Is My Penis Normal? Is my penis small or large? What penis is normal?

Many men think their penis is small, often too small. It's commonly thought that straight men worry about penis size because it's something their female partners care about.

But research indicates that heterosexual men worry about penis size more than women do and that they are more dissatisfied with their penis size than their female partners are. Changing one's feelings about penis size doesn't happen overnight.

First, stop looking at it from your lofty vantage point – ie from above. That's not how she sees it and it gives you a false impression of size. Second, measure it properly. Most men underestimate the size of their penis. In a study at the University of Pittsburgh, US, 26 per cent of men gauged their own penis size as below average, and only 5 per cent ticked the above average box. What's more, research from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, showed that 86 per cent of men said their penis size worries vanished after they were educated about penis size.

Like bodies, penises come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. The size of your penis is determined by genetic traits that you’ve inherited from your parents – just like your eye color and your height. So there’s no “normal” size, because everyone is different. Studies have shown that the average penis size ranges from 2-4 inches without an erection, and between 5-6 inches with an erection.

If you have serious concerns about the size of your penis or you’re late going through puberty, talk with your health care provider.
