	[[~~File:Human penis size chart~~.~~svg\|thumb\|right\|300px\|A chart showing~~ the ~~distribution of human~~ penis ~~sizes~~.]]		The size of the human penis is a subject of significant interest and study within the fields of [[human anatomy]], [[sexual health]], and [[psychology]]. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing penis size, its measurement, and its implications for health and society.

	~~'''Human~~ penis ~~size''' refers to the length and girth of the~~ [[~~human penis~~]]. It is ~~a subject~~ of ~~significant interest and study in~~ the ~~fields of [[human sexuality]]~~, ~~[[medicine]]~~, and ~~[[anthropology]]~~. The ~~size~~ of ~~the human penis can vary widely among individuals~~ and ~~is influenced by a variety of factors~~, ~~including [[genetics]], [[hormones]], and overall health~~.		=== Anatomy and Physiology ===
			The human penis is an external male [[genital organ]] that serves both reproductive and excretory functions. It is composed of three main parts: the root, the body (or shaft), and the glans (or head). The penis contains three columns of erectile tissue: two corpora cavernosa and one corpus spongiosum, which surrounds the urethra.

	=== Measurement ===		=== Measurement ===
	Penis size is typically measured in ~~two states: [[~~flaccid]] and [[erect]]. The most common ~~measurements are:~~		Penis size is typically measured in terms of length and girth. Measurements can be taken in both flaccid and erect states. The most common method for measuring penis length is from the pubic bone to the tip of the glans on the dorsal side. Girth is usually measured at the base or mid-shaft.
	* '''Length''': The distance from the pubic bone to the tip of the glans.
	* '''Girth~~''': The circumference of~~ the ~~penis at its widest point~~.

	=== Average Size ===		=== Average Size ===
	~~Studies~~ have ~~shown that~~ the average erect penis ~~length~~ is approximately 13.12 cm (5.16 inches), and ~~the average erect girth is about~~ 11.66 cm (4.59 inches)~~. Flaccid penis size is more variable and less predictive of erect size~~.		Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the average size of the human penis. According to a comprehensive review published in the [[British Journal of Urology International]], the average erect penis size is approximately 13.12 cm (5.16 inches) in length and 11.66 cm (4.59 inches) in circumference.

	Several factors can influence penis size, including:		Several factors can influence penis size, including genetics, [[hormonal levels]], and overall health. During [[puberty]], testosterone plays a crucial role in the development of the penis and other secondary sexual characteristics.
	* [[Genetics]]: Hereditary factors play a significant role in determining penis size.
	* [[~~Hormones]]: Hormonal~~ levels~~, particularly during puberty, can affect penis growth.~~
	* [[Health]]~~: Overall health~~, ~~including conditions like [[obesity]]~~ and [[~~diabetes~~]], ~~can impact~~ penis ~~size~~ and ~~function~~.

	~~Penis~~ size ~~has significant cultural~~ and ~~psychological implications. In many cultures, larger~~ penis size ~~is often associated with greater masculinity and sexual prowess. This perception~~ can ~~affect an individual's~~ [[self-esteem]] and [[body image]].		There is considerable variability in penis size among individuals. Cultural and societal perceptions of penis size can impact [[self-esteem]] and [[body image]]. It is important to note that penis size does not correlate with [[sexual satisfaction]] or [[fertility]].

	=== Medical Conditions ===		=== Medical Conditions ===

[[Peyronie's disease]] can also alter the size and shape of the penis due to fibrous scar tissue.
	* [[~~Micropenis~~]]~~: A condition where the~~ penis ~~is significantly smaller than average~~.
	* [[Peyronie's disease]]~~: A condition characterized by~~ the ~~development~~ of fibrous scar tissue ~~inside the penis, leading to curved, painful erections~~.
