So what is really the average?
Average size of a man's member is one of the most-asked questions on the Internet. Its only natural for males of any age to wonder if their penises are of normal size, or whether they are below or above average. It also influences their confidence and self-esteem to a very large degree.
To date, thousands of studies have been performed by various doctors, medical institutions and condom companies. While most of these studies varied in terms of the methods employed, the results produced were very similar. The average penis length is 6.2 inches and circumference (girth) is 5.4 inches.
Are penis size and race related?
All black men are huge down below. Their Asian counterparts have been handed the short end of the stick. White guys are anywhere between 2 and 8 inches long. Right? Well, not exactly.
World Health Organization has sponsored multipe studies on men of various ethnicities before issuing their condom size specifications. While there are small differences in size between black, caucasian and asian males, they are statistically small. The WHO specifications feature condom widths (not to be confused with circumference) of 5.3 cm for Africa, 5.2 cm for Europe and 4.9 cm for Asia.
Link between height and penis size
Short and simple, no. Penis size is not subject to the same rules of nature as bones and muscles, which have to match the overall body proportions in order to maintain erect posture and sustain the weight of the body. Just like ears and nose, its an appendage that has nothing to do with height. This has been confirmed by scientific research, most notably a 2002 study by the British Journal of Urology.

What penis size do women prefer?
Finding out the average penis size is actually not that hard - after all, its pure statistics. The tricky part is figuring out what women actually prefer. While for the majority of men, there is very little correlation between penis size and pleasure derived from a sexual act, the situation is actually quite different on the other side of the gender divide. Julia from New York shared her frustrations in this recent letter to a women's magazine:
"My boyfriend is a caring and wonderful person and we have a lot in common. Our relationship is great except for one very embarassing problem - I just can't feel him inside of me when we are having sex. There's no contact with my clitoris and very little contact with the walls of my vagina. I know he tries really hard to please me but I just can't feel his penis."
"It really makes me feel like less of a woman, despite the fact that I used to be able to reach orgasm in 5-7 minutes with my previous boyfriends. I don't know what to think or do and the whole situation is making me so embarassed and upset. We get along great, everything else is amazing between us and its killing me to think that our relationship might fall apart because of this embarassing problem."
"I try to tell myself that size doesn't matter (his cock is about 5 inches long and quite thin) but then again, don't I deserve to lead a fulfilling sex life? Please help me, there's got to be something that can be done about this."
Fortunately, there are many things that can be done about Julia's problem. While the traditional pumps and some dubious "enlargement" pills have proven to be useless when it comes to fixing the problem, there are effective ways to increase the length and girth of a man's penis without corrective surgery. A number of penis health exercises and mechanical stretching devices have all proven to effectively increase the size of a man's pride, along with improved control and better erections.
With the right kind of tools, help & commitment, Julia's boyfriend can turn things around and make all of her previous boyfriends pale in comparison. All he needs is dedication, perseverance and a little faith in himself.
