Penis Size

Everything You Want to Know About The Size of Your Penis!
Penis development and penis size is the stuff of teenage and adult anxiety. Take a look at all the statistics relating to penis size and advertising for various enhancements to be found throughout the web and you will find this to be true.
Locker-room comparisons about what a normal penis size is, or should be, is a test of confidence. This is mostly because although men know that penis size varies from person to person there is a long-standing myth that sexual prowess relies on having a large penis. Sexual satisfaction is due to a number of things and size is only one aspect. Big is not the same as, or equal to, satisfaction.Although a big penis is currently thought to be aesthetically pleasing it is, like various aspects of the human anatomy, open to shifting trends. In ancient Rome and Greece for example a large penis was thought to be laughable-check out the statues in the museum.Penis size is determined by genetics. The size of the penis changes during puberty. Penis growth starts between the ages of about 10 to 14 years of age, although some boys are younger, some older. The testicles begin to enlarge first and hair grows in the pubic region. The penis grows in length first and girth slightly later. Average size for the mature non-erect adult is between 3 to 4 inches (8-10 centimeters). Teenagers have to wait one or two years after they have stopped growing in height before they will be able to know their final penis size.Body size can affect the penis length. If a person is overweight or obese then the penis looks a lot smaller because it will be surrounded and sometimes almost engulfed by fat. This, in medical terms, is called a concealed penis. There are a number of medical conditions that effect penis size. These are evident at birth and may require medical intervention. Micropenis (just over half an inch) is a condition that may be a genetic or hormonal problem. Webbed penis, concealed penis and trapped penis are all conditions where the penis is normal but outwardly small. This can be rectified with surgical help. Very rarely children may be born without a penis, a condition know as penile agenesis but affecting only 1 in 20 million males. Please do a Google search if you would like to learn more about these medical conditions. One of the difficulties you may come across in your quest to establish what normal penis size is (flaccid or erect) is that global statistics are not always easy to come by that have been properly scientifically collated. There are a number of internet polls and various survey statistics available but it does not take much imagination to realize that the statistics may well be flawed. Often the results are pooled from self-reports and as this relies on men being absolutely truthful about their penis size there may be a bias towards exaggerate claims. What would you do if called to measure your penis? Would you round up the figures rather than down?Flaccid penis size is no indicator of erect penis size. In some men their penis hardly changes size between flaccid and erect states. Other men may have fairly modest flaccid penis sizes but have a much larger erection. Interestingly it is often the flaccid penis size that concerns men the most. Temporary size increase can be achieved through the use of penis pumps but care has to be taken not to be over enthusiastic.
For those of you still concerned, here are some solid statistics:Average adult flaccid penis is in the range 2.5 to 4.5 inches (6-11 cm)Average adult erect penis is in the range 4 to 8 inches (10-20 cm) Following is the conversion for Penis Size from inches to centimeters:
less than 4 inches = 10.1 cm and below 4-5 inches = 10.1-12.7 cm (flaccid average) 5-6 inches = 12.7-15.2 cm (erect average) 6-7 inches = 15.2-17.8 cm (erect average) 7-8 inches = 17.8-20.3 cm (erect average) 8-9 inches = 20.3-22.9 cm 9-10 inches = 22.9-25.4 cm >10 inches = 25.4 cm and above
