Evaluation of average penis length and the thoughts of Turkish men and partners. Is surgery necessary?

Evaluación de la longitud promedio del pene y los pensamientos de los hombres y parejas turcos. ¿Es necesaria la cirugía?

The purpose of this study was to determine the average penis length and girth among the Turkish population, and to analyse the perspectives of couples. A total of 1703 males and 139 female partners participated in this study. All the participants completed a questionnaire and the flaccid and stretched penis length and girth were recorded. The results showed that the average flaccid penis length was 8.44 ± 2.28 cm and 12.27 ± 2.91 cm stretched, with girth of 8.23 ± 2.07 cm. Regarding the importance of penis size for a satisfying sexual experience, 18.5% of men thought penis length mattered, 9.9% considered thickness important, and 71.6% thought both were significant. A majority of participants, 67.8% of males and 76% of females, expressed that erect penis length was crucial for sexual pleasure. For a healthy sexual intercourse, 19.4% of the female partners emphasized the significance of penis length, 23.7% highlighted thickness, and 56.8% emphasized both factors for a fulfilling sexual relationship. A comparison between men’s stretched penis length and the ideal length for partner satisfaction revealed no statistically significant difference (13 (4.8–21) cm vs. 12 (8–20) cm, p = 0.078). The average penis length and girth of Turkish males were found to be similar to the data in studies of this subject in literature. Both the males and their partners thought that erect penis length and girth were important for sexual intercourse. The males considering penis lengthening and thickening procedures should know whether or not their own penis is close to the average values, to avoid undergoing unnecessary surgeries.

Resumen

El propósito de este estudio fue determinar la longitud y el grosor promedio del pene en la población turca y examinar las opiniones de las parejas. Este estudio incluyó a 1703 hombres y a 139 mujeres. A todos los participantes se les administró un cuestionario y se registraron la longitud y el grosor del pene flácido y estirado. La longitud del pene se determinó en 8.44 ± 2.28 cm flácido y 12.27 ± 2.91 cm estirado, con una circunferencia de 8.23 ± 2.07 cm. Para una relación sexual saludable, el 18.5% de los hombres pensaba que la longitud del pene, el 9.9% pensaba que el grosor del pene y el 71.6% pensaba que ambos eran importantes. La longitud del pene en erección era importante para la satisfacción sexual de los hombres, lo afirmó el 67.8% de los participantes, y el 76% de las mujeres afirmó que era importante para la satisfacción sexual de las mujeres. Para una relación sexual saludable, el 19.4% de las parejas femeninas pensaban que la longitud del pene, el 23.7%el grosor del pene y el 56.8% la longitud y el grosor del pene eran importantes. Cuando se compararon las longitudes del pene estirado de los hombres con las longitudes ideales del pene para la satisfacción de la pareja, no se encontró ninguna diferencia significativa (13 (4.8–21) cm frente a 12 (8–20) cm, p = 0.078). Se encontró que la longitud y el grosor promedio del pene de los hombres turcos eran similares a los datos de los estudios sobre este tema en la literatura. Tanto los hombres como sus parejas pensaban que la longitud y el grosor del pene en erección eran importantes para las relaciones sexuales. Los hombres que planean someterse a procedimientos de alargamiento y engrosamiento del pene deben saber si su propio pene está cerca de los valores promedio, para evitar someterse a procedimientos quirúrgicos innecesarios.
