Healthline.comWhat is the average penis size?
A 2020 review of research on penis size found that the average length of an erect penis is between 5.1 inches and 5.5 inches. Factoring in volunteer bias, the researchers believe that the average falls closer to the lower end of that range.
Interesting numbers from the research:
⦁ When it comes to girth, the average is 3.66 for a flaccid penis and 4.59 inches for an erect penis.
⦁ Around 85 percent of people with penises overestimate what the average penis size actually is.
⦁ Many people with penises are under the impression that the average package is over 6 inches long — a notion that researchers partially attribute to studies that were based on self-reported measurements.
⦁ Based on various reports, 45 percent of people with penises wish they had a larger penis, including those who have average-sized ones.
⦁ For some perspective, an erect penis of 6.3 inches falls into the 95 percentile, meaning that only 5 out of 100 people would have a penis longer than 6.3 inches.
⦁ Likewise, an erect penis of 3.94 inches is in the 5 percentile, meaning that only 5 out of 100 would have a penis shorter than 3.94 inches.
⦁ Around 95 percent of penises do fall into the average range.
So to recap, research says the average penis size is a lot smaller than what most people believe it is and usually looks nothing like what you see in porn.
