The mean suprapubic skin-to-penile tip erect length was 12.53\u2009cm (SD 1.93); the mean erect length from the symphysis pubis to the penile tip was 14.34\u2009cm (SD 1.86); and the mean erect shaft circumference was 11.50\u2009cm (SD 1.74). A nomogram was constructed and statistical analysis performed, demonstrating a weak negative correlation between BMI and erect penile length measured from the suprapubic skin (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.283, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.000) but not from bone to tip, and a weak negative correlation between age and both erect penile length measurements (skin to tip r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.177, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0005; bone to tip r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.099, P\u2009=\u20090.006).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A nomogram for Middle Eastern men can be used as a standard when advising men with small penis anxiety.
