From the average length to penis envy, enlargement surgery to tips on how you can be bigger, stronger and longer. Penises come in all shapes and sizes and we give your advice on how to get the best from what you’ve got.
According to studies, it has been found that the size of British penises falls within the average range.
A comprehensive analysis conducted by Mandatory.com collected data on erect penis sizes from 80 countries worldwide and created a chart displaying the results.
The United Kingdom’s placement on the chart reveals that its average size is precisely in the middle. It doesn’t reach the larger sizes represented by the green column, nor does it fall into the smaller sizes represented by the yellow column. Instead, it lands in the orange column, indicating an average size.
Which country’s men have the biggest penises?
Comparatively, the country with the longest average erect penises is reported to be the Democratic Republic of the Congo, measuring approximately 7.1 inches. On the other end of the spectrum, North Korea has the smallest average size, with around 3.8 inches.
Taking the average of all countries, the global average erect penis size is approximately 5.5 inches.
Which country does the UK’s men surpass in terms of Penis Size?
Guys in the United Kingdom matches this average, surpassing countries such as the United States (5.1 inches) and China (4.3 inches), but sharing the same average size as New Zealand, Ukraine, and Canada.
How do you measure you penis?
Mandatory.com suggests that the correct way to measure penis length is from the tip of the penis to the very bottom of the pubic bone. Interestingly, only a small percentage (approximately 3%) of men worldwide have a penis measuring over 8 inches in length. For a detailed demonstration of the correct measuring technique, you can refer to a video by David Wavey that provides precise instructions.
A micropenis is a term used to describe an unusually small penis. The condition is typically identified when the erect penis measures less than 2.8 inches (7 centimetres) in adults. It’s important to note that having micropenis is a medical condition and not just a variation in size.
Micropenis is usually identified at birth or during early childhood, and it can be caused by hormonal or genetic factors.
In some cases, micropenis may be associated with a hormonal imbalance during fetal development, such as insufficient testosterone. This condition is known as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Micropenis can also be a part of other genetic syndromes.
It’s crucial to approach discussions about micropenis with sensitivity and understanding, as it can be a source of emotional distress for individuals affected. Treatment options may include hormonal therapy during puberty to stimulate penis growth or, in some cases, surgery may be considered. If someone is concerned about the size of their penis, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and guidance on potential treatments.
Did you know there’s a dating app designed for guys with small dicks and it’s apparently become a big hit, particularly with the gay and bi-male community according to its creators.
Nearly one-quarter of the guys who have registered on the app identify as gay or bisexual, which is way above proportionality for the general population.
The app, which is called Dinky Ones was only launched in March 2020 and has already had over 100,000 men join.
According to the app’s founder, David Minns, Dinky One has registered nearly 25,000 gay or bi men and over 800 of them log in every day.
For the super nerdy, they swapped 1955 messages.
So how big (or small) do you need to be to register?
According to the website, Dinking Dating recommends that users who are less than 5.5 inches then you’re eligible to join. They write, “If your penis is less than this you are eligible to join. 50% of the male population will have a penis less than average size. That’s half of the men in your university, office, night club or train. You’re certainly not alone.
“Also remember, men often like to exaggerate. If you hear someone saying they are 7 inches it generally means 6 or 6.5 at best.”
However small cock lovers are also invited to join, Dinky Ones added, “Interested in dating a man who has penis size below 5.5 inches (14cm).
All about normalising penis size
Of course, penis size is a source of great discussion on gay dating apps, like Grindr and Scuff and many guys have a warped sense of what is normal when it comes to penis size, thanks to media and unrealistic porn scenes.
Our sexpert Patrick Devon told us, “Penises come in all shapes and sizes and most of them are smaller than you think, as gay men we tend to watch a lot of gay porn, which usually has two or more penises involved, but guys who work in porn tend to have larger cocks – which gives us a warped perception of what is actually average”.
Dinky Ones says, “In addition, the internet is packed with false claims and products to increase penis size. Many young men now think that you need a 12-inch penis to satisfy your partner. This is simply not the case and our dating site is here to normalise the situation.”
Are small dicks different from Micropenises?
According to Dinky Ones any dick smaller than the average is classed as a small dick – so anything less than 5.5 inches would be classed small, however, micropenises are willies that are smaller than 2 inches when erect.
A micropenis is classed as a penis that’s half the size of the average size, so from around 2.5 inches when erect, but can be smaller than that.
It is a recognised medical condition and doesn’t have a cure, per se. It affects 0.6% of the male population and shouldn’t be confused with someone who has buried penis syndrome or someone who is just smaller than average.
Have you ever wondered if there is such a thing as a penis too big for a gay man? It’s a question that has long been debated in the gay community, with some claiming that there is no such thing as a “big penis” and others believing that there are limits to how large a penis can be before it becomes uncomfortable. In this blog post, we will discuss the topic of a “big penis” and whether or not there is such a thing as a penis too big for a gay man. We will explore the opinions of both sides and provide insights on the topic.

The answer may surprise you
When it comes to the size of a penis, not all gay men agree on what is too big. In fact, some gay men even joke about how large penises can be a blessing in disguise. The extra girth and length of a large penis can make it easier for a man to reach new heights of pleasure with his partner. However, it’s important to remember that penis size doesn’t necessarily equate to sexual pleasure, so having an overly large penis may not be the most beneficial thing for a gay man’s sex life.
The pros and cons of a large penis
Are there pros and cons of having a big penis?
When it comes to sex between gay men, the size of a man’s penis can be a source of pleasure and angst. For those who enjoy bottoming, a larger penis can feel better for anal stimulation and prostate play. On the other hand, a larger penis may be more likely to cause an anal fissure or other discomfort. Obviously, there’s the visual aspect, especially when you’re on your knees and a giant phallus is waving in your face, but let’s not forget that big things can become a choking hazard or even can cause significant damage to your throat as one man learned in 2018.
The pros of a large penis include increased stimulation for bottoms during sex. A larger penis can fill up a person more and make it easier to find and stimulate the prostate. This can result in more intense orgasms and longer-lasting pleasure.
On the other hand, there are some drawbacks associated with larger penises. The size may make it more difficult to penetrate, which can cause pain and discomfort. The tightness can also put too much pressure on the anus and a bad session or overdoing it could result in an anal fissure.
In some cases, it may also cause one partner to feel uncomfortable or insecure due to the size difference.
Men with large johnsons can also find themselves viewed solely as sexual objects – and risk becoming fetishised or objectified. Pretty insulting when your cock is just one (proportionally speaking) small part of you.
Ultimately, it’s important to communicate with your partner about size preferences. Experimenting with different positions and using plenty of lube can help to make sex more enjoyable for both partners regardless of size. Finding the right balance between comfort and pleasure is key for having enjoyable sex regardless of penis size.
Tips for dealing with a large penis
If you have a large penis, there are some techniques and tools you can use to make sex more comfortable for both you and your partner. Here are some of our tips:
Use Lube – Lubricant is essential for anal sex and other kinds of penetrative sex. It helps reduce friction and makes it much easier to penetrate without causing pain or discomfort.
Try Different Positions – Some positions are better for people with large penises than others. The missionary position is usually a good choice as the receiver can control the depth of penetration. Other popular positions that work well with a larger penis include doggy style, spooning, and side-by-side.
Use a Dildo or Butt Plug – If you’re not quite ready to penetrate your partner with your own penis, you can use a dildo or butt plug as an alternative. These sex toys come in a variety of sizes and can help you get used to the feeling of something larger.
Take it Slow – Rushing into anal sex or any kind of penetration can be painful or uncomfortable. Take your time and start with some foreplay or other kinds of pleasure before trying to penetrate your partner.
Use Poppers – Poppers are a type of drug that relaxes muscles and increases blood flow, making anal sex more pleasurable for both partners. Just make sure to use them safely and according to the instructions on the bottle. Dealing with a large penis doesn’t have to be intimidating or uncomfortable. With the right knowledge and preparation, you can make sure both you and your partner enjoy the experience.
The psychology behind why some men prefer large cocks
When it comes to gay men and big penises, there is more than meets the eye. For some, a larger penis can represent an increased sense of power and dominance, while the size may symbolize acceptance and belonging for others. But what does this mean when it comes to sex?
Our Sexpert Patrick Devon told us, “For many gay men, the thought of having their anus stretched open by a large penis can be both thrilling and intimidating. This sensation of “gaping” their anus is sometimes is something a lot of bottoms strive for, because it’s seen as a challenge… One they want to excel in!
“While it can be uncomfortable and even painful at times, some gay men find that being dominated and having their ass “wrecked” by a larger penis can be incredibly pleasurable. In some cases, the size of the penis can even become a point of pride among partners, with some people referring to this phenomenon as “size queens.
“And then there’s cock worship. That feeling of taking in something bigger than ourselves… it can be quite a religious moment for many men when they kneel at the church of cock. Sometimes men want to be dominated, made to feel that they are only there to please. It kind of makes sense when you think about it. In society, (now I know this is a generalisation) men are conditioned to be strong, in control and in charge, but what if when you get home you just want to feel a little more subordinate, a little more controlled? Well taking the big penis orally or anally, is definitely one way of giving in to something bigger than you”.
Devon finishes by saying, “Ultimately, it’s important to remember that everyone is different, and not all gay men are necessarily attracted to big penises. Everyone has their own preferences, but understanding why some people might have an affinity for large penises can help us to understand our own desires better.”

If it’s swinging between your knees you could be earning nearly 30 GRAND less than a guy with a smaller dong
Good news for guys with smaller penises, you’re likely to be earning way much more than your bigger donged brethren, according to new research.
A new study by OneBuy.com found that guys with the smallest schlongs around 3 inches in length earned on average £30,000 more than those with the biggest, in this case, those who are swinging in at around 8+ inches.
Now, for clarification, the numbers of guys who admitted to having a penis size of 3 inches was just 2%, while 3% said they had a penis size over 8 inches. However, their earnings were vastly different.
[totalpoll id=”124541″]
Well hung doesn’t mean well off
Guys who said they had 3 inches earned on average £58,000 while those who had more than eight inches earned around £27,000.
Men with an average size between 5 and 6 inches earned between £36,000 and £32,000 respectively.
Oh, and most guys who measured in smallest worked in banking and finance, (7%) while the bigger lads most likely worked in the arts (5%).
Smaller guys get promoted more?
Getting promoted more
According to the research guys with smaller dicks also had more promotions at work with at least 2 advancements in the last year for those just measuring between 3 and 4 inches. Guys who packed more than 8 inches only had 0.5 promotions.
OnBuy.com surveyed 997 men across the UK asking them their penis length, job role and salary. OnBuy were then able to assess the data and see correlations between penis length and salary, as well as which job sectors had the highest proportions of large, average, and small penises.

Small penis guys are winning at life
Remarking on the find, Sexpert Jack Devon said, “It’s really interesting that guys with smaller dicks are winning when it comes to the office, the research might suggest that they work harder to impress their peers and bosses with their work efforts, compared to guys with bigger cocks.
“One possible explanation is that guys who have smaller penises can often feel inadequate, because of pressures from the media and porn to have a large appendage, so maybe they feel they need to make up for it in other ways. Regardless, when it comes to penis size, it really doesn’t matter what you have between your legs. After all, your brain and imagination are the only limits when it comes to the bedroom.
Did you know there’s a different average penis size for most countries around the world and the difference between the biggest penis and the smallest penis is just a couple of inches? However, the average dick size worldwide still comes right bang slap in the middle of those two numbers.
The longest average erect penises are apparently in the African country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo who’s men are packing an average of 7.1 inches (18.03 cms) and the smallest apparently are in North Korea with 3.8 inches (9.65 cms)
The UK came in at exactly 5.5 inches (13.9 cms) for the average schlong, while the USA came in at 5.2 inches (13.2 cms), according to the research.

Big market for small penises
This dating app isn’t the only business marketed towards guys who have smaller penises (or their admirers), no, there’s also a small penis festival and there could be a range of other services as guys become more comfortable with whatever size they’re packing, even if they have a micropenis.
What is the average penis size and what is a small penis?
According to research conducted in 2015, the average penis size worldwide is around 5.5 inches (13.9 cms) when fully erect and according to the research, the UK’s men are exactly in that spot – so the average erect penis size for men in the UK is 5.5 inches.
Penis size is one of those subjects that can come up often, particularly if you’re on a dating app like Grindr. But where do you measure from? Depending on where you measure from can leave you with inches worth of difference. The top, the side, underneath? These are all valid places to get a measurement, but which is the standard way?
Well, the very question of penis size and how to measure it came up on set of a gay porn shoot recently.
So, according to one porn star you need to use the Bone Press Method. Ever heard of it? Nope nor us. But gay porn star Mitch Matthews believes it’s the only way to get an accurate measurement.
Porn blog, WeLoveGayPorn (NSFW) reports, that in his latest scene for GuysInSweatpants.com the Mitch was keen to help his co-star Dante Colle get an accurate measure of his peen – and to do this you need to measure from the top, but “press into the skin, rather than letting it (the ruler) rest on the top (of the penis). He joked, “apparently it’s the standard way!”

So there you have it. Have you tried the BPM?
Ever wondered how long the average penis is?
According to research conducted in 2015, the average penis size worldwide is around 5.5 inches (13.9 cms) when fully erect and according to the research, the UK’s men are exactly in that spot – so the average erect penis size for men in the UK is 5.5 inches.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s “normal” when it comes to penis size then looked at your own and thought, “is mine normal?” we have some answers for you.
Did you know there’s a different average penis size for most countries around the world and the difference between the biggest penis and the smallest penis is just a couple of inches? However, the average dick size worldwide still comes right bang slap in the middle of those two numbers.
According to research conducted in 2015, the average penis size worldwide is around 5.5 inches (13.9 cms) when fully erect and according to the research, the UK’s men are exactly in that spot – so the average erect penis size for men in the UK is 5.5 inches. Feeling more normal now?
Those figures were come to (no pun intended) by studying the cocks of around 17,000 men.
Most guys might be mistaken for thinking that the average penis length and girth is much longer, as our main source of evidence for cock size is usually porn. In fact, if you’re heterosexual, the only time you’d really see another man’s erection is during porn. Most porn stars are packing a member that’s usually bigger than average and don’t forget the camera does add size to most objects.
Where in the world do the men have the largest penises?
The longest average erect penises are apparently in the African country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo who’s men are packing an average of 7.1 inches (18.03 cms) and the smallest apparently are in North Korea with 3.8 inches (9.65 cms)
The UK came in at exactly 5.5 inches (13.9 cms) for the average schlong, while the USA came in at 5.2 inches (13.2 cms), according to the research.
Although having a larger penis might seem like a preferable asset to have it doesn’t actually mean that it is. According to recent research guys who have smaller penises actually earn more than their larger schlonged counterparts.
Now, let’s just start by saying, having a micropenis is totally okay, you shouldn’t feel shame, or be shamed for having a smaller penis. The problem isn’t you, it’s more mainstream media and porn which tends to centre big dicks or link big penises to heightened masculinity. Like that’s the answer to everything? It really shouldn’t be and there are many upsides to having a smaller cock and there’s a small penis festival too… But with that said, many guys and their partners or even potential partners can feel that it’s a physical and mental block to their relationship. So what do you do if you or your partner has a micropenis (and you want to do something about it)?
First off, let’s discuss. What is a micropenis?
Did you know the average size of an erect penis in the UK, is between 5 and 6 inches? Yep, so if your member isn’t hanging somewhere around your knees, don’t worry, you’re in good company, it’s the same for nearly every other guy in the UK – in fact, the world.
A micropenis is classed as a penis that’s half the size of the average size, so from around 2.5 inches when erect, but can be smaller than that. It is a recognised medical condition and doesn’t have a cure, per se. It affects just 0.6% of the male population and shouldn’t be confused with someone who has buried penis syndrome or someone who is just smaller than average.
So how can you overcome having a smaller penis?
There are a number of ways where someone with a smaller than average, or micropenis can still fulfil their sexual desires and their partners. Most of it is actually in the mind rather than below the belt.
Here are some ideas.
Not everything has to be penis centric
Himeros explored ways guys could explore sex beyond penetration.
Sure, most sex between men focuses on the penis with an end goal of climaxing, but there are many other ways to enjoy a sexual connection without someone’s penis being this centre of attention. In their video, “Connecting The Dots”, porn studio, Himeros explored ways in which to deepen sexual connections (NSFW), without necessarily going to penetration or oral sex. There’s also massage to explore as well as tantra to try out.
Then there’s prostate play, rimming and frottage (that’s the rubbing of genitals – also explored in the Himeros video) There are so many possibilities.
Positions
If you or your micropenis boyfriend is a top, you can look at different positions. Many guys who have a micropenis can find it hard to actually penetrate, but there are some positions where you can achieve penetration. One of which is with the receptive partner on his back with his pelvis raised. Raise his legs behind your head (or as near as they can get). This position leaves the ass open and exposed. Positions like the doggie is a little more tricky, because the bottom’s butt will act as a cushion, but if you simply pull your cheeks apart your exposed hole is much easier to get to! Don’t forget that there are loads of nerve endings around the opening of the butt and you won’t hear any complaints from a bottom if you’re concentrating on just that area!
Toys
You can always open up the idea of introducing toys to the bedroom. If you’re both into butt play, then this is a good call, regardless of penis size. In fact, it can take your penises right out of the equation. With a dildo, you can go as big as you want. Plus, you won’t need to worry about how long you can last for – the play can go on and on as you both explore the options. You can both have fun working your way up to sizes you never dreamed of.
Sleeves, strap ons And extenders
Have you heard of penis extenders and sleeves which increase the girth and length of the wearer’s penis? The wearer of a sleeve can literally double, triple or quadruple their size. Simply slide the penis inside the strap on or extender and let the magic commence.
Again the introduction of an extender or sleeve involves a conversation to be had between the two of you. These sleeves allow heat and feel to transfer right through them, allowing for an incredibly realistic feel.
Lets start celebrating bodies and penises in whatever size or shape they come in.
A reader asks what are the options for making his penis bigger
Dear AG,
I wondered if it was possible to make my dick bigger, I’ve seen lots of advertisement for pills and various techniques and wondered if any of them actually worked?
Steve
Dear Steve,
For hundreds of years if not millennia, guys have been worried about the size of their manhoods, but there’s so much misinformation out there, that it’s actually hard to know what the truth about penis and size actually is.
In reality, they come (no pun) in all shapes, sizes and indeed colours. First of you should know that here in Britain the average size of an erect penis is… 5.5 inches – which is apparently also the average global average of an erect penis.
So you might actually be well within the average or bigger than you actually think.
So now, down to your question can you make it bigger?
Well yes, there are ways to make it bigger – however, only one is medically proven to actually increase the size of your manhood.
Surgery. You can get your penis lengthened with surgery, however, the cost, which can go up to around £7000 might be a bit prohibitive. The length and girth you’ll actually achieve with this method will be around a 1 to an inch and half for length and girth
Jelqing. This apparent, ancient practice of basically pulling and massaging (not masturbating) your semi-erect penis for what can amount to hours can, and has, an ex has assured me worked – but it’s time-consuming and it’s not been clinically proven.
Pumps. There are numerous vacuum pumps which can in the short term grow the size of your penis. However the side effects are not permanent – and you’ll have to wear a cock ring once you’ve finished pumping to keep the blood inside the penis.
Hanging weights off it. If you’re in for the long haul then hanging weights from your dangly bits may (I’m stressing MAY) make your penis longer, although it could take months if not years of persistence. However, I’d have to advise caution as you could cause long term damage to yourself.
Really easy ways to make your cock look bigger!
(C) BIGSTOCK
Changing the surroundings. Did you know by a careful trim of the pubic area can actually make your dong look bigger. The less hair around the base will give you an extra half inch…
Losing weight can also help. Some guys, as they put on weight can put it on in their pubic area – also known as the FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area).
There’s an old adage that for every stone you lose you gain an inch down there – well technically that could be true – depending on the size of your FUPA. It could be actually hiding the first inch or two of your penis.
Whatever you do, don’t believe the hype that any pill can increase the size of your penis.
I have an incredible boyfriend, we’ve been dating for about six months.
We had a long dating period – where we didn’t have sex but decided to go on a series of dates to get to know each other.
It’s been great to do this because we’ve created a really strong emotional bond. However, After about 2 months we decided to have sex.
Problem is he has a micropenis. It’s very small. It’s not a total loss – he’s great at sex in general, he gives good head and takes time with everything else. Anal sex though is just out of the question. He really isn’t big enough to get inside me… and that’s a problem.
I’m a versatile guy and I don’t want to have a relationship where I’m going to be the top forever. As I said he’s the perfect guy. I don’t want to break it up, but can you make it work if the body parts don’t add up to what you need in the bedroom?
Thomas
Dear Thomas
It’s wonderful that you’ve found the perfect guy where you have a strong emotional bond and you took the time to know the guy before having sex – and it sounds as though you realise that dicks, no matter their size only make up a part of what makes the man – but they can be an important part, so let’s see what your options are.
As you’re six months in you have a couple of options open to you. You could break it off if his size really is a deal-breaker, but are you prepared to let go of the “perfect guy” for this reason alone? Breaking it off because of his size will be a saving grace for both of you. He deserves someone that sees past what you see as a flaw. Remember one man’s small penis is another’s delight.
However, there are some ideas you can try out.
It is likely that your boyfriend is totally aware of his penis size and you guilting him about it is a surefire way to turn this relationship toxic. So why not have an open discussion with him about what you want. If you want to be topped but have found it impossible to do this with your boyfriend don’t talk in problems talk in solutions.
Toys
Discuss the idea of introducing toys to the bedroom – where he can top you with a dildo. With a dildo, you can go as big as you want. Both he and you can have fun working your way up to sizes you never dreamed of – and you can do the same to him. It takes the pressure off both of you and size doesn’t matter.
Positions
You didn’t mention what positions you tried for anal sex. There are some positions where you can achieve penetration, even if he has a small penis. One of which is you on your back, your pelvis raised, with your legs behind your head (or as near as you can get). If you want doggie, simply pull your cheeks apart so that there’s no butt cushion and your hole exposed.
Sleeves And Extenders
There are also penis extenders and sleeves which increase the girth and length of the wearer’s penis. See what he feels about wearing one. He may actually want to top you, but his inability to do so could be frustrating the hell out of him too. These sleeves allow heat and feel to transfer right through them, so it’ll feel like he’s actually inside you.
Threeways
Have you thought about opening your relationship to having a threeway / fourway? It’s not for everyone and both people in a relationship have to be on board, but it might be an avenue worth exploring. Just make sure you talk about boundaries and expectations before you get a third or fourth involved.
Reading back over your message there’s a lot of hope in your relationship. You are clearly loving this guy and everything that he brings to the relationship, so celebrate those parts and find solutions for the bits that don’t work so well – and as you said he also gives really good head.
