For long, average penile length was thought to be about 6.5 inches (16.5 centimetres). However, recent study by British researchers has brought forward new facts that claim that earlier figures where miscalculated. Research has shown that most men measure their penis when it is not erect. This measurement is completely pointless as length and girth of the male organ is affected by various temporary factors, such as temperature. According to new figures, at normal temperatures the average penis size for an adult is about 14 to 16 cm (5.5 to 6.3 inches) when erect. When it comes to penis girth, average measurement is 12 to 13 cm (4.7 to 5.1 inches). Of course, we can't deny the fact that some men have big penis, while some have smaller, just like some men have small hands and some have big. Naturally penis size varies from person to person and everyone is different. As per NHS, a penis is considered small if it measures less than 3 inches (7.6cm) when erect. Although there is no ideal penis length, most men still are unhappy with their length. A review carried out by Professor Kevan Wylie, a consultant in sexual medicine at the University of Sheffield, revealed that 45% of men would like a larger penis. Fortunately, now there are numerous ways of increasing penis length and girth. Men, who are concerned about their penis size, can add inches to the penis length and girth successfully using various penis enlargement methods available. In case, you feel that your penis size is affecting your urinary or sexual functioning, you can consult your GP to know about the treatments that can help resolve the problem.
