FIRST STUDY (averages of measurements given by teens to a survey done by researchers)

Age....... Size

12....... 4.1" (104 mm)

13....... 5.1" (130 mm)

14....... 6.0" (152 mm)

15....... 6.1" (155 mm)

16....... 6.3" (160 mm)

17....... 6.5" (165 mm)

18....... 6.4" (163 mm)

19....... 6.2" (157 mm)

20....... 6.2" (157 mm)

Conclusions:

The average adult penis size is about 6.1 inches or (157mm). It is interesting that in this study, penis size 'peaks' at age 17. Since penises do not get smaller as a male approaches age 21, it can be concluded that boys aged 16, 17, and 18 are most likely to exaggerate the size of their penises.

SECOND STUDY (averages of measurements taken by doctors)

Age....... **Erect Length (inches & centimeters)

11....... 3.0" (3 and 0/16ths") 7.5 cm

12....... 3.8" (3 and 13/16ths") 9.6 cm

13....... 4.8" (4 and 13/16ths") 12.3 cm

14....... 5.4" (5 and 6/16ths") 13.6 cm

15....... 5.6" (5 and 10/16ths") 14.3 cm

16....... 5.7" (5 and 11/16ths") 14.5 cm

17....... 5.8" (5 and 13/16ths") 14.8 cm

18....... 5.8" (5 and 13/16ths") 14.8 cm

19+鈥?. 5.9" (5 and 14/16ths") 14.9 cm

Conclusions:

This table is a collection of measurements from doctors and pediatric physicians. They do not measure the boys' penises while they have erections. The length of the erect penis can be determined by stretching the flaccid penis from the tip as far out as it will comfortably extend. It is then measured from the tip to the base while flaccid (and still extended). The measurement is then taken for the medical records of boys who have had developmental concerns, urogenital diseases, or penis injuries. It does not take long for a group of physicians to determine averages and normal variations when they see hundreds of patients per year.
