Normal penis size varies significantly throughout development, with adult length averaging 5.16 inches when erect. During infancy, the average stretched length is 1.4 inches, growing to 2.4 inches by age 5. Throughout puberty (ages 10-17), growth accelerates dramatically, with most reaching adult size by age 16-17. Flaccid adult length averages 3.61 inches, while erect length ranges from 4.7 to 6.3 inches for 95% of men. These measurements come from systematic reviews of over 15,000 men across multiple studies. Significant variation exists within normal ranges, and penis size continues subtle changes into the early twenties as final development completes.
