The average British penis size has increased this much in two years
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Words by Jadie Troy-Pryde
As a nation, we're doing all sorts to ensure that we're having the best sex we can possibly be having - and women aren't the only ones. While we're testing out the best Kamasutra positions and spreader bars, men have been using this so they can last longer in bed, and stocking up on these male sex toys.
But has anyone with a soft spot for Tinder noticed that their bed buddies are inexplicably better endowed than hook-ups two years ago? No? Because according to condom brand SKYN, the average British penis is now a whole inch bigger than it was in 2015.
The study found that men aged between 18 and 34 were, on average, a sizeable 6.1 inches. However, just two years ago the average was a whole inch less, measuring 5.16 inches.
Is there something in the water?
Erm, probably not. It has more to do with the fact that SKYN asked 3,037 sexually active men to send in their measurements online, whereas the test taken in 2015 by King's College actually measured each penis by hand.

So we're guessing the initial survey was a bit more accurate. In fact, considering that the average has jumped an entire inch in just two years does not confirm that Brexit and more expensive chocolate have caused some sort of male genital growth - more likely, men measuring in their bedrooms are a bit more generous with their inches.
