A doctor has explained some of the internet's burning questions about penises, including the actual average size of one. Watch him explain:
Known as the 'Dick Doc on TikTok', Dr Zimmerman is an aesthetic surgeon and an expert on all things related, sharing videos regularly with almost a million followers.

One question that must come up a lot, is the average size of a penis. Answering the question, Dr. Zimmerman said, when erect, the average penis is about five inches long.
He added: "And, interestingly enough, the average penis at its widest circumference is about 4 3/4 to 5.1 inches around."
He also says that anything under 2.5 inches is classed as a microphallus, but he says they can still get the job done, adding: "I can speak to the fact that the exterior presentation of a gentleman has very little to do with what you'll find under the belt. Sometimes it's quite humbling and quite surprising."
Dr. Edward Zimmerman has been performing cosmetic surgery on the Johnson of any willing - and paying, presumably - participant since the 1990s.
Basically, he knows his way around a length, and he's willing to offer up the tips to help you with it.

He currently practices out of Las Vegas clinic Aesthetic Revolution, and he's here to explain everything that you always wanted to know about your manhood but were too ashamed to ask.
First off, there's nothing to be ashamed of. They're all fine, and they're all functional, but there's ways and means of keeping them firing on all cylinders, if you'll excuse the cringeworthy pun.
So, did you know that penises shrink over time?
Dr Zimmerman told Buzzfeed: "Penises shrink with age - just like how you lose volume in your face and neck. Down below, you'll lose girth and you'll also lose length if you're rarely using it. It truly is a use-it-or-lose-it type of deal."

Yup, just use it as much as possible - with a willing and consenting partner, of course - and you should be able to roll back the effects of time down there.
However, if you're disappointed with the hand you've been dealt, and wonder whether you could enhance yourself in the trouser department, it's definitely worth giving sensible consideration.
As the good doctor added: "Think about how hard it would be to try to make someone taller.
"If you damage the internal organs that cause the erection, then you may have erectile problems for life and that's not worth it."

"To get length, you can do something called jelqing (penis-stretching exercises) or you can use penis pumps to give you a temporary elongation, but it's like going to the gym.
"Once you stop going, things pretty much go back to the way they would have been if you'd never done it."
There you have it folks, some sound advice in case you're ever worried about what you're packing.
