Comparing Average Penis Size Around the World
How does average penis size vary across different countries?
This data visualization, sourced from Visual Capitalist’s Marcus Lu, depicts the global differences in average erect penis length, showcasing a ranking of 142 countries.
The information for this graphic was gathered by Data Pandas, combining data from Veale et al. (2014), Lynn (2013), and other public health surveys to present average erect penis lengths by country, listed in both centimeters and inches for comparison.
| Country | Length in cm | Length in Inches |
|---|---|---|
| 🇦🇫 Afghanistan | 13.7 | 5.4 |
It’s important to consider that various factors such as environment, genetics, and data collection methods can impact these findings. Additionally, limited data collection in certain countries may result in averages that do not fully represent the entire population.
Top Countries by Average Penis Length
According to the data, Ecuador holds the top spot globally with an average erect length of 17.6 cm (6.9″).
Other leading nations include Cameroon, DR Congo, and Venezuela, all exceeding 16.5 cm (6.5″).
These findings reveal a distinct pattern across many countries in Africa and South America, where multiple nations report measurements surpassing 15 cm.
Countries With the Shortest Reported Averages
In contrast, a majority of countries with averages below 11 cm are situated in Southeast and East Asia.
It’s noteworthy that many of these countries also rank among the shortest average heights globally.
For instance, in Laos, the average male height is 160.5 cm (5′ 3″), while the average female height is 151.3 cm (5′ 0″).
