How do I measure accurately?

[Dicky]

I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. How do I make accurate measurements of my penis, girth and length, in both the flaccid and erect states?

Here's a simple guide I've had lying around on my PC for a while, not my own words, but it explains the process pretty easily I think.

Measure Penis Length

Penis length is defined as the linear distance along the dorsal side of the erect penis extending from the mons veneris to the tip of the glans. In terms you and I would understand, this means the penis length is measured in a straight line on the top side of the erect penis, from the skin of your belly to the tip of your penis. Penis circumference is defined as the linear distance around the widest, thickest, part of the erect penis (see below).

1. Stimulate yourself using your method of choice until your cock is hard as a rock.
2. Place your ruler on the skin of your belly, at the base of your erect penis. Do not press in against your belly, why cheat yourself?
3. Press the ruler against your penis and read the nearest quarter-inch measurement at the tip of your penis.

Measure Penis Girth

Penis length is not the only factor in determining penis size. The width, girth, or fatness, of a penis is also an important aspect when considering how you compare. Most people have a penis that is either longer and thinner, or shorter and fatter. Use the instructions below to determine your penile circumference (distance around the widest part of your penis).

1. Stimulate yourself using your method of choice until your cock is hard as a rock.
2. Place a fabric ruler or a string end at the widest part of your penis and wrap it carefully around one time. Mark the spot where the string first touches itself.
3. If using string, take the marked string and lay it against the ruler. Read to the nearest quarter-inch measurement.
4. Record this number on your paper.

Very interesting. Thank you phase. I'm glad I asked as all this time I was cheating my yardage by measuring the length on the underside from where the penis joins the scrotum to the tip. As to the girth, I was measuring it halfway down the length, not at the widest part.

Wow! That information is great. It really explains in details. I will definitely do it sometime. By the way the device used for measuring girth is called tape measure.J
