Today, researchers answered an age-old question: not “does size matter?”, but “am I normal”? An analysis of what is considered to be the average penis size has been published in the British Journal of Urology International. Pulling together 17 studies involving up to 15,521 males, we now know that 13.12cm (5.16 inches) in length is average for an erect penis. The figure is 9.16cm (3.6 inches) when flaccid.
Mankind has always been fixated with penises. Caves around the world are adorned with phalluses and phallic symbols tens of thousands of years old. Often, those drawings or ancient artefacts feature representations that would make even Dirk Diggler proud. The penis is a source of power and shame. Hotshot financial traders are known as “big swinging dicks” and the assertion of male domination is often couched in phallic terms: who’s got the biggest dick? Who’s going to slap it out on the table? The measuring never really stops and is a part of the anxiety. Am I big enough? What is big enough?
