World Countries Ranked by Penis Size

Before we begin exploring penis sizes around the world, let’s start with a classic penis joke. Nevermind, it’s too long! Almost every man wonders how he measures up below the belt, although men tend to make a bigger deal out of it than women do. In fact, research finds that size is not the most important sexual factor for the majority of people. A 2006 survey of 52,031 heterosexual males and females by the University of California Psychology Department found that 84% of females were satisfied with their partner’s penis size and only 14% wanted it to be bigger. In that same study, 45% of men said they wanted a larger penis. So what is the average penis size? A 2020 review of research on penis size found that the average length of a penis while erect is between 5.1 inches to 5.5 inches. Researchers believe that the typical penis size falls closer to the lower end of that range when factoring in for volunteer bias. Does penis size vary around the world? Data suggests it does! The team at TooTimid.com plunged into penis size statistics from across the globe to create the ultimate visualization of average penis size by country. Let’s get the ball rolling!

Overall, South America has the longest average penis length. The average size of an erect penis in South America is 6.05 inches. For visualization, the average hot dog is 6 inches long. Here is an intriguing conundrum; while the average penis length in South America is longer than North America while erect, is it slightly smaller (3.81 inches) while flaccid.

The country with the thickest penises in the world both flaccid and erect is France with an average erect circumference of 5.37 inches and flaccid circumference of 4.29 inches. Now that’s a “baguette”! Scandinavian countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Norway also have among the thickest penises on average in the world. Is that part of why they are so happy? 

What is the average penis length for Asians?

The average penis size in Asia is 4.80 inches when erect and 3.56 inches when flaccid. Now let’s breakdown the average penis size of a few major countries in Asia. The average penis length in Japan when erect is 4.96 inches. That is about the size of a standard soda can. The average penis size in China when erect is 5.08 inches, just slightly less than India’s average penis length of 5.08 inches. The average penis size in South Korea is 4.25 inches, which exceeds the 3.78 inch length of its contentious neighbor, North Korea. Thailand is the country with the shortest average penis length at 3.71 inches erect and 2.72 inches flaccid. In fact, the top 10 countries with the smallest average penis size are in Asia.

Australians also have the 6th largest erect penis circumference in the world at 5.20 inches. Australia is known for its big snakes, after all!However, New Zealand ranks higher in 16th place with an average erect length of 6.22 inches. 

What determines penis size? 

According to WebMD, genetics play the biggest role in penis size. Just as genetics determine physical factors such as eye color, hair color, and height, they also contribute to the length and girth of the penis. There are other more minor factors that influence penis size, including hormonal issues during pregnancy, nutrition during pregnancy and puberty, and chemical exposures. Environmental chemicals including pesticides, fertilizers, plasticizers, and phthalates have been shown to act as endocrine disruptors during fetal development, which may inhibit proper production of hormones. Is there a correlation between foot size and penis size? No, that is a myth! 

When does the penis fully develop? The penis grows most during puberty, which can start between 9 and 15 years old. Puberty typically ends 4 years after it begins, so the penis may reach full size between 13 and 19.
