Man's Never-Ending Quest to Have the Biggest Penis in the World

Penis size is a fixation among many men, the mindset being "the bigger the better." Having a small penis can cause a man to feel insecure, inadequate, and unattractive. It's no wonder then that a whole industry has emerged to cater to many men's desire to have the biggest penis in the world, or if not that, at least a substantial increase from what they were born with.

Technically speaking, the distinction of having the biggest penis in the world belongs to the blue whale with its 11-foot organ. In terms of the human race, a study conducted by a 19th-century French surgeon who went by the pseudonym Jacobus showed that the Muslim Sudanese had the largest penises, measuring nearly a foot long and two inches wide. Another study performed in the 1960s by English physician Robert Chartham classified penis size according to race. According to his findings at the time, the English had the largest penises, followed by the Germans, blacks, the French, the Danish, Americans, and the Swedish.

The most scientific way to go about it would be to undergo phalloplasty, or penile surgery. However, this is not recommended except in the most extreme cases since -- as with all other kinds of surgery -- there is a risk of infection and failure. Plus, surgery is very expensive. Another option is to use penis enlargement devices that work on the principle of traction. These devices, which are worn on the penis for a certain period of time, stretch the penis to increase blood storage capacity and replicate tissues. Many men also perform exercises, such as jelqing, which they believe will give them the biggest penis in the world. What about those advertisements in the back pages of magazines, the ones that hawk pills that promise larger penises? These ads should be taken with a grain of salt. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a penis simply cannot be made larger by popping any pill. And devices such as penis pumps can do more harm than good.

Men who are overly concerned about penis size probably shouldn't be. According to the Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for Sex Research, the average penis length is around six inches while the average girth is around four and a half inches. Also, surveys show that most women think that men are overly hung up on how well-hung they are. In fact, penis size isn't considered important in how women judge a man's lovemaking. Having the biggest penis in the world may be impossibility; but being realistic, self-confident and content with what one has is.
