Penis Dimensions and Genetics

The nature of development through the process of puberty and the production of testosterone, are both determined and regulated by genetic factors. These genetic factors are mainly responsible for the determination of penis size. Contrary to popular belief, there exist no strong correlations between penis size and the size of other things, such as hands, feet, nose, height, stature, or any other part of the body.

Average Penis Size

There has been significant research completed to determine the average penis size. However, this research is still limited and should not be used for any conclusions about whether your own penis size is normal.

• The average un-erect penis size ranges from 2-4 inches.
• The average erect penis size ranges from 5-7 inches.
• The average erect penis girth (the circumference of the penis) size ranges between 3-4 inches.

It is noted that the un-erect penis size varies more than the erect penis size. It should also be noted that a smaller un-erect penis will typically double in size when erect, while a larger un-erect penis may only increase by 75%.

Normal Penis Size

Ok, so now you have the statistics determined through a scientific study. It is now important that you know that if your penis does not fit within the average values, that does not mean your penis size is not normal. It is important to decipher the average penis size statistics to determine, how, when, and where were these numbers were obtained. Research on this particular topic requires voluntary interaction. This means that men volunteered to have their penis measured.

There does exist a strong correlation between men who are comfortable with their penis size and men who are willing to have their member measured for research purposes. It is far less likely for a man to volunteer to have his penis measured if he is uncomfortable or worried that it may be too small. This could create data that does not actually represent the average accurately.

Fact: The Measurement of Penis Size is Not Simple

There are several problems with the measurement of penis size that make obtaining optimum results difficult.

• Penis Length: Where does the penis start for measurement? Does it include the root of the penis and the glans, or should only the body/shaft of the penis be measured?
• Population: Are the members used for the general study of penis length measurements average for the general population?
• Penis Measurement: Who has taken the measurement? Are the measurements taken by other people or self taken?
• Definition of Size: What should be measured? What really matters, size, girth, or both?

Penis Size and Intercourse

Contrary to popular belief, there also exist no strong correlations between the size of the penis and pleasure obtained from intercourse. It is commonly misunderstood and assumed that a larger penis is more masculine, it makes a man more fertile, it makes a man more desirable and better in bed, it makes a man more attractive. Learning about your penis and overcoming these stereotypes about penis size will only serve to enhance your overall sexual health.
