So, I’ve been thinking about this whole penis size thing lately, and it’s been a wild ride. I mean, we hear all sorts of stuff, right? Like, what’s average, what’s not, and honestly, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher.
I decided to dive into it myself, you know, for science. First, I hit up the internet, because where else do you go for this kind of info? Found a bunch of studies, some saying the average erect penis is about 5.1 to 5.5 inches, others saying 5.6 inches with a 4.6-inch girth. There’s even this one systematic review from 2015 that looked at over 15,000 dudes.
Then there’s the whole flaccid versus erect thing. Apparently, the average flaccid length is between 2.5 and 4 inches, and when it’s go-time, it’s between 4.5 and 6.5 inches. Honestly, the range is pretty wide.
I even stumbled upon this study where they measured 1,661 guys. Can you imagine being one of those guys? “Hey, want to be part of a study? We’re going to measure your, uh, you know…” Wild, right?
Anyway, after all this reading, I figured I should see for myself. Grabbed a ruler—don’t judge, it was the easiest way—and did some measuring. Now, I won’t share my personal stats here, but let’s just say I fall within that average range. It was a bit awkward, not gonna lie, but hey, curiosity killed the cat, or in this case, measured the… you get it.
- Step 1: Research – I searched through various studies to get a general idea.
- Step 2: Gathering Tools – I got myself a simple ruler for measurement.
- Step 3: The Act Itself – I did my measurements in private. I measured it when it was soft and then again when it was hard to see the difference.
- Step 4: Documentation – I wrote down my measurements to compare with the data I found.
- Step 5: Reflection – I thought about how my measurements stacked up against the averages mentioned in the studies.
What I realized is that there’s a lot of variation out there. Some guys are bigger, some are smaller, and most of us are somewhere in between. And you know what? It’s all good. It is not as big of a deal as some make it out to be.
What really got me was that only about 15% of men have a penis larger than 7 inches, and only 2% are rocking more than 8 inches. It’s like, most of us are in the same boat, and it’s a pretty average-sized boat.
In the end, this whole experiment was more about satisfying my curiosity than anything else. It’s interesting to see how you compare to the “average,” but at the end of the day, it’s just a number. We’re all more than just our measurements, right?
My Conclusion
It was a fun little experiment, but I wouldn’t recommend obsessing over it. There are way more important things in life than the size of your junk. Trust me on this one.
