Scientific Penis Size Study

Hey, I was reading around the internet when I found this, and I thought I would Share it with you guys. The parenthesis part where the results are is what I added.

Objective: The knowledge of normal variations in the size of male external genitalia is of considerable interest to several disciplines. We carried out an extensive study in young Italian males to provide estimates of normal variations of penile dimensions.

Methods: The penile length in flaccid and stretched states and the penile circumference were measured in a random group of 3,300 young men aged 17-19 years and free from endocrine disorders and from congenital or acquired abnormalities of the penis. In a random sample of 325 subjects of the same set of people, penile length and circumference were also correlated with weight and height. Statistical analysis was performed with the Sperman test, because our data were not normally distributed as tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (p<0.01).

Results: The median values of penile dimensions recorded in the present study are flaccid length 9.0 cm (~3.5”), flaccid circumference, at the middle of the shaft, 10.0 cm (~4”), and stretched length 12.5 cm (~5”). We also observed that the penile dimensions are highly correlated with height and weight.

Conclusions: Since penile length and circumference correlate with anthropometric parameters such as weight and height, we suggest to consider themselves as two bodily measures which display a wide extent of normal variability along the general population.

Since they mention weight it sounds like the 5” is to the pat pad and not bone pressed.

Yes. It is not BP I read about this survey on another site. They were from the Italian army.

Not sure why they exclude people with disorders, they are part of the population. It is like trying to find the average weight of people but leaving out people with eating disorders and glandular problems.

I thought you would mention the erect length and girth, If you know, please add this info as I would like to set my goals soon! :D

I don’t think they asked the guys to get erect for the survey but I’d say the flaccid stretched measurement is normally 0”- 0.25” above erect length which gives you a good idea.

This NBP measurement ties in nicely with size surveys carried out by condom manufacturers and if the survey was done on Italian soldiers, you’d expect that there fat pad would be quite low (0.5 - 1”).

Therefore, it would show an average bone pressed erect length to be about 5.5” - 5.75”.
