dtw1942 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I found this Weill Cornell Urology Dept report on the Internet and thought other members would be interested: https://www.cornellurology.com/clinical-conditions/sexual-medicine-program/penis-enlargement/ Penis Enlargement Penis Size and Penis Enlargement Penile size differs between men of different ethnic backgrounds and large studies of penis girth and length have been conducted by condom manufacturers. What many men perceive as a short penis actually falls into normal range size. Based on many published charts, scientific articles, and self reported web based surveys, 95 % of caucasian men will fall into one of the following categories of size: Average length of flaccid penis is between 3.4 inches and 3.7 inches (8.6 cm and 9.3 cm) Average length of erect penis is between 5.1 inches and 5.7 inches (12.9 cm and 14.5 cm) Average circumference of an erect penis is between 3.5 inches and 3.9 inches (8.8 cm and 10.0 cm) Shortening of the penis can be a result of weight gain and the deposition of fat pubic area. This results in the visual shortening of penis. Obesity increases the risk of erectile dysfunction and heavy men who complain of loss of length may simply have inadequate blood flow to achieve adequate rigidity. Less common reasons for shortening of the penis are inborn defects in response to a male hormone (testosterone), congenital cordae (tethering of penis), chromosomal abnormalities (rare), or a scar from Peyronie's disease (development of scars "“ plaques in the penis). Penile length may slightly decrease with age because of atrophy related to a decrease in testosterone level and the decreased frequency of erections. Prostate surgery may also damage the nerves and result in shortening of the penis. Thus, men who are concerned about penile size should be fully evaluated by a urologist specializing in sexual medicine, to exclude medical reasons for a change in penile size. From our experience, a majority of men who are concerned about penile size are younger men in their late teens, 20s and early 30s, and men older than 60. There is no "one for all" approach to evaluate and manage men concerned about penile size. However, if penile size and a decrease in girth is caused by a variant of Peyronie's disease, a so called "hour glass deformity", it can be successfully treated in specialized centers. A decrease in length of the penis after prostate surgery is managed by increasing the frequency of sexual interactions, corrections of underlying hormonal problems, and supplementation with antioxidants as shortening of the penis after prostatectomy is believed to be secondary to "free radicals", an active damaging form of oxygen which is produced in any part of the body after nerve injury. Surgical management of a short penis is limited to liposuction and transposition of scrotal skin in men with abnormal position of the penis. Cutting the suspensory ligament with a traction system has been used in some centers to elongate the penis, however it is not a commonly performed procedure as its effectiveness is questionable in most cases, and the effects depend on accurate patient selection and lack of any postoperative scarring. Fat injection, fat flaps, and silicon injections have all been tried to increase girth of penis. Fat injections last temporarily as most adipose (fat) cells dissolve. Fat flaps have been described as a successful method of increasing girth and is occasionally performed in reconstructive surgery. Injection of silicon has often been disastrous with an uneven, "bumpy" surface of the penis, erosion through skin, and scarring of subcutaneous tissue. Three common "home" methods are used to elongate the penis without medical supervision or proof of effectiveness: penile tape (also used in foreskin restoration) penile weight system penile stretching using a controlled stretch device. All are based on the assumption that by applying a pulling force on the penis, the penile tissues extend and men can achieve 0.25 to 0.75 cm increase in length. The penile stretching using adjustable devices like Fastsize has been used in the treatment of Peyronie's disease (curvature of penis). Results of a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine showed a mild increase in penis length after daily use of Fastsize for treatment of Peyronie's disease. Subjectively, all men noted reduced curvature estimated at 10"“40 degrees, increased penile length (1"“2.5 cm), and enhanced girth in areas of indentation or narrowing. Objective measures demonstrated reduced curvature in all men from 10"“45 degrees; average reduction for the group was 33% (51"“34 degrees). There were no adverse events including skin changes, ulcerations, hypoesthesia, or diminished rigidity. When supervised by a urologist with a sexual medicine specialty, the stretching method using FastSize may be safe. However, the unsupervised stretching treatment has resulted in bruising of the penis, vein thrombosis, and damage to nerves of the penis, especially if weights are used. Many web sites promote and sell devices, herbal preparations, and instructional DVDs for penile enlargement. We have reviewed some of the sites and it is almost universal that the pictures taken before treatment are taken with semi rigid penises. The trained eye of a sexual medicine specialist can recognize the arousal and rigidity of penises in pictures without much of difficulty, and we have not seen the convincing photographic documentation that those devices provide significant benefit. The no-device self-exercise method recommends stretching the penis with the hand for extended times during day. However, no medical literature is available to suggest that this is an effective method of penile elongation. Jelqing (jelq) is a type of exercise to increase girth of the penis by increasing positive pressure in the penis. By rolling the fingers from the base of the penis toward the head with the penis mostly rigid, the blood flow pushes on the side of penis and is supposed to stretch the tissues. This technique, in principle, is a modification of an old technique of the penile vacuum device (penile pump), where, by placing the cylinder on the penis and by creating negative pressure, the tissues get expanded. There are not medical studies evaluating the effectiveness of either jelqing or the penile pump to increase girth of the penis. The penile pump is occasionally used in our practice as part of the treatment of an hour glass deformity (narrowing of penis shaft). It is always combined with other medications and performed after an evaluation and training by a urologist. Penis size is an import issue for many men and men of all ages are concerned about length and thickness of their penises. Penile growth and development is a complex process regulated by genes, hormones, and enviromental factors. As with any health concern, men who are worried about their penis size should consult with a urologist trained in sexual medicine. The Department of Urology at Weill Cornell Medical College is one of the top rated urology programs in United States. Dr. Darius A. Paduch, who runs Sexual Medicine in the Department, is a fellowship trained urologist with expertise in male sexual and reproductive health and will be happy to address concerns and evaluate any man who is concerned about the size of the penis.

Heero-9 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thank you for the post I have seen in other studys say the erect circumference is less then 4" but I just can't beleave it I'm 4 1/2 mid shaft 5 at the base according to this study I'm prity thick it just don't sound right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey Guy! Most medical studies I have seen indicate that the average range for the girth of an erect penis (worldwide) falls between 4.5 and 4.9 inches. Our own non-ethnically-oriented study here (see page 2 of the Unofficial Measurection Census 2) indicates that fully 66.7% of the 576 Measurection members who have already completed the survey have an erect girth between 4.1 and 5.5 inches. By extrapolation, this would indicate an approximate mid-range of about 4.6-4.9 inches, fully in keeping with other more scientifically-oriented studies of this same subject.

dtw1942 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey Guy! Most medical studies I have seen indicate that the average range for the girth of an erect penis (worldwide) falls between 4.5 and 4.9 inches. Seems to be closer to reality than the stats mentioned in the Referenced study. I can not wrap my mind around a 4" girth as being above average. It is strange that the study mentioned that 95% of men fall into ONE of the categories and not all of the categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 . . . 95% of men fall into ONE of the categories . . . Hey Guy! The way I read it is as follows: About 95% of (Caucasian) men fall into one (or more) of the following three enumerated categories: Average range of flaccid length between 3.4-3.7 inches Average range of erect length between 5.1-5.7 inches Average range of erect girth between 4.5-4.9 inches. Then it makes quite a bit of sense. At some point in the copying process, there might well have been a transcription error which accidentally altered the reported girth measurement from 4.5-4.9 inches down to the incorrectly low range of 3.5-3.9 inches. Either that, or the average range of 3.5-3.9 inches ought to have been cited as measuring flaccid girth, rather than erect girth. However, flaccid girth is very difficult to determine, and very few studies have ever attempted to measure this dimendion in this state.

Heero-9 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 4.5 - 4.9 sounds to me more realistic no way 3.5-3.9 can be average girth. 5.1 - 5.7 in length does not sound is so off it might be true . But even on Measurection with the stats I have look at I don't see alot of guys under 4.5 - 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtw1942 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 The following link will take you to the Hard Soft Gallery that is a collection of pictures showing guys in both their flaccid and erect state. According to the site manager, the average EL of an adult penis is 5.07" - based on the Wessels study. He seriously encourages guys with short penises to submit photographs which he critiques in a positive fashion: http://www.erectionphotos.com/softHardGallery/SoftHardGalleryP01.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I don't see a lot of guys under 4.5 - 5.0 inches. Hey Guy! The figures for erect penis length are more widely distributed than they are for erect girth. In other words, there's more variation in length. Still, even with the Unofficial Measurection Census 2, you will notice a fairly evenly-balanced Bell curve when we examine the numbers for erect penis length. Of the 2320 members who have already completed this portion of the survey, fully 64% fall within the range between 4.6 and 6.3 inches. So, by extrapolation, the median range (or approximate mid-point) would be between 5.3-5.6 inches, a range which is ever-so-slightly above that of the usually-accepted range, determined by medical studies, of 5.1-5.5 inches. Looked at from a slightly different angle, 421 members, or just over 18%, report an erect penis length of 4.5 inches or less. Rick PS We have no control over "big" guys registering, nor for that matter, like any other self-reported survey, do we have any control over others "stretching" the truth.

Iamhope Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Great article! But jelqing works!!! The jelqing program that I used was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodEnuf Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Great article! But jelqing works!!! The jelqing program that I used was the best. You need to understand that a sample of one has no statistical significance. For some men, jelqing can produce significant enlargement. (You are apparently one of those.) For some it can't produce any at all. For most, it can produce modest gain. Also, for most men, some level of continued jelqing activity will be required in order not to lose most of their gain.

Rick Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 But jelqing works!!! Hey Guy! This is the Measurection Reference Library. Please review the terms and conditions for posting comments in this section. Your singular, unverified proclamation (thereby providing us with a miniscule test-sample of one) is not evidence. It also might be well worth noting (again) what the original, cited urological report states: However, no medical literature is available to suggest that this is an effective method of penile elongation.

RAized Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I've done it. I was on here years ago and had an average size. I actually did it. It's possible if you're patient guys. No I'm not trying to sell any products. Any of the places like Thunders Place or MOS will point you there. Edited February 18, 2020 by RodEnuf Added punctuation and fixed typos for readability.
