Thanks very much for your question.
Actually, what you describe is totally normal. The average erect penis length in humans is about 5 inches. Flaccid length varies widely. This is known as the "grower" versus "show-er" phenomenon: some men have short flaccid penises and others have longer flaccid penises. The shorter ones are growers and the longer ones are show-ers. Fortunately, the only thing that matters during intercourse is the erect penis length... and yours is perfectly normal.
