Proper Penis Measurement

That thread about penis size got me thinking. Precisely how do you measure length? I've pushed the ruler right up against the pelvic bone. Using this method, I'm 7 1/4 inches. I've also measured from where the penis appears to naturally join the rest of my body. Using this method, I'm 6 1/2 inches.

What's the standardized, accepted method of measuring length?

>>However, it IS an issue for me. Wife says I keep banging her cervix, which, apparently, is an unpleasant experience.<<

There are so many variables in this that a 1/4" or a 1/2" or perhaps more isn't going to make a big difference to your wife - or any woman for that matter. Length is just one factor. The position, the force with which you pound away, how aroused she is, how hard you press your pubic bone against hers, her weight, her body type; all these things make a difference to how hard and how close you are getting to her cervix.

Ultimately how long you are doesn't matter at all in this situation! 3", 6", 12" - the number doesn't matter. The effect you are having on her cervix does. The best thing to do is stop measuring and start finding positions that work better, or learn to be a bit more gentle with the thrusting.

Yes, knowing his size isn't going to improve that anyway. It's not as if he can change it. Maybe it's an ego thing. "Yeah, I'm so huge that I hurt my wife."

Oh, brother. You assume that when a guy asks a question, he either wants a fix (rather than curiosity, understanding what's up, etc) or he wants to brag. What a lovely perception you have of men.

I fail to read what you see in Kat's postings.
This whole subject boils down to a few thoughts.
If you possess average or larger dimensions, you need to be aware of your SO's
needs and try not to hurt her in some way.
If you are smaller than average, you had best make certain that you treat your SO well
or it will be just one of many reasons for her to not consider your needs, at all.

So why post how 'big' you are? It's irrelevant to the question.

I like to measure in millimeters just to come up with a big number, convert to octal and sometimes list in binary.

It actually was moderately relevant. I find the discussion FOLLOWING it completely irrelevant/goofy/weird/childish, so much so that I'm done with this thread.

Thanks Cerryl. I guess it's not just ME who finds this need to measure one's penis to the nearest quarter inch silly.

Thanks, shortier. I guess when these thoughts/reactions come from a woman, no matter how true they may be, some men become defensive.

I think wasting one's time measuring your penis to the nearest fifth of an inch is pretty childish myself. And allowing that measurement to determine HALF of your self image and self worth is pretty sad, IMO.

I agree, If MR Long John Silver was interested more in learning the aspects of the clitoris and how to stimulate it, there would be less than 20 threads building his ego.
The clitoris is a very sensual part of the vagina, caressing it will help stimulate and arouse a women where penis size should not matter, yes the size thing is always on these boards and there are always 2 things to look at.
1. If you are only interested in above average penises either by length or girth then the below average man will not do and they may not actually understand real connections of love
2. And then there are the women who do not concider below average penises to be a factor
WHY - because, lovemaking actually has more to it than SIZE, caring, caressing,understanding each others body,breasts and stimulation by oral.....there we go UNDERSTANDING THE ASPECTS OF THE CLITORIS, are all very important to a successful sex life.

You know not many men will actually get onto these boards and publicly admit in front of 90% women after the ego trip of Mr Silver and admit That he is small, well I am below average when erect and yes embarrassing as it may be ladies, you would probably agree, But I have satisfied my partners to orgasm by other means other than size.
