Is my penis normal? Size, shape, firmness, and curvature

Your penis most likely falls within the “normal” range of size, girth, and shape. The average erect penis length is just over five inches, and up to 90% of penises fall within an inch of the average size. One study found that 85% of women were satisfied with their partner’s penis, so you probably have nothing to worry about.

Video How to Know If Your Penis is Normal | Psychology of Sex

The idea of “normal” haunts a lot of men—especially when it comes to their penis. The fear that they’re not normal prevents a lot of guys from speaking to their partners or even their healthcare provider about completely treatable or even preventable health issues like erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation. 

We’re here to tell you that you probably have a perfectly normal penis—by definition, most men do. 

But since you’re still reading, we can see you want numbers. So here’s a full rundown of what qualifies as a “normal” penis length, girth, curvature, and even normal firmness and frequency of erections.

Do I have a normal penis?

The short answer: Yes. The vast majority of men fall well within “normal ranges” for penis length, girth, curvature, and firmness. But even if you don’t, your penis size doesn’t have to stop you from having an active and rewarding sex life. 

What does a normal penis look like?

Statistically speaking, you have a normal penis. Huzzah! No, really. Your penis is most likely within the normal range. A 2015 study of over 15,521 men found that the average length of an erect penis is 5.16 inches (13.12 cm). The average circumference (aka “girth”) is 3.66 inches (9.31 cm) (Veale, 2015). 

As with any bell curve, there are people who stand at the extremes on both ends, but know that no matter where you fall on the spectrum, everyone is different, and that’s not a bad thing. 

While most of what we once thought we knew about penis size is thanks to the work of pioneering sexologist Alfred Kinsey of the Kinsey Institute, his findings may have planted some pretty twisted standards into our psyche. His questionable studies established the average penis size as landing over six inches when hard. But more carefully designed studies later knocked over an inch off that measurement (King, 2020). And even though a lot of myths and stereotypes link penis size to race, hand size, and even shoe size, there just aren’t enough credible studies to back up any of these claims.

Does penis size really matter?

However those numbers make you feel, it’s important to note that there are a lot of other factors that contribute to being “good at sex” than just penis size.

A 2006 study published by the American Psychological Association asked a simple question: Does size matter? They found that, while only 55% of men felt “satisfied” with the size of their penis, a whopping 85% of women were satisfied with their partner’s penis (Lever, 2006). And confidence can go a long way. Another study from the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that men who were satisfied with their penis size and shape were 10% more likely to be sexually active (Gaither, 2016).

In other words, if you’re feeling self-conscious about the size of your penis, you probably don’t need to be. Confidence is sexy, so cut yourself some slack when it comes to your penis. 

 

Sexual performance anxiety: causes, symptoms, and how to overcome

Sexual and reproductive health Sep 16, 2021 5 min read

If you’re really concerned with the size of your penis, grooming can help your penis look bigger. You can also try a number of specific sexual positions—like doggy style and “side saddle”—that men with smaller penises can use to achieve maximum penetration with their partner. And remember, penetration isn’t even the most reliable way for your partner to have an orgasm.

In all likelihood, you’re probably the only person on Earth that cares about the size of your penis—even if your penis comes in on the “small” side.

Are curved penises normal?

Some penises curve left, others right. Still, others curve up or down, and some are straight as an arrow. It’s totally normal for your penis to have even a moderate curve. And it turns out, a curved penis might even be a sexual advantage.

Video Research Finally Tells Us The Average Penis Size

According to Dr. Michael Reitano, MD, a curved penis can even be a sexual advantage for some positions, depending on your partner. A curved penis may be more helpful for direct stimulation to the g-spot and prostate than a straight shaft.

“A slightly curved penis allows it to move efficiently in and out of the vagina while focusing the tip of the penis on the sensitive area of the front wall, where the clitoris is,” says Reitano.

For biological males having receptive sex, a curved penis can stimulate the prostate, which can be highly pleasurable.

However, other more extreme penis curvatures can make sex painful or even dangerous.

Peyronie’s disease

If your penis bends at more than a 30° angle, you should talk with your healthcare provider. That’s a characteristic of severe Peyronie’s disease (the buildup of fibrous penile scar tissue), which can increase your chances of injuring or even breaking your penis. Luckily, there are treatments available. A healthcare provider can treat certain cases of penis curvature with an injectable medication known as Xiaflex. Combination treatment with vitamin E and a drug called colchicine is also an option.

However, the degree of curvature isn’t the only thing to worry about. Progression of the curve of the penis and pain, discomfort, and urinary symptoms (like difficulty peeing or pain when peeing) are important factors. Any pain during sex or urination—as well as any discomfort with an erection—is a reason to make an appointment with a urologist as soon as possible

What’s a normal erect penis?

Erectile dysfunction is about more than just the ability to get hard, although that’s certainly a big part of it. 

Healthcare providers use the Erectile Hardness Scale or the IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) to help get a sense of how one defines “erect.” These assessment tools can help a provider understand if you’re a candidate for treatment. 

If you have trouble getting or maintaining an erection, tell your healthcare provider. Erectile dysfunction is relatively common (even in younger guys), and there are a number of options that can help.

How to get harder erections without medication

Erectile dysfunction Aug 11, 2021 4 min read

The strength and frequency of your erections are actually important indicators of your underlying health. For some people, the first sign of heart disease is actually trouble getting or staying hard. ED can also be a sign of things like blood vessel problems, hormonal imbalances, or other conditions. 

Men typically have between three and five erections every night. Regular erections—including daily morning erections—are an important overall indicator of a man’s health.

If you are getting erections, great! There’s no need to be concerned about being “too hard,” as your body only has so much blood to offer. However, an erection that lasts too long (generally considered more than four hours) is referred to as priapism. If you’re erect for too long, the tissue in your penis isn’t getting fresh blood, which can cause tissue damage. 

An erection lasting over four hours is considered a medical emergency, requiring immediate medical attention.

What options are there for enlargement?

If you’ve seen ads promising to make your penis bigger, your best bet is to steer clear. Injections like Juvederm, which are used for cosmetic facial procedures, have been used by some medical professionals to increase girth, but they’re not approved for this use, and there have been reports of permanent tissue damage down there as a result. Penis implants are typically reserved for people who have trouble getting erections due to hormonal or neurological issues and aren’t effective for making your already-hard member larger. Penis pumps and other vacuum devices likely won’t have much of an effect and may cause damage (Elist, 2006). 

Talk to your healthcare provider about any pain, performance issues, or even body image issues if you feel dissatisfied with your penis. The first step to living a healthier life is having open conversations with your provider about all aspects of your health—even your penis.

HYDROMAX-7

Can I ask a question? How much water should be in the hydropump during a procedure? My flask is almost full. What affects the amount of water? How many times a set do I need to press on the vacuum? The thing is that I got a full pump of water and began to vacuum. I felt like my penis filled with blood, and then it weakens. Do I need to increase the pressure again? Thanks.

The pump should be completely full of water. Yes, of course, you need to increase the pressure. It weakens because your penis expands. Compress the corrugation, and the pressure will increase.

HYDROMAX - X30

Hello! I’ve been using a pump for seven months. I have hydromax-30. When I first started, my penis was 16 cm, according to the scale. Now it’s 17.5, but it gets to 18 sometimes. I noticed about 0.5 cm of growth every two weeks. For the last month, it has stopped growing. 1. Could it be possible that I’ve reached my limit? Or maybe I pressed the corrugation too hard? Does it matter if I press the pump 3 or 6 times? 2. Or maybe I simply need the larger size, like the 40th model?

Good day! We recommend that you add jelqing exercises to your training sessions. If there aren’t any traumas, swelling, and erecting is great during sex, then you’re doing everything correctly. Add the jelqing exercises, and you will see the additional changes. You shouldn’t change the pump yet. The decrease in growth is normal. The body’s resources are restricted, but we are sure that you haven’t used yours up yet. It’s normal to get used to the loads. Thanks for your message. Right us back when you have any questions.

HYDROMAX-3

Hello, after using the Bathmate, my skin expands a lot under the bridle. It’s swelling up a lot more than the penis itself. Is it normal? It seems so swollen!

Reduce the number of sets or vacuum pressure to avoid such swelling. If you’re overusing the pump, take a few days of rest and when you begin again, take shorter sessions.

HYDROMAX-9

Hi guys! Does anyone have two pump versions, the regular one, and the xtreme? Is there any difference between them? Also, my penis doesn’t want to grow much in length. I only added 2 cm, but my diameter has increased a lot. Condoms roll back tighter, plus the insert by the end of the session is a little tight. According to the manufacturer's recommendations, I must get the x7. Right now, with a maximum pressing, its 17.5 cm, but it’s a bit too tight. Is it time to get the x9?

I want to share my experience, and maybe it will be useful for somebody. The essence of active growth is overcoming. If your penis is 17 cm today, you need to reach 17.2 in the bathtub and don’t leave the tub until you get that! Then you fixate this result for 1-2 weeks. Don’t exit your bathroom until you get that 17.2. Then you will start noticing that 17.2 is getting too easy. You’re reaching this number in a first set. Next time do it until you’re 17.3-17.4 cm. That is how we grow. Also, check your hormones. If your testosterone is low, you can start taking Omnadren or Sustanon. They are substitutes for testosterone. Next, check your pump. If you can afford it, get the Xtreme. If you can’t, do the following: pump with a Hydromax to the edge (this advice isn’t for the beginners), then while you’re in the bathtub, push your pelvis forward. Your penis will lengthen a bit, press on the Hydromax, and you will be able to let some more water out of it, fixating this penis length. Pull your pelvis backward (to a normal position), and you will feel true vacuum! )) You can tilt the pump and stretch the ligament. Tilt ahead of you. Pull the pump away from yourself. Anyway, it’s a fight for the extra millimeters. It’s training. You don’t just put on the pump, yawn, and you’re done. Yes, it will still grow if you’re in a passive mode, but mine grew for 2 cm, and then the growing stopped! I started coming up with ideas, and the ice started moving! Good luck to you all!

How many times a week, and for how long should I use the pump?

Max

Hello! Intensive training: 15 minutes a day, 3 sets at 5 minutes each, 5 days a week, during a 6 week period. The result may be up to 30% of volume and length as a whole. It depends on the individual specialties of the body. Maintaining training: 2-3 times a week with three sets at 5 minutes each. With regular training, you will get 2-3 cm of growth within a year. This result is permanent.

I decided to leave feedback about the hydropumps because I see that users aren’t very active at posting reviews. Maybe someone will reply with their experience and techniques in the use of hydropumps. So, I have two pumps: Hydromax 7 and Xtreme 9. In February, I purchased the Hydromax, and one week later, I knew that it was getting too small in diameter. I guess I underestimated my measurements. I like the result, so I decided to get a larger and more powerful pump. Now I only pump with the Xtreme 9. In a matter of six months, I have the following results: 1. I added 2.5 cm to my length right after I started using the pump. 2. If I stop using the pump for 2-3 days, I keep about 1.5 cm that was added. I am hoping that it will continue to grow as it does now. I understand that at some point, the growing process will slow down, but I sure don’t want to slow down. Theoretically, I saw some very big enlargements by pumps over the internet, so I am hoping that in a year or two, I will be getting the xtreme 11.

I purchased a pump to solve my manhood problems. I’m warning you - it’s going to be a long story. I have prostates for over 1.5 years now. I caught a cold once and started peeing a lot. My urination flow got weak, and the bladder wouldn’t get empty. I had to strain myself, but it still felt like I didn’t finish urinating. Plus, in about 3-4 months, I started experiencing slight pain during urination, and my erection got weaker. I am only 31 years old, you guys! I went to see the urologist twice. He didn’t find any viruses or infections. It’s just those darn consequences of a cold (by the way, take good care of yourself and train your body to cold temperatures). Pills, suppositories (Prostatilen, Polioksidoniy), and sessions with a magnet didn’t help. When I came in for the second time, the doctor prescribed the same thing, and I knew that it wasn’t going to help me. By the way, my doctor didn’t recommend a pump. I did some research over the internet and read that hydropump is the best device for treating male problems and other issues. Also, I learned that it increases the size and volume of the penis. I wouldn’t say I needed that, but why not? ) Anyway, I was researching for a long time, and then I found a post about a hydropump. It wasn’t an advertisement but an actual post, describing which hydropump is better. They said that Hydromax hydropump was the best. I found this website – they are the official suppliers. It took me a while to find them. Anyway, I don’t think it’s too expensive (there are many options on the website), plus this hydropump lasts for many years. It recovers my health, that’s all I have to say. RESULTS: It’s been 6 days since I started using it (I use it every day). I noticed the effect after the first session! It felt as if stagnation started to go away. I stopped running to the restroom so often, my urination flow became stronger, and I began to empty my bladder. And the pain is gone! The results are unreal! I mean, I’ve been suffering for 1.5 years, and I just started using the pump! I understand that results will get even better the more I use it! Plus, my penis will get more substantial, and my overall male health will improve! Anyway, thanks for reading till the end! I am so grateful to this company and especially Mary, who were so kind in providing detailed consultation I needed! You guys are fantastic!
