There are several factors that determine penis size, and while some of the top web searches right now are “penis size and country”, or variations thereof, what people may be searching for is evidence that different races have larger penises than others.
Do certain races of men have larger penises?
It’s unknown exactly where this claim originated, but it is a myth. A study published in 2014 revealed that while groups of men measured in Africa, for example, were slightly larger, due to factors like insufficient sample size, there was no conclusive evidence to show differences in average penis size from race to race.
So, it could be possible that one or multiple races, on average, have bigger penises than others, but we don’t know for sure. The study’s author found that for this question to be answered, measurements have to be taken methodically — studies have to be conducted on a large-enough population — and variables that may influence penis size, such as height, must be constant. Also, those who are measuring have to be consistent in their approaches. So far, such a thorough study in this area hasn’t been undertaken.
How big is big enough?
Are you out of luck if you don’t have a big penis? In a study conducted in 2015, 75 female participants were asked what size of penis they prefer. They were given 3D-printed models representing 33 different dimensions ranging in size from 6-8.5 in (10-21.6 cm) long to 2.5-7 in (5-17.8 cm) in circumference.
Interestingly, the subjects’ preferred size depended slightly on whether the penis belonged to a long-term sex partner or a one-night stand. For long-term partners, those surveyed chose a penis length of 6.3 in, or 16 cm, and a girth of 4.8 in, or 12.2 cm. For one-time sex partners, they chose a slightly larger penis: 6.4 in, or 16.3 cm, and a circumference of 5 in, or 12.7 cm.
So, if you’re in the ballpark of 5.3 to 6 inches, you’re not only statistically average, but you fall into an acceptable range of what females prefer.
