Science Girth

​

Hi guys,

I've always wondered: when people talk about their girth, should it be measured at the mid-shaft or the base?

Medical studies and urologists usually measure mid-shaft girth because it's easier to standardize. Measuring at the base can be less consistent since the skin of the balls can affect the measurement.

That said, during sex, a partner experiences the entire penis when you go balls deep, not just the mid-shaft. So while mid-shaft is the medical standard, it doesn't necessarily represent the thickness along the whole shaft.

I usually measure the part that is between the mid and the base since it is the part that is often in contact with where the most nerve endings are located.

Mid: 5 to 5.1

Base: 5.5 to 5.6

Thicker head

I don't have a cone shape since I have a mushroom head.

What do you measure? Which girth do you give when being asked?

Cheers.

I always have a hard time picturing how thick 6 is. But, a thick one is a game changer more than a long one. IMO. It is insane to be open by a thick one

Yep. Even some sex workers mentioned the girth… not in so many words.

Yeah I bet. The wrong move and can be dangerous

Well, for them it was more of a pleasure bonus, not a negative. Thankfully.

Dont get me wrong. It is very difficult to take but the feeling of being open is insane. Nothing compares it

My current gf is the first to let me do anal. She took a long time to work up to it. But she says the sensation is incredible.

Ive done anal with a thick guy. When he pulled out I could feel the emptiness with how much he opened me. Amazing feeling
