It’s important to note that environmental, genetic, and methodological factors can all influence these results. Moreover, data collection in some countries is limited, meaning averages may not reflect the entire population accurately.

Top Countries by Average Penis Length

According to the data, Ecuador ranks first globally with an average erect length of 17.6 cm (6.9″).

Other top-ranking nations include Cameroon, DR Congo, and Venezuela—all above 16.5 cm (6.5″).

These results highlight a notable trend across most of Africa and South America, where multiple countries report measurements over 15 cm.

Countries With the Shortest Reported Averages

On the opposite end, the majority of countries with averages below 11 cm are located in Southeast and East Asia.

Note that many of these countries also have the shortest average heights in the world.

In Laos, for example, the average man is 160.5 cm (5′ 3″), and the average woman is 151.3 cm (5′ 0″).
