I've wondered the same thing. I generally just use the middle of my shaft, but my girth ranges from base to tip. Right around the head I am usually around 5.75" and the base of my dick (not below scrotum) can be around 6.5"; I'll need to check again as I never measure that area. I usually just say six as it is the measurement in the middle, even though my dick is more like a torpedo in shape.

I'm about 6.75 or so at the base, 6.50 in the middle and 6.25 at top average it out is the best way.

middle - if you have a 12 inch penis (near enough biggest in world) atleast 6 inches will go inside a woman so the middle will always be a valid measurement, measuring at the base/head is kinda pointless.

I agree with daavos. Some luckier dudes are same width from top to bottom.

I'm the same dimensions as big bucky (exactly the same) so I quote my mid-shaft girth of 6.5". Being tapered like him and me helps a lot because it does aid penetration. The smaller tip gets in easier and if you push slowly you spread her, especially with some lube. I wouldn't want to be 6.75' at the tip thanks!

i think its in everyones best interest (you, your girl) if you measure from the girthiest part and claim it as that. For example. you wouldnt flex a muscle with your arm and say feel my wrist, youd promote the muscle part say grab it at the biggest part.

Mine is nearly the same width and girth for its full length, so it's a subject to which I've not given a lot of thought. But I'd say that it's definitely an area where a picture's worth a thousand words.

If you have a twelve inch penis you have a lot more to worry about than just where to measure its girth.

NO SHIT, Sherlock!!! If your girth were six and three quarters feet at the tip the head of your penis would be well over two feet wide!

heres another question...what do you use to measure it? i think something like a string or a shoelace and then measure that.

That works. It's exactly the same as if it were a proper measuring tape, I dont have a bendable measuring tape only a ruler haha. Just make sure you get it right.

There are a couple commonly accepted girth measurements. Most common is mid-shaft girth. Just use a measuring tape, string, or whatever, pull it so that it's tight but not constricting into the skin. The other common measurement is head/mid/base. You take three measurements, add them together and divide the total by three to get your "average" girth. In most cases they are pretty much the same. For example, my head/mid/base is about 5.5/6.25/7. Using the mid measurement gives 6.25, and the average (5.5+6.25+7=18.75/3=6.25) is also the same. Some penises are shaped differently though, so if you have a very broad head or mid measurement, I don't think it would be out of line to claim that as your girth. Maybe just give a caveat or something.

That works. It's exactly the same as if it were a proper measuring tape,
With a tape, in centimeters.
15.5 cm (= 6 inches).
Almost erected, but not really hard.
In my case it seems do not need diferent measures. A cilinder is all the same diameter and perimeter

A college roommate of mine, at 19 or 20, had always thought that he was small--until I measured it for him and assured him that his six-inch girth was definitely above average..... :biggrin1:
