What Is the Average Penis Size?
Lots of guys like to go out and brag about the size of their knob, but a lot of them are all talk and no walk. Most guys aren’t going around sporting footlong dicks, even when they’re fully erect. And, honestly, you probably wouldn’t want to, it would just be cumbersome.
So, what does the average penis look like?
2015 research shows that erect penises are 5.17 inches on average, contrasting the age-old myth that 6 inches in the norm. These normal-sized men have a girth of about 4.59 inches when they’re hard as well.
Flaccid penises are obviously going to be smaller. The average one rings in around 3.6 inches long and 3.67 inches in girth.

Are There Different Types of Penis Features Impacting Size?
Of course, no two people’s genitals look alike. Men have different head sizes, which can impact girth. They also have different shapes and curvatures, which can change the length of the penis.
Genetics impacts penis size quite a bit. This is one reason why the average penis size varies a lot from country to country.
Erections are also almost always bigger than flaccid penises. Yes, this is true for showers as well as growers. This is a totally normal variation in basically every dude.
You may also think that circumcised vs uncircumcised penises will always be different. However, this isn’t true. The foreskin adds very little length to the penis (if it even adds any at all).
How to Measure Your Penis the Right Way
To determine whether your penis is above average or not, you’re going to need to learn how to measure it correctly. Luckily, this is a pretty easy process. All you need is a ruler and some measuring tape.
The ruler is ideal for measuring length. Make sure that it is on the top side of your penis that you see when you look down. The bottom side has no clear stopping point and you could easily skew results by measuring your taint.
Put the ruler at the base of your penis right where it meets your body. Push past any fat and pubic hair so that the ruler rests directly against the pelvic bone.
The number on the ruler where your penis head ends is your length. It’s that simple!
Measuring girth will require measuring tape since you can’t wrap a ruler around your penis. Make sure to measure the middle of your penis shaft. Feel free to find the widest point if that makes you feel better.
The number on the tape measure will show your girth.
