It’s mentioned in many sites to measure at the thickest point… Are you supposed to measure at the thickest point on the shaft or the thickest point on the penis?... For example, say the head is bigger than the shaft?

Thanks for commenting in advance! :smile:

They are refering to measuring the actual shaft not the head. The head size is very variable. In my case this would add another two inches to my girth measurements which would make it seem bigger. So why do that?!Kind of misleading, just as many guys measure their length from the tip of the penis all the way to the base of the penis, UNDER the scrotum. This is also misleading, as it should be along the top from tip to base against the pubic bone.
:cool:

Which part of the shaft?... Base, mid or upper?

Thanks! :smile:

I believe you're supposed to use your thickest part for your given measurement, do to variation a lot of us on here will give multiple measurements ie. Head, mid shaft and base. ZapZaz you sure have a thirst for knowledge, I hope you maintain this characteristic in the other aspects of your life. It's definitely a good quality.

I have known some to do all three and average them, if your wanting to get really specific and technical about.
Thanks for sharing! :grinning-smiley-003

Also, somewhere else at this site it was mentioned in a thread that in order to figure diameter, you divide the circumference by 3.1.
The actual number is longer.....but 3.1 works well enough.

I ordered a custom size toy from PhallixGlass last year and used that formula to tell them it was actually a bigger girth than I requested.....
Larger enough that I still haven't gotten adventurous enough to seriously try it.
The ...um....larger head is the problem.
