How Small Is a Small Penis? Think youre smaller than average? Youre probably not. The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. Theres more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis -- an erect penis of under 3 inches. Sometimes Peyronies disease or prostate cancer surgery can reduce a guys size. But studies show that most of the guys seeking penis enlargement are average-sized. They just think theyre below average. Why? Part of it is perspective. Its very hard to gauge the size of your own penis -- looking down, youve got a bad angle. Psychology plays a role, too. Some average-sized guys become obsessed with the idea that theyre too small. Theres even a psychiatric diagnosis: penile dysmorphic disorder. Its similar to the perceptual distortion of anorexics who think theyre fat no matter how thin they get. According to one study, the majority of men who get penis enlargement surgery have this condition. Theyre also the least satisfied with the results.
