Average penis size by country

Every claimed national average in the register, all 119 of them, ranked from the biggest claim down. Next to each one: what the evidence behind it actually is. 88 of the 119 have no locatable study at all.

Which countries have a page of their own?

19 of them, and only where there is something honest to write. Each page carries the claimed figure against the best located study, what was actually measured, the sample size, and what that means for the number you came looking for.

The claim matches a study (7)

Contradicted by the country's own study (12)

How do the advisories work?

Simple arithmetic, honestly labelled. Each country has a claimed mean erect length. If it sits below your measurement, the average local man is smaller than you, and the register recommends the destination. The bigger the margin, the warmer the recommendation. The table below is computed for the world mean of 13.6 cm; for your own margins, use the penis size calculator, which does everything in your browser and shows your list instantly.

All 119 countries, ranked by average penis size

Country names in colour have a page. The evidence column is the same verdict used on the method page, where the full register lists every study, year and sample size.

A positive margin means the average visitor is above the local claimed mean; a negative one means the locals hold the advantage. Positions near zero are, statistically speaking, a fair fight.

Should I trust this ranking?

Only as far as the evidence column deserves, which is the honest answer nobody else prints. The means come from studies of wildly uneven quality: some clinically measured, many self-reported, a great many impossible to locate at all. 28 of the 119 claims trace to a study anyone can read, 3 appear only inside a pooled multinational sample, and 88 have nothing behind them whatsoever. Every source is graded A to D on the method page, and the dataset is described on the data page.

Read the ranking as what it is: a map of where the numbers came from, not a map of anybody's body. The countries at the top of it have the least evidence behind them, and the country with the most measured men on earth sits near the bottom.
