Irish men fall well behind the biggest players in a global study of penis sizes.
Health researchers claim the average worldwide erect penis size is 5.5in (14.10cm), with the average size in Ireland standing in 70th place globally at 5.03in (12.78cm).
The new figures make Ecuador poll toppers with 6.93in (17.61cm), followed closely by countries like Cameroon, Bolivia, Sudan, Haiti, and Senegal.

Cambodia (3.95in or 10.04cm) comes last in the list of 86 countries that have been researched by men’s healthcare company From Mars.
After Cambodia are countries like Taiwan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, and Bangladesh.
A spokesperson for From Mars said: “Penis size often plays on the minds of men, with many wondering if theirs is too small, too thin or even too big.
“Irish men can now finally see what the average penis size is around the world.
“The research has revealed that the average erect penis size in Ireland is 5.03in or 12.78cm, which puts the country in position 70 on the global scale.”
He added: “The average erect penis size around the world is 5.5in or 14.10cm.
“Cambodia has been named as the country with the smallest penis size on average at 3.95in or 10.04cm.
“This is 16 places behind Ireland on the global scale.”
Similar research carried out in 2015 for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) clinicians and published in the British Journal of Urology claimed the average worldwide erect penis size was 5.1in (13.12cm).
Another study in 2016 found that the average erect penis size in Ireland is 5.6in (14.22cm).
The Irish Mirror yesterday revealed that the HSE paid €1 million over nine years for 69 men to be fitted with bionic penises, also known as a penile prosthesis, which is a surgically implanted device that can be manually inflated to allow sexual function, according to Freedom of Information records.
Today, men’s healthcare company From Mars has revealed the average penis size based on research carried out in 86 countries around the world.
South Sudan became the 195th country in the world when it was created in 2011.
The research by From Mars is based on data provided by men.
A spokesperson for From Mars said: “This data relies on self-reporting, so all the figures should be taken with a healthy dose of scepticism.”
