It depends, Lil Winkie,

Did you measure it erect or flaccid?

The results from three studies of penis size where the measurements were taken in a laboratory setting give the following ranges:

Average penis length (flaccid/not erect): from 3.4 inches to 3.7 inches (8.6 cm to 9.3 cm)

Average penis length (erect): from 5.1 inches to 5.7 inches (12.9 cm to 14.5 cm)

Average penis girth (circumference when erect): from 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches (8.8 cm to 10 cm)

OTOH, We also have to take ethnicity into consideration. Males of East Asian ethnicity are slightly smaller than males with Scandinavian ethnicity; the stereotype of the African-American penis being the largest also does not hold true.

Men have always had concerns with penis size, much more so than women. Personally, I believe that penis size is very unimportant in the larger scope of things, punnily speaking . It's how you use it that matters the most. Of course, if you are huge to the point of always having to be careful with your big stick, it could get a little bothersome. If the woman is not completely lubricated from excitement or simply has a long cervix that dips down, a large penis can create pain if going at it with force. In that sense, maybe the bias would go toward smaller rather than larger. On the other hand, plenty of women get excited enough to accommodate a big baguette. It's all very personal and very indvidual!

many providers have told me that they enjoy and will perform felatio much more with a smaller appendage than with the better endowed clients, for reasons that should be obvious.

It's an ill wind that blows no good.

Ok, now I'm really curious.. gotta go find me a tape measure for the girth. I always measured my width with a flat ruler. Well, I was often told I was big but now I have something quantitative to compare too, thanks!

Yes I did find a tape measure, and thought about my favorite provider (heh heh), and voila...
about 5.5", wrapped around fairly tight fitting. Oh, you didn't care to know? Sorry. So is there a probability distribution plot I can find for girth? I tried googling but there's only so much searching on that I can do at work.

I thought my wife was very tight thus sometimes needing a lot of lubrication but now I wonder if it's MY problem. I already found I need to use the magnum condoms, a lot of regular ones seem way too tight to even roll on, plus getting over the head, a little wider there..lol....(hmm, maybe I need to study more the anatomy of the penis so I get my terms right..)

Too big for whom, Confoozed,

The average girth is 4.84 inches, according to the Kinsey Institute. Obviously, 5.5 is bigger than average in girth. Now it depends on the recipient of this particular penis. If the female gets very aroused, her muscles will relax, she will get very lubricated, and she will accommodate you without a problem.
