Men's penises can vary greatly in size and shape without affecting their function or pleasure. This is true for both length and width. The average length of an erect human male organ is between 4 inches and 6 inches.
Some men have larger or smaller organs than this range.
Some men may have more girth at one point on their shaft than another, creating unique shapes when flaccid or erect. These variations are entirely normal and do not impact how well someone can perform in bed or experience physical sensations during sex. Penile appearance can be caused by genetics, age, hormones, weight, race/ethnicity, and lifestyle factors like smoking and drinking alcohol. Measurements taken from end to tip (head to base) should be taken carefully using a tape measure that excludes pubic hair and does not compress the shaft too tightly. Men who feel self-conscious about their genitals can explore masturbation techniques, partnered activities, and other ways to increase comfort and pleasure during sexual experiences.
The following sentence may be used as an introduction if desired: Men's bodies come in many different sizes and shapes.
Some people have larger hands than others. Just as hand size varies among humans, so do penis lengths and widths. The size of a person's organ does not indicate their overall health, virility, or performance in bed.
