How does the average penis length vary by country? This infographic presents a global comparison of average erect penis size, ranking 142 countries worldwide based on available data. The visual map makes it easy to see regional patterns and differences across continents.
Data Sources and Methodology
The data used in this visualization was compiled by Data Pandas and is based on multiple reputable sources, including Veale et al. (2014), Lynn (2013), and other publicly available health surveys. To improve clarity and accessibility, all measurements are shown in both centimeters and inches.
It’s important to understand that average penis size data can be influenced by many factors, such as genetics, environmental conditions, cultural differences, and data collection methods. In several countries, limited sample sizes or inconsistent reporting mean that the averages may not fully represent the entire population.


Countries With the Largest Average Penis Length
According to the compiled data, Ecuador ranks first globally, with an average erect penis length of 17.6 cm (6.9 inches). Other countries with high reported averages include Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Venezuela, all exceeding 16.5 cm (6.5 inches).
Overall, the results show a noticeable trend in parts of Africa and South America, where multiple countries report average erect lengths above 15 cm.
Countries With the Shortest Reported Averages
At the lower end of the ranking, most countries with average lengths below 11 cm are located in Southeast Asia and East Asia. Interestingly, many of these countries also rank among those with the shortest average heights globally, which may influence proportional measurements.
For example, in Laos, the average male height is 160.5 cm (5′3″), while the average female height is 151.3 cm (5′0″).
Key Takeaway
While global penis size comparisons are widely searched and discussed, they should be interpreted with caution. Averages do not define individuals, and variations within countries are often greater than differences between countries.
