Alleged differences in races have led to the creation of sexual myths. A study reported that "there is no scientific background to support the alleged 'oversized' penis in black people".

A 2015 systematic review of 15,521 men from 20 studies found "no indications of differences in racial variability.

According to Aaron Spitz, a urologist, many websites and studies promoting variation of penis size between races use unscientific means of collecting information and often ignore contradictory evidence. He concludes that "when you really take a good look at the naked data, there's not a whole lot there ."

A study of 253 men from Tanzania found the average stretched flaccid penis length of 93 Tanzanian men of 11.5 cm (4.5 in).

A 2007 study of 115 men from Nigeria found the average stretched penis length of 13.37 cm (5.26 in), and the median stretched penis length of 13 cm (5.1 in).

A 1990 study of 109 Chinese men identified the average flaccid stretched penis length of 13.9 cm (5.5 in), and among 14 of the men, the average erect length found was 13.7 cm (5.4 in). Another 1993 study of 104 Chinese men found the average stretched penis length of 13.8 cm (5.4 in), and an average erect length of 13.5 cm (5.3 in). A 2014 study on 5196 Chinese men found an average stretched length of 12.9 cm (5.1 in) under the method of "gentle painless extension of the penis", which differs from previous studies that stretch until maximal extension. A subgroup of 311 men reported an average erect circumference of 10.5 cm (4.1 in) and average erect length of 12.9 cm (5.1 in).

A study (published in 2021) of 14,597 Vietnamese men identified an average flaccid penis length of 9.03 cm (3.56 in) and an average stretched penis length of 14.67 cm (5.78 in) as well as an average non-aroused circumference, at the mid-shaft, of 8.39 cm (3.30 in).

A 1971 study of 702 Korean men aged 21 to 31 found the average erect penis length to be 12.7 cm (5.0 in) and the average non-erect length 8.0 cm (3.1 in). A 1998 study of 150 Korean men found the average flaccid penis length to be 8.26 cm (3.25 in), the average flaccid girth 8.34 cm (3.28 in), the average erect length 13.42 cm (5.28 in), and the average erect girth 11.17 cm (4.40 in). In a 1998 study conducted at Seoul National University College of Medicine, which involved a sample of 287 Korean men, the average erect penis length was measured at 14.06 cm (5.54 in), and the average erect penis girth was 12.11 cm (4.77 in). A 2016 study of 248 Korean men identified the average flaccid penis length to be 7.39 cm (2.91 in) and the average erect penis length to be 13.53 cm (5.33 in).

A 1975 study conducted at Morrisania Hospital in the United States reported an average erect penis length of 13.3 cm (5.2 in) based on a sample of 150 American males. A 2014 study from Indiana University measured 14.15 cm (5.57 in) in erect length and 12.31 cm (4.85 in) in erect girth among 1,661 American males (83% White, 9% Asian, 8% Other). A 2018 study by the University of California, Irvine, reported an average erect penis length of 13.73 cm (5.41 in) based on a sample of 274 American males (43% White, 31% Black, 1% Other).

Rumors about the penis size of Congolese men are often exaggerated and lack scientific reliability. According to research, there are significant issues with the accuracy of information disseminated on this topic. Most information sources, including radio and television broadcasts, failed to provide measurement methodologies or credible references, with 85.7% not specifying how measurements were conducted and 57.1% lacking bibliographical citations.
