Penis size is of great concern to many men because they consider having a bigger penis is a mark of masculinity or sexual power. Most men are worried that their penis is too small to satisfy their lover sexual desires. As compared to other larger primates like the gorilla, the male human genitalia are remarkably huge in both thickness and length. But why do men still worried about their size?
Like we had mention above it is partly because a bigger penis represent a mark of masculinity or sexual power. On the other hand, it is because in this materialistic world, men are eager to achieve more than they could. No men would want an average house, an average life, an average car, so they would not want a small or average penis. According to numerous surveys, size does matter particularly the penis girth and it had shown that women had indeed experience an enhance sexual sensation that could not have been possible with an average or small penis.
Locker-room comparisons about what a normal penis size is also a test of confidence. Most men know that penis size varies from each individual and with a bigger penis will directly lead to increase confidence. Men in the changing room will not laugh or tease at the penis but would be full of envy. Penis size is determined by your genetics. Your penis size changes during puberty. Penis growth begins between the ages of 10 to 14 years old. The testicles start to increase in size first and public hair will be the next to follow. Penis will start to increase in length first while girth will be slightly later. You have to wait about one or two years after you have stopped growing in height before you will be able to know you final penis size.

Many men consider a big penis a mark of masculinity and worried that their penis won’t be able to satisfy their sexual partner(s).
There have been numerous studies on the average size of human penis. Most of them could be unreliable due to self-selection bias: men with small penis might be less likely to allow themselves to be measured, on the other hand, men with a big penis might be more likely to allow themselves to be measured. It is still unknown if this conjectured self-selection bias has been confirmed by any studies. So what is the average penis size according to age? The following statistics are not clinical measurements, they are the results from people who took part in an Internet poll.

Adult Average Penis Erect Length
A number of studies were conducted to find out the average penis size and it was measured along the top of the penis from the groin to the tip. Studies that depend on self-measurement usually reported a higher average size than those measurements done by medical or scientific researchers. The oldest study done and published in the Journal of Urology in 1996 revealed that average erect length was 12.9cm (5.0 in).
Another academic and scientific studies published in the December 2000 International Journal of Impotence Research revealed the average erect size was 13.6cm (5.35 in). Self-Measurement Survey conducted by Sizesurvey.com revealed an average size of 16 cm (6.4 in). Another survey conducted by Jackinworld.com revealed average size of 15.6 cm (6.1 inches).
Adult Average Penis Erect Girth
In 2001, a study performed by LifeStyles Condoms during Spring Break in Canc?n revealed average girth size of 12.6 cm (5.0 in).
Adult Average Penis Flaccid length
In 1996, a study that was published in the Journal of Urology revealed that average flaccid length was 8.8 cm (3.5 in). The length of the flaccid penis is not necessarily proportional to size of the erect penis due to many factors. A smaller-than-average flaccid penis could grow to 5 times bigger its flaccid length and twice its girth or a flaccid penis on the larger side could only grow about 1.5 times the length during an erection. Low temperatures can also affect the size of the flaccid penis.
Average Penis Size According To Alfred Kinsey Institute
The first massive scientific study survey of human sexual behavior was conducted by Alfred Kinsey, pioneering sexologist. After that in 1948 Kinsey and associates, collected information regarding average penis size from 3000+ adult men. As usual, the measurements were taken when the penises were erect, along the top of the penis, where the top of the penile shaft meets the public area to the tip. Girth measurements were also taken. The final outcomes concluded that the average penis girth is 4.94 inches while average penis length is 6.36 inches.
Average Penis Size According To Durex Condom
A penis size survey was conducted by the Durex Condom on their website. Altogether there were 2,936 men who took part in the survey. As always the results from self-measurement mostly reported a higher average size than those done by scientific or medical professional. The outcomes revealed average penis length size were 6.4 inches and average penis girth is 5.2 inches.
Average Penis Size According To Definitive Penis Size Survey
This average penis size was derided by leveraging the power of the web. The results produced similarity to Kinsey and so it seems reasonable to assume that bogus entries are overwhelmed by good entries. The average flaccid penis length is 8.6 cm (3.4 in) while the average erect penis length is 16.3 cm (6.4 in). The average erect penis circumference is 12.7 cm (5.0 in).
World Record Penis Size
Who has the world biggest penis? The largest, but unofficial measurement of 14 inches long, when erect was obtained by Dr. David Reuben in 1969. Unfortunately, this piece of information until now remains unverified. Another official rank of the largest penis obtained by Dr. Robert Dickinson in the earlier part of the twentieth century revealed the penis was 13.5 inches in length and 6.25 inches in diameter. It remains the record-holder till now. Today numerous studies from Alfred Kinsey, and other known scientists yielded impressive results, but not as long as the penis size obtained by Dr. Robert Dickinson. They gets penis size ranging from 9.5 to twelve inches. Today, Dr. Dickinson’s documented case is the most valid candidate as the alpha male of the species.
