What is the average width of a penis?!


Question: This has gotta be the most commonly asked question in here...

While results vary across studies, the consensus is that the average human penis is approximately 5 - 5.9 in. in length with a 95% confidence interval of (4.23 in, 7.53 in). The typical girth or circumference is approximately 4.85 in. when fully erect. The average penis size is slightly larger than the median size (or, put another way, most penises are below average in size).

A research project, summarizing dozens of published studies conducted by physicians of different nationalities, shows that worldwide, erect-penis size averages vary between 3.7 in. and 6.2 in. It has been suggested that this difference is caused not only by genetics, but also by environmental factors such as culture, diet, chemical/pollution exposure, etc.

As with any other bodily attribute, the length and girth of the penis can be highly variable between individuals of the same species. In many animals, especially mammals, the size of a flaccid penis is much smaller than its erect size. In humans and some other species, flaccid vs. erect penis size varies greatly between individuals, such that penis size when flaccid is not a reliable indicator of size when erect.

Except for extreme cases at either end of the size spectrum, penis size does not correspond strongly with reproductive ability in almost any species.

The longest officially documented human penis was a find by Doctor Robert L. Dickinson. It was 13.5 inches long and 6.25 inches around. An even larger (but unofficial) measurement was obtained in 1969 by Dr. David Reuben, 14 inches long.

compared to what???

It's about 4-5 inches...am i right?

oooooble....., The normal or average is what your bone with and when it is done growing that is your normal. Our normal or average isn't someone elses average or normal that you compare with. Good Luck!
