That's a deep cut.
The way you've phrased the question, it sounds like you're asking if we do it on the regular, like stepping on the scale or trying on old pants. Like it's something we keep track off as a part of our routine.
In which case, no. I do not measure my penis.
I have measured my penis, once or maybe twice, back during the period of time I could reasonably expect it to still be working on attaining its final dimensions. Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be perfectly average.
The question "Have you ever measured your penis?" will get you entirely different results than the question "Do you ['do' as in currently, in a continuing manner] measure your penis?"
No, because it doesn't matter.
Out of 1,000 men roughly 18 of them will have a penis that is 7 inches or more.
Basically, 1% of men (one man in a crowd of one hundred) have a 7-8 inch penis. 0.6% have 9 inches, and 0.2% have more than 9 inches. 1.8% = 18 out of a thousand.
The human penis usually stops growing between the ages of 18-21.
The average penis size differs from country to country, but here's a few:
France - 6.2 inches • Sweden - 5.9 inches • Germany - 5.7 inches • USA - 5.3 inches • China - 5.1 inches
Coincidentally, on average women (when polled) have responded that their "ideal" partner's size is around 6 inches.
We need a conversion bot from freedom units over here.
No, because it doesn’t matter.
Apparently, it does!
I can't find a link to the original segment, which is what I'm referencing, where a doctor explains it all properly, but enjoy the celebrity gogglebox take on it, but the point is - turns out condoms come in different sizes (significantly width, as well as length which I think is what most people think of when discussing size) and for them to be most effective and with least chance of failure, you need to buy the right one, and for that, you need to measure first!
That's true, the stats I threw out don't include girth. It is important to choose a condom that fits appropriately. Measure if you need to =)
Just once out of curiosity, yes. It wasn't anything to brag about and I doubt it's improved, so I haven't bothered since.
Well of course we do! Every weekend we get together for an old fashioned measuring contest. After 50 things start to get interesting as you rarely have the same winners due to the erectile dysfunction. That was the case until Jamal joined... Bastard has been taking home the gold for the last 3 years.
As a kid I did.
As an adult, several of my partners have wanted to mesure it.
Yardstick or scanning electron microscope?
Because it's so large or because it's so small? 🤔
I did once when I was 15 but this is not something I do regularly, because why would I? It’s not like it goes on your driver’s license.
Right? I did it 25ish years ago. Was already disappointed once, won't get a different result now.
Maybe when I was 15, but that was so long… ago that I can’t even remember.
May you please use the NSFW mark instead of only specify it in the title?
When I was a teen I did. Used my hands as reference then a ruler to get the measurement.
Why didn’t you just use the ruler? Were you not allowed to have the supervised access to the house ruler?
ruler was for school, don't want my junk touching my school things.
I did when I was losing weight as a tertiary measurement of improvement behind weight and blood pressure improvements.
no reason to. it already disappoints your mom enough. why give me a reason to be disappointed as well. besides its not like i dont already know its smol.
No.
Your fiancé is lying to you. Every guy has measured their dick. It is part of our lifestyle.
How do you know? Did you ask every guy?
Not as an adult, no. No reason to.
Then again, my main job had me handling a lot of cock from the time I was 17, so I'm far beyond jaded when it comes to genitals.
I did once, didn't like the answer I got so I've never done it again.
Not since I was 13.
Pretty sure it's bigger now. Lemme go measure it...
Measured twice. Once when I was roughly 16 and again in my mid 20's. I lost an inch
No, I didn't need to measure my dick, I had it measured during penis inspection day in 11th grade and got my girth certificate. It hasn't grown since then, so I don't think I need to update my details.
I have a pick'em up truck in my driveway.
