A recent study has shown that the average length of an erect penis has increased by 24% over the past three decades. The research, published in The World Journal of Men’s Health, analyzed data from 75 studies conducted between 1942 and 2021 that examined the penile length of 55,761 men. The study found that the average erect penis length had increased by 24% over 29 years, a trend that was seen globally.
The average length of an erect penis was about 5.5 inches across all regions and decades. The decline in sperm quality and testosterone levels over the last few decades prompted Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a professor of urology at Stanford Medicine, to investigate the trend.
Eisenberg believes the increase in penile length may be due to environmental exposures, such as environmental pollutants or increasing sedentary lifestyles, which are causing reproductive-related changes. Although penile length may not be directly related to fertility, it is fundamental to human existence and thus something that should be examined.
Eisenberg suggests that the change in length might be due to earlier puberty. Boys, like girls, have been reaching puberty earlier in recent years, which may give their bodies more time to grow overall.
The causes of this trend are not clear, but researchers have suggested that chemical exposure to pesticides or hygiene products may be disrupting hormonal systems. Chemical exposure has also been proposed as a cause for earlier puberty in both boys and girls, which can affect genital development.
Further research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the cause of the changes. Eisenberg emphasizes that the significant increase in penis length over the last three decades suggests that something powerful is happening to our bodies, and we need to understand what it is.
