Self measuring (actual size vs perception)

[jaspawokki]

So, I was chatting to a girl online, setting up a date, she sent me something frisky and I'm a bit shy, so I send a photo of a morning bulge in my pants. They didn't believe I hadn't stuffed something in them..

So I got out a measuring tape for the first time... I know right (and I'm 40)

So bone pressed, as I need to lose about 10kg I've put on in winter, I seem to be 6.2, with a curve.

Girth though was a bit of a suprise, 7imch the last few inches at the base and tapers a bit from there.

Looking down on my cock I never really noticed how chunky the side profile was.

I have big hands, but I've honestly always felt a bit lacking and my girlfriends being nice saying it's great.

Don't know what I'm going to do with this information, but it was interesting to find out I should maybe be a little less self conscious.

Apparently 7 inch girth is near the top of the charts and I feel a little different about my junk today.

Sorry you had to read this

Anyone else feel small too when they kind of are above average? The mind sometimes seems to work against us in this sensitive area

Edit: after posting this I got a notification that it's my 15th year anniversary on the site, so.. that's a long fucking time

7 inch girth is monstrously thick! You had to have had problems with condoms and such, right? You arent kinda above average at 6.2 x 7... way above average. Girth matters A LOT!

Yeah I bought regular ones, they kept slipping off, I thought it was because I was small, guess it was the shape rather than that
Couldn't roll them all the way down properly. Need to find a better shape for me for sure, mostly had long term partners so haven't used them in a long time.

It's been an eye opening couple of days. I still don't trust the measuring tape and the size distribution charts. Probably a bad side effect from watching too much porn with massive guys , mostly small female stars and all the other trickery.

This is my hand around a beer can, I can't quite meet my fingers at the base couple inches of my junk unless I squeeze.. I'm losing a bit of the thumb length in the pic because it doesn't bend to the shape of the can.

Your cock is massive! The length is a bit above average but that girth is in beer can territory. I’m about the same length as you but only 5” girth and girls and guys have said I was big.
I understand about feeling small though. I grew up in the days of open showers and my flaccid dick was always smaller than everyone else’s.

My flaccid is pitiful, really really don't want people seeing it, I totally get that. Looks like, from my angle, and when I hold it taking a piss, just a little thing.

Is there a thread for biggest growers? Similarly in changing rooms the showers were intimidating. I do remember someone asking a guy about his shower dick, how big does it get... They said about the same, but showers in shared showers when younger were terrifying if they grew as much as me... Jesus Christ!

Day drinking and feeling a bit happy, I might show proof, maybe cropped. I'm really shocked it's that uncommon. Overall it I think it looks looks average... To me small. Too much time on this site I guess.


I always thought when I did that nice full thrust and got the reaction I was after it was from length, maybe I was wrong.

 

[jaspawokki]

Hand size showing what I can get my hand around... Rough I know , sorry

 

[jaspawokki]

This site will expect proof, give me a day I'll do it. Drunk today, will crop photo.

Came here for the content, didn't think I'd be able to make a contribution it's only the base inches ( but I guess they go in), but I never thought I was big in any metric.

That's middle finger, doesn't look like it though.. index finger has big gap.

If there's interest I'll post photo of me in relation to hand, I'm not an exhibitionist usually...

When I was young, I thought the same way about the guys with big flaccid tools. I didn’t know from grower and shower. Mine went from 2” to 6” hard. I assumed all guys grew the same so that a guy with 4” soft would grow to around 12”! Back then there was no porn other than Playboy.

I doubt its pitiful. There's always someone smaller, so careful you dont inadvertently insult them as well!

Most men grow quite a bit. The showers don't grow as much, USUALLY. there are some beastly dicks that were beastly while soft too but its rare. They are on here as well haha.


Most men are used to themselves. You dont feel anything special, just like yourself. We have the worst viewpoint for looking at our own dicks, top down. Even looking in a mirror may not alleviate any worries though. Even the showers sometimes feel like they are tiny when soft. I've spoken to men here who hate to be seen soft and hang 5 to 6 inches flaccid! It's ridiculously huge but since they are comparing to their hard state they feel its small and have insecurities just like others.

Anyway, your dick is definitely massive and no pressure but I would like to see it if you feel like sharing! I too am a big grower!

I'm 7" long x 6.5" girth, and I used to be scared of locker rooms, showers, and urinals too. I know now that I was probably the biggest guy there, but I felt like the smallest. Even now I don't think mine looks as big as others, and I think that's because of the large girth. The proportion of length to girth gives it the illusion of being short.

 

[liamhunter]

ypu had mentioned that you're going to be losing some weight, right? I read somewhere that for every 45 lbs someone overweight--specifically someone exhibiting a f.u.p.a. (fatty upper pelvic abdominal area)--could expect to gain 1inch in length. Something about the upper pelvic region placing an external pressure INTO your core from the outside weight to be more secure at your center of gravity inadvertantly causing the penis to not be able to fully grow lengthwise once stimulated.

So you have that to look forward to if you're still concerned with length, your girth is a dealbreaker for a lot of women im sure, but if not then you have that going well for you, also if your curve is angled down that would mean you may be stimulating the clit as you pump.

Penile length and circumference dimensions: A large study in young Italian men - PubMed would have been awesome to conduct this research haha.

Hmmm. Went to doctor for annual check up and he told me I'd lost 9kg since last visit

My dick's still tiny though

 

[liamhunter]

The quoted study is interestig - although it was appparently conducted "self measured". I believe more in "non-self-measured" studies...
I hope all the measuring men were quite honest, as the calculated average is quite higher than world average lol.

But regardless - the most interesting find for me was:

"The increase in BMI leads to a reduction in the length of the erect penis, as well as weight gain reduces the length of the flaccid penis."

This corresponds with my own observation after 3 years of hitting the gym regularly:

My penis is longer now!

ive heard that stereotype about italian men and having large members, but I know cockiness is also a common stereotype. &IDK if this is relevant though to the contrary: the Romans believed large penises were aesthetically unpleasing and 'brutish' or a sign that your instinct was barbaric, so I imagine through selective breading, those Romans that passed on their genes were smaller than those who perhaps were more well endowed and subject to societal pressures that could have led to a life more likely as a century therefore were more likely to die in battle.

I believe the same holds true for the ancient Greeks. They found smaller penises more aesthetically pleasing.

Is that the doctor’s opinion too?

100% He said he didn't often get to use his microscope during a medical

 

[new2day]

I'm similar, fairly small when flaccid but around 5.5" long and same girth, over 6" girth at the base.

One of the best things about sites like this is talking to others and learning there is so much variety in shapes and sizes. Knowing you're not alone is a great way to accept what you have.
