"...The penis should be measured with a hard ruler, pushing through the fatpad to the pubic bone.
Or you can use a tape measure and measure just the visual length.. up to you..."

The correct "method" to measure has been highly debated around here. But the above IS the medical standard from all indications I've come across. Of course, we are talking here about a TOP side measurement. The only other instruction omitted is pressing the erect penis downward when measuring....this helps extend the shaft every possible fraction of an inch...so important!
Also, (interestingly) a man's "stretched out" flaccid size should yield the same erect length measurement---give or take that magical 1/2"....
The precaution on discussing with a man his dimensions
is well founded. It can make or break him (emotionally).
He may not ever let on, but believe you me, a man's penis size IS important to him.
The way to a man's heart may be (traditionally) "through his stomach" but the real inner core of his emotional happiness with himself often is just being confident in his "manhood". Both sexes--men and certainly women (God bless them!) have such a difficult time figuring all this out. But, we can't escape the fact though, that's it's true. Be careful ladies, what you say.
