What is the Average Penis Size?

Determining what the average penis size is, is a lot more complicated than you may think, mainly because of the many illegitimate studies and oftentimes the lack of knowledge how to measure penis size correctly. As a result, there is a lot of confusion when it comes to what is considered a normal penis size or above average penis size.

So what is the truth about average penis size? Here are the numbers from three different penis size studies that were carried in a laboratory setting, thus eliminating the problem of incorrect penis measurement:

Average Flaccid Penis Size

The study showed that the average flaccid penis length ranges from 3.5 inches to 3.8 inches (which is 8.9 cm to 9.7 cm).

Average Erect Penis Size

This study showed that the average erect penis length ranges from 5.1 inches to 7 inches (which is 13 cm to 17.8 cm). The penis measurements were done properly from the tip of the penis head to the torso.

Average Penis Circumference (Girth)

This study showed that the average penis circumference (or girth when the penis is erect) ranges from 3.7 inches to 4.8 inches (which is 9.4 cm to 12.2 cm).

However, when viewing these results, have in mind that different studies will present completely different results and that makes determining a single average penis size range very difficult. Moreover, many researchers claim that generally men who participate in such studies about penis size usually have penises that are above average, which may twist the final figures.
