Trends by Bukchris recently got a message from one of our readers asking what the normal size is. In my bid to answer this question, I decided to write up this post to answer the question. Here are my opinions and findings after doing some research on the internet.
At a point, just about every guy wonders how he measures up in the "down-there" department at one time or another.
There's a fairly wide range of normal penis sizes just as there is for every other body part. And just like other parts of the body, how a penis appears at different stages of a guy's life varies quite a bit. You wouldn't expect someone who is 11 years old to look the same as someone who's 20 years.
The "Man business" come in different sizes, shapes, and colours. These traits are hereditary, like eye colour or foot size, and there's nothing you can do to change them. Despite what you may hear or read, no special exercises, supplements, or diets will speed up the development process or change a guy's size. Also, like his feet, a guy's penis may appear smaller to him just because the perspective is different when he's looking down. And there's a lot less difference in penis size between guys when they get an erection than when their penises are relaxed so don't judge the true size of a penis while it is flaccid. Sometimes guys with relatively small flaccid penises grow to a larger size when erect, while their larger counterparts don't show as much growth when aroused.
In addition to size, guys also wonder about other aspects of how their penises look, such as whether the skin covering the penis is normal or if it's OK for a guy's penis to hang to the left or right (it is!). If you're concerned about how your penis looks, ask your doctor.
Some facts you should know about size
- The average penis is five to seven inches (127 to 178 mm)long when erect (measured from the tip of the penis head to the abdomen).
- The average circumference of a penis is near 5 inches or 127 mm around.
- Don't believe the hype. There isn't a single person on this planet that hasn't heard general statements relating penis size to race and ethnicity. Though in some cases the generalizations are true, they are merely stereotypes. There are men in all ethnic groups that negate such generalizations. In other words, don't judge a book by its cover! You may be disappointed with the results or pleasantly surprised.
