What is the average size of a human penis?
Q: What is the average size of a human penis?
A: The average human erect penis is about 12.9 to 15 centimetres (5.1 to 5.9 inches) in length, and has a circumference of about 12.3 centimetres (4.8 inches).
Q: How is the size of a penis typically measured?
A: Penis size is usually measured by length and circumference when it is erect. Length is measured along the upper side from the base to the tip with the man standing and the penis held parallel to the floor, while circumference is measured just below the glans penis, in the middle of the shaft, and at its base.
Q: Can self-measurement provide an accurate indication of penile length?
A: Self-measurements tend to report higher average lengths than those which use medical or scientific methods, however soft penis length does not reliably indicate erect length so should not be used as an indication of penile size.
Q: Is there any relation between shoe size or stretched penis size and race?
A: No, there is no scientific relation between either penis size or race, and shoe size or stretched penis size.
Q: How long are penises at birth?
A: At birth, penises are usually between 2.4 and 5.5 cm long (0.94 and 2.17 inches).
Q: Does a man's age affect his penile measurements?
A: Generally speaking, no - once adults reach maturity their penile measurements remain relatively consistent throughout adulthood without much change over time regardless of age
