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.

Penis sizes: No rocket science!

Here’s a short, animated video about penis shapes and sizes. It busts some harmful myths and unravels some important facts.

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.

However, some organisations such World Health Organization’s have reported slight ethnic differences in average erect penis size that men of:

  • African descent have slightly longer and wider penises
  • European descent have medium-sized penises
  • Asian descent have slightly narrower and shorter 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.

Mera ling ek baar free hone ke baad jldi se dubara teeyar nhi hota h or ling me bhut dhilapan aa jata or jldi free bhi ho jata is ka kya karan h or kya upchar h plz meri madd kro
Arre bete, ling ko apne aam stithi pe bhi to waapis aana hai na? Isme lagbhag 45 mins se 1 hour lag sakta hai, ya zyada ya kum. Yeh bohot common hain, so don't worry! Aur yadi shareer menin uttejna adhik hogi, sex ki bhavna zyada hogi toh shighrpatan hone ki sambhavna bhi adhik ho sakti hai. Aisee stithi mein, partner par focus badhana, foreplay , pravesh karne se pehle bahut se alag alag kriyaein karna , jinse dono ko aanand mile, apne partner kee uttejna badhana, yeh sab activities sabse zaroori hain. Iske ilava, partner ke saath sex karne se pehle, ek baar hastmaithun kar saktey hain, utne samay pehele jitne mein ling mein tanaav aa jaaye. Condom ka istemaal bhi jaldi discharge kum karne mein madadgaar saabit ho sakta hai.
