See below: While results vary across studies, the consensus is that the mean human penis is approximately 12.9–15 CM (5.1–5.9 in) in length with a 95% confidence interval of (10.7 cm, 19.1 cm) (or, equivalently, 4.23 in, 7.53 in). The consensus on typical circumference is 12.3 CM (4.85 in), requiring a diameter of roughly 3.9 CM (1.54 in) when fully erect. Patricio gargollo, pediatric urology, dallas texas.

About 5-6 inches: On average the erect penis is about 5 -6 inches long. Like most things in life the size of a penis in a population follows a bell shaped curve. The vast majority are in the middle and a few are on the low side and a few are on the high side. Also the unerect size doesn't always correlate with the erect size. Sometimes good things come in small packages.

Hard to say: I mean, difficult. Depend on how you come about measuring. Don't know if that is the right question anyway. Maximum sex is achieved long before the bedroom, more like what happens in the kitchen is what matters most. A smile & kind word, a soft glance, relieving her stress, better grooming, the right scent, helping with dishes/house chores, non-sexual touch hours before, look long into her eyes

Five inches erect: Numbers vary; this was from a urology journal that i saw a few years back. If you have 3" or more, you can give and receive satisfaction from the vast majority of women. A smaller guy gets harder and has an easier time stimulating her best nerve endings, which are at the front; he won't be incompatible with most women. Don't let the internet skew your idea of how your body should look. Be you.

Penis size: These are usually measurements when one is erect. The size of a flaccid penis can vary widely. I think the current U.S. Erect penis is about 4.5 inches.
If you are sixteen you may still have a bit of growing.
Hope that helps.

Here are some ...: Ethnic variation in penile length at erection does exists but not clinically significant in function so that interracial marriages have flourished over time. The average penile length at erection is about 4.75 - 6 inches (+/- 0.75 inches), but may widely vary among all men in various races. Besides, studies showed penile length has not been the sole deciding factor for a happy sex life.
