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.

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.

Pls replay me Aunty g kya apne se jyada age ki ladki ke sath sex karne se koi probpum to nhi.
Bete yeh jo baat hai na ki shaadi Ya ya rishtey ke liye ladki age mein ladke se kam hona bohot zaruri hai yeh kewal samaj ke dwara banya gaya niyam hai. yadi kisi relation mein pyaar, vishwas aur respect hai na toh age koi maine nahi rakhti. Aur na hi age ke jyada hone se sexual relation par koi fark padta hai. Beshak, dono partener baalig hone chhaiye, aur sex ka matlab aur uski zimmedari uthaane ke liye Vyask ya mature hone chahiye.

Relax! Aur samajhiye Yadi dono partners ki poori sehmati hai issey karney may to kar saktay hai lekin , condom use karein, for sure. isse safety bhi rahegee, safai bhi aur sex mein aasaani bhi. http://lovematters.in/hi/resource/anal-sex
Suniye aisee stithi mein, partner par focus badhana, foreplay , yaani bête ki pravesh karne se pehle bahut se alag alag kriyaein karna , jinse dono ko aanand mile, apne partner kee uttejna badhana, yeh sab activitys sabse zaroori hain. iske ilava, partner ke saath sex karne se pehle, ek baar hast maithun kar saktey hain, utne samay pehele jitne mein ling mein tanaav aa jaaye. Condom ka istemaal bhi jaldi discharge mein help karta hai. http://lovematters.in/hi/news/premature-ejaculation-top-five-facts
Auntyji, Mega penis bahut kadak hain. Kabhi kabhi merit wife Ke andar jata hain to vo to padati hain.please upay batayen.
Yes yoni bahut choti hoti hai aur lacheele bhi so yadi ahista ahaista keey ajaaye toh yahan ling enter kar sakta hai. Lekin apki partner ko bahut hee relaxed rehana hai aur apko bhi aapko bahut hee support karn ahai is dauran. Poora ling ek hee baar andar jaaye yeh zaroori nahin, iske barre mein yeh padho 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.
Beta jaldi hone se koi baat nahin, dont worry. So sabse pehle toh apni partner ki body ko samjh lo- usko time de do. Aur yadi shareer menin uttejna adhik hogi, sex ki bhavna zyada hogi toh sheeghr patan hone ki sambhavna bhi adhik hee hogee. aisee stithi mein, partner par focus badhana, foreplay , yaani bête ki pravesh karne se pehle bahut se alag alag kriyaein karna , jinse dono ko aanand mile, apne partner kee uttejna badhana, yeh sab activitys sabse zaroori hain. iske ilava, partner ke saath sex karne se pehle, ek baar hast maithun kar saktey hain, utne samay pehele jitne mein ling mein tanaav aa jaaye.
