For the fellas: How many of y'all have measured your penis? Do all guys know their size? Is this myth or fact?

It seems that guys are always asking about penis size questions. And they'll give you all the details about their dick. How long, the girth, circumference, number of balls, etc.
One of my guy friends also said that it's "standard" for a guy to know his dick size.

So, how many of y'all have?
You don't need to lie/comment the actual size. But have you?

If so, where do you measure it from?
Do you measure it flaccid or erect? Or both?
Do you measure it often? Yearly? Weekly? Monthly?
Do you guys compare measurements?

  • The last time i measured my penis was a few months ago. It was slightly over 7 in long (7.3 in i believe). I've been told that the average penis size is about 5 in. So I'm not really proud of it, nor am i insecure. Its just meh i guess. But as for the girth, i actually don't know, but the girth doesn't vary by much between men. All men have close to the same girth, so i imagine that mine isn't far from average in girth. My balls i have never really thought to measure, but there doesn't seem to be a point anyway. And to answer the questions:

    1. Most guys measure both, but i only know my erect penis size and don't care about my flaccid penis size because i am a 'grower'.
    2. I measure it every couple months (but only if it comes to mind).
    3. I have compared with only one of my friends because he randomly said "i bet my penis is bigger than yours" and i said "nu uh". Then i told him my exact penis size, and he didn't even fucking know his. So he came back the next day and i had him beat but just barely. He wasn't embassed though, because we were so close to the same size. Some people claim to have bigger penises than us (but there is no way to know if they are telling the truth), and some people don't know and don't care. But out of my friends who DO know their penis size, i also know.

  • Tbh I find it odd anyone hasn't.

    You can really only measure erect because there's no set flaccid length. Depends on temperature etc.

    I measured as a teen. Then a few years ago. Was surprised to find i was an inch bigger.

    • Really? I did not know that. I mean I know cold temperate can give temporary "shrinkage/shriveling" but I thought other than that, flaccid dicks are always the same. Huh. Are you happy with it? Are you gonna keep measuring?

    • Sure I'm pretty happy. I guess I should measure every couple years in case of change lol.

    • Seeing what you meant asking others when I measured as a teen it made me relaxed and the more recent made me pleased. So measuring has increased confidence for me.

  • I said A because I know my boyfriend has, I'm not sure how often but enough to know it's bigger sometimes than others. He also said it's hard to get the ruler to the base (idk why) to measure so I'm guessing he measured from base to tip

    • I was wondering why a female measured her penis lol It's cool. My exes did too.

    • " it's hard to get the ruler to the base" Most likely due to the curve

    • Curve? (Clearly I'm very inexperienced... we're waiting for marriage lol)

  • I selected that I've measured my penis even though I don't have a penis, I have a vulva... I tried to measure the distance between my clitoris and vagina because I heard that may be a source of my orgasm problems

    • Interesting. Can I ask how it'd help to know that info? Lol

    • Apparently if the distance between your clitoris and your vagina is longer than your thumb, it may contribute to orgasm issues.

    • Maybe during regular boring old intercourse but that's why oral/foreplay are the SHIT! Plus various positions can help stimulate the clitoris if it's not getting any sensation from penetration. And if all else fails, you can always "do it yourself " and stimulate your own clitoris during sex?

  • My bf said he has never measured his. I'm not sure I believe him.

    • Haha. My exes measured.

  • Ok? (keeps scrolling down for other questions)

    • You got Xp :)

    • i wasn't really looking to score XP its just tjat your question really gave me a dafuq moment enough to post the previous comment although to respond to your question. I've only measured after one of my past GF kept obsesing over it everytime we talk about sex, bed or afrodisiacs.

  • No need to measure it. I know I have the means to please a woman. If she has any complaints then she can move on. I could have the smallest penis but I never seem to have problems so why even think about it?

    • That's a good mentality to have :)

    • Yep, the guys who measure or boast I can guarantee don't know how to use it, or how to please.. Or even how to be unselfish in bed. They don't realise that so little is about size.

  • I didn't measure him with a ruler or something. A girl however measured him with her hand. He was something like the width of her eight fingers. Then she brought an inch tape to measure it precisely. She was very curious lol.

    Am I satisfied? I think worrying about penis size is lame, 2 inches penis will work same as 8 inches for YOU. Indirectly, guys are insecure because they think they couldn't satisfy their girl but if you got 4.7+ inches penis with appropriate girth, all you need is to learn the 'art of motion'. If you are insecure, you'll surely underperform because you won't get proper errection. I'm happy with him and proud of it. I have full functioning penis, no girl criticised me, that's all.

    It also depends upon some factors like arousal, food and temperature.

    I know you're semi-trolling by stating that "Is this myth or fact?"
    Whatever, the thing is, we all (inc. girls) know our measurements.

  • Yes, mine is 36C. Ooops sorry. that is my wifes breast measuring tape. Now where did I put the fishermen's ruler?

  • I never actually grab a ruler and measure it. But the thought about how exactly long it is do come across my mind.

    • So you're contemplating the decision to measure it?

    • Nah. It more like : "I wonder how long it is hmmmmm whatever too lazy... It long enough.."

  • I think everybody is curious when they're growing up. I don't measure regularly or anything, but I did when I was younger. Sure.

  • even kept track of it from when i was really young.

    • So do you measure it periodically? Like yearly? lol

    • yes, but i stopped when it stopped growing XD

    • Are you happy with your penis? :)

  • I think every guy has, All the studies show flaccid (soft) lengths and erect length (measured on top to tip), also most clinical studies are BPEL (bone pressed erect length), this is where the ruler is pressed against the pelvis/pubic bone, this negates the test subject physical fitness. Heavier men have more fat above the bone, making the visual penis shorter. By pressing, like during sex, you get the accurate length. Only guys on the internet compare during discussions on the subject. I think guys that "try" exercises have measuring schedules. There isn't anything that works for lengthen, but I think they can affect girth.

    • I only started doing research, measuring again when I had a couple condoms break.. with one being a pregnancy scare.. NOT fun. The studies are few and far between, in small groups in one location so the average# varies greatly by which study/country you use. The stupidest thing is the condom water balloon videos, it is completely unrealistic and irresponsible to post as condoms due break... it's called friction. I didn't know condoms where sized (are selected by) girth "not by Length". I don't know why all the questions about length only... as girth is more important to the women (her comfort/pleasure), condom sizing and can't be adjusted for like extra length can be. The big problem in the USA is that condoms above 57mm width aren't available (in stores). If you need larger, you have to order online/over seas... which isn't realistic if your out.

  • Never measured and never will
    way I see it, I'll either get an inflated ego or an insecurity
    so happy not knowing :p

    • That's a good mentality to have :)

  • I agree, I think most guys will have measured their size at one stage or another.
    Personally I would find it odd if a guy didn't know his size.

    • Did you?

    • Yes I have

    • Lol late

  • I seem to be a rare breed. I've never measured mine.

    • That's good :) Are you happy with it?

    • Yes, I'm happy with it. That's another rarity, I suspect. I have never really contemplated the question, "Are you happy with it?" It's almost akin to asking me if I'm happy with my right index finger. I suppose a more pertinent question, one that I have in fact contemplated, is if I'm happy with my love life. It seems many men believe the penis size question and love life question are practically one in the same. I don't think they are.

    • How can we all be more like you? Seriously. I wish we all carried the mentality you have sometimes.

  • i've done it in the past... and my penis is as BIG as a BIG Mac!

    www.smiley-lol.com/.../napoleon1.gif

  • i like to not know my size!
    it makes it a great mystery so faar no one has complained so i am content
    could it be bigger? of course always lol
    do i care, hell no lol
    i got better things to do than measure my cock lol

    • That's a good mentality to have. :) But bigger isn't always better. As long as you're happy with your penis :)

    • Haha very happy! it works!!! lol

    • That's good :)

  • I've never measured. At a glance? Big enough. Whatever.

    Got a laugh out of the poll results though. 😋

    • Why? At how many men measure it? I hope all you men are happy with your penises :)

    • Yes, at how many measure. It's really not that big a deal.

  • Mine is old shribbled up that's all i can tell ya

    • Lol so I guess you haven't measured it?

  • I've measured before out of curiosity, but it's not something I do on a regular basis. My understanding of the proper technique is to take a ruler, and press one end against the pubic bone and measure along the top side of the penis when it's hard.

    • Are you happy with it? I'm a Tad Curious haha.

    • @Asker I like how you got the joke in my username! lol Am I happy with what I have? I guess I should be, because there's nothing wrong with being average. But sometimes I wish I had another inch, and I was more of a shower than a grower. But you work with what you have.

    • Penis size isn't everything. Yes, work with what you have. :)

  • I'm a Cyclops lol

    • Um what? Lol Can you still measure with one eye? :P

  • Measured it a billion times and it keeps coming out to 5 feet

    *shrugs*

    • Lmao too small for a sword fight. Sorry Jacky boy :(

    • DANG IT

    • That's the same ruler fishermen use.

  • Why measure? Just eyeball it.

    • Lots of guys seem to measure lol

  • Most guys have. Some are constantly remeasuring other's not so much. I don't measure mine anymore, but I have when I was younger. So obviously I know my length. I never did measure the circumference though. Also you can't really measure it flaccid, it expands and contracts in the flaccid state randomly. It's a very weird organ, just be thankful you're a girl.

    • That second sentence sounds really wrong if you don't read it right. I really needed to put a comma in there.

    • Lol it's ok. I get you
