The average penis is between 5.1 and 5.5 inches, with one study finding that nearly everyone falls within this range. Penis enlargement methods do exist, but many may be harmful, do not work, or only have temporary effects.
The average penis size is not nearly as big as many people think it is!
A
2020 review of research on penis size found that the average length of an
erect penis is between 5.1 inches and 5.5 inches. Factoring in volunteer bias, the researchers believe that the average falls closer to the lower end of that range.
Older 2014 research pegged the average length of a
flaccid penis at
3.61 inchesTrusted Source.

What does the research say?
Let’s start with some interesting numbers:
- When it comes to length, the averageTrusted Source is 3.61 for a flaccid penis and 5.16 inches for an erect penis.
- Most peopleTrusted Source with penises overestimate what the average penis size actually is, according to 2015 research.
- Many people with penises are under the impression that the average package is over 6 inches long — a notion that researchersTrusted Source partially attribute to older studies that were based on self-reported measurements.
- Based on various reports, many peopleTrusted Source with penises wish they had a larger penis, including those who have average-sized ones.
- For some perspective, an erect penis of 6.3 inches falls into the 95 percentileTrusted Source, according to 2014 research, meaning that only 5 out of 100 people would have a penis longer than 6.3 inches.
- Likewise, an erect penis of 3.94 inches is in the 5 percentileTrusted Source, meaning that only 5 out of 100 would have a penis shorter than 3.94 inches.
- Around 95 percentTrusted Source of penises do fall into the average range.
- Average erect penis length may have increased worldwide in the past few decades. The researchers theorize it may have to do with people with penises reaching puberty earlier, increased body size, and exposure to hormone-disrupting substances.
So to recap, research says the average penis size is a lot smaller than what most people believe it is and usually looks nothing like what you see in porn.

Amongst the Caucasians and some non-Black races, there is the popular belief that the black people generally have longer penile sizes. Even the Blacks themselves tend to believe so. This study was carried out to test the veracity of this ascription of “oversized” penile length to people of the Black (Negro) race.Design: A prospective and comparative study setting: The Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Nigeria.Subjects and Method: Full-stretch flaccid penile lengths, and flaccid penile lengths, were measured in 115 adult men of the Black race in Nigeria. The results were compared with reported similar main studies on people of other races, which were accessible to the authors. These studies were done in Italy, Greece, Korea, Britain, and the United States of America. Result: The mean full-stretch penile length of the Nigerian Blacks was 13.37cm and the mean flaccid length was 9.36cm. Similar studies reported full-stretch penile lengths of 12.50cm in Italians, 12.18cm in Greeks, 9.6cm in Koreans, 13cm in British Caucasians, and 12.45cm in the American Caucasians. The penile length for Nigerian Blacks was longer than those of the other races,
but the differences were only statistically different in comparison with the Koreans.Conclusion: There is the possibility of racial differences in penile sizes, but there is no convincing scientific background to support the ascription of bigger penile dimensions to people of the Black race
Why have I posted this all.. Simple to bring you all back into the world of reality. Yes so black guys are larger than some, but so are some white guys and what you consider average isn't what you think it is.
