Penis size is a major concern to most men and a huge problem relates to the lack of good available information about what the real average size of a penis actually is. Many men that have an average size penis have developed low self esteem as a result of the belief that they are undersize as the only comparison that they can measure up against is the studs that are feature in porno images, who are hired specifically due to their huge credentials.

Before you are able to make a comparison in relation to penis size, it is necessary that you know just how to measure your penis so that you are comparing apples with apples, or should I say, cucumbers with cucumbers.

Penis size is always measured on an erect penis. A flaccid penis alters in size due to many conditions, such as temperature and mood, so therefore a flaccid penis measurement is not realiable and does not count much at all. It is fair to presume that a good erection will nearly always carry the same measurement and so you only measure the erect penis.

When you measure the penis, there are two measurements that count. The first is the length of the penis and the second is the penis girth or penis thickness. Penis length is measured by pushing the erect penis down until it is at a 90 degree angle to the body. The measurement is then taken from the base of the penis where it joins the body, to the tip of the penis.

Penis girth is the circumference of the penis. If you do not have a soft tape measure, then take a piece of string and measure the circumference of the penis with the string. This is usually done about an inch below the glans of the penis. Then measure the length of the string and you have the measurement of the girth of your penis.

A true reflection of the average penis is something that is fairly hard to come by. There are some good statistics that were quoted by Durex in a survey that they have done, but yet there is a far more comprehensive survey available that was done by SizeGenetics and which has involved nearly 780 000 men who gave their penis measurements, thereby making it one of the most comprehensive surveys ever.

Before I let you run off and find out how you measure up, what I would like to let you know is that there are solutions to every problem. Penis Size has been a cause of anxiety and stress to men for centuries and is a major contributor to low self esteem and lack of confidence.

Jelqing is a penis exercise system that started way back by the Arabians and was a system that was handed down from father son, in order that they could improve both their penis size and performance.

Since then, there have been constant developments and advances in the area of penis enlargement and there are some very professional systems like the SizeGenetics penis extender, that are medically tested and clinically proven to quickly enlarge the penis by up to 30%.

Anyway, let me not delay in showing you how you can find out how you measure up against the average penis size as determined in the survey of over 780 000 men. You will be directed to a website that has a link in the left column where you fill in your size details. An email will then be sent back to you with all details of your ratings. Also of interest at the same site, is a sign up where they will send you a new sex position every week, so as to increase your general sex knowledge and allow you to experiment a bit in the bedroom.
