More Info


When it comes to penis size, it's important to understand that there is a wide range of what is considered "normal." According to various studies, the average erect penis size typically falls between 12.9 cm (5.1 inches) and 15 cm (5.9 inches) in length. Therefore, a size of 10.5 cm (approximately 4.1 inches) when erect is below the average range. However, it's crucial to note that penis size can vary significantly among individuals, and many factors can influence this, including genetics and hormonal levels.

In terms of girth, the average circumference of an erect penis is about 11.5 cm (4.5 inches). Your reported girth of 3.9 inches (approximately 9.9 cm) is also below the average but still within a normal range. It's essential to remember that penis size does not determine sexual function, pleasure, or the ability to engage in satisfying sexual relationships. Many factors contribute to sexual satisfaction, including emotional connection, communication, and technique.

Moreover, societal perceptions of penis size can often be exaggerated or influenced by media portrayals, leading to unnecessary anxiety or insecurity among individuals. It's important to focus on overall health and well-being rather than fixating on size. If you have concerns about your penis size or any related issues, it may be beneficial to speak with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and reassurance.

In summary, while a 10.5 cm erect penis size is below the average range, it is still within the spectrum of normal sizes. The most important aspect of sexual health is not the size of the penis but rather the quality of the sexual experience and the relationship with your partner. If you have further concerns or questions about sexual health, consider consulting a urologist or a healthcare provider specializing in sexual health for more tailored guidance.
