"   A new study determines that most penises are smaller than we think. This is science because researchers took matters into their own hands (literally). Men were not given the option of measuring their members alone in their bedrooms. Instead, the 300 men studied allowed a doctor to supervise and then measure their erections.  The result: only 1 in 5 men surpasses 5 to 7 inches when erect and 1 in 1,000 reaches 9 inches. I repeat, only 1 in every 1,000 men is 9 inches when hard. The average erect penis size is 5.8 inches. If you are underwhelmed \u2014 don&amp;#039;t be. The study makes it very clear that 5.8 inches is way bigger than most other primates&amp;#039; erections, such as a gorilla erection. So, that&amp;#039;s something to remember the next time this issue, ahem, arises. Follow Tess on  Twitter. Photo Credit: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
