The average penis length in the Netherlands and abroad
What is the average length of a penis?
The man and his penis, it is a complicated marriage. One man is happy with his penis, the other a little less. The average length of a penis is a subject that leads to curiosity. Men are often curious about what is considered "average" and where they find themselves in the statistics.
In this article we will delve deeper into the average penis length, both in the Netherlands and the rest of the world, and answer some frequently asked questions on this topic. Because let's be honest: you too are curious whether your penis is larger than average...
Average penis length in the Netherlands
Let's start with the average penis length in the Netherlands. Various studies and surveys have shown that the average length of a flaccid penis in the Netherlands is about 7 to 9 centimeters.
When you get excited, your penis naturally becomes larger. During an erection, the average length varies between 12 and 16 centimeters. It is important to know that the figures from these studies are only averages and that there is a large variation in penis length among men. There are men with shorter and longer penises, and that is… completely normal!
What is the average penis length worldwide?
Now that we know the average length of a penis in the Netherlands, we can look at it on a larger scale and compare it. Worldwide, there is a remarkably large difference in the average length of a penis. This length is largely dependent on your geographical location and ethnicity.
In general, average penis lengths are measured in the range of 13 to 15 centimeters (when erect). However, researchers say that measuring penises is difficult and that different measuring methods can lead to varying results. Therefore, it is important to note that these average data are not always very accurate.
Which country has the largest penis?
As men, we are often proud of our genitals and like to show them off. Especially if you have a large penis. Men in different countries have therefore already tried to claim that they have the largest average penis length, but it is important to understand that these claims are often based on non-representative samples.
From the most recent data, Congo seems to be the big winner, with an average penis length of no less than 17.93 cm. But the men in Ecuador (with 17.77 cm) and Ghana (with an impressive 17.31 cm) are not far behind. Although the question remains as to which method these men used to measure their penis and whether the data is therefore 100% correct...
What is the average circumference of a penis?
It's not just the length that counts, but also the thickness! Many women will confirm this... The average circumference of a penis varies between 9 and 12 centimetres when erect. But here too, there is a big difference between different population groups.
How do you measure your own penis size?
We already wrote it earlier, the way of measuring also influences the length of your penis. That is why we briefly explain below the most often used method to calculate the length of a penis. This way you too can find out the length of your genitals correctly and accurately.
- Make sure your penis is fully erect, so feel free to put on a hot movie! It is important that your penis is fully stiff, because the size of your penis varies greatly between flaccid and stiff states.
- Place a ruler or measuring tape at the top of your penis, just above your pubic hair.
- Measure from the top of your penis to the very tip of your glans.
- Read the measured length in centimeters on your ruler.
- Compare your length with the average lengths and find out if your penis is larger than average.
Until what age does your penis grow?
You may have discovered in the previous paragraph that your penis is not larger than average and that is completely normal. It could be that your penis is not yet fully grown.
Penis growth begins during puberty and usually continues into the late teens. For most boys, penis growth stops between the ages of 18 and 21. This means that your penis can continue to grow if you are under 21.
How big is the average penis?
The average penis length varies - as mentioned earlier - in the Netherlands between 12 and 16 centimeters with an erection. It is important to emphasize that length is not everything. The length of your penis is just one of many factors that influence your sexual performance and self-confidence. Because just like in motorsports: it is not the performance of the car, but the performance of the driver that determines success.
How big is a large penis?
What is actually considered “big” is hard to say and varies from person to person. There is also a division between cultures as to what is and is not a large penis. What is considered large to one person may be considered average to another, or vice versa.
It is important to understand that sexual performance is not entirely dependent on the size of your penis. Confidence, communication and emotional connection are much more important aspects of a healthy and enjoyable sexual life.
A final word on penis length
It is normal for you as a man to be curious about the average penis length and how you compare to the statistics. However, it is crucial to know that the length of your penis is not the only factor that counts in the bedroom.
The large variations in penis length between men is normal, because no two people are the same. There is also no universal standard for what is considered "big" or "small" in the world of penises. The most important thing is that you learn to accept your own body and be proud of your genitals!
