Penis Size insecurities or questions live inside the man’s brain until they don't know how well they are in bed. We are sharing five little facts we know about penis size, and you should be thankful.

1. Wide range of penis size

There is actually no appropriate size of your penis. You can measure with whichever scale you want but you won't find any size that is a standard for all.

The male world is filled with a variety of sizes of penis.

VeryWell Health explains that there is a wide range of penis shapes and sizes that are considered within the realm of "normal." When it comes to classifying penis types, three main characteristics are often used: penis size, degree of penis curvature, and circumcision status. These factors help differentiate variations among individuals.

The wide range begins from as small as 1.6 inches to 10.2 inches which were found from a study conducted by different researchers.

Of course, the average erect size, if measured with most men in the category would be somewhere around 5.30 to 5.60 inches.

You would be astonished to see most men with the average-sized penis are quite sure that they have a small penis.

But this is actually a wrong perception and one of the main reasons for penis anxiety.

Whatever your normal erected penis size is, just remember that this is not the smallest one and you are probably amongst the 80 percentile among men with the same size of the penis.

2. Your penis is larger than you think

Some people might have anxiety about their penis size and this might affect their performance in the bed. Sex is all about your confidence and how you feel about yourself.

So, if you think that your penis is small, this might downgrade your performance and confidence during sex.

So, wait a minute and think again before going down that depression lane. Your penis is twice as large as it appears. Yes, that's true and it is an anatomical fact.

Your penis connected to a lot of organs inside your body.

Well, why shouldn't it be? It is the important organ of two of the vital systems in the body; the reproductive system and the urinary system.

The inside part of the penis extends well up to the pelvic region and is connected to other organs as well.

So, you can understand that what you are seeing on the outer side of the penis, is just half of it.

3. Penis size has no relation to other traits of your body

Let's admit it! I don't think there is anyone who hasn't heard anything about the myth saying that your penis size is correlated to your shoe size.

Not only this but also some other myths are popular among men about the penis size.

Many have said a lot of things about the nose, face, thumbs, index finger and what not.

But believe this, your penis size has absolutely no relation to other body parts? size. This is just a myth people used to say from ancient times.

Researchers have studied the size of the penis and tried to make a correlation to other body parts among many individuals but there was no solid evidence found.

Many believed in the fact around the African nations that guys with bigger physique and buttock have a larger penis.

Although there were some examples that men with bigger butt have a larger penis, there is maybe some connection to the pelvic region but with the physique, there is no evidence.

According to an article published on the Medical News Today website, while it is indeed true that penis size can be considered a genetic trait, it is important to note that many other factors contribute to the size of the penis. These factors encompass a wide range of influences such as hormones, nutrition, and diet.

So, there is actually no way to determine the penis size without looking at it.

4. Your penis size can decrease

You might have seen or heard a lot of advertisements around you about penis enlargement.

If you go down that lane then you are risking your penis health because it is proven that most of these methods are unhealthy and in most cases, they can't enlarge your penis in a healthy and natural way.

In some instances, it has been seen to affect exactly the opposite and decrease the size of your penis. There can be many reasons for this situation.

Penis size is both an anatomical and hormonal factor. So any kind of alteration in the hormones and their respective glands can effectively decrease your penis size.

It has been proven in some studies that smoking can cause your penis to shorten in size by 1 centimeter. So, all the smokers out there be careful, another demerit of smoking is here.

Another reason can be if the elasticity of the penile tissues is disrupted due to the lack of erections and also lack of blood flow in the veins of the penis. 

5. Flaccid size and erect size

There is a saying, don't judge a book by its cover.

A similar thing can be said for your penis, don't judge your erect penis size by your flaccid penis size. Most men have a very smaller flaccid size than their erect size.

Many studies have been conducted by several groups to establish some kind of correlation with the flaccid size and erect size but to date, there hasn't been any solid proof about this.

The flaccid size of the penis can vary largely among men with similar erect size.

Some of them even have the flaccid size so small which is comparable to a child. Many things act as a factor in the flaccid size like weather, environment, scrotum anomaly and many more.

This is the reason that penis size is measured when it is erected. If you have a large flaccid size that doesn't necessarily mean that you will have a large erect size as well.

Some men have a large flaccid size but their erect size is not as much as it should be and vice versa.

Based on an article from News Medical Today, it is important to mention that the penis experiences growth during puberty and may continue to develop for a few years afterwards. Regarding dimensions, a reputable source reports that the average measurement for a flaccid penis is around 8.8 cm. Conversely, the average size for an erect penis is approximately 12.9 cm. These statistics offer a general insight into the usual range of penis sizes.

6. Alcohol is truly an enemy to a man’s penis

Depending on where you are in the world, alcohol is a major part of social life. People really do take alcohol for granted and mindlessly take it as a regular part of daily life.

But in reality, alcohol is really an enemy to a man’s penis health. It isn’t to say that just drinking alcohol can destroy your penis health, but casual drinking that borderlines being excessive can lead to many problems with the penis.

If you are young but a heavy drinker, alcohol could potentially lead to mild and occasional inability to get and maintain hardness.

But if you keep this drinking habit until you are well in your 50s… chances are you are going to experience penis shrinkage much sooner than your non-drinking peers.

This is mainly because alcohol is highly acidic and can easily mess up your blood vessels and arteries.

7. Penis girth is often more highly regarded than penis length

In a man’s world, guys talk about the important of having a long penis. Meanwhile, not as many talk about the desirability of having a great penis girth.

Penis girth is often more favourable in terms of pleasing oneself and one’s partner. After all, a penis really does not need to reach very deep into the vagina to make a woman moan with absolute pleasure.

In fact, a woman’s pleasure zone is not even deep within the vagina—it is the clitoris which is located just above the opening of the vagina.

Meanwhile, when talking about the inside of the vagina, if your penis is fat, it makes it easier to fill in and touch every part of a woman’s vaginal walls. This is why women like guys who have a fat penis, rather than a penis that’s just long.
