What is an “average” size for a penis?

The enduring question now has a scientific answer: 13.12 cm (approximately 5.2 inches) in length when erect, and 11.66 cm around, according to an analysis of more than 15,000 appendages around the world.

In a flaccid state, the penis of the average Joe is all of 9.16 cm in length and has a girth of 9.31 cm, according to the analysis.

The numbers should help “reassure the large majority of men that the size of their penis is in the normal range,” said British researchers who had assembled data from studies where participants had their penises measured by a professional.
