During my time on LPSG I've seen many objects used to illustrate penis size through comparison, everything from tape measures to toilet paper tubes to cans of shaving cream. I think a better constant may be thumb to penis because our thumbs are all about the same size. A bunch of different thumbs may be a bunch of different shapes and sizes but the differences are small. Comparing ones thumb to ones penis is a good enough constant from man to man and adds an element of proportion that is absent in other comparisons. So I'll start by showing mine.

Well, my fingers are fairly long and I wear an X-large glove. I think my thumbs are a little longer than average and close enough to average in all other respects.

Where did you get the idea from that thumb sizes don't vary by much? Shaving cans etc you can find out the dimensions easily. Thumbs are a bad comparison. Actually that's one of the first things children learn about measuring, that you get different results if you use body parts because everyone is different.

I agree not all thumbs are the exact same size, but they are close enough to be used as a general comparator. And as I said above, no matter the size of one's thumb it will be have a certain proportion to other features, such as one's penis. I think if you measured a hundred thumbs they would be much closer in size than if you measured a hundred penises from the same group of men.

Yeah, but if you measured 100 rulers they would all be the exact same size. If you measured 100 12oz cans of soda they would all be the same size. It doesn't make much sense to use a non-standard sized thing to make a comparison.

This is why measurements like cubits (in the most traditional sense) failed in the ancient world.

Did they? That would mean that the unit "foot" also failed just because british foot and french foot are not the same (on the other hand the whole myth about Napoleon being small and the Napoleon complex are results of those differences). Or did I misunderstand you?

OK, I concede my thumb to penis comparison is missing one element, an easy to fix missing element. Take a picture like #12 above (exactly what I was looking for) then take a picture of your thumb with a tape measure or ruler or machinists scale that clearly shows exactly the width of your thumb. This can very easily be scaled to the photo of your thumb and penis. I think this addresses the argument and when I get a minute I post such a picture. M

As someone who has worked in product design applying ergonomics to hand held tools and products, I can assure you there are BIG differences in thumb sizes between adult males. Any visual comparisons would be very relative to their owners only.

If you want to show what real size any cock is, use a ruler and tailors tape in the pictures following proper measuring principles for placement of the measuring instruments. Why that is so hard to do for so many is hard to comprehend!

Or just measure your damn penis. What the everliving fuck?

Hey Kim, my measurements are shown in my gallery as crisply and clearly as any on lpsg and available for all here to see. I don't claim them to be lpsg's best but it is an objective attempt. There are hundreds or even perhaps thousands of pictures of "measurements" on lpsg using just about everything, many of them are not clear or are purposefully distorted in one way or another. What I suggest is just another way, which also by the way shows proportion. I never suggested thumb to penis was the best or only way.

By the way Kim, where are your measurements? You may use any method you want, as long as it's clear and not distorted and in your gallery for all here to take a look at.

I think you are missing the point. In your original post you said that you came up with a more consistent method, even though you had mentioned using a ruler in the previous sentence. The method that you claimed, using a thumb, is one of the least consistent methods possible. Everything else that you listed in your examples are more consistent, for example a brand of shaving cream is pretty much always going to use the same size can. But everyone has a different size thumb. This is why it does not show proportion, it can't unless there is a standard sized object being used for comparison such as a ruler.

Nobody is questioning this post because of any judgement of size, whether it is yours or someone else. Its just completely illogical that you would claim that measuring using a thumb is more consistent than measuring with a ruler. I don't believe you if you say that you don't know that or don't agree.

If you want pictures of penises and thumbs then just say it, but don't make an untrue claim that it is a more consistent method of comparison. You know that its not true.

What a pile of strawman arguments here. I never said anything about your photos. Never said that you claimed your way was the best or only way.

My comment was strictly in response to the post I quoted, where you advocated measuring your thumb, showing that measurement, and then showing your thumb on your penis. If you have a ruler handy, just measure your penis.

There is no accurate means of photographing a penis being measured. The variable angles distort every measurement, and there is absolutely no way to verify that the ruler is true to size. Add in bone presssing versus not, standing versus sitting, PHOTOSHOP, and many other variables, and it's a complete waste of time....because invariably, someone will point out some flaw or other.

But using something as variable as a thumb, and then adding the unnecessary step of measuring it and then using it to measure the penis....it's pointless.

Who said I need measurement photos? I've posted them in the past. Got compliments, and a rash of hateful comments as well. So they are gone. My girth measurements are still in my attachments tab, in case that matters to you. As well as a bunch of photos of dildos being measured, illustrating the various problems of using a soft tape. Oh, and the penis with a condom is wallyj84's dick. He says it's less than an inch long, and that HIS thumb covers it completely.

That's the insanity that is LPSG. Welcome.

Oh, and just an FYI, I am not Kim. Kim is my wife. Everything I do, I do for her. Hence, " it's all for Kim".
