My penis; is it normal?

Unread post by colebrown123476 »

I'm just wondering if my penis is normal. I feel like when I get changed in change rooms everyone states at it and it makes me uncomfortable. Like is it small? Big? Average? Soft, it's about 6 inches long and idk 5 maybe a bit more inches girth. Erect it is 8 inches long and 6.5 inches girth. It is very veiny and gets a little girthier at the base. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi cole! Welcome to the boards. If I were to put it simply, there isn't a "normal" or "acceptable" penis size. Everyone's penis--when they have them--is different! I wonder if this article can help with answering your question; would you read it and let us know what you think after you do? Shown Actual Size: A Penis Shape & Size Lowdown

That article is helpful. I know penis sizes can vary and everyone's is normal in their own respect. But it sounds like my penis is pretty large. About 2+ inches longer and about 2+ inches girthier when erect. And I'm not even done growing. That relieves some stress and anxiety for me. But I still feel uncomfortable when people stare at it in the locker room. I guess I should be proud. Anyways, my penis is big?

Hi cole. We are not going to answer whether your penis is big or not because we already sent you an article that states the average adult penis size, so if you need to compare, you can use those numbers. However, I encourage you not to compare your penis to other people's, since it doesn't really matter whether it's big or small compared to others. It isn't a contest, so there's nothing to particularly be proud of, it's just a body part - and as you start dating and being sexually active, you'll see people don't actually care. If you keep reading down on that article we sent, you'll see more discussions around larger penis sizes, hopefully that's helpful as well!
