How do measurement techniques (stretched vs erect, intracavernosal injection vs natural) change pooled penis size estimates in meta‑analyses?

Stretched (stretched , SFL) measurements tend to track closely in pooled analyses and are often treated as the practical proxy for erect size in meta‑analyses, but technique choice still shifts pooled...

What are the typical penis girth distributions and how would a 6.75‑inch girth rank?

A large, clinician‑measured meta‑analysis places average erect penile girth at 11.66 cm (4.59 inches), and multiple reporting outlets emphasize that extreme values are uncommon . There is no universal...
