What Should You Know About Penis Size

It is considered that a normal penis size of erected penis is from 12 to 18 cm, and in relaxed state average penis size is 7,5 - 10,5 cm। The width of penis in erected state is 3 - 3,5 cm.

Penis of less than 12 cm in erected state is considered small, penis of less 8-10 cm is considered micro penis. According to bookish data, the size of the most big penis is 25 - 30 cm having 15-18 cm in diameter. Naturally, there is a big doubt about the ability of proper use of such penis.

In relaxed state, penis size is defined by degree of filling with blood of cavernous bodies. Cavernous bodies are a kind of spongy lumps consisting of lots of vessels and cavernas, which are able to respond to activity of the active substances existing in blood and also they respond to influence on temperature factors. So when air temperature lowers, then occurs vessel constriction of penis which leads to lowering of blood admission into cavernous bodies and lowering of penis size. When temperature of air rises then occurs reverse reaction.

Vessel constrictions and lowering of penis size occurs when adrenaline is ejected in blood as a reply to fright and other stress situation. That is why occurs such thing as penis, big during erection, is lowered multiply and is decreased at rest. The size of erected penis is limited by fibrous tunic – a texture consisting of strong connective tissue which limits traction of penis during erection.

It is considered today that level of testosterone during sexual development plays main role in penis development by defining its size. Small sizes of penis (less than 8-10cm) can indirectly indicate serious endocrine disorders connected with low production of testosterone. Quite great dispersion of measures of penis normal size (12 cm and 18 cm) can be result of individual differences in anatomy of inguinal region.

There is an opinion that men with normal level of testosterone and normal development of cavernous bodies owing to individual differences have frank latent part of cavernous bodies which are responsible for their attachment to pubic bones and also for penis fixation.

However, for most men most important thing is their own ideas about normal penis size which are formed by personal sexual experience or by the wish to be better than others. Here overall average data as a rule is not taken into consideration.

How to measure penis length?
Penis should be measured with a ruler at room temperature. Penis is measured in erected state on its backside (dorsal surface) starting from pubis till the end of penis head. This is the best way of measure because it reflects functional penis length. Such factors as concretion of subcutaneous fat in pubis region and bad erection can influence on functional penis length making it smaller.
