Average Penis Size Facts and Myths

There are many myths and facts about the average penis size that can make men feel disappointed with their size. Regardless of the stereotypes adult movies may promote, you shouldn’t be worried because 75% of the global male population fits the average size when it comes to penis measurements.

If you have a penis the size of a Coke can then you are below average, if your penis is the size of a litre (or pint) glass then you are average and if you have a penis the size of a DVD case then you are above average. A 9 inches penis is the size of a Coke bottle.

Specialists explain that the average adult penis is five to seven inches or 127 to 178 mm long if measured when it’s erect. If you want to measure yours, you have to be careful to include the penis from the tip of its head to the abdomen. This is the correct measurement. The average circumference is approximately 5 inches around or 127 mm around. There are many talks about an individual’s penis due to his ethnicity or race. You don’t have to believe them. A great sexual life can happen for you even if you don’t have the ideal size. And remember to never measure the size of your penis when it is flaccid. It is a very familiar phenomenon that men with relatively small penises in the flaccid state can grow in size when the penis is erect. A penis that is longer in the soft state won’t grow that much.

The size of a penis can be influenced by age. Adolescent boys are still growing during puberty so there is no standard measurement for them. The adult size is reached in the early 20s. Another factor that could influence the way men see their penises is the angle from which they observe them. If you analyze it from above it is only normal to look small. If you visualize it from profile when facing a mirror, you’ll see its actual size. Another interesting fact is that a man’s average sized penis can double its size during sexual arousal, while a penis who is larger than average won’t increase that much. The penis can shrink once you grow older due to tissue shrinkage that occurs because the tissue gets older too. All body parts become smaller with age. You can practice daily exercise, but don’t expect that at 80 years old you’ll be able to have the size you had when you were 20.

A penis can also shrink because of decreased testosterone levels. A man’s body can keep proficiency testosterone levels until middle age. Once the body ages, the process will slow down. Of course a penis will also shrink when cold or the man gets anxious, but there is no scientifically proven theory that can admit that an average penis is more likely to grow smaller in size. Men think about the average penis size the same way women think about breasts size, but that doesn’t mean that an average size is something to be ashamed with.
