On average, men who live in Ecuador and Cameroon have the biggest members, with penises measuring nearly seven inches (17cm) from the root to the tip of the head when erect.
The US and UK didn't even make the top 50, with America languishing at 60th with men having an average size of 5.4in (13.5cm) — nearly a third shorter. Britain was in 68th place, with a penis size of 5.2in (13.1cm).
Researchers behind the list said they struggled to find a connection between penis length and height but found countries with higher obesity rates tended to have smaller members, which could explain the distribution of fat tissue.
The above graphic shows the top 20 countries by penis length, measured from the base of the shaft, or root, to the tip of the head when erect. Researchers in Germany collected data from nearly 90 countries
To find out which countries have the largest penises, researchers in Germany combed through more than 40 recent studies involving thousands of men.
The team extracted data on average penis size from nearly 90 countries, with the measurements having been independently verified.
Wherever possible, the team avoided using studies where men had self-reported their penis size.
In cases where individuals had a fat pad above the penis, this was slightly compressed to help with measurements.
These were all averaged for each country and then converted into inches to allow for comparison between different nations.
Previously, fitness instructors have said men can add inches to their penis by simply losing weight.
Out of the top 20 countries, half were in Africa, while three were in South America, North America and Europe.
Only one of the top nations for penis length was Asia.
The European countries with the largest penis sizes overall were the Netherlands — ninth at 6.2in — France — 11th at 6.2in — and Italy — 19th at 6in.
In North American countries, men Haiti ranked fifth at 6.3in, Cuba at eighth at 6.2in and Canada at measured in at 13th with 6.2in.
At the other end of the scale was Cambodia, with an average penis size of 3.95in.
Myanmar followed it — 4.21in — the Philippines — 4.27in — and Sri Lanka — 4.29in.
A study published by the British Urology Journal in 2015 that involved 15,000 men from three continents found that the average penis size worldwide was 5.16in.
Researchers also collected average male height per country and found little connection between height and penis size.
They did not look at the circumference of the shaft of the penis by country.
Doctors say that the length of a man's penis is primarily determined by genetic factors rather than lifestyle.
The penis develops in the womb and during puberty, where hormones like testosterone drive its growth.
But some studies have suggested a link between its length and height, including a paper involving nearly 5,000 Italian men, which found 'height is proportional to the length of the penis in flaccidity and in erection'.
Men who are overweight or obese may appear to have smaller penises because of excess fat in the pubic area.
Latino male exhibits an overbearing attitude to anyone he perceives as inferior.
Men in the country are not famed for being tall — with the nation not ranking among the top 50 for male height. About one in five adult men in the country are obese, estimates suggest, compared to two in five in the US.
In terms of preference, some studies have found that women prefer men with larger penises for one-time sexual encounters.
But for a long-term sexual partner, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that women generally prefer men with smaller penises.
