OK, DFWTraveler, mentioned average length, which made me wonder...what is average, so here is some info I found...the info was compiled by lifestyles condoms in research to make sure they were creating properly sized condoms. which was a little suprising I would not have considered myself above average, but have always had nice comments when erect...I thought they were just being cordial... Porn stars with a 11" coke can have ruined mens perception of what a good size dick is...but you still have to know how to write your name!!! (not the size of the pen but the penmanship)
Studies on penis size
While results vary across studies, the consensus is that the
mean human penis is approximately 12.9–15
cm (5.1–5.9
in) in length with a 95%
confidence interval of (10.7 cm, 19.1 cm) (or, equivalently, 4.23 in, 7.53 in).
[6][7][8] The typical girth or
circumference is approximately 12.3 cm (4.85 in) when fully
erect. The mean penis size is slightly greater than the
median size. Contrary to popular belief, there is no scientific relation between penis size and race.

Erect circumference
- The Cancún LifeStyle study, in which the circumference of the shaft was measured at three points (base, mid-shaft, and just below the head) and then averaged, found an average of 12.63 cm (4.972 inches) with a standard deviation of 1.3 cm (0.5 in).[8]
Similar results exist regarding studies of the
circumference of the adult fully
erect penis, with the measurement taken mid-shaft.[
citation needed] As with length, studies that relied on self-measurement consistently reported a significantly higher average than those with staff measuring.
Flaccid length
One study found the mean flaccid penis length to be 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) (measured by staff).
[6] A review of several studies have shown average flaccid length to be 9–10 cm.
[12] Length of the flaccid penis does not necessarily correspond to length of the erect penis; some smaller flaccid penises can grow much larger, and some larger flaccid penises cannot grow much larger.
