How Big should My Penis be?

by Chess Mc Doogle

A common question many males ponder is, "how big should my penis be". This can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure out what optimal penis size should be and where you fit in. There are two ways to measure, and one way to increase your size if your not happy.

The 2 ways to measure penis size:

1. Flacid size. This refers to the penis being in a "normal" state. That is, non-erect. Now flacid size can vary throughout the day or during certain circumstances. For instance, it's very common for all men to exit a cold shower or cold pool, and their members will drastically decrease in size. These size variations can fluctuate to lesser degrees throughout the day based on the different conditions the body is exposed to.

The important thing to remember about flacid size, is that even if you feel it looks "small", your erect size may be just as large as someone who has a larger flacid size. The two don't always translate over.

2. Erect size. This is obviously the size that occurs when you are erect. Many guys wondering "how big should my penis be" often refer to erect size. This is the more important of the two sizes, as obviously this relates to sexual intimacy. There are all kinds of estimates on what should be considered "average". Often it is around 4.5 -5.5 inches that is said to be average size.

So then, you are still asking yourself, "how big should my penis be"? Well, the answer is it should be as big as you want it to be. If you are comfortable with average size, then that's fine. If you want to increase your size then you should look into safe methods for size increases.

How can I increase my size safely?

The safest and most effective method for size increase is doing exercises for the penis. Certain exercises performed on the penis will increase blood flow without becoming totally erect. After repeated practice, this in turn begins to increase greatly the size of the penis.
