Penis Too Small

Q. I am worried about my penis because its size is 4.5 inches, so is there any solution about it so I can increase my size?

A. ‘Normal size’ is a range that varies depending upon ethnicity and genetics. Size changes as a boy grows and matures into a man. As we all begin developing at different ages, size vs. age is really meaningless. Penis size consists of two components, length and circumference. Although most studies in this area vary slightly in the findings, the average erect penis length is 5.5 to 6.5 inches, and the average circumference (girth) is 4.5 to 5 inches. Also, a man’s limp size has very little indication to his erect size … a smaller penis tends to grow proportionally bigger than a large one does. You don’t specify whether your measurement is ‘relaxed’ or ‘erect’. Your penis is measured in a straight (or for some, arced) line on the topside of the erect penis, from where your belly meets the shaft to the tip of your penis.

The only proven way to marginally increase the length of your penis is surgery – and it is not recommended as the costs/risks do not generally outweigh the minor gains! Some guys try various massaging exercises such as Jelqing (on which we will be soon publishing an article) and some report limited success. Enlargement pills are the subject of outrageous and unproved claims by suppliers – they should be treated with extreme caution and (frankly) you would be better off keeping the money in your own pocket!

What should matter to you more than size is that your penis is fully functional and that you have researched and learned how to use it to please your partner. In other words, that you have become a knowledgeable, skilled & compassionate lover in all other aspects of making love. The majority of a woman's nerve endings are in the first couple inches of her vagina, so after that your smaller size isn’t much of a disadvantage. In fact most women will enjoy the sensation of a larger girth more than a longer length!
