What’s a Normal Penis Size?

It’s the subject that just about every teenage boy asks himself and may keep asking himself all the way through his life: How do I measure up?
Several modern studies say that the typical size is about 5 inches when the penis is “stretched.” (Sounds painful, but it just means extending a flaccid penis out fully - the size of a stretched penis is about identical as it is when erected.) Other studies found a usual closer to 6 inches. While it’s probable that there are racial dissimilarities in penis size, there’s little evidence. In spite of, there’s still a great deal of difference within racial groups at least.
Still, a lot of guys are convinced that they’re smaller than everyone else. In one study, investigators interrogated 92 men who judged themselves poorly endowed. Not a single one in fact had a small penis. While there are surgeries to increase the penis, they are not well studied and many men are miserable with the results.
