M&J in one of
their studies measured the penis of 3000 males. They found the
largest penis measured 5 1/2 inches. On average most penises are
about 3 3/4 inches long whilst the average phallus is about 6
inches.
Eastern
males generally (on average) have a smaller penis than Western
males.
There is actually
little variation in phallus size whereas there is considerable
variation in penis size; that is to say the smaller penis
extends itself more during an erection than a larger one.
One
in ten men over the age of 40 become impotent at some time.
It is estimated that
one in ten of adult men suffer from long term erectile
dysfunction, some 3,000,000 men in the U.K. alone.
Research
shows that 60% of impotence is psychological, 40% physiological.
300,000 men a year
receive penis implants in the U.S.A
Many
thousands of men a year in the U.S.A. seek psychiatric help for
penis size.
Illnesses, which may
affect erections, include diabetes, M.S., spinal tumour, poor
circulation, kidney or liver failure, heart conditions and major
pelvic surgery.
Drugs
in large doses can also cause erectile conditions - such as
alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, heroine, tranquillisers,
sleeping pills, anti depressants and certain tablets prescribed
for blood pressure, heart conditions and peptic ulcers.
