3.5 inches when flaccid, about 5 inches ( maybe a little over) when erect. I didn't measure girth. I'm 19. Is it small, medium, or large? Could it grow any more, and could I do an exercise to make it grow anymore?
At 3.5 inches flaccid, you are about average; at 5 inches erect, you are on the low side of average. Your penis may or may not get larger over the next year or three. It seldom changes much once one has fully matured physically. If you were/are a late bloomer, it may grow a bit more. Average erect penis size is about 5-to-6 inches for all adult men. There are some claims that the average is slightly smaller for many of Asian decent and slightly larger for those of African decent. There does certainly seem to be a greater variation among blacks. The problem is that there just aren't enough accurate statistics to prove much of anything. If you are overweight by as much as 25-to-30 pounds, dropping that extra fat will probably "lengthen" your erect penis by up to an inch. The best thing you can do is to keep yourself physically fit (NOT muscle-bound) and healthy with a well-rounded regimen of exercise and a well-balanced diet. You might also learn how to use the "tools" you have. Your penis may be the one that gives you the most pleasure; but your entire body -- and, especially, your brain -- can be put to use in pleasuring your partner. ~ GaySatyr (ABB)
The "standard" for penis measurement (which no one on a porn site ever uses) is the same as the standard for measuring height. Place a ruler on top of your erection such that its base coincides with the root of your penis. Read the measurement that aligns with the tip of your penis without "rolling" the ruler to make the measurement. If your erection is significantly curved, just do the best you can. ~ GaySatyr (ABB)

Thanks. I had been wondering about that. Can you account for the curve using a tape measure as opposed to a ruler? Or would that be cheating?
I think you'd be better served over the long run to put your time and concern into ejaculation control (like being able to release when you Want to, not when you Need to), and other techniques that enhance the experience. Worrying about your size is like worrying about your height; there's not much you can do about it. But you can maximize what you've got with skill. Outside of porn, that'll get you much farther with your partner than physical size ever will.
it's the lower side of average, but as others said: don't worry about it. worry about what you can control... learn to be good in bed by listening to your partners
Agree with Jayo. I might barely be 7 1/2" when I'm really hard but I never really worried about it. There's not much you can do about it. I'm just glad everything works.
I disagree about not being able to do anything about your size. Have you considered using a pump? Penis pumps work, but you have to have at least 15+ minutes a day to devote pumping. You'll see better results if you're uncircumsized. When buying a pump you want a quality pump made of brass with a good pressure gauge and well made acylic cylindars. Just a suggestion.
My objection to penis pumps as an enlargement device stands. They are dangerous. The ONLY way they can enlarge your penis to a size any bigger than it would be normally is by damaging tissue. Your gamble is that the damage is minimal and that your penis will recover without scarring or nerve damage. See: [ invalid url ] and: Google Answers ~ GaySatyr (ABB)
I agree that nerve damage can occur. Some guy's think pumping their junk til they can't handle the pressure anymore is the fastest way to see results, when in fact that's the fastest way to to the ER. I work in a porn shop, and have heard of guys busting blood vessels and causing major damage to their junk by improper use of pumps. I have a Dr. Joel Kaplan pump, and the release valve is convieniently located next to the trigger. Anyway, pumps aren't for everyone. I like my pump, and I like the results I've had with it.
