Penis size is a topic that attracts attention worldwide — and understandably, many men want to know how they compare globally. At Moorgate Andrology, we approach this subject scientifically and respectfully, providing context for the data and exploring what it means for men considering penis enlargement surgery or fillers.
Researchers measure penis size in two main ways:
Flaccid length and girth
Erect length and girth
Data comes from clinical studies, self-reported surveys, and peer-reviewed research. While slight variations exist due to measurement methods, the global averages provide useful insight.
Infographic: Average Penis Size by Country (As Shown Above)
Here’s a simplified snapshot of average erect penis length by region:
| Region | Average Length (Erect) |
|---|---|
| Africa | 16.1 cm (6.34 in) |
| Europe | 14.7 cm (5.79 in) |
| North America | 13.9 cm (5.47 in) |
| South America | 14.7 cm (5.79 in) |
| Asia | 13.4 cm (5.28 in) |
| Australia | 14.0 cm (5.51 in) |
Note: These figures are averages — individual variation is normal, and “average” does not reflect medical concerns.
Several factors influence size:
Genetics
Hormonal levels during development
Overall health and nutrition
Measurement methods
It’s important to remember that size alone rarely determines sexual satisfaction or fertility.
Some men feel concerned about their size relative to global averages. This is where medical guidance becomes important.
Men with micropenis or those significantly below average may consider penis enlargement surgery or penis fillers.
Concerns about sexual function are addressed first — erectile dysfunction, not just size, often has a bigger impact on sexual satisfaction.

Men considering treatment often ask: “Will this really make a difference?”
The answer is nuanced:
Surgery can add length or girth, with permanent results when performed by an experienced urologist.
Fillers offer a less invasive option for moderate girth enhancement.
Psychological confidence often improves alongside physical changes.
1. Does size affect sexual performance?
Not necessarily — function, stamina, and communication matter far more than raw measurements.
2. Can men naturally increase size?
Natural growth stops after puberty. Treatments like surgery or fillers are the medically reliable options for adults.
3. Are averages the same worldwide?
No — regional averages differ slightly, but individual variation is much larger than the differences between countries.
4. Should I compare myself to the average?
Only as a reference. Medical advice should focus on function, health, and personal goals, not just numbers.
Understanding global averages can provide context, but size alone is rarely the main factor in sexual satisfaction.
For men seeking changes, Moorgate Andrology offers safe, clinically proven options like penis enlargement surgery and fillers — always guided by expert urologists.
