How many guys have 7 inches or more?
It’s rare. Super rare. According to the available research, just one in a hundred guys have a penis that measures between 7–8 inches erect.
Numerous studies have found that Kinsey’s original estimate of 6 inches is around a full inch longer than average. While we’ll take his findings with a grain of salt, Kinsey’s other research showed that extremely large penises (over 7–8 inches) are exceedingly rare. In fact, the original Kinsey penis-size survey found that only (Kinsey Institute, n.d.):
- 1% of men have a penis between 7–8 inches
- 6 in 1000 guys (0.6%) have a 9-inch penis
- Just over 0.2% of guys have a penis larger than 9 inches—that’s 2 in 1000
Up to 90% of male penises are within an inch of the average size. Statistically speaking, that means most guys have a normal-sized penis. No, really. Your penis is most likely within the normal range.

How to make your penis bigger
While most penises are a perfectly adequate size, many men are still unsatisfied with the size of their penis and want to find ways to make it bigger. If your penis falls in the normal range but you’re still bothered by the size of your penis, you may have what some researchers call penis anxiety or penis dysmorphic disorder (PDD—a type of body dysmorphic disorder).
In some cases, though, especially if you’re in the rare group of people with a micropenis, penis enlargement procedures or devices may be able to help. Learn more about the penis enlargement options available.
Does penis size matter?
The size of your penis almost definitely matters more to you than to anyone else, including your sexual partner or partners. One large study showed that only about 50% of men are satisfied with their penis size, while a whopping 85% of women are satisfied with their partner’s penis size (Lever, 2006).
A lot of myths and stereotypes link penis size to race, hand size, or even shoe size. But there just aren’t enough credible studies to back up any of these claims. Most guys have a penis that’s within an inch of the average size, so you’re probably right where you need to be. If you still have concerns, you can speak with your healthcare provider about the options available.
