Both too large and too small penis can cause problems in intimate life. Many factors influence the formation of an organ, and even before the birth of a boy. Many men, even in adolescence, doom themselves to complexes in the near future, creating negative conditions for the full development of the penis during puberty.

depends on the level of androgenic hormones, that is, from the whole set of factors that directly or indirectly affect their synthesis. In the male body, the production of androgens is subject to a strict hierarchy - this is the so-called HHP chain (hypothalamus-pituitary-testicles). The signal to activate or stop the synthesis of testosterone goes from the brain to the testicles through the production of certain substances:

1. The hypothalamus produces the hormone gonadoliberin (GnRH).
2. GnRH, entering the pituitary gland, stimulates the synthesis of follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones (FSH and LSH).
3. LSH signals the testicles to produce testosterone.

The more smoothly the above mechanism works, the greater the volume of testosterone and the penis.

The formation of the penis in a male child begins even before birth, therefore, its size is influenced by congenital factors: the nature of the course of pregnancy, the presence of genetic mutations of the X chromosomes, pathologies of intrauterine development. As for passing member parameters by inheritance, there is such a possibility. Moreover, genetics can manifest itself in the 3rd generation.

The boy's penis begins to grow actively during puberty (puberty), which begins from the moment when the brain starts the process of synthesis of stimulating hormones (read). Low testosterone levels (hypogonadism) between the ages of 10 and 16 will lead to a lack of penis growth. The main circumstances provoking androgen deficiency in adolescents:

• Pathologies of the pituitary or hypothalamus, provoked by trauma, tumor processes, infectious diseases;
• Inflammation of the testicles with subsequent atrophy of their tissues (probably with a complication of mumps);
• Diabetes;
• Pathology of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands;
• Obesity (in adipose tissue, testosterone is converted into the female hormone estrogen);
• Chronic stress and excessive exercise (cortisol inhibits testosterone synthesis);
• Lack of vitamins and microelements necessary for the normal functioning of the sex glands;
• Addiction to bad habits (hormonal metabolism is disturbed).

Symptoms of hypogonadism during puberty that prevent the body from reaching its potential

Under the influence of the above factors, the development of the penis slows down or stops altogether.

Some men are sure that the growth of their penis is hindered or phimosis. Doctors refute such claims. Also circumcision, masturbation and sexual abstinence do not affect penis size.

The size of the penis does not depend on growth. Often, in tall men, the penis is thin and rather modest, while in short and stocky men, it is long and fleshy.

Factors affecting adult size

In adulthood, a penis may decrease due to various diseases that affect the structure of its tissues (for example, Peyronie's disease), due to injuries or age-related atrophy. In men who abuse alcohol and cigarettes, the sexual organ loses its tone much earlier due to lack of blood supply and nutrition.

Adult men can keep their penis in good shape provided they have regular sexual activity (frequent natural blood supply enhances tissue turgor - the stressed state of cell membranes), replenishes the deficiency of vitamins E, C, A, zinc, selenium, magnesium.

The better the physical form, the more optimal the condition of the penis and the more balanced the hormonal background. In obese men, the phallus is visually smaller because it is hidden in the pubic fold, and testosterone levels are lower.

The average size

The average (normal, standard) size of the penis is a conditional value that doctors are guided by to determine whether the sexual development of the child corresponds to his age. At 10-13 years old, the length of the penis in a calm state can be from 3 to 6 cm, at 14-15 years old - from 6 to 9 cm, at 18 years old - 10-12 cm. At 20-22 years old, penis growth stops.

There is no clear size standard. Various sources offer their ranges. An example of the classification of terms depending on the length in the excited state:

1. Up to 4-6 cm - micropenis.
2. Up to 12 cm - small.
3. From 12 to 18 cm is the normal size.
4. More than 18 cm - large.

In the vast majority of men, an erect penis normally reaches from 12 to 14 cm in length and 3-4 cm in diameter. The small size of an unexcited penis does not yet indicate the sexual failure of its owner - when excited, such an organ will increase much more than a large one.

What is considered the norm in terms of the shape and size of the penis

Another factor that influences the average penis size is race. Different countries have their own standards. Research statistics have shown that the leaders in the average length of an erect penis are the inhabitants of the Congo and Sudan - 18 cm. The most modest average size for Thais is 9.4 cm, for the Chinese a little more - 9.7 cm. For Europeans - 13-14 cm, for Asians - 11-12 cm. In Russia, according to various sources, the size ranges from 14 to 17 cm.

The largest member, whose parameters are recorded in the Guinness Book of Records, belongs to the American John Falcon. The maximum size during an erection is 34.29 cm, length in a calm state - 20.32 cm. The smallest genital organ is in the Pole Li Pzhyzbylovich. His penis barely reaches 4 cm during erection. In medicine, such a deviation from the norm is referred to as "congenital hypoplasia."

Does size matter

Since the length of the penis does not affect the physiological excretory functions, sexual life is the only area where its size matters. Most men are sure: the larger the penis, the happier the woman will be. Is not a fact. It all depends on the depth of the vagina, the elasticity of its muscles and the degree of arousal - perfect size for every woman. The average depth of the vagina in a calm state is 7-9 cm, in an excited state - 15-16 cm. It is 15 cm - the optimal length of the penis according to most women.

The hypothesis "the deeper - the more pleasant" does not work, since the vagina is an organ that is poor in nerve endings. In some areas, their density is higher (as in point G), but this area is 2-4 cm from the entrance, so the length of the penis does not play a special role for a woman to achieve orgasm. More important diameter. It is this parameter of the penis that affects the feeling of fullness and the degree of stimulation of the nerve endings located in the walls.

What do women think about penis size?

Too long penis (from 20-22 cm) causes a man no less problems than a short one A: Most women experience pain and discomfort during and after sex. Position options are very limited, you have to be careful. Intense shocks to the cervix during intercourse can lead to injury.

The muscles of the vagina, like the muscles that control the penis, can be trained. With mutual desire, the sexual compatibility of partners will improve significantly.

How to determine size

Men should know the size of their penis at least in order to choose the right condom. Many complain on the forums that when the contraceptive is pulled on, the erection disappears, protected sex becomes impossible. In 90% of cases, the cause is the wrong size.

Measurements are made on an erect organ. The length is determined using a regular ruler, slightly pressed into the pubis. The distance from the root of the penis to the projection of the end of the urethra on the plane of the ruler is taken into account.

The penis in girth can be measured with a centimeter tape or thread (wrap and then put on a ruler). The circumference is measured at the thickest point. Dividing the result by 3.14 calculates the diameter.

How to increase the size

Before and during puberty, the parameters of a teenager's penis can be influenced by hormone therapy. Short courses are administered testosterone or human chorionic gonadotropin.

In adult men, the effect of testosterone on penis size fades into the background, so hormone therapy to increase it after puberty is not advisable. First of all, the following means are used:

• Apparatus: and rings, ,

  The most effective penis growth exercise is jelqing, a video on how to do it correctly

  All of the above only work if used regularly for a long time.. Men who are not ready to devote the lion's share of time to massaging the penis can choose other methods to increase it:

  1. in the head and stem. The effect is enough for 6-12 months.
  2. Plastic surgery with own fat or muscle tissue.
  3. Implantation of a self-absorbable biomatrix.
  4. Falloprosthetics.

  All methods carry a certain health hazard: rejection of implants, suppuration, migration of materials, leading to irreversible deformation of the penis and necrosis of its tissues. According to statistics, more than 84% of men who seek surgical penis enlargement do not need it.

  Conclusion

  There is no "gold standard" for the shape and size of the penis, which should be guided by. The degree of satisfaction of a man with the parameters of his penis and intimate life is largely determined by the successful selection of a partner. Harmonious relationships do not give reason to think about how a member fits certain standards, and do not force you to look for ways to increase it.

The average length of the penis in men during sexual arousal varies between 13-16 cm. The greatest influence on the size of the penis is belonging to the race, as well as individual characteristics: genetic heredity, endocrine disorders and some pathologies of the genitourinary system. According to studies, most men overestimate the optimal length of the penis, while women's preferences are in line with the average data.

Average sizes

The collection of statistical data for men was carried out by many researchers, and their results are mixed:

The sexual organ in men begins to actively increase during puberty, and by the age of 15-18 reaches its maximum size. The average penis size by age is presented in the table:

Over the course of four years, from 1998 to 2002, Russian sociologist and sexologist Igor Kon interviewed 8,267 men over the age of 18 about the length of an erect penis. The data obtained in the form of distribution of sizes according to their prevalence as a percentage are summarized in the table:

Penis size (percentage of men surveyed)

It can be concluded that nThe most common (average) penis length for men in Russia is 15 cm.

The information collected by foreign researchers (LifeStiles Condoms) correlates with the data of domestic doctors:

Based on the generalization of the data obtained from world statistics, it can be established that the normal length of an erect penis is the range of 13.8-16.6 cm, and the circumference of its trunk is 11.4 cm. Most studies of the size of the penis were carried out in an erect state, since it was this is the most important for men and women.

The degree of swelling of the genitals during sex varies from person to person. In many men with a long penis at rest, the increase in size during erection does not exceed 2 cm, and in those who have a short penis, it can increase by 2-3 times.

The woman's vagina also changes in different ways. With strong excitation, the sizes can differ by a factor of 2.

Possible deviations

Penis sizes of 40-50 cm are observed in rare cases, with endocrine diseases or elephantiasis - a violation of the lymphatic flow, as a result of which the organ swells.

The largest officially recorded penis length in a healthy man is 34.5 cm in an aroused state and 24 cm in a calm state.

A common problem is insufficient penis size. In surgical practice, there is another criterion for assessing the optimal length of manhood. The lower limit of normal size is 9.5 cm, since with a smaller size, a full-fledged sexual intercourse becomes impossible.

In this regard, two concepts are also used in medicine:

• small penis, the length of which is in the range of 2-9.5 cm;
• micropenis: size less than 1.5-2 cm, diameter - up to 1 cm. If the pathology is caused by endocrine disorders, then the use of hormone therapy contributes to normal. With the ineffectiveness of such treatment, an operation is performed to change the sex to a female.

The small size of the penis in children and adolescents can be due to several reasons:

• lack of growth hormone or gonadotropic hormones produced in the human pituitary gland;
• insensitivity of the genital organs to steroid male sex hormones;
• congenital disorders of the functioning of the adrenal cortex;
• genetic abnormalities;
• pathologies of the central nervous system: the absence of part or all of the pituitary gland, its underdevelopment, brain tumors, hydrocephalus;
• deficiency of one of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of testosterone due to a lack of 5-alpha reductase.

The development of this pathology is affected by the intake of certain medications by the mother during pregnancy: hydantoids (Difenin, Phenytoin, used in the treatment of seizures), estrogen- and progesterone-containing drugs, as well as adverse environmental factors leading to endocrine disorders.

The most active growth of the penis in guys falls on 12-14 years. According to statistics, dissatisfaction with the size of the penis in men often occurs at a more mature age. The length of an erect penis is influenced by several factors:

• features of the anatomical structure;
• tissue elasticity;
• stubbornness of the protein membrane;
• connection with surrounding tissues.

The extensibility of the penis depends on the content of elastic and collagen fibers in the albuginea and cavernous bodies. Over the years, their flexibility and elasticity decrease. in length is observed in the following pathologies:

• diabetes;
• trauma;
• cavernous fibrosis;
• congenital or acquired erectile deformity.

Factors affecting penis size

In addition to pathological abnormalities, there are other factors that affect the size of the penis: race and anthropometric characteristics. The higher the height of a man, the longer his penis, and the greater the weight, the shorter it is. Other types of relationships (foot, nose, toe sizes) with penis length have not been officially confirmed.

The thickness of the penis at rest is directly related to height, but is not related to body weight. In overweight men, the length may appear smaller due to the pubic fat fold hanging over the penis, although in fact its size remains the same. Such a phenomenon in andrology is called a hidden penis.

Some males underestimate the size of the penis due to the angle obtained when looking down on it, or due to incorrect measurement techniques. The results are also influenced by the ambient temperature and the general health of the man.

There are medical studies that indicate the dependence of penis size on belonging to race. In black men, the length in a calm state is on average 1-3 cm longer than in whites, and in an erection, the values ​​are practically comparable.

Asian men have the smallest penis sizes in Cambodia, India, Thailand and Japan. The average penis length during erection is 11-12 cm. The obtained statistical data are taken into account when selling condoms and making penile prostheses in these regions.

Women's Preferences

According to an anonymous survey, over 70% of women would prefer a man with large genitals. Other studies show that 85% of girls are satisfied with the size of the chosen one's penis, and 6% consider it to be below average. In men, this figure is much lower - 55% are satisfied with the length of their penis, and 45% would like to increase it.

Most women give importance to the width of the penis, not its length. This is due to the fact that the penis of a larger diameter stimulates the clitoral area more effectively. Too thick penis causes pain and discomfort during intercourse. There are no sensitive areas in the depths of the vagina, so the length is not so important.

As statistics show, women consider ideal penis sizes to be at the upper level of the average: length 16 cm and 12 cm in girth. Contrary to popular belief, the main role in obtaining sexual satisfaction is played not by the size of the organ, but by the introductory caresses and attention from the partner.

How to enlarge the penis?

You can increase the size of the penis using several methods:

• Vacuum. A vacuum is created around the soft tissues of the penis using a hand pump. The procedure is carried out for half an hour daily. The average is 3 cm in 3-6 months.
• Traction, based on the principle of tissue stretching under the influence of constant prolonged physical impact. Stretching is performed using cord, strap or vacuum extenders. The optimal wearing time is 6-8 hours a day for 2-4 sets. The result is achieved within six months (an average lengthening of 3 cm).
• Surgical. It allows not only to make the penis longer, but also thicker. The most universal method of lengthening is ligamentotomy - the intersection of the supporting ligament and the release of the cavernous bodies to the level of the arteries. After dissection, the cavernous bodies are fixed in a new position. The operation allows you to increase the penis by 3-5 cm.

Ligamentotomy

The standard result of surgical lengthening is 2.5-3 cm. Effective and reliable surgical techniques do not exist. The condition may be minimal or completely absent.

Produced in the following ways:

• The introduction of synthetic gels or alloderm under the skin of the penis - specially processed human adipose tissue extracted from corpses.
• Transplantation (subcutaneous wrapping) of a fragment of the muscles of the chest, back or rectus abdominis muscle taken from the patient.
• Subcutaneous injection of implanted adipose tissue extracted from the suprapubic area.
• Transplantation of a skin-fat flap cut from the gluteal or inguinal folds.

When assessing the length of the penis, a man focuses on generally accepted norms (according to the statistics of the association of urologists and andrologists). The penis is represented by muscle fibers, three sections of the cavernous bodies and one spongy layer. The parameters of the member and its functioning depend on their state. The normal penis size varies from 12 to 18 cm. Minor deviations from the norm in both directions are not a pathology. The measurement is made when the penis is in a state of erection. The temperature conditions, the hormonal background of the man and the psycho-emotional state are taken into account.

In the article we will tell:

What is the normal penis size?

Scientists have identified the normal penis size through numerous studies. According to statistics, the average length of the penis is 13-15 cm when in a state of erection. The diameter of the penis in an excited state is 5-10 cm. In medicine, a penis less than 12 cm in length is considered a pathology.

In medicine, the following categories of parameters of the penis are distinguished:

• normal penis size (more than 12 cm);
• small penis (in an erect state, its length is 7-9 cm);
• micropenis (a pathological condition in which the length of the organ does not exceed 4 cm).

Organ length norm

When determining the size of the penis, it is necessary to take into account the structure of the body of a man. Representatives of large builds differ in the size of the penis above average. With a miniature physique, the length of the organ in the region of 11-13 cm is considered normal. Therefore, hasty conclusions regarding the parameters should not be made.

In medical practice, a length of 12 to 18 cm is considered the norm. Everything else is considered as a pathology. It should be borne in mind that in adolescents, measuring the length of the penis is impractical, since it is in the stage of active growth.

normal penis thickness

The circumference of the penis is just as important as its length. Volume directly depends on genetics. It is not necessary that this indicator be proportional to the length of the organ. A thickness of 3 to 5 cm is considered normal. The average circumference is 5-10 cm.

What determines the size of the penis?

The size of the penis depends on a combination of factors, among which heredity is of paramount importance.

Other important factors include:

1. Hormonal background. Male puberty begins at 12-13 years of age. At this age, there is an increased production of hormones responsible for the quality of spermatogenesis and the development of the cavernous bodies. With hormonal imbalance, deviations in the size of the penis are observed.
2. Wrong nutrition. The lack of nutrients slows down the reproductive organs. This also affects the parameters of the penis.
3. Ecological situation. Unfavorable environmental conditions can have a depressing effect on penis growth in adolescence. A similar effect is exerted by toxic substances entering the body (drugs, alcohol, nicotine).
4. Accompanying illnesses. Most often, the violation of the formation of the genital organs is prevented by endocrine diseases or hereditary pathologies.
5. Excess weight. Against the background of obesity, the length of the penis is significantly reduced. This is due to the visual illusion provoked by the appearance of fat folds in the lower abdomen. After weight loss, the situation changes dramatically.

During puberty, the parameters of the penis change. Upon reaching a certain age (after 55-65 years), the size of manhood decreases. This is considered a normal process associated with age-related changes occurring in the body. The number of elastic fibers capable of stretching is significantly reduced. This is reflected in both erectile function and penis size.

Scientists have found that the length of the penis in a calm state is in no way related to its parameters during arousal.

Sizing

When determining the parameters of the penis, accuracy in measurements is important. The conclusion is made on the basis of three indicators - the length, girth and diameter of the penis. To measure, use a tape measure or centimeter. Initially, you should achieve a stable erection.

To ensure better sliding, it is advisable to use a lubricant. One side of the tape measure or centimeter is fixed at the base of the penis, from the top point. In the area of ​​​​the end of the head of the penis, a mark should be made with a pen or pencil.

To determine the girth, a piece of thread or a centimeter is used. Measurements are made in the thickest part of the erect member.

The centimeter is wrapped around the penis, after which a mark is made on it. The resulting number is the length of the girth.

To determine the diameter, additional research is not necessary. It is enough to divide the girth indicator by the number 3.14. The resulting value indicates the diameter of the penis. To avoid errors, it is advisable to carry out calculations using a calculator.

Causes of deviations in size

Normal penis size is found in only 60% of the male population. Various deviations are laid even in the period of intrauterine development. Sometimes they arise under the influence of external factors in adolescence. In an adult male, penis size cannot change.

The following factors can provoke deviations:

• hereditary diseases;
• hormonal disorders;
• organ injury;
• excess weight.

Congenital pathologies of the structure of the penis are eliminated surgically. Implants are most often used to thicken the organ.

How to get the penis size norm?

To increase the size of the penis to a standard length, you must resort to the help of specialized tools. But first, the feasibility of these measures should be determined.

There are several ways to adjust the size:

• surgical intervention;
• use of creams and gels;
• use of extenders and vacuum pumps;
• various fittings.

Devices for penis enlargement at home are widely used. These include vacuum pumps and local use.

The vacuum method of influencing the genital organ promotes blood flow, due to which there is an increase in volume. Creams, ointments and gels have an irritating effect that improves microcirculation.

Extenders are most often used after surgery. They are not visible at all under clothing. At the initial stages, the device is worn for 2 hours.

In the future, the wearing time is increased to 8 hours. The total duration of use is several months. The device stretches the cavernous bodies, allowing you to increase the length of the organ by 2-3 cm.

Surgery is the most effective way to change the parameters of the penis. It is carried out in the classical way, according to the method of ligamentotomy or by penile prosthesis. Ligamentotomy is considered the most popular technique. It involves cutting the ligament that holds the penis.

After the operation, you need to wear an extender to fix the desired result.

The disadvantages of surgery include a long rehabilitation period. The advantage is the preservation of the result until the end of life. A temporary effect is the increase in the penis with the help of injections of hyaluronic acid.

Folk methods only help to increase sexual desire. They do not affect the size of the penis. They are recommended to be used in conjunction with other methods of adjusting the size of manhood.

What do women desire?

According to surveys, penis size is not a priority for women. Most of the fair sex pays attention neither to the length, but to the girth of the organ. But the skills of a man and the quality of foreplay are of paramount importance. What penis size is considered optimal depends on the particular woman and the structural features of her genitals.

The normal length of the penis is a relative concept. Generally accepted standards should not be a guide, as there are many other factors that affect the quality of a sexual life. In most cases, the problems provoked by insufficiently large sizes are psychological in nature.

The male penis can be compared to an axis around which all the ideas of a man about himself revolve. In him is the focus of his masculinity, the source of the deepest experiences. However, many men have no idea about the anatomy and physiology of the penis. Lack of knowledge is often a source of anxiety and worry.

Men's increased attention to the size of their penis is nothing new. Back in the 16th century, this concern was reflected in the works of Gabriele Fallopio, the scientist who first described the fallopian tubes in women. In his advice on the upbringing of his sons, he strictly instructed parents to "take care with all diligence to increase the size of their offspring's penis in infancy." What could poor parents do? Stretch the baby's penis in length? And what about the thickness?
There are countries where, to this day, stones are placed under the foreskin of a child in the hope that under the influence of their gravity, the penis will be pulled back and become longer. But the only consequence of this procedure, apart from pain, is the possibility of infection.

A rare man did not dream of lengthening his most beloved organ by at least a couple of centimeters. Yes, it would be nice to thicken it a little.
Interest in a larger penis has led to the emergence of a market for penis enlargement services. There are hundreds of companies trying to convince a man that his penis is the wrong size or abnormal shape, that the man needs a bigger penis. Penis size, sexual preoccupation in general, has led to products such as penis pumps, pills, and other dubious size enlargers becoming top-selling items in spam mail. But before you dial the coveted phone number in the hope of changing your life for the better, you should figure out what a small penis is and how it affects the quality of your sex life?
Sexologists believe that with almost any penis size, using a certain sex technique, you can always achieve, so to speak, tangible results. Moreover, a woman's vagina is designed in such a way that she will be satisfied regardless of size. But complaints about excessive sizes are found: injuries, rupture of tissues of internal organs, difficulties with erection.

Sexologists conducted a study among women who assessed the size of the penis. In general, women were more concerned about penis width than men themselves. Women paid less attention to its length. "...the number one reason why women preferred a thicker penis was that it was more satisfying during intercourse." It has been suggested that a wider penis creates more irritation in the clitoral region, while a longer penis reaches an area that is less sensitive to sexual stimulation.
According to a number of doctors and researchers, several misunderstandings of vaginal intercourse have formed. Many men exaggerate the importance of deep vaginal penetration in stimulating a woman to orgasm. However, the most sensitive area of ​​the female genital organs includes the vulva, the clitoris, and the part of the vagina closest to the entrance to it, which is approximately 10 cm.

What is the "optimal" penis size? What should be considered a small penis? How to measure it? What affects its growth and size? What if the size "leaves much to be desired"? What are the best correction methods? These questions are asked by thousands of men.

The size of a man's penis refers to its length and thickness. When compared to other primates, including large primates such as gorillas, the male reproductive organs are noticeably larger, and the penis is longer and thicker, both in absolute terms and relative to the body.
The size of the male penis varies greatly from man to man. No other human organ varies within such wide limits, while remaining functional.
The growth of the penis on average goes up to 17 years. At the age of 17, the penis reaches its maximum length, which then decreases slightly. By the age of 18, with a thickening of the penis, its length decreases on average by 0.5 cm
In adolescence, there are also bends of the penis. Only a few boys experience penile curvature before puberty.
There is an opinion that the size of the penis is negatively correlated with the age of a man. "Individual studies have shown that penis size is smaller in older men, but when they compared the results of different studies (over a period of more than 60 years), they did not note an overall difference."
80 physically normal Americans, with an average age of 54, had erections induced with medication. They concluded: "Neither the age of a man, nor the size of his penis at rest did not allow us to accurately predict the length of the penis in a state of erection."
A study published in December 2000 by the International Journal of Impotence Research found that the average erect penis length in Europeans is 13.6 cm (measured by staff members).
In a study by LifeStiles Condoms, the average penis length was 14.5 cm with a standard deviation of 2.1 cm.
It is believed that the normal size of an erect penis lies in the range from 12 to 18 cm, and in a calm state, the length of the penis averages 7.5-10.5 cm. The thickness of a normal penis during erection ranges from 3.0-3, 5 cm. A typical girth or circumference when fully erect is approximately 12.3 cm. A study by LifeStiles in Cancun found an average of 12.63 cm with a standard deviation of 1.3 cm.
At rest, the size of the penis is determined by the degree of filling with blood of the cavernous bodies. Cavernous bodies, which are spongy formations consisting of many small vessels and cavities, are capable, like other vessels of the body, of responding to the action of active substances present in the blood, as well as to the influence of temperature factors. So, with a decrease in air temperature, the vessels of the penis narrow, which leads to a decrease in blood flow to the cavernous bodies and a decrease in the penis. As the temperature rises, the reverse reaction is observed. Vasoconstriction and a decrease in the size of the penis also occur when adrenaline is released into the blood in response to a fright or other stressful situation, as well as after sexual intercourse. Therefore, it happens that the penis, which is large and "representative" during an erection, decreases many times and contracts at rest.
The size of the erect penis is limited by the tunica albuginea - a structure that has strong connective tissue in its composition, which limits the stretching of the penis during erection.
It is now believed that the level of the hormone testosterone during puberty plays a major role in the development of the penis, determining its size. At the same time, the small size of the penis (less than 8-10 cm) may indirectly indicate serious endocrine disorders associated with low production of male sex hormones. On the other hand, a fairly large scatter in the normal length of the penis (12 and 18 cm) can be explained by individual differences in the anatomy of the inguinal region, namely, the ratio of the hidden and free parts of the cavernous bodies and the surrounding albuginea. There is an opinion that with a normal level of sex hormones and normal development of the cavernous bodies in different men, due to individual characteristics, the hidden part of the cavernous bodies, which is responsible for attaching the latter to the pubic bones and fixing the penis, is differently expressed.
According to the literature, the length of the largest penis is 30 cm, having a diameter of 18 cm. Naturally, there is great doubt about the possibility of using such a member for its intended purpose.

The penis should be measured at room temperature, relaxed and erect. This should be done with a soft ruler from the pubic joint to the top of the glans penis.
When determining the size of the penis, ethnicity should be taken into account.
So, in an interesting study, Dr. Robert Chartham measured the genitals in a state of erection in men of various nationalities. The record was the following indicators of the length of the penis: the British - 25 cm; the Germans - 21.5 cm; representatives of the Negroid race - 19 cm; the French - 19.5 cm; for the Danes - 20 cm; Americans - 19.5 cm; the Swedes have 19.5 cm.

What is a small penis?

A penis less than 12 cm in an erect state is called a small penis, and less than 8 cm a micropenis.
Some identifiable causes are deficiency of pituitary growth hormone and/or gonadotropic hormones, moderate degrees of androgen insensitivity, various genetic syndromes. In early childhood, some micropenis types can be resolved with growth hormone or testosterone treatment.
Small penis syndrome is a collective concept that includes both micropenis, which is a manifestation of the pathology that arose in the early stages of the laying of the genital organs, and underdevelopment of the penis, which is a symptom of congenital or acquired endocrinopathy, in which testosterone deficiency is noted. Consequently, the syndrome of a small penis in all cases requires a thorough examination to determine the causes that led to the underdevelopment or insufficient development of the penis and develop treatment tactics.
The term micropenis should be used only in cases of congenital endocrine pathology, when the length of the penis does not exceed 1.5 - 2.0 cm at rest. In other cases, the term small penis syndrome should be used.
The term penile hypoplasia is used when the size of the penis does not correspond to normal age indicators.
Small penis syndrome can be isolated or combined with other disorders of sexual development, such as cryptorchidism or hypospadias.
As a rule, small penis syndrome is accompanied by testicular hypoplasia (underdevelopment of the testicles).
Thus, the syndrome of the small penis is not a cosmetic problem, but most often a manifestation of the endocrine.
Often, in obese men, there is an excessive deposition of subcutaneous fat in the pubic area, in which the penis is, as it were, recessed, as a result of which it seems that it has a small size.

The shape of the penis is nothing more than an individual feature of the body, the same as, for example, facial features.
In some men, the penis may be thickened in the middle, in others it is bent at the end, and in a state of erection it can be bent in the form of a saber.
There is no relationship between the size of the penis and the strength of sexual desire, the activity of a man's sexual life. Sexual activity is driven by a complex interplay of many factors: heredity, hormone levels, general physical and mental health, and childhood experiences.
Men who lead a sedentary lifestyle and consume canned beer or other drinks in cans (a substance that inhibits the reproduction of male sex hormones is used as a preservative) risk getting a decrease in the amount of male hormones in the body as a bonus and, as a result, a decrease in the size of the penis, a change in physique towards the female type and other troubles.
To avoid this, exercise, eat preservative-free foods, and have a normal sex life.
A healthy man does not have problems with potency, but in a state of stress, illness, fatigue, a man may temporarily lose the ability to have an erection. You just need to calm down or recover - and soon everything will fall into place.
The Roman physician Galen (c. 100 AD) believed that sex was necessary for the health of both women and men. Insufficient sex life leads to hysteria, while regular sex cures depression, increases appetite and frees the mind.
In conclusion, I would like to say that concern about penis size is typical, first of all, for young people. For mature men, not even its size during an erection is more important, but the tension of the penis during intercourse.

The optimal size of the male penis according to women and scientists

The topic of the diameter and length of the penis is as old as the world, and for centuries it has occupied the minds of men more than all other issues combined. The most "sensitive" part of the body brings a lot of anxiety and gives rise to complexes in many, and only a small percentage are satisfied with their penis size.

Let's see if we need to worry so much and what is the normal penis size. And where are all the problems associated with this topic actually hiding.

Scientific justification is a must

A lot of research is being carried out in different countries, as well as experiments "for science". Many men are very worried because of (as it seems to them) the small size of their dignity.

Some do not even have intimate relationships, as they are embarrassed to simply undress. I would like to suggest that everything is in order, but it is sometimes possible to disbelieve in erroneous conjectures only with the help of scientific facts.

In some cases, it is the facts and results of research that help to get rid of false complexes, because the opinion of scientists is important for everyone. This saves many men from useless penis enlargement surgeries.

After all, some manipulations help only for a short period of time. And there are cases when there were complications or complexes - as before, they have not gone anywhere.

Moreover, as all the same studies have shown, dissatisfaction with the parameters of manhood is a whole range of mental issues.

1. The largest percentage of men who are extremely dissatisfied with a penis actually have a standard size. More than half of them.
2. The second half has a length and diameter above average, but it seems to them that this is not enough for a full sexual life.
3. Problems in intimacy are more often associated not with the parameters of the "economy", but with personal complexes, that is, in other words, the problem is in the head.

Therefore, before attributing tens of thousands of dollars to doctors with a highly developed commercial streak, you should really familiarize yourself with the scientific information.

And one more thing: when you really want to have an incredibly sexy penis, remember, can you change the size of your feet or fingerprints at the same time? There are parameters of the body that are given by nature, and are not subject, without extreme necessity, to changes and mechanical intervention. An exception may be an accident or an accident when an operation is simply necessary.

Reasons for wanting to measure a penis

The subconscious desire to be able to satisfy any woman, to always be in shape, underlies this whim. Moreover, measurements of dignity do not occur once, this is a fairly frequent procedure. If everything is in order, then you can continue to live in peace.

Such special attention suggests that for a man his genitals have been extremely important since the Stone Age. After all, it is necessary to continue the race. Another reason: to show their superiority compared to the female genital organs, which do not have prominent parts. This is already a deepening in psychology, but, nevertheless, classical science confirms that in their subcortex women envy the presence of a penis.

A man asserts himself and feels more confident and secure when he is convinced that he has a normal penis size. He respects himself and is proud. But when the results of manipulations with the ruler do not satisfy him, mental suffering begins, because you just don’t admit to the problem.

But it is worth noting that this size of the penis, as a rule, is quite normal, you just need to learn how to use it correctly, and in general ask how to satisfy a woman.

According to anatomy, the length of the female vagina is from 7 to 10.6 cm. This is enough for almost any penis. However, many women openly say that they need a large diameter and the size has the meaning.

Satisfaction is not about size

Not so simple. Each case is very individual, as is the experience. If a man with quite ordinary genitals simply could not excite his partner, then these are his personal flaws, and the penis has nothing to do with it.

When happy couples were interviewed, more than half (85%) are very pleased with the size of their lovers' manhood. It is understandable, because the point is love, when you like everything in a person.

But, at the same time, out of this number of men, only 55% considered their penis to be normal. Here is a defect of the second halves, who are embarrassed to prompt, relax, who do not know how to get an orgasm. They need to seriously learn sexual literacy, and not accuse partners of imperfection.

Big size doesn't matter

Strive for a huge cock - not quite a reasonable approach: large parameters can damage the female genital organs. As a resident of Mexico, whose dignity weighs almost a kilogram and is about 50 cm long, admitted, he is very unhappy because he cannot kneel in church and find a sexual partner. They are simply afraid of him and do not even want to satisfy him for money.

Lack of sexual experience cannot be overshadowed by a huge "friend". This "bait" is only good at first, as you will still have to use oral caresses, tongue and hands to satisfy. Indeed, in a woman, the main part of the body is the clitoris (a small semblance of a penis with the same sensitivity). And you need to know how to deal with it.

Once you have learned to bring to orgasm, a penis of any size will be the best. That is, in addition to the ability to handle your "cowboy", it is necessary to fully study the body of a woman. Then you can really feel like a macho, because there is nothing more beautiful than a satisfied partner.

Myths and reality

There are several opinions: some are sure that the parameters directly depend on height, while others depend on the nose (that's right). But it is time to leave these relics in the past.

After all, if you look for a partner by the length of the nose, then you can be completely left with nothing. It's really impossible to guess what's in a man's pants until you're in bed with him. Therefore, the stronger sex can relax and feel its uniqueness with complete satisfaction.

Another important point: porn films that completely distort the idea of ​​​​the beauty and perfection of the human body. Huge penises sometimes cause not admiration at all, but hidden fear. It is clear that the actors earn money, shoot a lot of takes. The viewer sees only part of a long process.

This industry has its own tricks and tricks that most do not even know about. In addition, partners who scream with orgasm may not get it at all, because the 20th take has already been filmed, and even the operator with the camera is standing nearby.

Therefore, this idea of ​​​​sex is not entirely correct initially. There you can learn only some techniques and postures, but not at all envy of the size of the genitals.

A purely technical question - standards and sizes

In order to completely reassure our dear men, to confirm the viability and full compliance, we will present the figures confirmed by science, numerous surveys and the participation of a large number of guys. This helped determine the average length and diameter of the penis.

Norms confirmed by scientists

• In a calm state - 9 - 9.5 cm, in a state of erection - 12.6 - 14.8 cm (length).
• Girth in normal form - no more than 9 cm, in an excited state - up to 10.5 cm.

There is another data made at the University of London. Almost 15,000 men took part in the experiment. Their genitals were examined by medical luminaries, professors, sexologists and conducted about 20 types of research. Received the following data.

• In a calm state, the length of the penis is 9.17 cm, in an erect form 13.13 cm.
• The circumference, respectively, is 9.32 cm at rest and with an erection - 11.65 cm.

If you are not yet with a ruler, then take a control measurement for your own peace of mind and breathe a sigh of relief.

Options to measure a penis

There are several ways to find out the 3 main parameters: length, girth and diameter (width).

1. We measure the length. You can do without lubrication. First bring the penis into a state of erection. Then place the tape measure with one end toward the pubic bone. And put a sheet of paper on top. Mark with a pencil where the head ends. Here it is important to press the end of the tape measure more tightly to the base, then it will be possible to find out a really real figure.
2. Girth can be measured just as easily. Unwind a small (up to 15 cm) piece of thread. In an erect form, find a tight place on the penis and wrap the thread 1 time, mark. Then attach this thread to the tape measure and get the exact parameter.
3. Diameter is also easy to measure. The girth must be divided by 3.14. Get the width or diameter.

It is important to do the experiment at least three times, write down each result, and then derive the arithmetic mean. These will be the exact parameters. Lubrication can not be used, and if you are afraid to injure the organ, then a small amount will still come in handy.

What Penis Sizes Do Women Prefer?

If, after all the manipulations carried out, the end result did not satisfy you at all, then you should not even begin to worry. Real men know that it is not the size that matters, but the quality, the duration of the sexual intercourse, the skill and knowledge of some secrets.

A condom will help

All rubber products are made taking into account average parameters. Therefore, you can focus on their length and thickness. Here is the data.

• Length: 13.96 - 14 cm
• Girth: 11.42 - 12.9 - 13 cm
• Diameter: 3.5 - 4.5 cm.

Indeed a problem

In the course of a consultation with a sexologist I know, a specialist with almost 20 years of experience, it turned out that more often guys who seek advice are those whose dignity is above average. This gives a certain inconvenience: the partner experiences pain, discomfort and fear during sex.

You can do more, but you can't do less. For this reason, complexes and loneliness arise, because there is also a fear of causing discomfort to a woman, causing a negative reaction. And a man cannot completely relax because of his worries.

Subsequently, if such a man finds a suitable partner, you have to prepare a couple for a happy sexual relationship.

Drawing a conclusion, I would like to remind you that the size does not matter, and the most normal size is for a beloved, smart, attentive and caring man.
