Obsession in most men, is penis size so important in the opinion of women? Many averages circulate on the size of the penis at rest and when erect, should we be concerned when the penis deviates from it? Update on the average penis size in France and around the world.

Average size of the penis, the subject is the subject of much ink. Size of the erect or resting penis, size of the penis in length or in width, before talking about numbers it is important to determine what measurement it is.

Average erect sex size

The appearance of a man’s sex is considerably modified by the simple fact of the erection. Swollen with blood, the penis stiffens and grows: it lengthens and its circumference increases. If this observation is observed in all men, the size of the erect penis varies from one man to another. On a world scale, the average size of the erect penis is between 12,8 and 18 cm in length, with an average overall figure of 13,12 cm (study carried out in 2015 on 15 penises). The average penis size in France, for its part, is estimated at 500 cm. In terms of circumference, the size of the erect penis is on average 14,5 to 7,5 cm in France.

Resting penis size

The size of the erect penis is not proportional to its size at rest. On average, the average penis size at rest is between 7 and 11 cm. Its circumference at rest is approximately 8 cm.

These averages should be viewed with caution. Indeed, the body of research aimed at determining the dimensions of the erect penis is weighted with many caveats: the studies take into account only a tiny part of the population – and perhaps the only men who are in it. comfortable with the size of their penis. On the other hand, the measurements are not carried out under the same temperature conditions, a criterion liable to falsify the results. 

Male attribute par excellence, the man’s penis is found at the center of many of his concerns. And among these: the size of his penis. Too small, not big enough, sometimes too large: in adolescence but also in adulthood, very many men are obsessed with their size. Is it really justified?

Some compare their penis size with those of pornographic actors, others rely on national averages. In any case, these elements of comparison are not necessarily revealing. And in any case, from a purely physiological point of view, it is not the size of the sex that determines the level of female pleasure. Indeed, the erogenous zones are located close to the entrance to the vagina, easily accessible regardless of the dimensions of the man’s sex. Thus the size of the penis cannot be questioned in the absence of vaginal orgasm.

If the size of the penis remains a subject of major concern, it is often because it is a mark, in the eyes of many men, of their virility. 

From an exclusively mechanical point of view, the size of the penis cannot influence a woman’s sexual pleasure insofar as the G-spot is located a few centimeters from the vagina internally. Some women, however, claim to have more pleasure with men with a bigger penis. This purely subjective feeling varies according to the individuals but does not make it possible to incriminate the size of the sex.

A penis that is too big, without going as far as genital hypertrophy, can cause pain in women during intercourse. Conversely, the woman may feel less sensations if the size of her partner’s penis is reduced.

On the advice of a doctor, certain surgical operations make it possible to alleviate the problems of the size of the penis when they prove to compromise the sexual life or the life of a couple.
