All about penis sizes and shapes

Does size matter? Well, when it comes to penis, not really! It's all in your mind. Most often, men assume that the length of their penis is directly proportional to the pleasure of a female. But female pleasure does not solely depend on the length of the penis. There are a number of ways to pleasure a woman!

Normal size of penis?

So is there a normal size of a penis? The simple answer is no. All men have various shapes and sizes. Most Penises come in varies shapes and sizes. And they all look different: straight, curved, long, thick, thin, circumcised, uncircumcised. One is no better than the other. Your penis usually hangs to one particular side inside your pants.

When soft, a penis is usually between 6 and 13 centimetres long. An erect one is usually somewhere between 7 and 17 centimetres long. The average is about 12 centimetres. Smaller penises grow more in size when they become erect compared to large penises. Check more details about penis in this article. 

If you want to measure your penis, do it when it’s erect, on the top side – the side closest to your belly.

Some boys joke a lot about the size of their penis or other people's penises. It’s often because they feel insecure, or because they want to look tough, or they want to make up for lack of knowledge.

Does size really matter? 

If you have a bigger penis, it doesn’t make you a better lover, and it doesn’t mean you’ll have better sex. To have better sex, you need to know your partner's body, their likes, dislikes, pleasure points and much more. In fact, you can enjoy sex without penetration too. Don't believe us? Read here

Girls or women find foreplay, affection and relationship satisfaction as important as their partner’s penis size.

Do condoms have different sizes too then?

Yes, condoms too come in various sizes ( and flavours!). When you buy condoms, it’s important to find ones that fit you. Most condoms are made to fit average erect penis sizes (4.7-5.9 inches / 12-17cm). 

Since most condoms are made for the average penis, here are some examples of smaller condoms and larger condoms.

Do people from some ethnic groups have bigger penises than others?

There is no conclusive evidence to prove that certain ethnic groups have larger penises than others.

  • African descent have slightly longer and wider penises

Is the length of someone’s penis same as the size of his hands or feet?

No. There is no relationship between having a bigger shoe size or larger hands and having a larger penis. However, a South Korean research has shown that the longer a man's ring finger is compared to his index finger, the longer his penis.

Can you increase the penis size?

Simple answer is no. You cannot increase the size of the penis. There are no non-surgical techniques that can permanently make a penis bigger. Please do no believe in false advertisements that claim that a pill can increase the size of a penis. Do not fall prey to such ads and do no take any such pills on your own - they can be detrimental to your health. 

Other penis enlargement products like pills, weights, and stretching devices don’t usually work in the long term. At worst they can be very dangerous to your health.

Micropenis - what is it?

A micropenis is a penis that measure less than 2.75 inches/ 7cm in length when erect. It happens if the level of the male hormone testosterone is too low when the baby is developing in the womb. Most men who are worried they have a micropenis and who see a doctor don’t actually have the condition.

Most often, it’s that the penis looks smaller than it really is because it’s hidden by fat around the genitals. In other cases, if a boy has not reached puberty just yet, his penis may appear smaller compared to his body size. This is not something to worry about, because once puberty starts, the penis will also grow in length and width.

Kaumarya ka poora daromadaar hymen ya jhilli se juda hua hai. Yaad rakhiye ki yeh bahut hee asani se toot saktee hai, jese cycling, horse riding ya khel-kud ke duran. isliye jab tak mahila khud nahi batyegi ki woh pehli baar hi sex kar rahi hain aap is baat ka pata nahi laga saktay. Waise bhi isse koi phark nahin padta, yadi pyaar karte hain toh vishwaas bhi keejiye..apnay mann se doubt clear kijiye aur yeh padhiye: http://lovematters.in/hi/resource/faqs-hymen-and-virginity

Yoni bahut choti hoti hai aur lacheele bhi. So Jald baazi mat keejiye, phele finger se try keejiye, koi lubrication use keejye… Lekin apki partner ko bahut hee relaxed rehana hai aur apko bhi is dauran bahut hee support karna hai. Poora ling ek hee baar andar jaaye yeh bilkul zaroori nahin, aur na hee iski rai dee jaati hai. iske barre mein yeh padhiye http://lovematters.in/hi/news/first-time-sex-top-five-facts Yadi sex dono pyaar ke saathiyoun ke beech ho, surakshit yaani bina koi zore zabardasti ke ho, so bahut hee achcha.

Maim mai 4 sal se hastmaithun kar raha hu meri sadi ho gai h mere sparm me kami to nahi ayegi mai first time me jaldi jhad jata hu jyada time tak tike rahane ka upay bataye 1 din me kitni bar sex karna chahiye
Hastmaithun ek safe /surakshit tareeka hai apne aap ko santusht karne ka. Isse koi nuksaan ya beemari nahi hoti. Jaldi aana koi badi baat nahi, dont worry. Sabse pehle toh apni partner ki body ko samjh lo- usko time de do. Aur yadi shareer menin uttejna adhik hogi, toh sheeghr patan hone ki sambhavna bhi adhik ho sakti hai. Aisee stithi mein partner par focus badhaye yani ki foreplay; pravesh karne se pehle bahut se alag alag kriyaien karna jo aap niche diye gaye link par jaake padh sakte hai, apne partner kee uttejna badhane ke liye, yeh sab activities karna sabse zaroori hain. Iske elava, partner ke saath sex karne se pehle ek baar hastmaithun kar sakte hai, utne samay pehle jitne mein ling mein tanaav aa jaaye. Condom ka istemaal bhi aapki iss samasya ko sujhane mein madad kar sakta hai. https://lovematters.in/hi/news/premature-ejaculation-top-five-facts Sex ka essa koi time nishchit nahi hai. Sex se koi nuksaan nahi jab tak ki wo safe sex hai, yaani poori samjhdaari dono logo ki sehmati aur safety ke sath kiya gaya sex ho. https://lovematters.in/hi/resource/safe-sex Aap iss baare mein humse vristaar mein charcha humare discussion board "just poocho" par aakar humse kar sakte hai. https://lovematters.in/hi/forum
