What’s the average penis size, and why does it matter?
Find out if your penis size is below average and which interactive sex toys are a perfect fit for your size.
Does Penis Size Matter?
If there’s one thing that some men obsess about, it’s penis size.
Before we get into this, let’s get one thing straight – penis size does not necessarily equal superior sexual performance. So while a foot long John Thomas may give you certain bragging rights, it doesn’t endow you with any magical powers of superior sexual prowess.
From a performance perspective, the old adage is true – it’s not the size, it’s how you use it that counts. So whether your penis size is above or below average, you can still benefit from all the perks that go with being a penis owner. But, since this article is about penis size, let’s take a closer look at what’s considered to be average, or normal.
Average Penis Size: What’s Normal?
So what does the research say? Well, according to this article on PubMed, here’s the deal – the average length for an erect penis is around 5.2 inches, or just over 13 cm. This may come as a surprise, as many people seem to think of 6 inches (5.3 cm) as being average size.
There’s also evidence to suggest that even this figure may be overly optimistic. This is because the results from the study weren’t independently verified, for obvious reasons, which means the volunteers could have fallen victim to a certain degree of personal bias in their recorded measurements. So 5 – 5 1/2 inches (12.7 – 14 cm) may also be stretching the truth, but there’s no real way to know for sure. At any rate, a penis size of between 5 – 5 1/2 inches would be considered normal. So if you happen to fall within that size range, congrats! You’re doing well. And if you don’t? Well, it’s not a cause for concern, as you’ll find out.
There are also a number of other measurements you can take into account, such as girth (with an average of 3.6 inches / 9.1 cm) and how hard you can get. After all, a 12-inch male appendage may sound like a whopper of a deal, but if it lacks the necessary girth or stiffness, then it’s more of a french fry than a Bratwurst. And while these measurements can be subjective to a degree, they also come into play for deciding things such as which sex toys are a good fit for your penis shape.
How to measure your penis size
To measure your penis size the right way, first grab yourself a tape measure or ruler that’s up to the task.
Next, measure from the base of the pelvic bone to the tip. It’s OK to press down a little, but try not to over extend, as you’ll get an inaccurate result. Measure with your penis at a right angle to your body while fully erect for best results.
Then, take a note of your measurement and take a few more readings on separate occasions to find out the average.
What to do if you’re too big or too small?
First, don’t fret! Statistically, 50% of men are below average size. This only means you’re not in the above average group. It’s no biggie, as having a penis that’s too long can present its own challenges. It may make sex uncomfortable, or finding a sex toy that fits could be problematic.
And don’t fret if you’re at the extreme end of the size chart – we are all unique, and our differences only add to our individuality.
Take comfort in the knowledge that the average penis size is in fact much lower than common wisdom would have us believe.
Or, if you are fortunate enough to be blessed with a foot long slong, whoopee for you! But, on the downside, there are many blood vessels in the penis, and you may need to take male enhancement pills, so you can stay fully erect for an all-nighter.
When Should You Consider Penis Surgery?
This is a highly personal decision and one that you should seek expert advice before making. At the end of the day, it’s about what you are comfortable with. Having said that, don’t get fooled into believing that everyone else has a huge size, and that somehow you need to be above average penis size to have success in dating.
If you do choose to have penis enlargement surgery, you’ll be joining over 15,000 men choosing penis surgery each year (not all for the same reasons). At around $15,000 for the surgery, this can be a very costly procedure, and one that’s not without risk.
As a guide, according to Dr. Elist’s website, the Penuma procedure can result in an increase in penis length of up to 1.5 inches (4 cm), so be careful of false promises made on penis enlargement ads which often make claims with unrealistic expectations.
If you do choose to go down this route, it’s recommended to first talk to your medical practitioner and get expert advice. And for god’s sake, don’t try hanging weights off it, or falling prey to some other awful home remedy with potentially disastrous consequences!
Which sex toys are best for the average penis size?
Thankfully, sex toy manufacturers didn’t just design their product for a specific penis size. And while some toys are aimed at the larger or smaller sized penis owner, others adopt a more versatile approach.
The Handy
This interactive male sex toy comes with an adjustable, TrueGrip sleeve, which can be entered from either end, flipped inside out, and even has an adjustable band which gives you full control over the girth and stroke length, so that no one needs to feel left out. This is the closest you can get to a one-size-fits-all sleeve for all penis shapes and sizes.
KEON Masturbator
This powerful, interactive male sex toy can be fitted with different sleeves, and used manually or interactively. The KEON is best suited for men with a penis size of average length or longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re wondering about averages, myths, or just looking for a bit of reassurance, we’ve got you covered. Remember, when it comes to matters of size, it’s all about perspective, confidence, and connection. So, let’s dive in and explore these questions.
What is the average penis length?
The average erect penis length is about 5.16 inches (13.12 cm). For flaccid penises, the average length is approximately 3.61 inches (9.16 cm). It’s important to note that there’s a wide range of normal sizes, and many factors can influence penis size.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the blue whale has the largest penis in the animal kingdom, measuring up to 10 feet long? Talk about making a splash!
How do you properly measure penis size?
Okay, so you wanna know how big your junk really is? Grab a ruler or one of those bendy measuring tapes. For the length, get it hard and measure from where it meets your body all the way to the tip. Girth-wise, wrap the tape around the fattest part while it’s still standing at attention. Pro tip: Always measure from the top and push that ruler right up against your pelvic area for the most accurate results.
Is there a correlation between foot size and penis size?
Contrary to popular belief, there is no scientific evidence supporting a correlation between foot size and penis size. This is just one of many myths about penis size that have been debunked by research.
If foot size really determined everything, clowns would be the most popular people at parties!
What is considered a normal penis girth?
The average penis girth (circumference) when erect is about 4.59 inches (11.66 cm). Like length, girth can vary, and a range of sizes is considered normal. It’s worth noting that many studies suggest that girth may be more important than length for sexual satisfaction.
Can I make my penis bigger?
While there are many products and procedures claiming to increase penis size, most are not scientifically proven to be effective or safe. Penis pumps may temporarily increase size but don’t lead to permanent growth. Surgical procedures exist but carry risks and are generally not recommended for cosmetic reasons. The best approach is to accept your natural size, as most penises fall within the normal range.
While there is no scientifically proven method to permanently increase penis size, some exercises and techniques are often mentioned in discussions about penis enlargement. It’s important to approach these with caution and realistic expectations, as their effectiveness is not guaranteed, and improper practice can lead to injury. Here are some commonly mentioned methods:
- Jelqing:
- A manual stretching exercise intended to increase length and girth by forcing blood into the penis. It involves repeatedly pulling and squeezing the penis in a milking motion.
- Caution: There is no scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness, and it can cause injury if done improperly.
- Stretching Exercises:
- These involve pulling on the flaccid penis to stretch it. The idea is to increase length over time.
- Caution: Overstretching can cause damage to the tissues.
- Kegel Exercises:
- While not directly increasing size, Kegels strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which can improve erectile function and stamina.
- How to do it: Contract the muscles you use to stop urination, hold for a few seconds, and release. Repeat several times a day.
- Penis Pumps:
- These devices create a vacuum around the penis, drawing blood into it and causing an erection. They can temporarily increase size.
- Caution: Overuse can lead to bruising or other injuries.
- Weight Hanging:
- Attaching weights to the flaccid penis to stretch it over time.
- Caution: This method carries a high risk of injury and is not recommended.
- Healthy Lifestyle:
- Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet can improve overall blood flow and erectile health, which may enhance the appearance of size.
- Consulting a Professional:
- If you’re concerned about your size, speaking with a healthcare provider or a therapist can provide guidance and help address any underlying issues.
Important Note: It’s crucial to prioritize safety and be skeptical of products or techniques that promise dramatic results. If you have concerns about your penis size or sexual health, consulting a healthcare professional is the best course of action.
What is the ideal penis size according to research?
So, here’s the deal with research on how ladies feel about their guy’s dick: most gals are actually cool with what their dude’s packing. One study even showed that chicks’ dream dong size was just a bit bigger than your average Joe’s. But hey, let’s not forget that having a good time in the sack isn’t just about having a big tool – there’s way more to it than that!
Fun Fact: According to a study published in the journal “PLOS ONE,” women preferred a slightly larger size for one-time partners compared to long-term partners. But the difference was minimal, showing that other factors matter more!
How does the size of a flaccid penis relate to its erect size?
There’s no consistent relationship between the size of the flaccid penis and its erect length. Some penises grow significantly when erect (known as “growers”), while others don’t change much in length (known as “showers”). This is why flaccid size is not a reliable indicator of erect size.
Are there any factors that can influence penis size?
Your DNA is the biggest deal when it comes to how big your junk is. Sure, other stuff like hormones can make a difference, especially when you’re going through those awkward teen years. And yeah, your overall health matters too. Sometimes, if you’ve got certain health issues or you’ve hurt yourself down there, it might affect your size. But don’t bother with all those crazy diets or exercises people talk about – they’re not gonna magically make your package bigger. That’s just not how it works, dude.
What is the average size of an erect penis (average erect penis size)?
The average length of an erect penis is approximately 5.16 inches (13.12 cm), while the average girth is about 4.59 inches (11.66 cm). It’s important to remember that there is a wide range of normal sizes.
Does penis size vary by country?
So, there’s been some chatter about how dudes’ junk might be different sizes depending on where they’re from. But honestly, it’s not like there’s a massive difference or anything. Maybe genetics play a part, or what kinda grub they’re chowing down on, or even where they live. But here’s the thing – you gotta take these studies with a grain of salt! A lot of times, it’s just guys measuring themselves, and we all know how that can go! Plus, when you look at the big picture, there’s way more variety among dudes in the same country than between different places. So, don’t get too “hung” up on this stuff, alright?
Quick Tip: If you’re ever feeling insecure, just remember that confidence is the real key to attraction. A good sense of humor doesn’t hurt either!
What is considered a normal penis girth?
So, the typical width of a hard-on is roughly 4.59 inches around (that’s about 11.66 cm). But don’t sweat it if you’re not exactly that – there’s a whole range of normal sizes. And get this: loads of folks, including bedroom partners, reckon the thickness is just as big a deal as how long it is, if not more. So yeah, it’s not all about the length, my friend!
Is there an ideal penis size?
There’s really no “perfect” size for a guy’s junk that everyone agrees on. Sure, some folks might have their own preferences, but most studies show that people are generally cool with their partner’s package. When it comes to getting frisky, stuff like having a good connection, knowing what you’re doing in the sack, and just clicking with your partner sexually usually matter way more than how big or small you are down there. So, don’t sweat it too much about size – it’s not the be-all and end-all of good sex.
Remember, it’s not the size of the wand, but the magic you make with it that counts!
Should I be concerned about the size of the penis?
Our advice, don’t stress about your junk size!. Most fellas are rocking pretty average gear down there. But if it’s really getting to you, maybe hit up a doctor for a chat. They’ll give you the straight-up facts and help you relax if you’re losing sleep over your package. No point in worrying solo, right? Oh, and there are some tricks you can try, like certain workouts, that might help you bulk up your manhood a bit.
