The Truth About Normal Penis Size

I'm often asked if penis size matters to gay men. I get as many answers as gay men I ask. Know the truth about average or normal penis size and get other penis enhancement facts.

Penis Size:
  • The average penis is five to seven inches (127 to 178 mm)long when erect (measured from the tip of the penis head to the abdomen).
  • The average circumference of a penis is near 5 inches or 127 mm around.
  • Don't believe the hype.
    There isn't a single person on this planet that hasn't heard general statements relating penis size to race and ethnicity. Though in some cases the generalizations are true, they are merely stereotypes. There are men in all ethnic groups that negate such generalizations. In other words, don't judge a book by its cover! You may be disappointed with the results or pleasantly surprised.

Judging True Penis Size:

You can't judge the true size of a penis while it is flaccid or not erect. Sometimes guys with relatively small flaccid penises grow to a larger size when erect, while their larger counterparts don't show as much growth when aroused. Thus the terms, grower and shower.
