What the average penis size is and if partners actually think bigger is better

R&I – TxPAT ***

There’s a common saying that size matters, but bigger may not always be better when it comes to penises.

Although some partners may prefer larger penises, a penis that’s too big may not provide extra pleasure and can even cause pain.

Here’s what you need to know about the size of the average penis and how much size matters.

The dimensions of the average penis

There are a lot of conflicting studies on the average penis size, says Vanessa Marin, MFT, a licensed sex therapist in private practice. However, a 2014 review combined results from 20 previous studies and found that the average penis size is likely around:

  • 5.2 inches in length when erect
  • 4.6 inches in girth when erect
  • 3.6 inches in length when flaccid
  • 3.7 inches in girth when flaccid

The researchers note, however, that most of the erect measurements were done at home and weren’t supervised by researchers for accuracy.
