  • Length: Length refers to the size of the penis along the length, that is, from the base of the penis to the glans.
  • Circumference: Many people confuse circumference with thickness, but they are actually different things. The circumference is measured with a tape measure and is the rounded shape of the penis.
  • Thickness: The thickness is also called the diameter. It is measured with a device called a caliper. In the following image you can see the difference between circumference and thickness (diameter).

The second largest penis known is that of American actor Jonah Falcon, with 34 centimeters in erection and 24 centimeters when flaccid.

Is the size important?

Another of those questions that not only men but also women ask is: "Does size really matter?" Science has also found an answer to this question. According to research published in the Spanish newspaper ABC, the Australian National University (Canberra) found that larger penises seduce heterosexual women. Other research, this time by the University of New Mexico confirms these results.

And as for the thickness? Studies have also found results that claim it is more important than length, at least in one-night stands. According to the University of California (UCLA) in Los Angeles, women prefer men with a wider limb for an occasional affair. Now, when it comes to a relationship, the same study shows that it is no longer so important. This research involved 41 women who were asked to examine different penis models and choose their favorite.
