Statistics on Penis Size in Humans
When it comes to information on the average size of a man's penis, there is often a lot of confusion, controversy, and speculation. We've all heard those stereotypes such as:
- Black men have larger penises.
- Latino men have wider penises.
- White men have smaller penises.
The interesting thing about these three points above is that none of them are backed up by scientific proof or evidence. There is not a shred of data to support any of the claims. Yet people still believe that each of these points are true.
So what is the truth about the size of the average penis? Have any studies been done which provide a reputable source or authority to give us an overall picture of the relative size of the human penis? We took a look - and have some interesting results.
The Average Penis Size
If you are looking for an exact figure on penis size, the most regularly published average is exactly 13.8 cm - with a general interval of 12.9 cm to 15 cm. For those who prefer to measure in inches, this is equivalent to 5.1 inches to 5.9 inches.
This same study also found some interesting facts surrounding the circumference of the human penis when it is fully erected.
In the report, the average circumference was deemed to be 12.3 cm when the penis was fully erected. When it was not correct, this average circumference size dropped to 10.2 cm. Remember, this is measuring at the base of the penis.
Additional Statistical Penis Findings
Whilst the main objective of the study that we looked at was to measure the average size of the human penis, there were also a number of additional statistical findings associated with the report.
A few of these include:
- No interaction between race and penis size.
- Penis size is often genetically dependent.
- Penis enlargement does indeed work for some.
These findings may be useful if you are currently unhappy with the size of your penis. If you are currently below average, the fact that the study found that penis enlargement techniques do indeed work should be of some comfort. For that reason, we would highly recommend that you try a natural or herbal supplement in the first instance - as further research from other studies has concluded that these two techniques for enlarging the size of the penis are the most effective.
