Erect penis length, methods of measuring penis length

After sexual desire appears, a man's penis will generally become erect, and the length of the penis after erection often affects the quality of sexual life. So, what is the length of the penis when it is erect?

Erect penis length:

The penis of a person has many differences, just like height, weight, and size of facial features. It varies in length and thickness. Shi Chengli of China once measured the penis size of 1,412 healthy young Chinese men and the erect penis length of 126 healthy men. The results showed that the longest penis was 14.5 cm in normal state, the shortest was 4 cm, and the average was 8.375 cm; the circumference was 12 cm at most, 4.5 cm at least, and the average was 8.3 cm. The longest penis was 16 cm at most, the shortest was 9 cm, and the average was 12 cm when erect; the circumference was 14 cm at most, 8 cm at least, and the average was 10.75 cm when erect.

The length of the penis of a normal adult male is: the normal length range is 4.9-8.6 cm, the average is 6.55 cm, the longest is 10.6 cm, and the shortest is 3.7 cm. The average length of the penis of male college students aged 16-40 was measured, and the average circumference was 8.17 cm; the average length of the penis was 13.34 cm, which is similar to the calculated erection length of 13.08 cm, so the length of the penis can represent the length after erection. It can be seen that there are certain differences in the measurement results of different authors, and the results are also affected by region, ethnicity, etc.

In addition, the length of the penis of the same person is not constant under normal conditions. For example, tension, coldness or severe fatigue can shorten the penis. In addition, the measurement methods themselves vary greatly, so it is difficult to judge whether the penis is normal simply by length. Therefore, the above figures can only be used as a reference. Do not force yourself to compare your length. Clinicians are never willing to judge whether it is normal based on the length of the penis. As long as you can have normal sexual intercourse and complete the task of having children, it is normal. Otherwise, this family would have been eliminated long ago.

Erect penis length measurement method:

Methods commonly used by doctors: Measurement of non-erect penis length: At room temperature of 18°C, stand upright, lift the penis to 90° with the body, and use a ruler to measure the length from the pubic symphysis above the penis to the top of the glans penis.

Measurement of erect penis length: Stand upright, pinch the glans penis with your hands and pull it forward until it can no longer be extended. Use a ruler to measure the length from the pubic joint to the glans penis (the length after pulling is basically the same as the length when erect). It is normal if it is greater than or equal to 8 cm. It is worth reminding that some men have more abdominal fat due to obesity, so part of the penis is buried in the fat, making the penis look smaller. When measuring, you can push the lower abdominal fat with your hands. However, men with smaller penises do not need to worry about it. As long as the method of making love is proper, it will not affect their sex life.
