Life story

He and she became one and created their own young family. They loved each other and remained faithful until their wedding night. Now their first journey into the world of incredible and pleasant sexual adventures awaited them.

He was a wonderful superman, and she was a very fragile and gentle creature. He was proud of his huge spear, and she could only admire the size of her chosen one’s manhood, which did not fit on a twenty-centimeter ruler. Tears began to shine in her eyes, but he still didn’t understand whether it was from happiness or horror.

She smiled sweetly and waited for the first intimacy to begin, anticipating amazing foreplay and incredible caresses. But he did not drag her into the world of gentle magic, and went ahead, as if she were not a beloved wife, but an impregnable fortress. He did not open the gate with his golden key, but began to use his ram blow after blow.

The siege was lifted, but the girl forever remembered her wedding night and remembers with horror all the repeated attempts. Every sexual encounter ends in blood and multiple lacerations and a hospital bed.

They already have children, have lived together for several years, he tries to be patient, but she always has tears in her eyes and little joy from sexual games. This is where they start

There is no one-size-fits-all answer

There are no identical people, no standard arrangement and size of organs.

Who proved that the length of the male organ more than 15 centimeters will make every woman happy. For such a size of manhood, a special woman is needed, whose vaginal walls are adapted to stretch.

There are not many such ladies in nature, but they exist and find their sexual partners, just like men with manhood sizes exceeding the statistical average.

The female womb cannot stretch indefinitely; it is not dimensionless. Even if the male genital organ fits comfortably in the female womb, the walls of the vagina become so thin during tension that they can easily be injured.

Rarely does a man get upset if his dignity exceeds the average size. Owners of powerful giants often think that just the sight of their physical body is simply obliged to bring all the ladies to ecstasy. The external outlines, of course, delight, but this does not mean that sex with such sexual giants is suitable for everyone without exception.

Imagine a picture when the thinned walls of the vagina will take the blows of a human organ that acts headlessly from the passionate desires that overwhelm it. From such actions, the woman will not only not receive pleasure, but will end up in a hospital bed covered in tears and injuries, after which her partner will not be able to touch her at all for a long time.

Average data on male size around the world

A male sexual organ 14 cm long is acceptable for one third of the women living on the planet. If the size is about 17 cm, then there will be lovers of this size, but representatives of the male population with a penis length of more than 19 cm may already suffer from a lack of a suitable womb, since only 15% of women will be able to adapt to supermen.

Men need not be afraid, because nature tries to maintain balance. Whatever it may concern, about 75% of the total number of people have average male size. Only 13% of men had male genitalia smaller than average, and 11% of young people had larger genitals.

Statistics are not at all a golden rule for the entire population of the planet. Statistics is simply the collection of data important to record information. Especially when it comes to the size of manhood.

There is no consensus worldwide, there is only data on indicators in individual countries. And all these data vary.

Average male size in some countries of the world:

For Korea, the average size is 9.6 cm;

For India – 10.2;

For Brazil 12.4;

For UK 12.9;

For Germany 14.4;

For Italy – 15;

For France – 16.

Why is there no data on Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians? Because in our countries they do not consider it necessary to spend money on such research and calculations.

Where did America get lost? She hasn't gone away, but she doesn't want to be on such lists due to the fact that in such studies, US men do not make it to the top and are rarely the leaders.

Tips for people with small manhood

What should those who have genital sizes below average do? There's no need to get upset. You are not alone. Many representatives of East Asia are distinguished by the small size of their manhood, but they have found a way out of the situation and compensate for their small size with fantastic and sophisticated techniques of sexual games.

This is where schools such as “Peach Branch”, “Tao of Love” and “Kama Sutra” came from. Magical foreplay comes to the rescue. If you master at least some elements of such amazing and useful techniques, then you will be able to bring a woman to orgasm without the participation of your instrument. The lady will forget about sizes and fall into a world of fabulous bliss. And men have not only the male genital organ, but also other parts of the body that can give a woman sexual satisfaction.

A few words for sexual giants

People with small male genitals have it much easier than supermen. For a giant weapon, you need a spacious womb or such a reverent attitude towards the lady of your heart that during sexual intercourse she does not feel even a bit of discomfort.

It is necessary to become familiar with positions and techniques that do not require deep penetration and act very delicately and carefully. You can use rings that do not allow you to make deep thrusts and damage the delicate female nature.

The role of the thickness of the male reproductive organ

It must be said that there is an opinion that women do not pay attention to the length of the male organ, but consider its thickness. They say that sausages are much nicer than hunting sausages. But one can argue with this.

There are millions of people in the world. And how many people, so many opinions. Some will agree, and some will argue. There are ladies for whom it is important to see and feel the enormous size of their manhood, and there are girls who do not pay any attention to the length and thickness of the male organ.

Relationships are not built solely on the basis of the physique and parameters of individual organs. And a woman’s sexual satisfaction is the result of a man’s skillful actions and tenderness, and not the size of the penis.

Small conclusions

It is important to love each other, think about satisfying not only your own desires, and strive to please your partner.

Women are delicate natures, gentle creatures who deserve reverent and careful treatment in all situations.

If a man in bed, despite the size of his manhood, is patient and at the same time confident, then any length of his penis and thickness will be optimal for his beloved lady.

Men are different in bed, but women, without exception, dream of being loved and crying in bed only from joy and passion. That is, every woman dreams of being sexually satisfied.

The answer to the question of what male size is optimal in bed is ridiculously simple. The one from whom he receives unforgettable carnal pleasure.

Anyone who understands this will never become fixated on the size of their penis. Conclusion: normal penis size is a rather vague indicator. Scientists believe that the normal size of an erect penis ranges from 12 to 20 centimeters. What is the normal penis size? The thickness of a penis is more important than its length.

The question of the average size of manhood has always worried many men, especially in adolescence and middle age. Almost every member of the stronger sex was interested in what the normal size of a penis is and compared it with their parameters. At one time there was a lot of discussion around this topic, but now it’s time to understand this issue and put an end to this topic.

Currently, regarding the size of the penis, there are the following concepts:

  1. Micropenis- if the length of the stretched penis is no more than 2 cm
  2. Small penis- penis less than 9.5 cm long when erect
  3. Normal penis- statistically average size is 9.5 cm or more when erect

The length of the penis is closely related to the anthropometric characteristics of a man - a positive correlation was found with height and a negative correlation with a man’s weight.

In the course of numerous worldwide studies in this area, scientists have not identified any relationship between the size of the penis in a relaxed state and in an erect state.

The size of the penis must be measured according to 3 parameters:

  • at rest
  • at maximum stretch
  • during erection

The measurement is taken along the dorsal surface, from the penopubical angle (the angle formed by the base of the penis and the anterior abdominal wall) to the edge of the glans. The penopubical angle should be 90 degrees.

By shape Three main types predominate. The first is cylindrical, when the base and tip of the penis are approximately the same diameter. The second type is pointed, when it is clearly wider, but the opposite is true, then the third type is mushroom-shaped, with a wide head and a narrow base.

By lenght male organs also differ significantly from each other. All those that reach 24 centimeters during an erection are included in the group giant. Towards the Commonwealth standard include penises from 16 to 22 centimeters. Sturdy organs with a length of 8 to 16 centimeters are named. Of course, there are unique ones - huge, more than 25 centimeters, and very small ones shorter than 2.5 centimeters, these are included in the extreme group, which is of interest to surgeons, endocrinologists and sex therapists.

Latest Research

Scientists from the French National Academy of Surgery recently decided to clarify and determine the normal size of the penis of the average man. The research results showed that the average length of the object of male pride at rest is 9-9.5 cm, and during erection it reaches from 12.8 to 14.5 cm. At the same time, the girth at rest averaged 8.5-9 cm, and in an erect state - 10-10.5 cm.

Also, the academy's experts came to the general opinion that surgery to enlarge the penis is very often unjustified. According to French surgeons, it is mainly men who insist on such intervention who believe that their parameters do not correspond to the anatomical norm. However, they often have a normal penis size. According to statistics, the number of such requests is more than 85% of the total number of people who applied for such services.

At the same time, the report notes that existing methods for correcting penis size are very limited in effectiveness, and at the same time can lead to serious complications. For example, one of the most common methods of surgical intervention - dissection of the suspensory ligament of the penis - can cause erectile dysfunction. And increasing the size using fat implantation gives only a temporary and minor cosmetic effect. Regarding the use of silicone or other artificial fillers, experts believe that this method should be prohibited altogether.

The use of these methods can be justified only when there is a congenital anomaly of the genital organ, or to eliminate the consequences of cancer and injuries. Experts believe that when a man with a normal penis size makes such a request, the doctor is obliged to politely and clearly explain the unfoundedness of such demands and notify about the possible consequences.

Curious facts

According to a sociological survey of Russian women, the majority believe that the normal length of a penis is 15 cm and it is not its length that is important, but its thickness.

Women will be interested to know that a man’s sexuality can be assessed based on the shape of his ring finger. At least this is the statement made by Camille Ferdenzi, a sexologist working at the University of Geneva. And the popular publication “Men’s Health” in one of its articles reports that there are two types of penis. The first one has a smaller initial size, but during an erection it lengthens and expands more than the second one. In the latter, on the contrary, the size at rest is larger, but an erection does not lead to its increase too much. Thus, the difference in size in the excited state can be leveled out. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the normal size of the penis when it is in a non-erect state. According to statistics, 79% of men can be classified as the first type and only 21% as the second.

The well-known manufacturer of protective equipment LifeStyles conducted its research, according to which only 4% of men can boast a penis length equal to or exceeding 17.78 cm. And the officially registered length of the longest object of male pride was 34.3 cm.

The size of the male genital organ is an absolutely individual characteristic. Among representatives of the stronger sex, there are several values ​​that can be regarded as the length of a given organ. First of all, the sizes are determined in a young adult man in a non-excited state. She can make up on average 7.5-10.5cm. Indicators may differ depending on the man’s age, heredity, as well as the race to which the man belongs.

Thus, in young men in adolescence, the penis may be slightly smaller than in mature men. However, by the elderly and senile period, the size decreases again. In the first case, this is due to the incomplete development of the male reproductive system, since adequate production of hormones does not always occur. By the elderly period, changes begin to occur in many body systems, including sclerotic and atrophic processes. Fabrics lose their elasticity and the ability to fill blood.

Normal male penis length

The maximum length in a non-excited state is detected at 21-25 years. These are periods greatest sexual activity and intensive maturation of the body in general and the reproductive system in particular. Screening blood tests for hormone levels can reveal a large number of hormones specific to a given sex.

In the erect position, the indicator can also be different, its average values ​​range from 13 to 19 cm. Maximum values in this state, on the contrary, they are observed in young people in adolescence or young adulthood, when a rapid restructuring of the reproductive system occurs, including large amounts of hormones in the blood.

Relatively higher rates are observed among African Americans. The average size organ, both in a non-excited and erect position, is 2-3 cm higher than the statistical average. This largely depends on the size of the cavernous and cavernous bodies; the larger it is, the more blood flows in and strong swelling and enlargement are visible.

Among Asians, the average value is 1-2 cm less. But this value does not affect the reproductive capabilities of the population.

But it should also be taken into account that these figures are purely individual, since hereditary predisposition is of great importance. A man whose father had a fairly large, above-average figure, or, conversely, a smaller size, will have approximately the same figures. Disorders in this area should also be considered a hereditary predisposition, especially if the parents developed them very early.

The table shows statistical comparison of the length of the erect penis depending on the age of the man.

Penile thickness and circumference

These indicators of the penis depend primarily not on hormonal changes in the body, but on the development of the circulatory system and the degree of filling of the penile bodies with blood.

Average thickness the male genitals can be 3.2-3.5 cm. The average circumference can be 6-7 cm. The measurement may vary and when determined by different people, it is different from each other.

The greatest thickness is observed in representatives of the stronger sex at 18-25 years old. Before this period, the size may be smaller than normal due to the fact that the body has not fully developed.

Typically, the length of the growth of the genital organ outstrips its thickness.

After the final formation of the length of this organ, the final formation of thickness occurs.

In adulthood or old age age, the thickness of the penis begins to gradually decrease, especially when it comes to the size in the erect state.

In an unexcited state, the dimensions after the final formation of the penis are the same for a long time. But during an erection, the indicators change depending on the filling of their cavities with blood. At a young age, better filling of the penile bodies occurs, and in the senile state, atherosclerotic processes occur.

An erection loses its quality; over time it may become worse, therefore elasticity and, as a result, thickness decrease. The state of thickness can be influenced by inflammatory diseases. These include previous acute or chronic prostatitis, and the presence of prostate adenoma is also of great importance. It worsens erectile function and, accordingly, indicators may change downward. Sometimes a problem can be a congenital pathology of the structure, as well as previous traumatic effects.
