Research shows that, on average, the world’s penis is much smaller than most men would like, between 5 inches and 5 inches.
A new survey released last week shows that Brazilian penises are the twentieth largest in the world. Can you trust the result? More: does this measure really matter?
The new penis size survey conducted by the World Population Review organization shows that, on average, the world’s penis is much smaller than most men would like, somewhere between 12.9cm and 13.9cm , almost the size of a ballpoint pen.
Did you find it too little? So it is! The record holder would be Sudan, with 17.95 cm, followed by the Democratic Republic of Congo, with 17.93 cm, and Ecuador, with 17.59 cm. At the other extreme, the lowest rates would be found in Thailand, North Korea and Cambodia, in the range between 9.46 cm and 9.84 cm.
Brazil is in 20th place in this “phallic ranking”, with 15.7 cm. Some data from previous research revealed that our size would be close to 13.5 cm, therefore closer to the world averages.
But can we trust the measurements?
For researchers, the numbers are unreliable because the measurement techniques vary from study to study and, moreover, most of them are based on men’s self-reports and not on measurements carried out in a controlled manner in the laboratory. And because we live in a culture that tends to overestimate the dimension of “whose saying,” men can “distort” results to boast an advantage or increase their self-esteem.
The report also confirms several observations from previous research. First, there is no within-body predictor of limb size. In other words, anyone who imagines that they can predict the size of someone’s penis based on their height, the size of their hands, their feet or their nose will not be right.
Furthermore, the issue of race also appears to have little impact on organ size. Some older studies even suggested that the black population had, on average, larger penises than the white population, who, in turn, had larger penis sizes than the Eastern population. None of this has been proven now.
It is possible that environmental factors (in the region where the person was born) or hormonal factors could have some kind of influence on the final size of the penis, but this involvement is far from a consensus.

Another conclusion of the research, also not entirely new, is that women tend to care much less about the size of their penis than men. Moral of the story: The prevalent myth that masculinity or sexual performance is based on penis size is a topic that occupies far more male than female concerns and concerns.
In my experience of over 30 years answering questions from young people and adults about sex, I am still impressed by the number of questions that come in, week after week, about penis size, insecurity, emotional impact and self-esteem that this entails. the question still arises in men.
Perhaps the greatest relevance of this study is precisely that of demystifying the issue of penis size for a sexist and phallocentric culture, revealing that a few centimeters more or less are a mere detail in the vastness of emotions and experiences that involve our emotional life and sexual. .
