The best-endowed men in the world!

Last updated on: March 29, 2011 18:36 IST

We bring you the findings of a Targetmap.com survey, which reveal the average penis size of men based on their nationalities.

We're often hearing of racial comparisons when it comes to men's -- well -- tools of trade.

But this seems to be the first indepth research of its kind covering the world, and brings you the findings from every single country on the map.

In the following pages, we've published the results of research by Targetmap.com that gives us the true measure of a man from 10 major nations -- and if you're curious to know all of them, the table on the last slide carries all the findings.

India

But, of course, you probably want to know how our own macho males rate first! Well, as per the Indian Council of Medical Research, the average Indian man measures 10.24 cm or 4 inches.

Sex specialists may scream themselves hoarse that size doesn't matter, but genetics can still be cruel. In the four inch slot our only companions are Cambodia and Thailand, with even Bangladesh outdoing us by 0.4 valuable inches

Anyway, let's see how we size up against a few other countries!

Go Congo!

Congolese men have reason to celebrate! According to Universite Kongo, the average size there is 17.93 cm -- that's 7.1 inches.

In other words, they've got an additional 3.1 inches on us (blush)!

United States of America: For once, they're not in first place!

On the opposite side of the world, men from the United States of America also pale in comparison to the Congolese. The average size there is 12.9 cm or 5.1 inches, as per the findings of a 1998 survey by the McKilney Institute California.

Yeah, we may be small, but they've also been pulled down a peg or two -- or shall we say an inch or two!

China: Are all their goods more value for money?

Moving back to our side of the globe, we have the Chinese, who measured up at 10.89 com or 4.3 inches, according to the Kensley Report (1953), says TargetMap.

Damn, they've bested us again!

Just wondering, though, whether the same logic that applies to all their goods also applies to this department -- 'Made in China' doesn't last long!

Australia: How they rate Down Under!

Moving below the equator, we come to the Aussie blokes, never very popular in our subcontinent. But here's more reason to hate them: their magic number, as per the findings of Australia's National Agency for Health and Welfare, is 13.31 cm or 5.2 inches.

Iran: Anything the West can do, we can do better!

The Iranians manage to show up the Aussies with their vital statistics -- 14.55 cm or 5.7 inches. And the Americans too.

The UK does okay!

Moving West once more, we come to the UK, where men rate higher than that. According to a 1996 study by Liddell Hart Centre, London, lads from the UK measure 13.97 cm or 5.5 inches on an average.

And we believe them because, you know, British gentlemen are way too proper to lie about such things.

Spain: Legendary lovers!

The Spanish may like to believe that they're equipped like the Armada of yore, but the truth is the British are on par in the sexual endowments department. According to a 2003 Universidad de Navarra study, Spanish males also measure up to 13.85 cm or 5.5 inches.

Argentina

Argentinians may speak Spanish too, but their measurements speak louder -- the Targetmap penis survey has them pegged at 14.88 cm or 5.8 inches. Ay, caramba!

Pakistan

Okay, this one's going to crush you (no pun intended!), so brace yourself -- Pakistani men rated higher than us, at 12.2 cm or 4.8 inches!

No, we have nothing to say about it either. Just...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH!
