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 fro 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.
