Maybe size doesn't matter, but come on. You know you're curious. Men all over the world must have concerns about their penis size and many people must have witnessed their pride. However, this doesn't contribute to a better love life. The myth just perpetuates the idea that a larger size equates to better love.
The scientific journal Personality and Individual Differences recently published research on the average penis lengths of men around the world. According to the study, men from the Republic of Congo have the biggest average penis length in the world at 7.1 inches.
The study ranked 113 nationalities, and while I couldn't locate the complete list to inform you of the exact position of our American men on the size scale, they didn't achieve the top spot. The study ranked British men 78th out of 113 with an average length of 5.5 inches. The Americans were behind the Brits, Canadians, Spaniards, French, Australians, and Russians with an average length of 5.1 inches.
The team's analysis indicates that the average length of a flaccid, pendulous penis is 9.16 cm (3.61 inches), while the average length of an erect penis is 13.12 cm (5.16 inches). They also measured the corresponding girth, finding it to be 9.31 cm (3.66 inches) for a flaccid penis and 11.66 cm (4.59 inches) for an erect one.
A graph of the size distribution shows that outliers are rare. A 16-cm (6.3-inch) erect penis falls into the 95th percentile: Out of 100 men, only five would have a penis larger than 16 cm. Conversely, an erect penis measuring 10 cm (3.94 inches) falls into the 5th percentile: Only five out of 100 men would have a penis smaller than 10 cm.

Average Penis Size: What The Data Tell Us
Feeling self-conscious is normal, but obsessing over it can be a problem. Some people have a condition called Penile Dysmorphic Disorder, where they're overly concerned about their size.
Survey data shows that people often think the average penis size is bigger than it actually is. In one survey, participants guessed the average size to be around 6 inches, when it's actually closer to 5.2 inches. Poland had the highest guesses at 6.18 inches, while the UK guessed the closest at 4.88 inches.
This mismatch between perception and reality can cause anxiety and insecurity for men. Some even develop Small Penis Anxiety, worrying about size even if they're average.
Small vs. Average Penis Sizes
Having said all of that, certain circumstances such as genetic predispositions, congenital issues, or even specific environmental factors may indisputably give you a small or hidden penis. This issue pertains to men's health, and you rightfully deserve and should seek help for it.
These factors include:
- Micropenis
- Buried Penis
- Hormonal Deficiencies
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Poor Nutrition
- Age
Can you explain penis size?
The size is often considered to be the parameter for an ability to satisfy his partner. It is one of the most common myths that concern a large number of men across the world.
In men, only the front portion of the genital is sensitive to sensations. So, the pleasure of the male partner also does not depend on the entire length of the willies, but on the ‘sensitivity’ of the glans.
The size of a penis, much like our height, varies from person to person and is largely determined by genetics and biology. Our parents’ sex chromosomes play a significant role in this. The Y chromosome from our father, which contains the ‘male-determining’ or SRY gene, combines with the X chromosome from our mother. This combination influences the size of our penis.
The unique composition of the X chromosome is believed to be the key factor in determining who has a larger penis. This explains why brothers can have different penis sizes.
As for what affects size, it’s important to note that no supplements or wishes can increase the size of your penis. However, erectile dysfunction (ED) can affect the size of an erection. ED limits the amount of blood that can flow to the penis during an erection, which in turn limits the firmness and size of the penis. So, less blood flow during an erection can result in a smaller erection.
Before you vehemently defend your non-Ecuadorian man, we already question the methodology of this study, particularly since we gathered the data through websites. So, review the information cautiously, but I bet you don't mind considering the statistics.
