Hi,
A review of literature shows that the average length of the flaccid penis is around 8-9 cm. However, length of the flaccid penis does not necessarily correspond to length of the erect penis; some smaller flaccid penises can grow much larger, and some larger flaccid penises cannot grow much larger. Penises that are short when flaccid but more average when erect are colloquially known as growers, whereas those with greater flaccid lengths that increase little when erect are known as showers. I can understand your concern for the smaller penis but you need not worry as long as the erect length is okay. I hope that helps. Take care.
