How to determine size?

[gystex]

I don't know whether size matters or not, but I am curious to know how one determines it.

Just out of curiousity, I decided to measure myself. I won't give the dimensions I came up with because that's not what this is about. What I did discover was that if I measured along the back or top side of my penis, I came up with a result that was three inches shorter than if I measured along the front.

To clarify: Imagine the erect penis. Not having seen many, I don't know if mine is typical, but it emerges from the scrotum at about a 45 degree angle upward, and curves gently along its length until it is almost straight up at the tip. Unlike Bill Clinton, I do not angle to the right or left.

Now, if one measures along the front, one begins at the root just above the scrotum at the point where the hardened shaft begins. Measuing upwards to the tip, one arrives at a result of X inches.

Now, if one decides to measure along the back, one begins at the point where the penis joins the lower abdomen - which is a couple of inches higher than the starting point of the first measurement! These inches are lost.

So, how does one determine length?

Many men would like to know how long or how fat their cock is, but few know how to take proper measurements. Using the methods described below you can finally get a medically-accurate measurement of your penis size:

Finding your penis length

Penis length is defined as the linear distance along the dorsal side of the erect penis extending from the mons veneris to the tip of the glans. In terms you and I would understand, this means the penis length is measured in a straight line on the top side of the erect penis, from the skin of your belly to the tip of your penis. Penis circumference is defined as the linear distance around the widest, thickest, part of the erect penis (see below).

1. Stimulate yourself using your method of choice until your cock is hard as a rock.
2. Place your ruler on the skin of your belly, at the base of your erect penis. Do not press in against your belly, why cheat yourself?
3. Press the ruler against your penis and read the nearest quarter-inch measurement at the tip of your penis.
4. Record this number, and keep this paper in a safe place.
5. Repeat this measurement two more times, and record the results along with your first measurement, preferably with different erections and preferably on different days. Why? Because your erections can vary slightly depending on your level or arousal, time of day, room temperature, and even ho long since your last sexual experience.

Finding your penis circumference

Penis length is not the only factor in determining penis size. The width, girth, or fatness, of a penis is also an important aspect when considering how you compare. Most people have a penis that is either longer and thinner, or shorter and fatter. Use the instructions below to determine your penile circumference (distance around the widest part of your penis).

1. Stimulate yourself using your method of choice until your cock is hard as a rock.
2. Place a fabric ruler or a string end at the widest part of your penis and wrap it carefully around one time. Mark the spot where the string first touches itself.
3. If using string, take the marked string and lay it against the ruler. Read to the nearest quarter-inch measurement.
4. Record this number on your paper.
5. Repeat this measurement two more times, preferably with different erections and preferably on different days, recording the measurements each time.

Calculate your size

Average the 3 numbers you recorded for your penis length. If you don't know how to take an average, just add up the 3 numbers, and divide the total by 3. This is your average penis length.

Then, do the same for your penis circumference. Now you know just how big you are!

I usually assume men start measuring at their ankles.

I thought we were supposed to start behind our balls to get good measurment? or was that the inseam of our jeans?
