On the side of my cock it measures 8 inches, yet on the top of my cock theres this skin which seems to hold my cock in place which limits the measurement by 2 inches, when i`m having sex on top i can stretch the skin back by pushing it against the womens pelvic bone which gives me the whole eight inches inside her, and the skin that holds my cock in place on top is sometimes nice as it regulates how much cock i give like a governor on a speedometer which holds back how fast you go, but in this case overall lenth. This also works in the doggy position, and i push from up above. My question is since i can acomplish both a 6 inch and a 8 inch cock which one do i use to comine with my 7 inch girth size? Also are there any other men or women who have experienced what i have described as being able to regulate how much to give. Feel free to share on this if you know what i`m talking about.:smile:

p.s. Sorry for the thread name typo as i left the (g) out of the word length and can`t seem to find a way to go back and fix it.

The accepted and standardized method is to measure the penis from above with the ruler pressed to the pubic bone, holding the penis perpendicular to the body, and then measuring to the end of the glans. That, "skin," isn't skin. It's your suspensory ligament.

I knew it was measured from above, but with the ruler pressed to the pubic bone? I always stopped where my cock touch the skin above the pelvic bone. :confused:

This is where most men get exagerated measurements. The correct way by all true professional accounts (Kinsley experiments etc) is to measure the penis from the top from tip to base without pushing into the pubic bone. The ruler should just be flat aginst the pubic bone skin and no cheating. A lot of guys claim to have an 8 incher or above because they either measure from the bottom or the side or they press too hard against the pubic Bone



Myself 8"X6" complete clean measurement. But I get 11" from the bottom 10" from the side and 9" pushing hard into my pubic bone. So I am 8" long period and bigger than most guys I may add.

Doctor studies measure non bone pressed (nbp). The penis is measured on top of the penis from the pubic skin (not bone). When people state that the average penis size is so and so they are often quoting those nbp studies, for instance the Cancun study that arrived at the average length being 5.87" nbp.

When a guy wants to see where his size stands amongst guys, it doesn't make sense to press all the way to the pubic bone and/or to measure on the side (or in some cases a guy may be even be measuring from underneath) when the chart they are comparing themself to wasn't measured in that way. Not unless one wants to go around kidding themself about how big their penis is and where they rank, which I have no doubt happens.

You've been measuring correctly. If I pressed to my pubic bone I could claim 7.5". Correctly measuring nbp I'm 6.25". If I measured on the side I could add about 3/8" to either measurement. That would put me close to 8" bone pressed. Round up a bit and I could run around claiming I'm 8". Big difference between correct and incorrect.

OK, did some research. Some studies measure bone-pressed, others do not. Those that measured bone-pressed:

Predicting penile size during erection (International Journal of Impotence Research (2000))

Does penile size in younger men cause problems in condom use? a prospective measurement of penile dimensions in 111 young and 32 older men. (Urology. 2001 Feb;57(2):314-8.)

Studies on self-esteem of penile size in young Korean military men (Asian J Androl. 2003 Sep;5(3):185-9.) Note: This study measured bone-pressed flaccid stretched legnth.

There were more studies that measured non-bone-pressed length than those that did, however, and something I hadn't noticed before, quite a few measured the flaccid stretched length instead of anything erect! Would be nice if the penis measuring scientists of the world got together and agreed to one standard. :twak:

:eek: Holy shit! Someone who actually did some serious objective research plus were willing to adjust their opinion from it. Thumbs up jason.

Thank you for your generous comment :smile:

I'd rather be right than self-righteous and wrong.

Yep, that's my problem too.

My penis isn't fully erect when it's perpendicular to my body... it's goes straight up. :smile:
Same here
That's why you pull down and make it perp!

Measuring ontop with a ruler without pushing in at all I am just a hair under 6 1/2", I just round up because like 1/8th of an inch doesn't matter, right? heh.

If I measure from the side, I get like 7" though, and from the bottom like 7 1/2".

Like already stated in this thread, LOTS of guys, including some on this site, measure from the side or bottom, giving them numbers exagerated by an inch or two.

Basically, you just want to measure what you know you can stick in a girl. I know that if I pull my dick down so its sticking straight out of my body, I can stick in 6 1/2" (basically) in a girl.

Lots of people have looked at my pics and guessed I am at least an inch bigger than I really am. This is because a lot of people are used to looking at pictures with the flawed measurements.

I don't know how you guys can get close to two inches just by pushing in; I measure by pushing in just enough so the ruler is flat and starts where my dick actually starts, and if I push in hard, I get about a quarter-of-an-inch difference.

How do you get two inches? Also, I think I'm gonna start measuring from my asshole, for my ego's sake :).

I'm 6.25" nbp. My fatpad is 1.25" (The average fatpad is 1". Yours is only 1/4"). I can gain another 3/8" by measuring from the side. Round up 1/8" and whoa, I'm 8".

6.25 + 1.25 + 3/8 + 1/8 = 8

That's just 1.75" in my case, not 2". Hey, I don't want to go for more than that. 8" is good enough, lol.

Problem is, in reality I'm not going to get visual or physical reactions from women like an 8 incher. Nope, it is more like a 6.25 incher receives.

I`m so glad that this has caused so much controversy, big is big, and i`ve got a big f*****g cock, i must have the most awsome suspenory ligament you can have, it stretches or it`s just looser than average because i can give 6 or 8 inches of cock, when you look at my cock in the photo(cockwithkeyring) you can definatly see what i`m talking about, as my cock is stretched forward. :smile: I must be a rarity, and that goes down as awsome in my book.:rolleyes:

I agree. I have about 1/4 of an inch too. :smile:

I have an extra amount of suspenory ligament, maybe thats why it stretches like it does, i can measure my cock from the side and get 8 inches of cock, yet when i measure the top, because my suspensory ligament is so big it only measures 6 inches of cock, i guess my dna design knew i needed a big suspensory ligament to go with that big fat cock.:smile: I can actually hold a women up in the air with my cock. How cool is that?

Measuring to the pelvic skin is why it is said that getting fat can reduce penis size. It doesn't, really, but it makes the pubic skin push out thus making one's measurement smaller. Pushing to the bone, it's hasn't shrunk a bit. But, as someone said, it's all a matter of what you can get inside your lover. So pelvic skin doesn't count. I'm thin, so it would only add the 1/4" to me, too.

As a male video cam host, I have seen some of my competition measure from the bottom starting from the base of their nutsack. This can easily add 2+ inches to a measurement. Pisses me off.

For the record, measured erect from the top not pushing in, I'm 8.25".
