Dickle #11: United States 🇺🇸

The puzzle for 5 August 2026 asked for the published average stretched penile length in United States. Here is the answer and the study behind it.

The answer

Stretched length · United States

12.45 cm

4.90 in

That's 0.48 cm below the worldwide average of 12.93 cm.

Higher than 30% of the 24 countries in the game.

Source: Wessells et al., J Urol, 1996 · 80 men · Measured by one examiner.

What that figure rests on

Wessells et al., J Urol, 1996, measuring 80 men. Method: measured by one examiner.

This study did not bone-press, which means it reads roughly a centimetre lower than a bone-pressed study would on the same men. Comparisons against bone-pressed countries are partly comparing rulers.

The worldwide pooled mean for this measure is 12.93 cm, from Belladelli et al., World J Mens Health, 2023 (55,761 men). See methodology for the four ways any of these figures can be wrong.

How it sat in the game

United States is #17 of the 24 countries in the rotation. That is 0.32 cm below the list median of 12.77 cm.

Both comparisons are against a two-dozen-country list assembled by which studies happen to exist, not by any sampling of the world. And the spread between individual men inside United States is several times wider than the gap between any two countries here, so none of this describes anyone.
