Hi Bittu,

Who is to say what normal is? There is a good reference at sexuality.about.com that says, " The results from three studies of penis size where the measurements were taken in a laboratory setting give the following ranges:

• Average penis length (flaccid/not erect): from 3.4 inches to 3.7 inches (8.6 cm to 9.3 cm)
• Average penis length (erect): from 5.1 inches to 5.7 inches (12.9 cm to 14.5 cm)
• Average penis girth (circumference when erect): from 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches (8.8 cm to 10 cm)

These numbers are obviously very different from the sizes we hear (and see) in adult movies, and even the kinds of numbers you read on line. Why such a difference?

Many, possibly most, statistics you read are not from legitimate research, but from marketing companies who want you to feel bad about your penis size (so you'll buy their product).

Important facts about reports of average penis size

• There is much greater variation in size of flaccid (non-erect) penises than of penises when they are erect. A soft penis that looks large may be roughly the same size when erect as a soft penis that looks smaller.
• Because most men see other penises when they are not erect it can appear as if there is a big difference, and men may be likely to assume their erect penis is much smaller when compared to others.
• Male porn stars are often chosen specifically because they have larger than average penises. Also, there are a variety of techniques used to make penises look bigger on camera. Lighting, camera angle, and even shaving of pubic hair can all make things look bigger on camera.

After discussing things with your doctor, if you decide you want to look into penile implants or other treatments, you can check that out here. The information I am giving you assumes you are having erection problems. There is alot of information here about the penile implants. Dr. Justin Harmon wrote an extensive article about penile implants. You can read that here. There is also a very good article here about complications.

I hope this helps. Take care, make sure you stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
