Can anyone tell me the reason we measure our penis length from our pubic bone and not the balls?

can anyone tell me the reason we measure our penis length from our pubic bone and not the balls? if I measured my length from my balls up I'm nearly an inch longer than if I do it from my pubic bone.

1st I know balls don't go in the girl. you can measure from the front part of the balls not behind them. 2nd I'm just wondering who and why was this method standard. it should depend more on what direction your penis bends. dick's aren't strait.

  • I measured mine from the balls to the tip and got 4 inches flacid and 7.5 erect, size doesn't matter any dude, women want a good lover in the bedroom, no point in having a huge penis if you're not a good lover

    • I do understand that much. what I'm asking for is the reason behind why it's the standard.

    • I guess we're just measuring what we can fit inside her coochie lol (I meant the top of my balls by the way) Well i guess guys do it wrong sometimes and anyone can simply lie about it too, only way to believe another guy is to measure his yourself lol or have his girlfriend do it idealy

    • having a GF do it would be a pretty good impartial way to have it measured.

  • According to Adam Corolla, you should measure from midpoint of the asshole, once around the balls to just past the tip to get an accurate count.

    • if that was standard I could see how that would become very accurate. short of the few guys who bend downward at least.

  • Good luck to everyone out there that doesn't make sure to hydrate their penis with something formulated specifically for the genitals... I make sure to. Why not? We all ensure that our bodies are hydrated and moisturized but we neglect our penis. No more!

  • Most guys measure from the tip of their penis to their asshole!

  • probably because your balls actually don't go inside a woman's V.

    • measure from the Front of the balls not Behind them. *duh*

  • Most guys lie by at least an inch anyway.

    • have you measured a guy's penis after he told you how long it was to find out he lied or is this just a roomer? I'm glad I'm not most guys.

    • I always measure a guy's penis to ensure it's fit for consumption. 10 inches minimum or gtfo.

    • how do you do the measurements? 10 inches seems quite unrealistic.

  • My balls hang very high and forward when erect, so I would get shortchanged if I measured from below.

  • It's funny no one says how big their ball are. Like circumference etc...

  • late on the debate, however measure on top with a measuring tape to end. whatever the end reads is the length.

    • I understand that. I'm just wondering if it's still accurate for guys who curve back as they would naturally have more length on the underside. :)

  • Does the extra quarter-inch really matter?

    • the way my penis is curved it's nearly a full inch. in part I guess it can be an ego thing but mainly I want the accuracy. all guys are shaped differently and the measurements should be adjusted for that.

  • Because that's the usable part. Unless you're some kind of circus act, you don't put your balls in a girl. And since you're the one that cares about your size more than the girl does, you're left wondering how to add extra length to sooth your ego.

    Make sense?

    • why are people starting to talk about the balls. obviously you'll measure from in front of them not between your balls and but hole.

    • What are you even talking about? The only time I mentioned balls is because you don't measure from the underside if the upper side is the shorter length. If you're inside a girl as far as you can go (on the top side), then why would you measure the underside when it's longer than what you can use?

    • And why the fuck does your penis size even matter to begin with? Rhetorical question, because I know it has to do with your (and others) fragile sense of self-confidence when it comes to wanting to be bigger for no reason other than... wanting to be bigger, for no reason other than... On and on

  • I don't know. Maybe that way they can make fat people feel worse, because fat can shorten the measurement guys get, measuring it the way they currently do.
