Even in this supposedly enlightened age, men perpetually worry about the size of their penis. According to authoritative websites, although the vast majority of men are more than big enough to perform well as lovers, there is a widespread male belief that 'bigger would be better'. No matter how often it is stated that size does not matter and that women are not attracted to men because of the size of their penises, most men feel insecure. Such worry and feelings of insecurity can contribute to impotence and erectile dysfunction thus establishing a vicous circle and perpetuating the problem.Normally
A non-erect penis usually measures between 8.5cm and 10.5cm (3-4 inches) from tip to base. The average figure is about 9.5cm (3.75 inches). However, this kind of exact measurement is useless. Many factors can cause a temporary or permanent shrinkage of 2 inches or more, for example cold weather or going swimming, illness or surgery. Furthermore, there is great variety in normal size and size itself is not an index of virility.
Erections
Interestingly, most penises become much the same size when erect. The man whose non-erect penis is smallish will usually achieve about a 100 per cent increase in length during sexual excitement. Interestingly, the man whose non-erect penis is on the largish size will probably manage about a 75 per cent increase. This means the great majority of penises measure between 15cm and 18cm (6-7 inches) when erect, with the average figure being about 16.5cm (6.5 inches).So if a man has got a 'small' penis, there is some sort of built-in compensating factor that will bring him up to about the same size as the man who appears to be 'better endowed'.
The Vagina
The important point here is that a woman’s vagina will accommodate itself to more-or-less any length of penis. The vagina of a woman who has not given birth is only 7.5cm (3 inches) long when she is not sexually excited. The figures for women who have had children are only slightly different. Even when aroused, a woman's vagina usually extends only to a length of about 10cm (4 inches). This means that any man's penis will fill his partner’s vagina completely, unless he happens to be one of those rare men with an erect penile length of less than 4 inches. So how does the average man with an erection of 6 inches manage to insert his penis into the vagina at all. Fortunately, the vagina has the most remarkable capacity for lengthening if something is introduced into it gradually. So the exceptional man whose erect penis is 8 inches long can still make love to any woman, providing he excites her properly and introduces his organ very slowly.
