So you measure it from the top of the base I assume? To the peak? Which is usually the outlet point?

Um... *Some* people exaggerate, mostly in a joking way though... When I've actually had legit level conversations with guys there's rarely THAT level of exaggeration... In fact, of the guys I've had enough experience with, they were all being fairly close to accurate... An inch and a half is a HUGE difference, a bit much to use as a specific number to chop off every guy's claim of size...Anyway, my experience as a gay man is that most men either exaggerate deliberately or have no idea what they're talking about, and if a man claims he has 7" then the real-world number is usually 5.5".
I thought it was the middle of the shaft for girth.So you measure it from the top of the base I assume? To the peak? Which is usually the outlet point?
Yep. From against the pubic bone (lightly) to tip for length, and from the widest part all the way around for girth.

But isn't it wider at the base of the head?
As in, the base of the head itself.
No, that's cool. I suppose it makes sense, in that a vagina wouldn't care overmuch where the circumference is coming from, so long as it's there (unless there's something I'm not considering).I thought it was the middle of the shaft for girth.Yep.

Usually the widest part is near the middle, but it definitely has to be at the widest part, otherwise the circumference is going to be wrong. It would be like taking measurements of someone's waist in the middle of their body, instead of where it's actually located.
Purely anecdotally, just from watching a bunch of porn, the site of greatest width appears all over the place.I do know of some where the base of the head is narrower than the middle of the shaft. I'm not sure of the majority though, and I wonder if that question has been answered somewhere.
According to Adam Corolla you measure from the base to the tip, then underneath to the anus and then (for old times sake) back to the tip again, this will give you a true measurement.So you measure it from the top of the base I assume? To the peak? Which is usually the outlet point?

One day I was stuck in the doctor's waiting room and looking on his vast coffee table for something to read. This doctor was quite the culture buff and there was NO gossip magazines just stodgy journals about architecture or opera. But I did find a medical journal. I opened it up at random and OMG!!! It was a full double page spread of photos of diseased penises.
There was at least 60 photos. They were numbered so you could refer to another part of the journal and see what those lesions and weepy bits were in medical terms. It was quite a shock.
Anyway that's the most I've ever seen in one place and I didn't take too much note of the size of the heads in relation to the shafts.

I also like this method for other reasons.

Well, YMMV, but it's my experience that most men wouldn't know a real inch if it bit them on the ass.Um... *Some* people exaggerate, mostly in a joking way though... When I've actually had legit level conversations with guys there's rarely THAT level of exaggeration... In fact, of the guys I've had enough experience with, they were all being fairly close to accurate... An inch and a half is a HUGE difference, a bit much to use as a specific number to chop off every guy's claim of size...Anyway, my experience as a gay man is that most men either exaggerate deliberately or have no idea what they're talking about, and if a man claims he has 7" then the real-world number is usually 5.5".

A sewing tape measure and a little bit of effort will yield more accurate figures, but I figure most guys just guesstimate anyway.

It comes in handy that my mom's a seamstress. We have sewing tape measures all over the place.![]()

It's not difficult -- just hold a ruler up to the thing. Are most guys really just wildly guessing?
