Does Penis Girth Matter?

Many myths surround the importance of how long your penis is or not, but many men miss one important aspect: girth. On the contrary, there is evidence that when comparing length or girth, girth size can matter more than length. There’s a variety of myths behind the size of your genitals and whether it really matters or not.

What is the average penis size?

The average erect penis is about 5.2 inches (13.1 cm) long and 4.6 inches (11.7 cm) around, based on a review of more than 15,000 men measured by health professionals (Veale et al., BJU International, 2015). Self-reported surveys come out higher because people tend to overestimate.

Average Measurements

Flaccid length: 3.6 in. (9.2 cm)
Flaccid girth: 3.7 in. (9.3 cm)
Erect length: 5.2 in. (13.1 cm)
Erect girth: 4.6 in. (11.7 cm)

How to measure accurately: measure length along the top of the erect penis, pressing the ruler into the pubic bone, to the tip. Measure girth with a soft tape around the middle of the shaft.
Where girth comes in: GirthFill® adds between a quarter inch and 2 inches of girth, depending on the amount of filler and anatomy limitations. An inch of added girth takes an average 4.6-inch erect girth to about 5.6 inches. Filler does not add erect length, but it can add up to about half an inch of flaccid length by reducing retraction.

Why Increase Girth Size?

Self-Esteem: The size and increased girth of your penis can help to improve your self-image outside of the bedroom alone.

Confidence: Improving your confidence with a nonsurgical procedure can be a psychological boost, adding a spark of confidence to your everyday life.

Visual Appearance: For some men, they might like the appearance of a girthier penis and the way it rests in their underwear or swim trunks.

Common Myths about Length vs. Girth

Length is More Important: Due to the easy ways one can measure the length of their penis, many men believe that length is the best way to determine how visually impressive your penis is. However, studies have shown that girth, and not length, does more to create an immediate positive impression on a partner.

An Increased Penis Will Automatically Aid Sexual Performance: One very important myth many men believe is that if you have a larger penis you will automatically become a better partner in the bedroom, but this is anything from the truth. Many studies over the years, such as this one from 2005, show that healthy communication, deeper emotional connections, and understanding your partner’s preferences are all far more vital for maximizing pleasure in the bedroom than having a larger penis.

Why Choose Girth Over Length?

Sexual Stimulation: While intimacy, a genuine emotional connection, and technical abilities are the best solutions for better sex, a few studies have shown that when asking if length or girth is more important, girth may be more important to help stimulate sexual friction, helping to create a sensation a “fullness” with increased stimulation and heightened pleasure during intimate experiences.

Urinal Health: While this is not a universal rule, some individuals who have wider urethral passages due to a girthier penis may have an easier time peeing and have fewer issues related to urinary tract health.

Safer Medical Procedures: When comparing girth or length, you have to take into consideration the most common medical procedures you can procure, and for penis lengthening, there are no real viable nonsurgical options, and penis lengthening surgery can be a difficult ordeal taking many weeks to heal, while a girth enhancement can be a relatively simple procedure with minimal downtime.

For those looking to achieve a difference in the physical appearance of their penis, the best solution is penis filler from Lushful Aesthetics. Using a series of safe and tested injections along the length of your penis, the goal of penis filler is to help boost confidence in a patient’s appearance.

How Do Noninvasive Penis Fillers Work?

Although there are no FDA-approved indications for dermal filler use in the penis. Only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers should be used. This can be treated on both the shaft of the penis and the head, allowing you to prioritize one over the other if need be. While this does not increase the length of the penis while erect, it does mean that it will appear larger when flaccid, helping body issues you may have about the size of your penis.
