I don't understand how people can use ONE measurement for their soft length. The male shlong is designed to range from small and soft to large and hard. If you're grappling with a bear you don't want your shlong to be big and hard (I assume). So when you're stressed, or cold, or angry, or any "fight-or-flight" responses, your shlong is going to be rather small. When you're with a hot naked teenager, it will be a lot bigger (I assume).
So again, I don't understand how people can post something like "I'm 6 inches soft"... If I throw you into an ice bath I can assure you that you will not be 6 inches soft.
