Hello,

The penis length on average is 3.6 inches when flaccid and 5.1 inches when it is erect. However, penis size varies in different individuals. An erect penis of 3.94 inches is found in the 5-percentile people. Meaning that 5 out of 100 people would have a penis shorter than 3.94 inches. Penis size does not affect sex life.

A penis doesn’t need to be big to have sex, pee, or for reproduction. Avoid stress (both physical and emotional). Stress and anxiety can make it more difficult to get an erection or climax. Take food that boosts testosterone level so that you have a good sex life. Do regular exercises and maintain healthy weight. You can get clinically examined by a urologist or GP if you want cosmetic surgery to increase the size of the penis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
