Longer than most!: While there is variation, according to a study published in the British Journal of Urology International (BJUI) that looked at data from 17 studies, the average length of a flaccid penis is 3.61 inches, while the average length of an erect penis is 5.16 inches See https://www.healthline.com/health/mens-health/average-penis-size#research
