Guys, New Penis Size Study Redefines Average. See Where You Belong...

What's the average penis size? The results are in, and they show it takes less to be well-endowed than you might think.

The average length of an erect penis is 5.16 inches (13.12 centimeters) and the average circumference is 4.59 inches (11.66 centimeters), according to a new analysis of penis length studies involving more than 15,000 men around the world. As for a flaccid penis, the average length is 3.61 inches (9.16 centimeters) and the average circumference is 3.66 inches (9.31 centimeters).



The British researchers behind the analysis say theirs is the first systematic review of penis size measurements.

Dr. Gordon Muir, a urological surgeon at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London stated:
"We wanted to be able to help men and their doctors with a definitive paper since there are many contradictory reports from small or poor quality studies, Many men live lives of misery and shame, or undergo harmful and unproven interventions, due to a false belief they are abnormal."

Muir and his colleagues reviewed 20 studies of the penis measurements of men between the ages of 17 to 91 in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. The studies were conducted by medical professionals using a variety of techniques -- with some measurements taken while men were lying down under anesthesia, and others taken with guys standing and holding their penises parallel to the floor.

The researchers then used the data to determine the averages, and created graphs showing the distribution of the size of flaccid and erect penises.
