What Is the Average Penis Size

Are you suffering from penis size anxiety? Or perhaps it's not you, but maybe it's a friend. It might be a cause of concern about whether their penis size "measures up" compared to others. While we hope no one is obsessing over the size of their penis, in case anyone (not you, of course) has ever had any curiosity about penis size, there have been studies conducted on this.

So in case you're just "asking for a friend", we have summarized some interesting information (for your friend) in this article on average penis size. You may be surprised to find out the results. So please read on. And once you have all the facts, you can tell your "friend" all about it.

The Results Are In - Average Penis Size

So for your friend's sake, let's just cut to the chase. A major study on penis sizes was conducted worldwide, collecting data on 96,206 penises from 146 countries. Here is some of the data on average penis size:

The worldwide average penis length is 13.9 cm (5.47 in) long when erect
The worldwide average penis length is 9.52 cm (3.75 in) long when flaccid
The worldwide average penis girth is 11.83 cm (4.66 in) in circumference when erect
The worldwide average penis girth is 9.38 cm (3.70 in) in circumference when flaccid

For those of us living in North America, we have some country-specific averages in case you want to compare with your neighbors to the north and south:

Country Flaccid length Erect length

USA 9.6 cm(3.8 in) 14.15 cm(5.6 in)

Canada 9.5 cm(3.74 in) 13.92 cm(5.5 in)

Mexico 9.6 cm(3.8 in) 14.09 cm(5.55 in)

We did find another study on average penis sizes, and the results show similar numbers, with the average length of an erect penis being between 5.1 and 5.5 inches (12.95-13.92 cm).

The Reality - Is My Penis Bigger or Smaller?

So there you have it. If you were worried that average penis sizes were 10 inches or longer, maybe you were thinking of some porn star who may have had a bit of surgical enhancement done to them. If you were considering such a procedure, we hope that you study it carefully, as there may be risks involved. Chances are, your penis is probably more than satisfactory to please you or your partner.

If you were curious about the opinion on the partner's side, one study did find that the women surveyed preferred a penis size of approximately 6.4 inches, longer than the average penis length. However, another study actually showed that 85 percent of women reported that they were satisfied with the penis size of their partner as it is currently. So instead of investing in silicone implants or fat injections for your penis, you might be better off using that money to buy jewelry or dinner for your partner, or consider some partnered fun with a TENGA couples item.

If you are concerned about the shape of your penis, we have written about that as well. You may want to also read up on that.

Conclusion

It’s not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

In case you (or a friend) are worried about "keeping up with the Joneses'" (or, in this case, maybe "keeping up with the Johnsons”), we have provided you with the information on reported penis sizes worldwide. This information hopefully puts at ease the concern that most penises are undersized and, not to say the least, underserving of their partner’s needs.

At TENGA, we feel that all penises, in whatever shapes and sizes they come in, are special and should be taken care of. Based on how satisfied their partners are with their penises, regardless of length or girth, you can have an equally amazing experience. We hope that you will take advantage of all the gifts that have been bestowed upon you and find satisfaction and pleasure with what you have (We can help with that in case you were wondering).

As they say, “it’s not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.” Enjoy what you have while you have it, with the one that will help you enjoy it the most. Life is short, have fun!
