Penis Size
75% of men are unhappy with penis size. Here are statistics for comparison.
A 2000 Straits Times survey found South Asian males have a flaccid penile circumference of 3. 14-4. 13 inches and length of 2. 36-4. 92 inches. Erect sizes range from 3. 66-5. 11 inches in circumference and 3. 74-5. 70 inches in length.
Temporary shrinkage of two inches or more can be caused by factors like cold weather or swimming. Don’t worry about falling short of the average size, as penis size doesn’t determine virility. Tall men don’t always have large penises, and there is no correlation between size and race. Size only becomes a problem if it affects sexual intercourse.
Why it matters?
Penises vary in size, shape, and color, determined by genetics like eye color or foot size. No exercises or diets can alter these traits. A man’s penis may seem smaller due to perspective when looking down. Erections minimize differences in size. Consult a doctor about any concerns. During puberty, regular testicular exams provide an opportunity for questions. Both boys and girls experience hormonal changes and worries. Girls often ask about breast development. Avoid comparing yourself to peers, as everyone develops at their own pace. Focus on your own growth and speak to a doctor if needed.
How You See It
A normal penis can vary in size and shape, and a slight curve is common due to normal anatomy. In fact, research suggests that a curved shape can help with semen delivery during intercourse. However, a severe bend or abnormal curvature can be a sign of Peyronie’s Disease, a condition characterized by:
– A noticeable bend or curve
– A hard lump or plaque in the penis, even when flaccid
– Painful erections or intercourse
Peyronie’s Disease can be caused by:
– Genetics (family history)
– Trauma, such as from violent intercourse or injury
– Fibrosis, leading to reduced elasticity in penile tissue
Treatment options are available to address symptoms and improve sexual function. If you’re concerned about your penis shape or experience painful intercourse, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
