British manhoods have apparently grown by almost a tenth over the past two years and Ozempic could be part of the reason why, one expert suggests.
Data suggests UK penis size has increased 0.46in, to an average of 5.63in erect, between 2022 and 2024.
This is equivalent to an 8.9 per cent rise and puts the UK in 8th place in the global rankings for growth.
However, while Britain’s penises may be growers they’re certainly not showers, ranking 60th in terms of overall size on the global stage.
They were thoroughly beaten by their Sudanese equivalents who reportedly average 7in at full mast.

On the opposite end of the scale, Italian manhoods have shrunk by a fifth to just under 5in
Even when it came to penis growth the UK only achieved a modest gain compared to Venezuelans who, somehow, managed to add 1.42in to their penises over the last two years for a new 6.67in length.
On the opposite end of the scale, Italian manhoods have shrunk by a fifth to just under 5in.
The data was collected by an online pharmacy NowPatient using sources collated from various studies.
Some of these were self-reported data leading to the obvious issue that some men may have possibly overexaggerated their package.
Additionally, some studies may have had smaller samples of men meaning they may not be a true reflection of the population as a whole.
It is unknown why British penis sizes may have grown over two years.
However, Dr Richard Viney, a consultant urological surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, said there were a number of possibilities.
The most obvious is that these aren’t like-for-like comparisons between 2022 and 2024.
Penis can vary across ethnicity even among the same national group, meaning that different studies taken on different years can produce different results if they are more or less diverse.
Similarly, Dr Viney said differing ages in Brits surveyed age may have played a role in the different result: ‘Men’s penises shorten as they get older (due to) increasing body fat and increasing prostate size drawing the penis back into the body.’
Dr Viney added that it is theoretically possible new drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are used to treat diabetes and obesity respectively and can cause people to lose weight, could also be a factor.
‘It’s possible there may be an Ozempic effect. As men lose weight, their penises appear larger,’ he said.
Navin Khosla, NowPatient pharmacist, said while the data is ‘interesting’ penis size doesn’t matter in a medical sense.
‘Just like how some people prefer different fashion styles, eye colours, or characteristics in a partner, some people are more attracted to larger penises or breasts, while others prefer smaller ones,’ he said.
There are a number of penis lengthening procedures that men concerned about their manhood can opt for.
One of these is surgery to cut the internal ligaments that support the penis in the body moving a portion of it downwards artificially increasing the length.
Other techniques involve inserting a prosthetic to lengthen the penis, a surgical reconstruction of the penis adding tissue to extend length, by removing fat from the pubic region or severing the skin connecting the penis to the scrotum.
These procedures aren’t cheap and can cost over £7,000.
Some penis extension procedures are available on the NHS however this typically only for patients with a developmental problem which resulted in them having a micropenis or if their organ was damaged in a serious accident.
Like any operation, these procedures aren’t without risks.
