When it comes to the size of the male genitalia or the size of the penis, real men like us probably won’t back down because most men place considerable importance on size, all wanting to have a reasonably large penis.
Many people probably don’t dare to measure their size because they fear their penis might be small and short, feeling embarrassed in front of male friends or women. Many even seek various aids to increase the size of their penis for confidence.
In fact, 50–60% of men don’t know their penis size because they have never learned how to measure it or what the standard size is. Some just want a bigger size first. So today, Dr. Beer has the answers for everyone to know how to measure the length and girth of the penis, and what is considered a standard size. Let’s take a look…
Of course, many men care about penis size because it has become a standard for exciting sexual intercourse and affects men’s confidence. But most men might not know how to measure their penis size or have never been sure what their actual size is.
When choosing protection, they might not know what condom size to use. If it’s too small, the condom might break; if too loose, it might slip off. This can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies.
How to measure penis size?
1. Measure with a ruler
This method measures the length of the penis. Although measuring girth is more important, knowing the exact length helps boost confidence and can be used to improve bedroom skills to please your partner.
- First, get the penis fully erect.
- Place the ruler at the base of the erect penis against the pubic bone.
- Hold the penis along the ruler gently so they are aligned.
- Measure the distance from the base to the tip to see how many inches long it is.
- If the penis is curved, measure along the curve.
2. Measure with a measuring tape
This method can measure penis size most accurately using a measuring tape available in the market, though you might need to do some calculations with a calculator.
- Get the penis fully erect.
- Choose the thickest part and wrap the measuring tape snugly around it, not too tight or loose.
- Once you have the girth measurement (in millimeters), divide the result by 2.3 to get the actual size.
For example, if you measure the girth of the erect penis as 120 mm, divide by 2.3 to get 52.17. When buying condoms, you should choose size 52 mm because condoms can stretch a bit, making this size comfortable to use.
What is the standard size of the penis?
After getting your own size, many want to know if theirs is short, average, or longer than the standard. A survey of men over 17 years old from various countries worldwide (50 men per country) found the average erect penis length is 5 inches or about 13 cm, with an average girth of 4.5 inches or about 11.5 cm.
For Thai men, according to the Department of Medical Services and data from LADbible published on April 18, 2022, the average erect penis length is 4.51 inches, ranking 80th out of 86 countries. The global average penis length is 5.5 inches, so Thai men are only about 1 inch shorter than the standard size.
As for which country has the largest penis size, it was found that
Rank 1: Ecuadorian men have the largest size, averaging 6.93 inches when fully erect.

Penis size and men’s confidence?
Since penis size is an important factor in creating sexual happiness, it’s no surprise that penis size has become a standard for good sexual intercourse. This causes many men to feel insecure about their penis size, fearing it is small compared to others, leading to loss of confidence in their masculinity or sexual performance.
If men let their minds worry about this for too long, it can negatively affect mental health, increasing the risk of depression, stress, and obsession with penis size alone. These feelings can weaken the body and cause mental or neurological problems in the future.
