Ok so is there a standard size difference from a soft cock to a fully erect one? and where exactly do you measure when a lady (or guy) asks how big is your cock?
Are there rules? like no pulling the foreskin for extra length? no using a rigid ruler cuz you can push it into your skin and gain lengthage!!!!
Just kinda curious?
 
awww c'mon I figured this would be informational at least??????????? Ladies where do y'all think the measuring should be done?
 
The only place size matters is *IN* me.

If it fits, it's perfect. If it doesn't, it's not.

The rest is irrelevant.

Hi jusforfun

I think the tonsils are a good measuring device. If a cock can push past them hard, that's good . If it can do it soft, that's really good.
 
Ok. yet again Government Census work rears it's ugly head. The things I've had to do. I'm not sure what this is for or how useful my Bland ass instructions are but here goes.

1. Use a tape measure it conforms better Wraps and it will be most accurate especially if you have a curve.
2. You start at the base of the Penis, Not the base of the balls. Right up against the abdomen.
3.Measure to tip. No pulling your foreskin. Which if your hard should be rolled back or you have an issue.
If measuring flaccid
1. Use a stiff ruler and just sort of paste him on it.
2. You should be able to guess where the base begins.

Now if you just want to make it seem huge.
1. Sit While measuring use a tape.
2. Pull him erect and as far towards your belly button as possible.
3. measure from, base of balls which should be hanging a little lower, and measure up the curve. Then wrap to it.

for Purposes of pleasuring a woman, I don't really see the size difference thing. If you're too long and hitting her cervix she will not be enjoying the experience. Likewise If you have too much girth, and she's not ready it will hurt, or you may not even fit. Which sucks. Unless You have a 2 inch penis when hard Size is not a major issue. And even then, God gave you a tongue for a reason.

Little facts. The average man is only about 5.5 inches or 13 cms long. he is also about 2 and a half inches (6.1)in circumference, or about an inch (2.5cm)across.

And for funny stories, I have not fit once. It was terribly disheartening. But then again I'm 6'0 and she was maybe 4'1. It didn't come as a great surprise.
 
Hmmm

Two questions...

1.) Are your refering to the "average" Canadian male or the American Continent male?

<not that it matters> Either way it is a "win, win" for lil ol me. :D

2.) Is that really a taxpayer subsidised study cause I was about to post almost the same thing and I wasn't funded by my government...

I'm not sure I should cheer or seek a government grant!
 
Well that's actually a world wide standard. I took a few Socio and a Few Psych and Few.. other classes, and my professor helped set it up. It was... Interesting and it was tax funded. But it was essentially two free porns a week Which I had to be re-imbursed for the honor of finding out what half of my city likes. I know the penis thing because I was allowed to take the measurements If they wanted to give them. sadly that was not a job perk for me. Not even when a cute busty thing said sure you can run that tape along me, because I'm not allowed to get involved with them. Would bias the findings.

I'm not sure what canadian or NA standard would be. but I'm sure it's in some health journal I'll look.
 
Throw away those measuring tapes

The only measurement that matters is that which is *felt* by the heart and soul... and leaves you pleading mercifully for more :devil:

Thank you for the clarification.

Not a job I would be interested in either although I can understand the need for standardization in measuring, but I am wondering how one uses porn for measuring the size...

Seems that proportions and accuracy would be an issue without the actual object... No?
 
For a flaccid cock, don't even bother measuring. What the hell good is a flaccid cock unless you have to pee?

When you measure your (erect) cock, you're supposed to put the tape measure into your asshole, wrap it around your balls a couple of times, then go up the underside and over the top.

A Litster friend of mine got pissed at me because he tried this with a metal tape measure and cut himself. I would have thought that he had enough sense to know not to use a metal tape measure, but the blood flow to his erection seemed to affect his thought processes.

Now that is fuck'n funny... :D
 
I'm trying not to burst out laughing and I'm failing. Sorry I shouldn't but a metal tape. Ok. we weren't using porn, the study was what turned people on and how sexuality affected them. So It would be a measure of whatever guy was watching the porn with me. Strange enough I've never had the desire to measure my own. i've been asked i'm sure someone will ask again. The only answer is big enough.

Oh, I see... The porn with the equilivent of a "fluffer" without the human contact...

Very safe, but I now have a question regarding scientific methodology and control.

Porn is very subjective. A great BJ video may have a greater effect on some subjects than the standard in and out, then there is the aspects of say S&M or BDSM on someone more submissive....

I'm dying to understand the controls and separating each subject according to their individual kink to achieve the greatest erection for each individual!

Under the pressure of a scientific study I'm sure that you did everything possible to achieve the greatest possible result dispite the unfavorable environment of the lab....
 
Ok I'm not sure how much i'm actually allowed to talk about or say, because this was census work and thusly confidential and you have no fucking Idea how many forms and controls you have to pass and sign before. But.

Ok since I got to pick the porn and it wasn't always my general pick. and i was more gauging reaction, Not penis size, nipple size such on. That just turned out to be a perk if you will.

the study was more on How porn affected you and what you thpought. one woman actually had the unfortunate day to show up and the only three tapes I had were a Buck Cake (Bukkake), A 200 man gang bang, And some part of the Violation series. Which I have never liked. Except the Jewel D'nyle one. The opening scene before the gang bang is Hi-fucking-larious. though even that one turned me off. She didn't like any and wanted to do the survey and did all the 5 pages of paperwork and signing nessecary. but wouldn't watch any of those movies cause they offended her. Which is a response and that was the one I had. essentially the Pornstore where I rented/bought everything for the tests gave me a rent 3 get 1 free deal, cause I was in there every week. So I'd get one I liked. usually Some hentai or something With Kitten or Fujiko Kano. Or amateur. And then they'd send a list of things that i could pick from. Like Foreign. Cumshot. Forceful. Gay. Lesbian. Such on Such on. I could still piuck the tape as long as it was in that category. Made things wierd sometimes.

Perhaps it is the hour, but I believe you missed my point and while I detest being anal about details, science is by definition anal regarding details.


For control purposes it seems to me that to achieve the greatest results one would first need to insure that the subject was presented with porn that aligned with their individual kink.

Your example that I'm sure was excluded from the example was not provided with something she found stimulating and thus was "offended".

If you failed to prescreen the subjects then the control was flawd.

A gay or lesbian presented with straight sex porn could not achieve full stimulation.

A straight person like wise presented with something outside their sexual interest would also be less likely to achieve full sexual excitement.

To insure a true control group to provide the best results it seem to me that the subjects should first be screened to insure the most stimulating porn that fits their sexual appitite be provided to achieve full stimulation...

You would then not have any subjects "offended" by porn that doesn't apeal to their sense of sexuality.

If the controls are flawed, then the results are flawed.

Simple garbage in garbage out... No offense intended!
 
None taken.

I wish I had that type of control. But I had to come up to you, as a random person I did not know. And ask Excuse me but would you like to watch a pornographic film, and have your reactions whichever you choose to give to the governmentfor archival and study purposes. I think There was something about ethics and decency commisions involved as well. It was a flawed thing, But briefly entertaining. But I signed a contracct and did it for about six months. If I could check under better conditions i would. But I don't have the money or the time. Still It's an interesting question. and Literotica is probably the place to post it. I was originally just posting how you took measurements. and I will hijack the thread back to that. But it is an interesting point.
 
Normally I wouldn't do this but here goes.

If you go to condomania, they will send you a kit to measure your cock along with instructions.

I have actually been with a guy that was too large (for me) for comfort. Whether that says something about his size or mine, I'm not sure.
