The myth that size matters in love-making is perpetuated despite evidence to the contrary. Men worldwide often have concerns about their willies' size, but this preoccupation doesn't contribute to a better love life.
According to Data Pandas, which compiled global findings from several international studies, the average erect penis length among Sudanese men is 7.07 inches (17.95 cm). This is about two inches longer than the global average, which ranges from 5.1 to 5.5 inches. The data was published in the International Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The Democratic Republic of Congo ranks second with an average of 7.05 inches, followed by Ecuador (6.93 inches), Republic of Congo (6.83 inches), and Ghana (6.81 inches). All top-ranking countries in the study are from Africa or South America.
The World Population Review suggests that penis size is influenced by multiple factors, including environment, nutrition, and hormones. Contrary to popular belief, race plays only a small role. Studies have also debunked myths linking penis size with shoe or hand size.
India ranks 105th, with an average penis length of 5.09 inches (12.93 cm). China follows in 106th place. Thailand is ranked last, with an average size of 3.72 inches. Several Asian countries, including Nepal, North Korea, and Cambodia, appear near the bottom of the list.
Among Western countries, the United States ranks 68th, the United Kingdom 60th, and Canada 74th, according to the same data.
Apprehension about penile size is a major concern for many men. This study aimed to estimate penile length and circumference among Indian males and compare the results with data from other countries. Understanding these measurements can help in counseling men who worry about their penile size and seek enlargement procedures. It can also aid in diagnostic assessments, therapeutic decisions, and condom sizing.
The study was conducted in Kerala, South India. A total of 500 men, aged 18 to 60, were randomly selected from a sexual dysfunction clinic and a urology outpatient department. After screening, 301 men without genital abnormalities were included. Penile measurements were taken in both flaccid and stretched states, while erected measurements were obtained from a smaller group through self-reporting and clinical assessment.
Measurements were standardized. Flaccid length was measured from the pubo-penile skin junction to the tip of the glans, and circumference was taken at the mid-shaft. Stretched length involved pulling the flaccid penis to its maximum length. Erected measurements were taken by 93 participants at home and by investigators in 41 cases. The team ensured consistency through practice trials and by controlling conditions like room temperature.
The research team's analysis provided the following measurements:
1. Flaccid, pendulous willies:
- Average length: 9.16 cm (3.61 inches)
- Average girth: 9.31 cm (3.66 inches)
2. Erect willies:
- Average length: 13.12 cm (5.16 inches)
- Average girth: 11.66 cm (4.59 inches)
The size distribution graph shows that outliers are rare:
- A 16-cm (6.3-inch) erect willies falls into the 95th percentile: Only 5 out of 100 men would have willies larger than this.
- A 10-cm (3.94-inch) erect willies falls into the 5th percentile: Only 5 out of 100 men would have willies smaller than this.
This data suggests that the majority of men fall within a relatively narrow range of willies sizes, and extreme variations are uncommon. It's important to remember that sexual satisfaction depends on many factors beyond physical attributes.
The average flaccid length was 8.21 cm, stretched length was 10.88 cm, and flaccid circumference was 9.14 cm. Erected length, as self-reported, averaged 13.01 cm, while investigator-measured length was slightly lower at 12.93 cm. Erected circumference was 11.46 cm in self-measurements and 11.49 cm when measured by investigators. Despite small statistical differences, correlations between self- and investigator-measured values were high.

Average Willies 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 Willie 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.
Top 10 countries with longest average Penis size
Rank | Country | Average Length (inches) | Average Length (cm) |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Sudan | 7.1 | 17.9 |
2 | DR Congo | 7.1 | 17.9 |
3 | Ecuador | 6.9 | 17.6 |
4 | Republic of the Congo | 6.8 | 17.3 |
5 | Ghana | 6.8 | 17.3 |
6 | Nigeria | 6.7 | 17.0 |
7 | Venezuela | 6.7 | 16.9 |
8 | Lebanon | 6.6 | 16.8 |
9 | Colombia | 6.6 | 16.8 |
10 | Cameroon | 6.6 | 16.6 |
This mismatch between perception and reality can cause anxiety and insecurity for men. Some even develop Small Willies Anxiety, worrying about size even if they're average.
As per the study, body measurements showed significant relationships with penile dimensions. Height positively correlated with flaccid and erected length and circumference. Weight had a positive correlation with erected circumference but a negative one with flaccid and stretched lengths. Higher body mass index (BMI) was associated with shorter flaccid, stretched, and erected lengths, but with a larger flaccid circumference.

Compared to other countries, Indian males had lower average flaccid and stretched lengths than those reported in the USA, Jordan, and Israel. However, measurements were similar to those from Nigeria and Israel for flaccid length. The study emphasized that many men seeking penile enlargement may have normal dimensions, and cultural perceptions often exaggerate what is considered average.
Small vs. Average Willies 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 Willies. This issue pertains to men's health, and you rightfully deserve and should seek help for it.
These factors include:
- MicroWillies
- Buried Willies
- Hormonal Deficiencies
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Poor Nutrition
- Age

Can you explain Willies 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 Willie, 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 Willies.
The unique composition of the X chromosome is believed to be the key factor in determining who has larger Willies. This explains why brothers can have different Willies sizes.
As for what affects the size, it’s important to note that no supplements or wishes can increase the size of your Willies. However, erectile dysfunction (ED) can affect the size of an erection. ED limits the amount of blood that can flow to the Willies during an erection, which in turn limits the firmness and size of the Willies. 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.
