NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Men worried about having a small penis are usually pretty average, but have a false idea of what the normal size is, according to a report in the medical journal Urology.

This best way to reassure men with penile concerns is to educate them, the author of the report says. Men should know that a normal-sized penis is 1.6 inches or more when flaccid or 2.76 inches when stretched out.

The findings are based on a study of 92 patients who went to the andrology department at Cairo University Hospital in Egypt over a 2-year period complaining of a small-sized penis. Each subject provided a sexual history and completed a standard erectile function questionnaire.

Penile length and girth were assessed with a tape measure in both flaccid and fully stretched states. The men were asked what they considered a normal-sized penis and then were informed about the actual normal size.

Study author Dr. Rany Shamloul, at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, reports that all of the men met the thresholds for normal penis size and did not have erectile dysfunction.

However, on average, they estimated that the "normal" flaccid length should be to be 5.1 inches.

The education and measurement sessions solved the concerns of 79 men. The other 13 subjects still insisted that their member was too short, but with further psychosexual counseling, most were convinced otherwise.

"Men complaining of a short penis can be treated using the basic principles of sex education with objective methods of penile size evaluation," Shamloul concludes. "This combination can correct any previous sexual misconceptions, relieve unnecessary anxiety concerning penile size, and decrease the desire to undertake still-to-be verified lengthening procedures."

Quick. Someone post this on DU- Perhaps it will help relieve DEMS feelings of inadequacy---then again, maybe nothing can help.

Somehow, Reuters and fear of penis size go together.

I was right here, man.... right here.....

Arab men were measured. And in the typical confused way of Arabs, they misreported the results. Measurements were in centimeters, not inches.

[roylene]

Oh, so true.

I went to a friends house. When I came in he said,"Susie this is #$#%, Mike's brother."

She then ran in and looked at me from head to toe and said,"I just want to know one thing - are you hung like your brother?"

I replied,"Evidently not."

Life is not fair.

Guys- to those concerned- the only SIZE a woman is concerned about is the SIZE of your bank account. :-o)

OK so i'm not hung like a soppressata.....does that mean I should retire it and only use it for a water spout? (hopefully it's adequate enough to get it outta my zipper so I don't wet myself when I pee)

People ought to know that vaginae come in the same size range of peni, from very small to very large, the majority being in the range that most men are.

For some reason the public information distributors never mention that.

[Millee]

"However, on average, they estimated that the "normal" flaccid length should be to be 5.1 inches."

Which is it.....1.6 or 5.1? Men love to measure there equipment. The only time you hear about a comparable measurement for ladies is when they are dilated.

According to Paula and Monica, here is the poster boy of this article:

Oh man, never measure. Just guesstimate and round to the highest number.

In answer to your question, the lower number is considered normal- the higher number is what THE PATIENTS THOUGHT
normal was.
