Answers:
Here are the results of a couple of studies. I trust the second study more than the first. To help you better understand what all these numbers really mean, please read all my post.
By age, the averages found were:
FIRST STUDY (averages of measurements given by teens to a survey done by researchers)
Age....... Size
12....... 4.1" (104 mm)
13....... 5.1" (130 mm)
14....... 6.0" (152 mm)
15....... 6.1" (155 mm)
16....... 6.3" (160 mm)
17....... 6.5" (165 mm)
18....... 6.4" (163 mm)
19....... 6.2" (157 mm)
20....... 6.2" (157 mm)
Conclusions:
The average adult penis size is about 6.1 inches or (157mm). It is interesting that in this study, penis size 'peaks' at age 17. Since penises do not get smaller as a male approaches age 21, it can be concluded that boys aged 16, 17, and 18 are most likely to exaggerate the size of their penises.
--------------
SECOND STUDY (averages of measurements taken by doctors)
Age....... **Erect Length (inches & centimeters)
11....... 3.0" (3 and 0/16ths") 7.5 cm
12....... 3.8" (3 and 13/16ths") 9.6 cm
13....... 4.8" (4 and 13/16ths") 12.3 cm
14....... 5.4" (5 and 6/16ths") 13.6 cm
15....... 5.6" (5 and 10/16ths") 14.3 cm
16....... 5.7" (5 and 11/16ths") 14.5 cm
17....... 5.8" (5 and 13/16ths") 14.8 cm
18....... 5.8" (5 and 13/16ths") 14.8 cm
19+….. 5.9" (5 and 14/16ths") 14.9 cm
Conclusions:
This table is a collection of measurements from doctors and pediatric physicians. They do not measure the boys' penises while they have erections. The length of the erect penis can be determined by stretching the flaccid penis from the tip as far out as it will comfortably extend. It is then measured from the tip to the base while flaccid (and still extended). The measurement is then taken for the medical records of boys who have had developmental concerns, urogenital diseases, or penis injuries. It does not take long for a group of physicians to determine averages and normal variations when they see hundreds of patients per year.
PLEASE READ!!!
No matter which study you believe, keep in mind that penis growth among teens differs widely. For a young male, trying to interpret a table of averages is not necessarily easy nor beneficial. Young men who read this may try to make comparisons with themselves and this table. Please be advised that you should use this tables ONLY as "average reference". Remember, when an "average measurement" is listed, that means approximately 50% of all young men are shorter than this number (and about 50% are larger). Less than 1% of males are exactly average. That means less than 1 out of 100 men will match the average number exactly. Beware that averages are actually known as "statistical means" and they are typically used in the context of medicine and statistical sciences rather than personal counseling. Nevertheless, the table can still be used as a good reference for average penis growth over time.
