What is the ideal penis size?

Some questions haunt us all our lives. Almost every teenager asks himself whether his penis length is the norm — or possibly below average. It’s a concern that haunts many men well into adulthood. Only facts can help. That’s why we’ve compiled the most important facts about your best piece here for you.

What are the dimensions of the average penis?

In science, measurements are taken at least as often and extensively as they are taken at home. And all results differ slightly from each other. Nevertheless, an approximate average can be established. According to a study by King’s College London, the average penis size is 13.12 centimeters when erect. When the penis is flaccid, the average size is 9.16 centimeters. More than 15500 men aged 17 to 91 from many ethnic backgrounds were examined for this purpose.

In terms of penile girth, the researchers determined the following results: 9.31 centimeters for the flaccid penis and 11.66 centimeters for the erect penis.

The following factors can shrink a flaccid penis by five centimeters or more:

Cold weather

Cold water (bathing, showering, swimming)

Exhaustion

excitement (non-sexual)

Illness

Is the concern about a penis that is too small justified?

More than half of all men are not satisfied with their penis. Many of them assume that their best piece is too small. But in reality it is not. In many cases, the size complex is merely imaginary. Most men are completely adequately equipped. That is the result of a Canadian study on the self-assessment of male size ratios. Of the 92 men between 19 and 52 years of age surveyed, over 80 percent were of the opinion that their penis was too small or too short, and 13 of them even wanted to have it enlarged. Statistically, that’s an incorrect assessment, according to study leader Rany Shamloul of the University of Saskatchewan. For example, a flaccid limb could be considered “normal” if it was four centimeters or larger, he said. The respondents had estimated this value three times higher. Only from a length of less than 7 centimeters (in the erect state) do urologists speak of a so-called micropenis.

Porn performers are false role models

According to Shamloul, the misconceptions can be derived from false role models, such as porn in which performers shined with oversized work tools, or exaggerated stories from friends. More than half said their imagined problems started in childhood. After counseling, 76 men revised their opinions, and 11 men were also no longer interested in penis enlargement, he told the scientific journal Urology.

How to measure your penis length?

Measure in erect state: You must measure the penis in the erect state. Because only this can be compared. Why? Because there are two types of penis: Those that grow during an erection and are significantly smaller when flaccid, and those that hardly change their size during an erection and are therefore already relatively large when flaccid. The latter is also casually called flesh penis and the other model blood penis. According to an international Men’s Health survey, 79 percent of men have a blood penis and only 21 percent a flesh penis.

Determine the length: To determine the size of the penis, a ruler or tape measure is applied to the penis shaft on the abdomen without pressure and measured from there to the tip of the glans. Tip: If you use a ruler to measure your penis length, you should make sure that the measuring scale of the ruler also starts exactly at zero millimeters. If this is not the case, you can usually add about 3–5 millimeters to your measured result.

Determine the circumference: To check the circumference of the penis, it is best to measure with a tape measure. To do this, place the tape measure on the thickest part of the penis. It is best to measure more often in succession to really find the thickest part.

Do women find men with large penises more attractive?

Yes and no. From a purely visual point of view, women judge those men with a long penis to be more attractive on average than those with a small penis. This was the result of a study conducted by the Canadian University of Ottawa. 105 young Australian women were asked about the appearance of computer-animated images of one and the same man, which varied only in size, body shape and penis length (flaccid state). The researchers see the reason for the women’s preferences in the evolution of man. Apparently, a long penis was for many a sign that one could also produce healthy children with this man. But the penis was actually rather secondary for the attractiveness. It was much more important to the test subjects that their body shape was right. Broad shoulders and narrow hips won out over size and penis length.

What penis size are women really into?

However, when it comes to the performance of the penis, the length is not as important to women as many men assume. More important is the overall impression and shape of the member, i.e. the hardness and girth of the penis. Even though this is debatable, surveys have shown that about 92 percent of women hold this opinion and consider both the hardness and the girth of the penis as crucial for satisfaction during sex. Most importantly for pretty much every woman is how you handle your best piece, whether you are a good lover — there you can measure as much as you want.

The most important penis characteristics from a woman’s point of view:

The following were the results of a study conducted by the University Children’s Hospital in Zurich, which asked women about their perceptions of a beautiful penis.

1st place: Overall impression

2nd place: appearance of pubic hair

3rd place: Penis girth

4th place: Penis skin

5th place: Shape of the glans

6th place: Penis length

7th place: Appearance of testicles

Rank 8: Position and shape of the urethral orifice

Amazing facts and myths about penis length

Is it true that …

1. … Men with big noses or big hands have big penises? The saying “Like a man’s nose, like his John” is not true. In studies, neither the size of the nose nor the size of the hands could clearly give conclusions about the size of the penis.

2. … there is a man with an XXL penis? There are legends about it. Allegedly, the supposedly longest penis in the world belonged to the porn actor Daniel Arthur Mead, better known as Long John (Dong) Silver. However, it is not known whether the mighty privates are a natural gimmick of nature, or whether they were artificially helped. However, one thing is certain: such a large penis does not really give pleasure during sex. Because wearers of a very large penis often suffer from erection problems, because a lot of blood is needed to maintain the erection — and find a woman who is not afraid of such a device.

3. … cold water shrinks it? Yes, the blood vessels contract when it’s cold, so the surface area becomes smaller to prevent chilling. You know!

4. … Smoking shortens the penis? Yes. The penis shrinks by up to one centimeter. Reason: Nicotine damages the blood vessels through calcium deposits, penis tissue can no longer stretch as well.

5. … you can massage the penis bigger? The so-called “jelqing” is a method that is supposed to make the penis longer. This technique (to jelq, in German: milqing) is a stretching massage. The penis is taken at the root between thumb and forefinger and massaged to the tip with pulling movements (similar to milking). Those who do this consistently for half an hour every day should be able to expect an increase in length after about a year. However, the penis does not actually grow, only the tissue is stretched.

5. … the penis becomes smaller with age? Yes, this is unfortunately inevitable. The penis loses elasticity and, when erect, no longer reaches the size it had in youth. Women do not have it easier with their breasts.

What are the problems with penis length?

As already mentioned, most of the problems men have regarding their penis length are unfounded. However, in some cases, a medical problem, such as a hormonal disorder may underlie a small developed penis. If your penis is unnaturally tiny, you should definitely see an endocrinologist (hormone and metabolism specialist). Because you can be helped.

“In general, the problem of delayed sexual development can be treated very well nowadays,” explains Professor Johannes Hensen of the German Society for Endocrinology in Hanover. It’s best to ask your family doctor for a specialist. If you feel uncomfortable, you can also find an endocrinologist near you on the Internet.

How can I get a longer penis?

Of course, you can have your penis operated on. But before you undergo this ordeal, you should try these 3 tricks to fake a bigger penis:

Trick 1: If not only your beard growth is lush, but also your pubic hair, you should set the razor a meter lower. “Freed from the wild growth, the penis comes to better advantage,” knows porn director Kaito. Your hair doesn’t have to be cut off in a flash, it’s enough to shorten it significantly. “Take into account the shaft and scrotum as well.”

Trick 2: If your belly already pushes itself into the field of vision, the paunch also swallows a piece of the penis. The smaller the belly, the more powerful your most important body part will appear. There you go, that’s the opportunity to slim down a pound or two.

Trick 3: Under water, everything looks about 25 percent bigger — porn director Kaito calls this the magnifying glass effect. Suggest your sex partner a little interlude in the bathtub — with great effect.

Pills, pumps and more: aids for penis enlargement.

The market of artificial penis enlargements is large and promises a lot — most of it, however, is not necessary, wasted money or simply ineffective. If you are an adult and want to add centimeters to your best piece of meat with the help of a technical device, there are various extenders and penis stretchers that are supposed to provide length by means of negative pressure and traction. You should keep your hands off pills for penis enlargement that are often advertised in spam mails. They are more likely to swell the bank account of the alleged seller than the penis of the buyer.

How does surgical penis enlargement work?

During a surgical penis enlargement, the surgeon cuts the abdominal skin in the area of the penis root and then penetrates deep into the tissue below the pubic bone. There he cuts the retaining ligament of the penis. The result is that the organ can be “pulled out” a bit from the abdominal cavity, making it appear longer to the observer.

Whether the scalpel leads to the desired success, however, may be doubted. According to a study on this subject, two-thirds of men who have undergone penis surgery are dissatisfied with the result — expectations were simply too high. Experts say that surgery is only an option for erection lengths below 10 centimeters. It carries high, irreversible, risks. For example, it can lead to ugly scars, bleeding and impotence disorders, in addition, the erect penis subsequently points downward at a 60- to 70-degree angle. The bizarre thing: most men who think about artificial penis enlargement by scalpel are already equipped with an above-average length between 13 and 19 centimeters.

The thickening operation is performed endoscopically and takes about 45 minutes. However, the implantation of skin strips is actually an equally unsatisfactory method, so it is not necessarily recommended either.

What if the penis is too big?

It is much rarer for men to complain about a penis that is too big than about one that is too small. If, then it is either because they have problems maintaining erection or because the partner feels pain during sex. In this case, you should approach the act gently and not immediately insert the whole penis deep. Feel your way slowly and pay attention to the reactions of your beloved.

Conclusion: There is no such thing as the ideal penis size.

You think your penis is too small? But in reality it probably isn’t. And instead of fantasizing about an ideal size, remember: the most important thing for pretty much every woman is how you can handle your best piece and whether you are a good lover.
