When it comes to small penises, we have both good news and bad news. The good news is that your penis might not be as small as you think. The bad news is, well, it might actually be that small. But after hearing the bad news, there are even more good news (we'll talk about it later).

Believing that your penis is small can be a very subjective issue. Moreover, if you start to lose confidence in your sexual abilities and your ability to satisfy your partner, this can also become a problem, as many people still associate penis size with masculinity. In this article, we hope to lift the veil of mystery surrounding these underlying misconceptions and help you focus on the more important and pleasurable aspects of having a penis.

What is considered as "small"?

So you say your penis is small? How do you know that? Against whom were you comparing it? Against which porn star? They might have had plastic surgery to show off, and such comparisons are not fair, are they? Recently, there has been a real study on the size of penises worldwide. Here are the average sizes (of humans) based on this study:

The global average length of an erect penis is 13.9 centimeters (5.47 inches).

The average length of a penis in a flaccid state worldwide is 9.52 centimeters (3.75 inches).

When erect, the average circumference of a penis is 11.83 centimeters (4.66 inches).

The average circumference of a flaccid penis worldwide is 9.38 centimeters (3.70 inches).

For us Americans and our northern and southern neighbors, here are the average values we measured:

State Length at rest Length during erection

United States: 9.6 centimeters (3.8 inches) 14.15 centimeters (5.6 inches)

Canada: 9.5 centimeters (3.74 inches) 13.92 centimeters (5.5 inches)

Mexico: 9.6 centimeters (3.8 inches) 14.09 centimeters (5.55 inches)

If you take out a measuring tape and measure it, comparing the results, you might find that your previous concerns were unnecessary. Even if you are slightly shorter, you should know that in nature, the size of the penis can be closely related to survival. In the wild, the scarcity of mating partners sometimes leads to an increase in the size of the penis, which reflects a bigger issue - one that we humans hope will never be faced again. Always look on the bright side!

Bigger is not always better.

Has anyone ever said something like this: "Wow, that guy is hanging there like a gorilla!"

Have you ever seen how big the penis of a gorilla is? It's not that big. You might think that a huge and muscular gorilla's penis should be as big as a rocket. But in reality, it's not like that. Just as our penises are not the largest in the animal kingdom, the penises of dominant male gorillas are also relatively small. Some people believe this is because they have less competition for mates. Of course, in the courtship rituals of peacocks, size and grandeur are indeed crucial, but that's the domain of birds. Perhaps in the society of gorillas, the dominant "alpha" will get all the females, so they don't need the size of the penis.

Similarly, although most human societies no longer have the "harem" system, our competition in mating is not as intense as that of some animals (though I'm sure some people would disagree). But if you accept this theory, then perhaps this is the reason why human penises are smaller than those of many animals. We win the favor of our partners through other means. Take a look at the TV shows in nature, where their colorful mating rituals are certainly interesting. But as humans, try to display all your charm in public and see how long it takes for the police to come and arrest you!
