Dear TeenHealthFX,
When you measure your penis, where do you start from? Do you take the ruler and start from the stomach and then measure out?

Dear Where Do You Start When You Measure Your Penis,
Most of the research on penis size has based their standard on measuring the upper side of the penis from the pubic bone to the tip of the penis when erect (including the testicles is cheating!).
There have been many studies on the average penis size. Most penises of fully mature adult males are between four and eight inches when erect. For a teen male whose body is still growing, the average erect penis size is between 2 - 5 inches. This is an average, some males will be larger and some males will be smaller, and this will depend on the person's stage of physical development.
TeenHealthFX's most frequently asked question from its' male users is "Is My Penis Size Normal?" so we have a lot of answers. Please check out TeenHealthFX's responses to these questions to see what is normal and what is not in terms of penis size and testicles: Penis Size, 3-Inch Penis, Can I Make It Bigger?, Average Testes Size, Afraid Penis Is Too Small For Sex and When Does The Penis Grow In Thickness?.
