Measuring your penis is both simple and complicated for several reasons. Most likely, it is not surprising that many men wonder if their penis is normal. While 85% of women are satisfied with their partner’s penis size and proportion, men are less confident. As many as 45% of them believe that they have a small member.
Penis size – how much is it on average?
In all studies, the average length of a soft penis ranged from 7 to 10 cm, and the average circumference was 9-10 cm. On the other hand, the length of the erect penis was 12-16 cm, while the circumference was about 12 cm. One study found that there was no correlation here.
For many men, penis size is the cause of complexes and lack of self-confidence. Therefore, a visit to a sexologist may help. Visits via the halodoctor.pl portal are a safe and convenient form of consultation, without leaving your home.
How to properly measure a member?
Remember that penis size can be affected by stress, fatigue, frequency of sexual activity, and level of arousal. Therefore, it is worth taking several measurements at different times over the course of several days.
Length measurement
- Place a ruler, preferably a tape measure, at the base of your erect penis. It is about the place where it adjoins the body;
- Press as far as possible into the pubic bone until you come into contact with it. This is important, especially when you have a lot of belly fat;
- Measure from the base of the penis to the tip of the head.
Circumference (thickness) measurement
- At this stage, use a soft tape measure or a piece of string. If you choose the second item, make sure it is not stretched. Otherwise it may cause measurement errors;
- Gently wrap the tape or string once around the thickest part of the erect penis shaft;
- Note where the tape ends. The number obtained indicates the circumference of the penis. If you used a string, mark where the end meets the rest. Then stretch it and use a ruler to measure the distance from this point to the end of the string.

A few myths about penis sizes
Uncertainty and curiosity about your own penis size comes from being constantly compared with other men. Do big feet indicate the length of a birth? Do little hands signal that a man has a small penis? Do tall men have a large penis?
The short answer to these questions is no, no and… maybe. A review of the research showed that there was a poor correlation between height and penis size. However, the results ultimately did not support this hypothesis.
How does the penis change as it grows older?
Your member goes through a series of changes throughout your life. Each phase is mainly controlled by testosterone levels.
Somewhere between the ages of 9 and 15, the pituitary gland releases hormones that tell the body to start producing testosterone. The maturation process begins. The testicles, scrotum, penis, and pubic hair begin to grow. Testosterone levels peak around the age of 20.

The amount of testosterone may drop slightly between the ages of 25-40, but this change is minimal. After the age of 40, the body begins to produce more SHGB, which is bound to testosterone. It lowers its available quantity. You will then notice changes in your pubic hair, testicles and scrotum. The shape and size of the penis also change.
O! Shot, the so-called orgasm shot. It is a procedure with the use of platelet-rich plasma, which is injected into the area of the vagina and clitoris. The treatment will improve the blood supply to the intimate areas, which affects the quality of intercourse.
Sometimes older men feel that their penis is not as big as it used to be. However, the actual size probably has not changed.
In a small number of men, it may curve with age. Sometimes it affects the length, girth and function of the penis.
