How Long is the Average Penis Size?

Determining the average penis size for a group of males, let alone for men around the world, is more complicated than you might imagine. Unfortunately most information about average penis size comes from popular culture and not science. Let's start by considering some figures from science.

The results from three studies of penis size where the measurements were taken in a laboratory setting give the following ranges:

* Average penis length (flaccid/not erect): from 3.4 inches to 3.7 inches (8.6 cm to 9.3 cm)
* Average penis length (erect): from 5.1 inches to 5.7 inches (12.9 cm to 14.5 cm)
* Average penis girth (circumference when erect): from 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches (8.8 cm to 10 cm)

These numbers are obviously very different from the sizes we hear (and see) in adult movies, and even the kinds of numbers you read on line. Why such a difference?

Many, possibly most, statistics you read are not from legitimate research, but from marketing companies who want you to feel bad about your penis size (so you’ll buy their product).
Important facts about reports of average penis size

* There is much greater variation in size of flaccid (non-erect) penises than of penises when they are erect. A soft penis that looks large may be roughly the same size when erect as a soft penis that looks smaller.
* Because most men see other penises when they are not erect it can appear as if there is a big difference, and men may be likely to assume their erect penis is much smaller when compared to others.
* Male porn stars are often chosen specifically because they have larger than average penises. Also, there are a variety of techniques used to make penises look bigger on camera. Lighting, camera angle, and even shaving of pubic hair can all make things look bigger on camera.

Problems with research on average penis size

Determining what the average penis size is seems like it shouldn’t be that complicated. It’s a physical body part, you measure it, and repeat hundreds of thousands of times around the world, then take an average. Unfortunately, arriving at an accurate idea of what is an average penis size, is more complicated. Some of the problems with figuring out average penis size include:

* Is penis size considered to be the length, the girth, or both?
* When measuring penis length, where do you start?
* Is penis girth measured at the base of the penis, at the glans (head), or around the shaft?
* Are the people measured in these studies representative of the general population?
* Do all studies include measurements taken by others, or self-reported measurements (which are historically bigger than measurements reported by others)?

Different studies answer these questions differently, which makes arriving at a single average penis size almost impossible. Also, many researchers believe that those who are willing to participate in a study about penis size may have larger than average penises, which would also skew the results.

5. MyPleasure’s Violet Rapture Customer Review: "Wow! I bought this when the vibrator I've had and loved for years broke, and I am so impressed!

Watermelon, Cure For Erectile Dysfunction?

That juicy slice of watermelon may be more than just delicious, it could be the answer to your problems with erectile dysfunction, or ED. The idea of eating watermelons for erectile dysfunction treatment might sound absurd but it is a reality.
Researchers at Texas A&M University recently found that watermelon is rich with an amino acid called citrulline, which dilates and relaxes the blood vessels like Viagra and other drugs used to treat ED. Previously, scientists believed that most of the citrulline in watermelon was in the rind but new studies have proven otherwise.

So what can eating watermelons do for erectile dysfunction and how does it work? When citrulline is consumed, it converts to the amino acid arginine. This in turn increases the levels of nitric oxide in the blood. Nitric oxide helps to dilate and relax the blood vessels.


Watermelons for Erectile Dysfunction - Still Too Early to Say


There are still plenty of question marks surrounding the consumption of watermelons for erectile dysfunction treatment. Scientists still aren't sure how much watermelon one would need to consume in order to be effective in treating erectile dysfunction. Scientists do know that a four ounce serving of watermelon contains 150mg of citrulline but in order to achieve Viagra-like effects no one knows how much citrulline needs to be consumed.

Some respected members of the medical community scoff at the idea of eating watermelons for erectile dysfunction treatment. According to them, the vast majority of men who suffer from ED are not deficient in arginine and nothing proves that eating watermelons rich in citrulline will improve penile dysfunction.

Bhimu Patil, the director of the lab that conducted the studies, says that regular watermelon consumption may prevent ED. Another benefit of regular watermelon consumption is that it can lower your blood pressure.

Perhaps it is premature to say that watermelon is effective for erectile dysfunction treatment but it doesn't hurt to try either way. Watermelon is rich in potassium, lycopene, and beta-carotene and it is low in calories. Don't refrigerate your watermelon before cutting it to keep nutrients from diminishing.

Even if consuming watermelon for erectile dysfunction treatment may not be effective, why not see for yourself? There is no risk involved and it can actually benefit your health in other ways. So what are you waiting for? This summer, try eating watermelons or drinking watermelon juice and see what it may do for your sex life.
