A global size guide

Humans seem to have a fascination with measuring and comparing their bodies, a practice that both men and women engage in frequently, including when it comes to intimate body parts.

It's always a question about size, isn't it?

Men have certainly been doing it for centuries when it comes to their anatomy. But have you ever wondered how some men measure up to others around the world?

 

Statistics by countries

If you have, then you're in luck. There are statistics collected on the most intimate male measurements for who knows what reasons. But they're helpful for the curious.

Governed by genetics

The size of male anatomy is usually governed by genetics and it mostly doesn't matter if they are large or small, as long as they fulfill their function correctly. But because there are borders somebody obviously made a list ranking the biggest.

 

Comparing and measuring

WorldData.info—a website specializing in the collection of all kinds of data and statisticscreated its own interactive map that compares the average size of men country by country based on a combination of sources that varied from peer-reviewed studies to internet surveys.

=Taking action

Before you dig into the data, though, you should know the measurement format WorldData.info used. The website says measurements were only included if they were from "the root of the shaft to the tip of the glans" and always standing at attention. Nothing was flaccid about any of the measurements... here's a list of the 30 countries.
