Average Penis Size Study Results

Ansell conducted a study measuring the average erect penis size among 401 males, finding an average length of 5.877 inches and an average girth of 4.972 inches. The study, which involved medical staff measurements, revealed that men tend to exaggerate their size when self-reporting. The results suggest that the differences in penis sizes are not as significant as commonly perceived.

Ansell Research
The Penis Size Survey
Ansell Education Ansell, makers of LifeStyles Condoms, has conducted research into average penis size. The survey
found that the average length of the erect penis is 5.877 inches (14.928cm), with the majority
Ansell Quality Assurance ranging between the small 5.5 inch penis size (14cm) and the large 6.3 inch penises (16cm).

The average girth is 4.972 inches (12.63cm), with the majority ranging between 4.7 inches (12cm)
and 5.1 inches (13cm). This indicates that the difference between small penis size and large is not
very big.

From March 11 to 17, 2001 a total 401 males over the age of 18 were measured, one at a time, by
qualified medical staff (protected by Ansell Medi-Touch gloves) in private tents at the Dady Rock
nightclub in Cancun, Mexico. Of the 401 men, 300 were able to gain an erection for measurement - a
success rate of only 75%.

The LifeStyles Condoms Average Penis Size Survey was designed to create a better condom, to ensure
that they are sized properly, comfortable and won't slip. Are you interested in the different size
condoms available?

Sample Size

401 male voluteers of which, only 300 were "effective" male volunteers (75%), as 101 male
volunteers (25%) could not gain an erection for measurement. At 300 effective measurements, this
study is twice the size of any previous study that uses medical staff to measure penis size. This
method is more accurate and reliable than studies where volunteers undertake self-measurement /
reporting.

Erect Penis Length

The average erect penis length was 5.877 inches (14.928cm).


Standard deviation was 0.825 inches (2.096cm) with 54% of the effective sample measuring between
5.5 inches (14cm) and 6.3 inches (16cm).

Erect Penis Girth

The average erect penis girth was 4.972 inches (12.63cm).


Standard deviation was 0.508 inches (1.29cm) or with 53.33% of the effective sample measuring
between 4.725 inches (12cm) and 5.118 inches (13cm).

Conclusion

It is fair to say that in all cases, where medical staff has measured erect penis size, the average
length has been below 6 inches and in every case where the surveys rely on self-measurement and
voluntary reporting the average leaps over six inches. Interestingly average girth remains around 5
inches in all surveys.

Using the figure of 5.877 inches from the LifeStyles Condoms Average Penis Size Survey it appears
that men on average exaggerate their penis length by a quarter to a half an inch when they are
permitted to measure and report their own size.

The results do show that the difference between small penises, average penis size and large penises is
not so great as folklore might have us believe.
