By Happy Hotwife. Everything here is my opinion and my body. Yes, this is a little bit of Small Penis Humiliation. On purpose. If that is not your thing, close this one with no hard feelings and go read the average size answer on any medical site.
The short version: The biggest study ever done pooled 15,521 men, every one measured by a clinician, not by himself. Average is 5.17 inches long and 4.59 around. If you are near that, you are exactly average, which is the polite word. 85 percent of women say they are satisfied with their partner's size. Two out of three women say they have faked an orgasm at least once. Those are not the same question. One is "are you fine with it." The other is "do you come." Every article stops on the first one. I am asking the second. I am a Size Queen. My minimum is 7.5 with real girth. My husband is bigger than average and still the smallest I will ever go again. None of that is your report card. It is my body and my opinion. But if you actually care whether she comes, and not just whether she says she did, keep reading. There is a door at the end a lot of men are too proud to open.
If you typed "is my penis small" into a search bar at one in the morning, hi. You are not the first tonight. You will not be the last.
Fair warning before you scroll. I am a Size Queen. I have been a Hotwife, out loud and on purpose, since 2016. My husband and I have been together since 1994, and Small Penis Humiliation is a flavor of this life we love to dabble in. I tease him about it at home. I tease my fans about it online. I put it in my songs.

“You are not alone, and you are not less.”
So this is not the nurse version. WebMD is right there if you want to be told you are normal and sent to bed. This is the version from a woman who has actually compared, and who is going to be honest with you in a way I suspect nobody has been. Some of it will sting a little. Some of it, if you are wired a certain way, will do something else entirely. Both are fine. Everything here is my opinion and my body. Your wife's number is hers, and I will tell you how to get it out of her at the end.
Now. Let's look at you.
What is the average penis size?
Average erect length is 5.17 inches and average erect girth is 4.59 inches around, across 15,521 men measured by clinicians (Veale and colleagues, 2015, BJU International).
That study pooled 17 earlier studies, and every man in it was measured by a doctor or nurse, not by himself. That matters, because men round up. Everybody rounds up. The erect numbers come from the smaller group who were measured hard, and it is still the best data anybody has.
About 95 percent of men land somewhere between 3.9 and 6.5 inches erect. By that same curve, roughly 1 man in 10 is over 6 inches. Over 7 is rare, well under 1 in 100. Most men are at or under the 6 inch line.
So if you measured yourself just now (you did, it is fine) and you came in around 5 and a bit, congratulations. You are not small. You are precisely, medically, perfectly average. The little guy is in very good company. Most of the men you know are standing right next to you.
That is not the bad news. That is the warm up.
Does size matter to women?
To some women, including me, yes. The surveys say it matters less than you fear. I say "satisfied" and "coming" are two different words, and the internet only ever asks about the first one.
In 2006, Lever, Frederick and Peplau surveyed 52,031 people for Psychology of Men and Masculinity. 85 percent of women said they were satisfied with their partner's penis size. Only 55 percent of men were satisfied with their own. Nearly half of you, 45 percent, wish you were bigger. Only 14 percent of women said they wished their partner was.
Read that as: women are much kinder about your size than you are. That is true, and it is sweet, and it is the line every article stops on.
I am not going to stop there.
In 2010, Muehlenhard and Shippee published in the Journal of Sex Research that 67 percent of the women in their study who had ever had intercourse had pretended to orgasm at least once. Two out of three. The reasons they gave are the ones you are afraid of. He expected it. She wanted it to be over. She did not want to hurt his feelings. It was a small study of young women, so hold that number loosely.
The next one you do not get to hold loosely. In 2018, Frederick and colleagues looked at more than 52,000 Americans for Archives of Sexual Behavior. 95 percent of straight men said they usually or always orgasm during sex. For straight women it was 65 percent.
| The number | What it says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 85% | of women are "satisfied" with his size | Lever, Frederick and Peplau, 2006 |
| 67% | of women in the study had faked an orgasm at least once | Muehlenhard and Shippee, 2010 |
| 95% vs 65% | straight men vs straight women who usually or always orgasm | Frederick et al., 2018 |
| 18% | of women orgasm from penetration alone | Herbenick et al., 2018 |
So put those side by side. 85 percent of women say they are satisfied with your size. Two out of three have faked it at least once. 95 percent of straight men say they usually or always come. For straight women it is 65 percent.
None of that makes her a liar. It makes "satisfied" a low bar. Satisfied is the polite question. Coming is the real one, and the numbers say a lot of women have been answering the polite one for years.
"Satisfied" is a word women use the way I use it about a Tuesday. It is not a lie. It is just not the word you were hoping for.
