America’s penises are falling short compared to other penises of the world, according to a map which has ranked sizes per country across the world.

While it’s not a competition, the male battle of the bulge is a tale as old as time.

‘Size matters’ reportedly matters more to men than women, and men are also more likely to care about girth and circumference too.

Yet both American and British men may be disappointed to learn their penises don’t quite live up to the tall order when compared to other countries.

A map compiled by Data Pandas, an online library of various datasets like health, the economy and demographics, has lifted the lid on the biggest and the smallest penises around the globe – and the US and UK don’t even come within an inch of the top 10 or even top 50.

According to the data, the average penis length when erect in the US is 14.15cm (a little more than five-and-a-half inches), bagging position number 68 on the global rankings chart.

Many of America’s peers storm much higher ahead, including Australia, which ranked at number 20 with 6.18 inches, and the Netherlands (6.14 inches), France (6.06 inches), Sweden (6.04 inches), Belgium (5.96 inches), Austria (5.78 inches), Germany (5.70 inches), the UK (5.62 inches) and Switzerland (5.61 inches).

New Zealand also scored in impressive position 16 on the world map with an average of 6.21 inches.

Shockingly, one major country to score even lower than the US was Canada, which plummeted to position number 74 with an average penis size of 5.48 inches.

Yet all of the above still pale in comparison to the world-leaders in length: Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which scored first and second for average penis sizes 7.06 inches and 7.05 inches respectively, followed by Ecuador in third place with an average of 6.92 inches.

The countries with the largest reported penis sizes hail from South America, Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East while Southeast and East Asia dominate the bottom end of the scale for the smallest penises.

Thailand came bottom of the list at number 142 with an average penis size of 3.71 inches, though North Korea and Cambodia weren’t far off (3.77 inches and 3.87 inches respectively).

Data Pandas created its ranking system based on a 2014 BJUI report on flaccid and erect penile size measurements where researchers reviewed sample sizes recorded of around 50 participants per country.

Men with erectile dysfunction, congenital or penile abnormalities, and men who had complained of having a small penis were excluded from the study, though many of the measurements were self-reported, meaning there is a possibility that men could’ve exaggerated their sizes.

Still, the science comes as only 21 percent of 375 women considered length to be important in one study – compared to men who are more likely to want a larger size and will even lie about it, according to separate research.

Doctors have issued a warning over ‘summer penis’ and reveal who may be most at risk of it.

If you’ve heard about what happens to your manhood in the winter (‘winter penis’), you might be surprised to hear the summer months can also present some problems down there as it’s not just the cold that can wreak havoc on intimacy.

It all comes down to temperature, as doctors claim some men might experience shrinkage of up to 50 percent in length when exposed to air temperature below 60°F.

And with the summer heat and hike in mercury, it can make the penis seem slightly larger or fuller, which doesn’t sound so bad.

But a doctor has revealed three key reasons why blokes may experience difficulties in the bedroom during the summer months.

Medics say the phenomenon of ‘summer penis’ is a simple biological reaction to the heat as blood vessels expand instinctively to help cool us down.

Essentially, while the temperature heats up, our sexual activity in the bedroom could be a little less spicy as a result.

Doctor Donald Grant, a GP and senior clinical advisor at The Independent Pharmacy, told The Daily Mail that warm weather can pose ‘many health conditions’ and ‘exacerbate symptoms’ like erectile dysfunction (ED).

Dehydration reduces blood volume

Dr Grant explained: “One of the main ways warmer weather can affect ED symptoms is through dehydration.

“When we become dehydrated, our bodies reduce blood volume, making it more difficult for men with penile issues to achieve and maintain an erection.”

Fatigue and lack of sleep reduce testosterone

Another issue is likely to come from fatigue and tiredness, not only brought on by a lack of sleep from the tossing and turning in the heat at night but from a biological perspective too.

“The warmer weather forces our bodies to work harder to maintain a safe internal temperature, which can often trigger fatigue,” he continued.

“Poor sleep can have a direct impact on hormone production, limiting the amount of testosterone produced, which, in turn, worsens ED symptoms and makes achieving an erection more difficult.”

Beer garden booze lowers blood pressure

To cool down, many of us might be inclined to reach for a nice chilled alcoholic beverage, which can also have a detrimental side effect on the genitals.

He explained: “[A]lcohol can have an extremely negative impact on ED symptoms, lowering blood pressure and affecting blood flow to the gentile area.

“Long-term, unhealthy alcohol consumption can damage nerves and blood vessels, further impacting men with this condition.”

Meanwhile, doctor Bhavini Shah, a GP at LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor, told the news outlet that stress plays a big part in ED.

“Chronic stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions can make it harder to get and keep an erection,” she said.

“When we’re stressed or anxious, our body releases hormones that can affect the blood vessels responsible for erections.

“Stress and anxiety can also make us lose interest in sex and have difficulty concentrating. Plus, these negative feelings can make us turn to unhealthy habits like smoking or drinking alcohol, which can make ED worse.”

Changing the size of a penis is a hot topic, with many wanting to know the answer. But does it really work?

Apparently, so.

A surgeon who specializes in sexual health once explained that you can immediately tell if a man is well-endowed by looking at his nose.

She once said: “There’s one study — it’s a Japanese study where they looked at only Japanese men so there are some limitations — but they measured all these body parts and penile length and they found was that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot.”

It’s a cool theory, but I’m not going to stare at people’s noses and try to guess lengths.

Now, the doctor is sharing secrets about how to enlarge that area.

Dr. Rena Malik explained on the Diary of a CEO podcast this month that there are a lot of ways men will try to lengthen their areas, specifically pumps.

However, she explained that method they just doesn’t work.

Considering a pump is a vacuum, it simply gives the appearance of a large penis by increasing the blood flow to the area.

But it’s not the same as getting real results that last longer than a short-term fix.

In fact, there are actually dangers that can come with trying to enlarge them, and although she wishes men had similar options available to them as women do for enlarging their breasts, it’s just not feasible right now.

Though, there is one way that’ll bring in an extra couple of inches.

She explained that a traction device could be the answer.

Malik said: “These are devices that are made for penile lengthening but they’re also made for men who have something called Peyronie’s disease.”

Peyronie’s disease is when scar tissue causes curved, painful erections.

Now, while traction devices won’t bring in crazy results overnight, they can give you two inches.

However, she also warned that men would need to use them for eight hours a day and for months to see those results.

That’s because it stretches the skin and needs to be done consistently and slowly.

She said it could take months with only 2 inches of length added. (YouTube/ DiaryofaCEOclips)

If you’re seriously looking into a penis enlargement, another expert wants you to know that your size is perfect.

Dr. Jen Caudle on TikTok explained that people need to alter their expectation of penis sizes to destroy the thought that ‘size matters’ to anyone.

It really doesn’t matter. At all.

She explained in the clip: “The average size of a flaccid penis is 3.6 inches, and the average size of an erect penis is 5.17 inches. Did you know that?

“It’s actually shorter than I think a lot of people would imagine.”

A surgeon and sexual health expert has revealed the body part visible to everyone that exposes the size of someone’s penis.

There has long been believe that looking at an individual’s hands and feet indicate the size of a man’s manhood.

However, the idea is very much an age-old tale, and it’s apparently another body part that indicates how big or small a man’s penis is.

Dr. Rena Malik appeared on the Diary of a CEO podcast earlier this year, where she put to bed rumors lads with bigger feet have a bigger penis.

However, the surgeon explained how there is another body part that could link to the size of one’s manhood.

“There’s one study — it’s a Japanese study where they looked at only Japanese men so there are some limitations — but they measured all these body parts and penile length and they found was that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot,” she explained.

The expert didn’t go further on whether she has seen or even been involved in studies linking nose and penis size, though she did say to have seen an increase in man concerned about the size of their penis.

Malik said that a survey done with 50,000 heterosexual men found 45 percent were unhappy with the way their penis looks.

Despite that, 85 percent of their partners said they were ‘satisfied’ with the size of their willies.

Elsewhere in the interview with podcast host Steven Bartlett, Malik spoke about how much sex a couple should be having.

She said: “There’s no ideal number, but when you look at studies which have looked at large numbers of people, people who are in partnered relationships are having sex about once a week on average.

“If they’re in partnered relationships where sex is always available, but it’s so variable person to person.

“What I really like to say is it’s not the quantity of sex that matters, it’s the quality of sex.

“If you’re having good sex once a month that may be sufficient for you rather than having mediocre of bad sex four times a month, or 10 times a month even.

“Ultimately there’s no right number, it’s really what’s right for you and I think focusing on some benchmark of sex is actually harmful because now you’re like ‘I need to have sex this many times.'”
