Proper Penis Measurement
| Tue, 07-25-2006 - 9:48am |
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?

I find the discussion FOLLOWING it completely irrelevant/goofy/weird/childish

I meant no offense, but this discussion has been beaten to death again and again here. From the whining towards men/women who say they prefer a larger penis, to another guy insisting that hanging weights from the end of his penis makes him 'better'.
I don't get it really, it's not something that can be changed and every woman I've ever met was more impressed by an honest smile and sense of humor than anything some monstrous penis could possibly provide.
Thanks for your honesty and I completely agree.
The vagina is NOT the primary sex organ for female pleasure, it's the clitoris so all this angst about size really IS irrelevant. Except to those women who feel that a large penis is absolutely necessary to be satisfied.
Unfortunately, many men don't even know where the clitoris is so they become fixated on the size of their penises instead of becoming more knowledgable about female pleasure. It's just easier.

Ha ha ha....so true.
I don't know why, but for some reason this conversation popped into my head when I read your post:
(Guy with average penis AND sense of humor says to woman at the end of their first date after asking her for a second and her accepting):
"So, I'm glad that we are going out again....but there's one thing I have to know....Are you a size queen? Because if you are, I have to run out and buy some weights to begin my daily stretching ritual!" ;-)
Now that's a secure guy with a sense of humor! tee hee
Well, I for one, do NOT find that sensation pleasurable. I'm sure some women do, but certainly not all. It's not a given by any means.
And frankly, I don't think that the majority of men ever give that much thought to a woman's vagina or sexuality, in general. Unless it's how it relates to them.
As I said before, too many men still don't know what the clitoris is for, much less how to find it! IF there was more emphasis on female sexuality and pleasure in biology, I really don't think men would have these obsessions about size. Education from an early age is the key.

Summing the above up: the proper way is to measure on top, from the pubic skin to the tip of the glans (head). I don't agree with this, as it penalises overweight people, and adds to skinny people. I'm not saying this either because I'm overweight, as I'm only 10 pounds overweight, but because it's really not accurate in my opinion. If a guy gains weight his penis is not actually shrinking. The average patpad is about 1". Fatpads range from 1/4" or less, to 2" or more. I measure 7 1/2" bone pressed, but my fatpad is 1" and so my penis looks 6 1/2" long. I was about 20 pounds overweight with about a 1 1/8" fatpad, so I have gained an 1/8" of visible penis just from losing weight, but like I said, I don't agree with this saying what a guy's size is by just measuring from the skin. I'm 7 1/2" dang it! lol.
