Penis Size Statistics (2026): The Complete Data
Last updated 2026 · Veale et al. 2015 (BJU International)
Every key penis-size statistic in one place, from the largest clinician-measured datasets — averages, percentiles, girth, volume, by country, and what partners prefer. Figures are cited and updated for 2026.
Key statistics at a glance
- The average erect penis is 13.1 cm (5.2 in) long and 11.7 cm (4.6 in) in circumference (Veale 2015, n=15,521).
- About 90% of men have an erect length between 10.4 cm (4.1 in) and 15.9 cm (6.2 in).
- The median erect length is 13.1 cm (5.2 in) — half of men are above it, half below.
- Only about 10% of men exceed 6 inches (15.2 cm) erect; roughly 1 in 400 exceeds 7 inches (17.8 cm).
- Average erect volume is about 142 ml.
- Micropenis (under ~9.3 cm / 3.7 in) affects roughly 0.6% of men.
- Average flaccid length is 9.2 cm (3.6 in) — and flaccid size barely predicts erect size.
- Reported national averages range from about 10 cm to 17.6 cm, but are self-reported and unreliable.
Dónde encaja cada hombre
La longitud en erección sigue una curva de campana. La mayoría de los hombres se agrupa cerca del promedio — los extremos son raros. Cada barra es una porción de la población.

¿Qué cuenta como grande?
A man at 6 inches (15.2 cm) erect sits around the 90th percentile — only about 10 in 100 are longer.
Penis size percentiles (erect length)
Modelled as a normal distribution from Veale 2015 (mean 13.12 cm, SD 1.66 cm for length). Read any row as: this percentile of men measure at or below this size.
| Percentile | Meaning | Erect length | Erect girth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5th | Only 5% are smaller | 10.4 cm / 4.1 in | 9.9 cm / 3.9 in |
| 10th | Bottom 10% | 11.0 cm / 4.3 in | 10.3 cm / 4.0 in |
| 25th | Lower quarter | 12.0 cm / 4.7 in | 10.9 cm / 4.3 in |
| 50th | Median — dead average | 13.1 cm / 5.2 in | 11.7 cm / 4.6 in |
| 75th | Upper quarter | 14.2 cm / 5.6 in | 12.4 cm / 4.9 in |
| 90th | Bigger than 9 in 10 men | 15.2 cm / 6.0 in | 13.1 cm / 5.1 in |
| 95th | Top 5% | 15.9 cm / 6.2 in | 13.5 cm / 5.3 in |
| 99th | Top 1% | 17.0 cm / 6.7 in | 14.2 cm / 5.6 in |

What size do women prefer?
From Prause et al. 2015, which had women choose among 3D-printed models rather than recall numbers — a far more reliable method than surveys.
| Erect length | Erect girth | |
|---|---|---|
| One-time partner | 16.3 cm (6.4 in) | 12.7 cm (5.0 in) |
| Long-term partner | 16.0 cm (6.3 in) | 12.2 cm (4.8 in) |
