Welcome to the human sexuality portalHuman sexuality covers topics such as the biological basis of and the social factors affecting, sexual behavior, gender and sexual orientation. Over time and across cultures, there have been different views on sexual ethics and different laws on what sexual behavior is permitted. Sex education programs promote reproductive health and family planning and try to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Many societies have forms of erotica or pornography and a sex industry with sex workers such as prostitutes. Some believe that human sexual preferences are derived from genetics, but others believe it is a choice one makes in one's life. For example, some people believe that hetero-, bi-, and homosexuality are determined before birth or early in life, others view sexual preferences as a learned behavior, and others view sexuality as fluid or as a reaction to circumstances. Selected articleHuman penis size is the measured length and width of the human penis. While results vary across studies, the consensus is that the mean human penis is approximately 12.9–15 cm (5.1–5.9 in) in length with a 95% confidence interval of (10.7 cm, 19.1 cm) (or, equivalently, 4.23 in, 7.53 in). The typical girth or circumference is approximately 12.3 cm (4.85 in) when fully erect. Yet, one reputable source claims that the relaxed human penis has an average length of only 4 inches (≈10.2 cm) and diameter of 1¼ inches (≈3.2 cm) while fully erect it has an average length of 6 inches (≈15.2 cm) and diameter of 1½ inches (≈3.8 cm). The mean penis size is slightly greater than the median size. Studies have not found a relation between penis size and race.
