Average Penis Size

The truth about the "average penis size"

One common myth needs to be put to bed: penis size is almost entirely unrelated to height; hand, feet or nose size; or any of the other things you might have heard. Penis size is sort of like nose size -- there are many very tall men with small noses and very short men with enormous ones. In reality, penis size is even less related to height than noses are. Penis size is determined purely by individual hereditary factors. Almost all men have a penis that is between 2.5 and 4.5 inches (approximately 6-11 centimeters) in length while flaccid (soft) and 99 percent of penises are between four and eight inches (approximately 10-20 centimeters) in length while fully erect.
