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.

thanks

Hey, Names Matthew

Size
Hello. Well, I'm 13 and my erect length is 3 1/2 inches, but hasn't been going up. While, my normal length has gone up from 1 inches to 2 inches in last few months. Are these numbers normal for my age?
your perfectly average for
your perfectly average for your age. My cock was only about 4 inches long until I was 15 then shot up to 5 inches. Now I'm 19 its 6 inches and its been more than enough. So don't worry about a thing. You're a bit young to be using it for much at this point anyway.
And if you are really worried about your size and being able to satisfy a girl, just look up cunnilingus techniques and always be persistent with it. Then you will be golden. Promise.
uumm
eiher u r small or im big because im like 7 in long and 4.5 around and im 13 too butsince a girl our age can only take about three inches of dick anyway you should be fine
hey i heard if the guys have
hey i heard if the guys have really huge dickz and if u have sex with a guy that has a really big dick does it hurt? cuz i heard that it does hurt
i guess...
it only stands to reason that if it is REALLY huge that it would hurt, but it depends on a lot of things. Some gurls can prolly tolerate a big one more so than other gurls. And for most gurls, the first time hurts even if the guy is small.
it hurts some girls but if
it hurts some girls but if the guy knows that he is doing he wont hurt the girl. im a perfect example. i know how to use what i got so i make sure i dont hurt the girl.

I am 16 years old and I have
I am 16 years old and I have a 5.5 inch penis when erect and 4.5 inches around. Compared to my friends and teamates I am pretty small. I know I'm still growing and my doctor says I am average but are there any ways to enlarge my penis in width and length besides pills and surgery?
Don't bother trying, my bf
Don't bother trying, my bf is 19 with exactly the same measurments as you and his sex is AMAZING!

wow. that's good to know. i've been apprehensive about feeling with my penis size. i'm about 7inches in length and a bit over 4inches in girth ... that's fine ... right? lol
Not sure
Ok.... so im 17 and i think i am measuring wrong cause it comes out to 8 inch long and 6.5 around. That just doesn't sound right to me cause how can i be average around??? basically what i do is rap it around and look at the number that's what i do. If its wrong plz let me know cause im confused.

i am 14 and i am 6 and a half inches normally in length and 7 on my good days and my circumference is about 4 1/2 inches. i know it will grow in time but i have a very sexually active girlfriend and i am worried.
so am i big enough?
