When limp, the typical human penis is just 3.6 inches, in both length and girth. (Well, it's more of a spongy mound at that point, isn't it?)

But apparently only about 2.3% of men have an abnormally small member—the same percentage as guys who are abnormally well endowed.

Of course, the researchers admit their results may be skewed by the possibility that only men with decent sized manhoods would volunteer to be measured.

Participants, who raged in age from 17 to 91, were measured by professionals in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. It's worth No correlating was determined between penis size and race—or with  foot size, nose size. finger length or any other physical feature.
