How/ why do guys measure their penises?

Guys will talk and brag about their lengths all the time. I'm just very curious as to why this is. In some ways I guess it's no different than a girl with big boobs bragging about her cup size, but you have to know that in order to buy a bra. But it makes no sense for guys to measure their penises. Do they take out a ruler or tape measure, or do they just make an approximation at how long it is?

  • Yes, they do get out a ruler and they measure. Why they do this I wish I could understand. I really think they are obsessed with their own d*icks which I think is sad. When you look at a full frontal picture of a man, his penis is close to one of the smallest things about him. It's only because they've got sex on the brain so much I guess that they put that much attention on their d*cks. With everything there is in the world one would think they could focus on at least something else besides sex. Such limited minded creatures, IMO.

    (I've never heard women bragging about their boob size.)

    • Thank you! I have very big breasts and there is not a day in my life I have bragged about them! A girl is much more lucky to have small ones! They hurt and get in the way!

    • Yeah,it's great that women are never obsessed about any body parts or how they look or how anyone sees them!

    • Hmmmm, you make an interesting sarcastic point. However, I don't believe I've ever seen a question here on GAG from a gal asking, "How important is my boob size?" Yet, I cannot count the number of times I've seen a guy ask a d*ck size question on here...and I've only been a member since Dec. Not to mention, a woman's boob size is noticeable by everyone with her clothes off or on, hence her being self conscious about it. Men's d*cks, not so much - so why the obsession?

  • I have found that most of them have a very hard time reading that ruler correctly.

  • I measured mine with a measuring tape for length and then wrapped paper around it and tore it in half where the edges meet and measured what was left to figure out my girth. I found out I'm 5.75 inches long and have a 4.75 inch girth which is painfully average, maybe even slightly below average for girth. I just wanted to know how I measured up compared to other guys.

  • I just used a ruler.

    We check how long we are just for the fact that we want to know how long we are.

    We don't compare our d*** lengths with each other, that's total phaggotry, but we just simply want to know how long we are.. there's no real interesting reasoning behind it.

  • Just like how many girls are concerned about their breast size, many guys can be concerned about their d*** size.

  • because its less awkward then asking 20 or 30 other guys to whip em out, get hard and compare.

    How? Well most often I think a ruler along the top.

  • Ruler or tape measure, either one works. It's more of how we measure up to each other, not that I, or anyone I know has ever directly compared d*** sizes. We speculate a lot.

  • So we know what you are comparing us against.

  • given the exaggerated numbers we see I expect many measure their penis the same way one might measure a cats tail - from the arsehole out LOL

  • Yup you've got it right, that's how we do it.
