Men stunned as size of average penis is revealed — and it’s smaller than you think
This is the long and short of it.
A female doctor says most people overestimate the size of the average penis, claiming most men barely measure more than five inches even when they’re rock hard.
Dr. Jen Caudle dished the details in a TikTok clip in a bid to alter expectations about appendages and destroy the motto that “size matters.”
“I want to impart some knowledge about what the true average size of penises tend to be,” the doc declared.
“One reason is because I think most people or rather many people think that the average penis size is a lot longer and larger than it actually is.”
“Number two, there is a lot of societal pressure to be a certain way,” she continued, “This goes for both men and women and I’m not a fan of it. I want to tell you some facts, hopefully that will help set the record straight on what really is.”
Caudle then shared some manhood measurements, stating: “The average size of a flaccid penis is 3.6 inches, and the average size of an erect penis is 5.17 inches. Did you know that? It’s actually shorter than I think a lot of people would imagine.”
The doctor urged men not to worry if they fell short — quite literally — in the pants department, saying they could measure up in other ways. She also stated that penis size is often unrelated to sexual pleasure.
“What matters is you,” she encouraged, saying that all men are fine the way they are.
Many men were shocked by the stat, saying they has severely overestimated the average size.
‘5.17???? I’m YUUUGE!” one exclaimed, using all caps to express his enthusiasm.
“LET’S GOOOOO I’M ABOVE AVERAGE (but I’m still self-conscious),” another added.
However, other viewers chimed in saying size simply didn’t matter — big or small.
“A bit like money, what matters is what you do with it!” one quipped.
