There is no such thing as an average penis: every variation of form and structure is represented in the male population. These pictures illustrate some of the variations in erections - all of which are "normal".All pictures from Images of Size, a guide to the penis with hundreds of penis pictures.

It's questionable at what
point a bend becomes so great that it is no longer part of
"normal" variation. Certainly the last 2 penises pictured seems to
have a more acute bend that may be Peyronie's disease.
Erection leans or
bends both up or down and to one side
Some penises do more
than one of these things! About 2.5% bend left and curve up. About
7.4% bend left and look straight from the side. And about 3.7% bend
left and curve down. And just a few bend to the right and
curve up or down.
Angle of erect
penile shaft varies from downwards to upright when man is standing
or sitting
As a
generality, the smaller the penis and the younger the man, the harder and more
upright will be his erection. This may limit the number of sexual positions
a man is able to enjoy; for example, the rear entry sexual position may not
be practical if a man's erection stands hard up against his belly. The more upright
the erection, the less flexible the base of the penis at the point where it
enters the body cavity. Such flexibility can allow greater ease of movements
during intercourse.
Imagine a man standing
upright with an erection. If his erection were vertically upright, that would
be 0 degrees from the vertical. If it were pointing straight out in front of
him, that would be 90 degrees from the vertical, and if it were hanging down
and pointing at the floor, that would be 180 degrees from the vertical. The statistics

Shaft
of penis twists along its length on erection
A
twist along the length of the shaft is less common than a simple bend or
lean to one side on erection, but it is still common enough not to be
considered abnormal. A twist in the shaft may also be associated with hypospadias.
Bends in shaft
Such
bends are often the result of injury, frequently sustained during
intercourse without the man being aware of it. Even very brief pain may indicate
underlying damage that only manifest weeks or months later in penile
bending or twisting as shown below. Such injuries may induce Peyronie's
disease.
Twisting
of head in relation to penis shaft
1
Erect
The twist
of the shaft on erection is a common anomaly. Estimates suggest between 3 and
5% of men have some degree of twisting.
2 Flaccid
The
twist illustrated below is associated with hypospadias, though such an anomaly
may occur without hypospadias being present. In this penis, the raphe runs
at an angle down the length of the penile shaft, representing the true
midline of the shaft. The urethral meatus is apparently displaced to one
side.
Other Penile Variations
Narrowing of the penile shaft as a result of injury
Such injuries usually occur when the penis is engaged in vigorous sex and rams head-on into some hard obstacle. The resulting bleeding in the erectile chambers of the penis causes scar formation; because this scar tissue cannot expand in the same way as the rest of the penile chamber, a constriction develops on erection.
An unusually prominent glans
Some men have a glans which is by far the widest part of their penis. You can see this in the picture below. There is no anatomical or medical significance to this, but such a prominent head can produce very satisfying feelings for a woman during intercourse.
Narrowing of the penile shaft around the base of the glans
This may be natural, or it may be the result of injury. It often occurs in cases of hypospadias.

Whatever you call it, the penis is man’s most vital asset – and size DOES matter (to him anyway).
For years speculation has surrounded what exactly constitutes the average-sized penis.
Until now.
Scientists have revealed the normal trouser snake length when erect is 5.2inches (13.12cm) and 3.6inches (9.16cm) when flaccid.
- I am all man
- So the penis pump is a real thing, right?
The British study was carried out to help clinicians dealing with anxiety disorder Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
More than 15,521 men had their genitals measured across 17 different studies.
Lead author Dr David Veale from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, told MailOnline: ‘Men compare themselves in locker rooms and with pornography on the internet and believe they are inferior.
So where do you measure your penis from?
Penis measuring guidelines on the NHS website read:
‘At some stage, most boys get out a ruler or a tape measure to find out how long their penis is.
‘Dr Delvin says there’s little point in doing this when the penis is limp because the length of a flaccid penis can vary a lot, for example depending on how cold the room is.
‘To get a precise measurement, do it when you have an erection. Take the measurement from the base of the penis on the side nearer to the tummy, up to the tip, where the hole is.’

‘There are lots of men who might be worried – and we think reassuring men they are in the normal range will help.
The research also found there was a small correlation between the erect length of a penis and a man’s height.’
Size is such a big thing for men, though few women really bother about it. we has a good review of the size issue, and what women really think about it. You can also see a lot about penile myths and facts here.)
For the record, therefore:
The average size of a non-erect white adult male penis is 3.4 inches long by 3.9 in girth
The average size of a white male's erection is 5.9 inches long by 5.0 inches around
Over 60 percent of men are between 5 and 6.5 inches long when erect
Almost one man in 15 has an erection less than 5 inches long, and almost one man in ten has an erection about 4 and three quarters inches in length.
The penis can vary from one inch when erect to 12 inches erect, though such huge variations of size are unusual. The smallest flaccid penis is usually the retractile penis, one which has a tendency to retract into the sheath of the foreskin or even the body cavity. Between 1 and 3 % of men have a penis like this. The photos below show some of the penises which fit this category becoming erect: the obvious point being that though they may be very small when flaccid, they can be average size when erect, though this is not always the case.
Many physical conditions which cause stress can reduce the apparent size of the penis due to the drawing in of the muscles which run into the groin - and among the conditions which I have seen implicated in this syndrome are hiatal hernia, acid reflux, back pain, obesity and abdominal injury.
