Average penis size in Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
What the published literature reports for Australia, which study it comes from, and how much weight that figure can carry.
Australia is in play right now, so the figure is withheld on this page. It comes back once the puzzle has moved on โ usually within a day or two.

Australia is today's puzzle, or was yesterday, or is tomorrow's. Publishing the number here would hand the answer to anyone who searched for it, so it is hidden for three days around its turn in the rotation.
Play today's puzzleThe study behind it
The figure comes from Stewart et al., 2009, which measured 225 men. Method: bone-pressed, measured.
Note the method. This study pressed the ruler into the pubic bone, which captures the buried portion of the shaft and records roughly a centimetre more than a study that rests the ruler on the skin โ on the same man. A meaningful part of the distance between this row and the lower-ranked ones is that decision, not the populations.
A sample of 225 men puts this in the mid-range of the studies used here.
What this figure is not
It is not a description of any individual man from Australia. The spread between individual men inside a single country is several times larger than the gap between any two countries on this list, which means a national average carries almost no information about a person.
It is also not medical advice or a benchmark to measure yourself against. If size is something you have been worrying about, the guide on what the pooled data actually shows is a more useful page than this one, and a doctor is more useful than either.
