Penis size when erect and flaccid
Most men on average have the same penis size when erect which is known to be around 6 inches. Studies performed by the Journal of Urology (1996) and Lifestyle Condoms (2004) came to the conclusion that on average men are between 5.08 inches to 5.9 inches.
Of course the size of a penis may vary from man to man. Some men have very large erect or flaccid penises, while others are small or below the average of approximately 6” for an erect dick. Factors affecting your erect penis size or more particularly your flaccid penis size can be your ethnicity, temperature changes (remembers the Seinfeld episode?), what you eat, who you are having sex with and how you feel.
Historically there has always been an obsession with cock size
There has been a lot of evidence going back thousands of years of man’s obsession with penis size. A lot of it has to do with the rites of fertility, but really everyone loves to look big! Depictions of large members have been associated with figures of authority, gods, leaders and people of position. Every one of them is displayed as having a large penis or a nice looking penis. With this kind of historical background in place it is easy to see why some men strive to increase their penis size through penis enlargement methods. It is only natural!
Then there genetics that plays a large factor…
Until puberty, men experience limited penis growth. Stuck at 2.4 inches in length, it is only when their bodies begin to transgress into adulthood that their penis once more grows.
Take into consideration this fact that these days that there is no set age for puberty, with some beginning as early as 11 and other guys waiting until 15 years old. During this period no adolescent is the same. They are all at different stages of development which makes those locker rooms moments even more understandable. But as a result has left many men resting with these insecurities into adulthood.
Do small penises exist?
Unfortunately micro-penises do exist and they occur in 0.6% of men. The percentage is much higher for small penises which are less than the average size of 6 inches.
What’s the reason for micro-penises? It’s caused by a deficiency in testosterone levels during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. This hormone reduction results in a stunting in penis growth that will continue with them into adulthood.
These cases of micro-penis though are rare, and are easily identifiable as individuals with this condition can only experience erection sizes of 2 inches, compared to the average male.
On the other hand, the reason for small penises could be simply genetics. Luckily, advances in science and penis enlargement devices means that if you have a small penis or desire a slightly longer cock, than you can nowadays through penis enlargement..
Penile traction devices in particular can encourage natural penis enlargement of 2.75 inches through the stimulation of new tissue cells within the penis chambers.
