    The average penis according to multiple studies is between 5.1" and 5.2" long erect. The average penis also grows up to five times in size when erect. I don’t think the problem posed in this article is something the average man needs to worry about.

      This took me a second to understand (it’s 4AM) and for a second I was like wait, this cannot be correct. No one is walking around with a 25 inch penis. Then I got it

          I don’t think so. Even with just 7 inches or so you’re starting to have to be careful with angles to avoid hurting your partner.

              it doesn’t even take that much. I sit forward enough to not be shitting on the seat, but still get front contact if I don’t push it up or down depending if I need to piss or not. and that’s the low end of the average. ban all small toilets!

                I’d heard people talking about this before and I was like “WTF? How big are these guys?”. But I had only ever had those really deep, oblong toilets. We moved into a house with standard toilets a few months ago and I was like “ooooh. Yeah, this sucks!”.

      So the average penis is about 1" flaccid?! That’s gotta be a global average. Not in my parts, I’ll tell you that. Not in the local gym showers at least (my only source of data).

          Well that’s an easy enough equation to solve. Girth stays the same, length goes 1/5th.

        Some people are showers some people are growers, plus it’d be totally different if it was freezing cold in your gyms changing room

          Right, but average though? I find that absolutely incredible. It’s not like it’s freezing cold when people measure their penises either… Or is that part of the statistics, to make men feel better about themselves?

          I absolutely cannot believe the average flaccid-penis size is one goddamn inch, unless you maybe mix billions of Asians in the mix (no hate). Not from my own experiences. Regional average has to be higher in Western/Northern Europe. No way does anyone of the penises I’ve seen shrink below 1 inch. 😆

            Like the other person said, 5x growth is overall, meaning length and girth. Some people grow more than others. The guys walking around without clothes at the gym are typically the more confident guys, meaning the guys who are more endowed. As someone who played sports for half his life, and was in the Army, I’ve seen a lot of dongs, and they’re all over the place. They seem to vary from 1/2" to the biggest I’ve ever seen which was an enormous 11" monster. The average flaccid just based on personal observation is 2-3 inches, so still not really something you need to worry about when getting your pants tailored. But if you’re a guy, then you know that your flaccid size varies greatly depending on a number of factors.

              Oh my god, of course. 😆 I’m so dumb. Right, that makes perfect sense then. God. Dad brain was kicking in hard, earlier. Thank you for that!

              Just out of curiosity, how do you know it was 11"? 😅

      I think this includes countries which have a much smaller average.
