Chapter Two: Is Bigger Really Better?
According to research performed in a laboratory setting, average penis size is as follows:
- Length of a flaccid (not erect) penis: 3.4 inches (8.6 cm) to 3.7 inches (9.3 cm)
- Length of an erect penis: 5.1 inches (12.9 cm) to 5.7 inches ((14.5 cm)
- Girth of erect penis: 3.5 inches (8.8 cm) to 3.9 inches (10 cm)
Have You Measured Your Penis Yet?
You may not have even measured your penis yet – so
you’re just guessing about your size. Until you measure,
you won’t truly know. Many men are shocked when they
find that their penis falls within normal range. It's
possible that yours does, too.Part of the trouble is that when you're looking down at
your penis, you're not seeing it at the same angle that
you would see another man's penis, in the locker room,
for example. It's always going to look smaller from the
angle you see it from.And if you're comparing your penis to what you might see in erotic or pornographic
material, you have to remember that camera angles, lighting and probably shaving of
pubic hair will make a penis appear larger.
Plus, the size of partners in erotic material and films is often very small and petite, and
actors in porn movies are often chosen for the fact that they do have larger than normal
penises.
So, before you berate yourself for your tiny little penis, do a reality check.
If you seriously do have a penis that falls below the average measurements, or if you are
in the average category and still think you want to increase your penis size, then by all
means, proceed.
The bottom line is that you need to feel confident about what you've got. Part of that can
be accomplished by a good dose of reality. Part will come from developing confidence in
other areas and part will happen as you see that your member is getting larger.
