THE average length of a penis has grown by 25 per cent in the past 30 years, researchers have revealed.
From 1992 to 2021, the average erect member jumped from 4.8inches to 6inches, analysis from US experts found.
However, while you might think this could only be a good thing for men, medics are concerned at the findings.
Writing in the World Journal of Men’s Health, the team at Stanford University said the increase in size could be down to poor diets, sedentary lifestyles and chemicals.
They said these factors could also have a negative impact on fertility.
Professor of Urology at Stanford Medicine, Dr Michael Eisenberg said any overall change in development is concerning.
“Our reproductive system is one of the most important pieces of human biology.
“If we’re seeing this fast of a change, it means that something powerful is happening to our bodies.
“We should try to confirm these findings and if confirmed, we must determine the cause of these changes.”
Medics looked at data on the size of 55,761 men’s penises between 1942 and 2021.
