Penis Size Around the World The global average is 5.5in – the size of the display on an iPhone 6 Plus.

The title of biggest penises in the world goes to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the average is 7.1in, while North Korea comes bottom of the pile with an average penis size of 3.8in.

South America is comfortably the most well-hung continent, with an average of 6.36in.

Only 3 percent of men worldwide are dealing with 8in-plus and only 6 percent actually need extra large condoms.

The data was compiled on EveryoneWeb from a number of different studies.
