I honestly don't know what size my penis is when flaccid. Because I don't really know what flaccid is? Is it when I've experienced shrinkage? Is it when I'm just comfortable and not thinking about sex at all?

When I am at my absolute smallest due to shrinkage I'm probably 1.5-2 inches.

But when I'm just relaxed and not sexual, I'm probably 3-4 inches.

I"m 5.5 erect.

Does anyone else experience this confusion?

No worries. An good flaccid measurement is, for lack of a better word, impossible. Like hungluso said, it's the rough size it is at a comfortable temperature. Not the shrinkage end of the spectrum.

Sounds like you may be a grower - like me. I range everywhere from 1.5" (really cold or not turned on) to about 5" flaccid. *Shrugs* I think it has to do with the nature of the penis structure / makeup. Variations are not uncommon.

It's not really confusing as such?

It just varies. Mostly due to temperature but I think some other aspects of blood chemistry etc play some role too.

I measured at 5 inches soft about a week ago, but when I checked yesterday it was around 4 + ½ ...

I know it can be smaller if I've been swimming in cold water etc.

I'm not sure any of it matters unless you are in bed with someone. And even then it usually doesn't make all that much
difference -

Why worry?

Confusion does not equal worry. :)

Very true. It varies so much over the course of a day for no apparent reason. But it definitely hates cold water and cold weather. My bedroom in Scotland in winter before double glazing and no heating in the room. :( :)

Don't worry. I vary a huge amount (pun intended), depending on setting, temp, arousal, etc.
Luckily, it's plenty big when it needs to be.

Also, to start the measurement, I don't do bone pressed. I start from where the skin fold is where cock meets abdomen. However this spot varies greatly based on how big (or skinny) my gut is.

This is exactly why I don't have a flaccid size listed on my profile!
What's my flaccid size?
To tell you I need to know:
  1. What time is it?
  2. What am I thinking about?
  3. What is the air temperature?
  4. What phase is the moon in?
  5. What day of the week is it?
  6. Is Mercury in retrograde?
  7. 100 other factors!

No, it would imply I've given some thought and consideration to how big my penis is when it's not erect... I have not :p It's funny coming out of a cold pool though...

Mine's like an exotic mushroom on a bed of curlecew coming out of a cold pool. I ignore it on the grounds that it simply can't be mine.

Yeah :-/ it's confusing. I vary greatly and usually just state my average, room temp size. If folks really care, I'll state the smallest I've measured in a painfully cold day.
Luso, what happened dude? You've disappeared and blocked your profile page? Indy
