Average Penis Size

The age-old question, "Am I well hung?" Well, before going on to see where you stand, or should we say hang, remember that size isn’t everything. Most women prefer a man with a less then average Penis and great at Cunnilingus, to a man with a larger penis and no skills. Furthermore, you should never worry about your size; it will only lead to anxieties and potentially a variety of sexual dysfunctions.

If you are racing forward to find out what the average penis size is to see if you are ok, stop. Read the first paragraph again. The purpose of this article is not so that men can come and see if they are “big enough”, it‘s purpose is to satisfy curiosity, and to reiterate to all the self conscious males out there that size is not everything.

One of the reasons that men are so self-conscious about this has to do with illusions. When men are in the locker room, they can’t help but glance around the room to see how they measure up. Unfortunately, there is a very different angle looking down than across the room, so men become paranoid that they are too small. Also, a man’s limp size has very little indication to his erect size. Furthermore, most men start getting paranoid about it before they have finished growing.

That being said (hopefully not ignored) 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 is 4.5 to 5 inches.

Penis Length

Your erection length is defined as the linear distance along the dorsal (top) side of the erect penis, from the mons veneris to the tip of the glans. In non-medical jargon, 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. Take multiple measurements over the course of a few days and then average the values. Since your erections can vary slightly depending on your level of arousal, mood, room temperature, and even the duration since your last sexual encounter, averaging out a few measurements will let you get a more accurate read.

Penis Circumference

Penis circumference is defined as the linear distance around the widest part of the erect penis. Whether you use a piece of string or a fabric ruler, you should wrap it around the widest part of your penis, one time. If using string, make sure it is not stretchy, and mark the string at the correct spot and then measure the portion with a ruler. As with penis length, this should be done over a few days and the result averaged out.

Does Size Matter?

The second most famous question; "Is it the size of the ship, or the motion of the ocean?"... Both are correct, so yes, size does matter. Anyone who tells you differently is not being completely truthful. As covered in other sections, the majority of a woman's nerve endings are in the first couple inches of her vagina, so exactly how much size matters is a controversial topic. Most women agree that an average size penis, along with an understanding of Her Genital Regions will get the job done. In fact, they would prefer that to a large penis as it could come along with a lot of pain for the first few times together for them. For those dreaming for an 8+ inch penis, just remember that it doesn’t always come in as handy as you think. Having a large penis decreases your chances of your partner being willing to have Anal Intercourse, as well as Deep-throating.

Worried about being too big

If it's length you're worried about don't put it in all the way
and if it's girth you're worried about try using a good amount of lube
it's kinda like elastic...if she's too dry she's going to be really tight and it won't be as easy to glide in and out
same goes for anal...lots and lots of lube

Im 21 and have been having sex with my gf for some time now. She is very happy with my size, but I can never last very long. according to my dr im probably too sensitive and has offered suggestions, none of which work. this problem is becoming quite frustrating for me and my gf. Any suggestions on how to change this.

...

I'm 15 and around 7.3 inches long and 5 girth. I'm not at all worried about size or anything like that. I would b happy just having a dick bigger then 3 inches... But anyways my gf is 18 and she's a virgin. I'm not. Her prom is coming up and that's the time we're planning on having sex but I'm worried I'm going to hurt her. I heard stories about pain and all and I never had sex with a virgin to know so I was wondering if I could get some advice on this....

Virgins

Her 1st time doesn't have to be so painful if you are learn about her body and prepare her for penetration. Read Her Erogenous Zones at this site. As she is stimulated in these areas her body will create lubrication in her vagina and the muscles will relax. It's especially helpful if you give her an orgasm manually or orally before penetration. Then once you're penetrating, go slow so her vagina can adjust. If she or you is stimulating her clit at the time of penetration it can help distract her. The more tense she is, the more painful it will be but if she can relax and get into it and you take your time with her it shouldn't be to bad.

hmmm

So i'm 18 and have a problem with size variation, i can go from nine inches on a most days to just over six on a bad day,
is that anywhere near normal?

Definitely the different

Definitely the different variables effect your size. Some days I'm longer others I'm shorter. I find myself the longest after a hot shower, or waking up in a room that's pretty hot.

come on...

my boyfriend is about 6.5 inches in length and 5 in girth and he's 16, to me that is freakinq huge! (maybe because I'm a virgin) and it scares me to even think about him puttinq that in me, so if yur below this IT'S FINE! (unless of course the gurl yur messinq with has been around the block a few times) then yu might need to be bigger just to feel her, ya'know...btw I'm 17 ^_~

Wondering

Personally (being a girl) size doesn't really matter to me, but I'm cuirious about something. My boyfriend is just turned 15 about a month ago and length wise he's about 4"-4.5" (when he's hard)and he's pretty wide (not sure of the exact #). Personally I find his size to be pretty impressive...but he disagrees, since his is the only one I've seen (and ever will see) I don't know any comparison. So is that length for a 15yr old (He's Korean if that makes a difference) small, normal or large? I'd guess normal but idk, answer plz =) (No we've never had actual sex (meaning intercourse) nor do we plan to for a few years so don't hound me about being too young)

yeah right kid.... lol

Size does not matter to

Size does not matter to girls. Believe me. Well sometimes it does if its teeny weeny or gigantic. I believe though that the most important part of satisfying your partner is the effort you put into it and if she loves you, she wont care what sixe penish you got! So stop complaining, all of you and be glad about the sizes you have!

blaa

well my penis is 12 inches and im 16 i guess thats good haha

oh wow my bf is 10.5 and i

oh wow my bf is 10.5 and i can almost can take it

Full of bs

Okay 12 inches would be super painful so it lessens the likelyhood of you getting laid.My boyfriend is 16 and 8 1/2 inches long and that pushing it to almost pain for me. I figure you are full of bull shit about that size. You are just another arrogant guy who is bragging under a name that no one can link to you.

Your too young to have sex so stop trying!

Ditto.

Seriously. If you're concerned about your penis size, you better be good as hell at oral, and if you're legitimately too small and under 17 years old, just wait because you WILL grow.

I am 16, and latin, mine is

I am 16, and latin, mine is 6 inches long but 6.5 wide tbh i have heard from a lot of people that when it is below 5 inches the girls cant put it in

What's on their minds??

*****************************************************

I'm 18, 5 inches long and 4.25 inches around. I've had my share of sex and only one girl has given me crap for being small, even if i asked. I expected more comments about being small from my partners.

What's really going through their heads?

*****************************************************

Teens

I just turned 14, and I'm 4.5 inches long when hard. This seems really short to me. How far off am I from normal?

I am 15 and 4.5inches long 4

I am 15 and 4.5inches long 4 inches girth will it be to small to pleasure my girlfriend? :(

you all need to chill out.

you all need to chill out. My boyfriend is 15 and he's 8in when he's soft. YOU'RE FINE.

Yeah

I struggled with that crap my whole teenage career lol...I was real fat and my dick appeared so small
then when i was 17 i lost alot of weight, and my dick became larger, but when im soft it's only like 3 inches long, which is crazy, I'm 21 now though...It's still only 3 inches small when soft, but when I get hard it grows to 8 1/2 inches long and a little over 6 inches thick...hehe...I'm happy about it I guess lol...is that ok size and circ?

idk...

ok well i jus turned 17 today(yay!) and ive measured my penis many times...the measurements have changed, but not all that well...

i mean with my age you would think im like 7 inches(length)and 4.5 inches(circumference)but im barely like at 5.8 inches(length)and 3 inches(circumference)...

ladies will you let me know if this is okay or if this is pretty bad?honest truth ladies please...

Honestly

Honestly 5.8 isnt bad. 5.5 is average and not every guy gets 6+ inches
