Circumfrence shape MATTERS!!!

Let’s not forget the Z axis!

My cock is 26-dimensional.

Awesome insight Gimli! I suppose the next step should be ‘The Quest for the Perfect "Circular" Penis’.

I was just going to chime in about the elliptical shape also, as it does look wider from the top (even if it has the appearance of a flattened eel) and it does stretch the sides more.

I wonder if there is a way you can coax the penis into growing certain girth ways. I remember a member on this site who would use sandwich grip jelqing. Maybe that will create more of an elliptical shape. Here is the thread, post #7: Dry Jelq

A lot.

In my limited experience, I’ve found that the majority of women lean towards thicker dicks. There are eexceptions a smaller group prefer not so thick, generally fellatio devotees.

Where do these girls hang out? :)

Gimli

I would also support the women favoring thicker penises from my experiences with girls. I’m sure this has already been found, but I found this neat little survey on the web : http://www.biom edcentral.com/c … 72-6874-1-1.pdf

Essentially, 50 female college students were polled, and 45 said they preferred girth over length.

Gimli

I would agree with this. I think the girl feeling more full and stretched width wise would be more desirable if one had to choose.

Gimli, awesome post dude.
But it seems as if because of the difference in shapes
No ONE girth may be truly the same even though they may measure the same.

Excellent example of pointing it out.

Makes perfect sense. Although, I can’t see why you would use a square shape in comparison to a circular one when most penises are elliptically shaped. I think this topic has been covered in the various posts on measuring penis volume as well.

The approximate cross-sectional area of a penis should be calculated using the formula for the area of an ellipse. This is especially the case if a penis is noticeably elliptical, which I imagine most are to some degree.

The formula for the area of an ellipse is a slight variation on that for a circle. Area = pi*A*B where A is the long axis and B is the short axis. So, if your penis has a thickness of 2” when you measure from one side to the other across the top and a thickness of 1.5” when you measure from one side to the other from top to bottom, A = 2”/2 = 1” and B = 1.5”/2 = 0.75”. This particular penis would have a cross-sectional area of Area = (3.14)(1”)(0.75”) = 2.355 inches squared.

You can also see how the equation doesn’t stray far from Area = pi*r^2 by calculating the area of an ellipse with equal axes. Every circle is an ellipse, but not every ellipse is a circle.

Accurately calculating the perimeter of an ellipse requires more than just the values of the long and short axes. However, an approximate calculation can be made using the formula Pe = 2*pi*[1/2 (A^2 + B^2)]^1/2

What it all boils down to is the ratio of A to B for your penis. A penis with a 1:1 ratio is circular and a penis with a ratio exceeding about 1.15:1 is around the low end of being noticeably elliptical. So, how does this all relate to perimetral girth measurements? Does having an elliptical penis really put you at a disadvantage?

Let’s compare four penises. The first is 8” x 6” with a uniform circular cross-section of the shaft, the second is 8” x 6” with an A/B ratio of 1.15:1, the third is 8” x 6” with an A/B ratio of 1.25:1 and the fourth is 8” x 6” with an A/B ratio of 1.5:1. I could be wrong, but I don’t think too many penises have a long axis that exceeds the value of the short axis by more 50%.

#1

Given:
P = 6”
Circular Shape

P = 2*pi*r
r = 6 / (2*pi)
r = 0.955”

Area = pi*r^2
Area = 2.86 inches squared

#2

Given:
P = 6”
A/B = 1.15:1
==> A = 1.15B

P = 2*pi*[1/2 (A^2 + B^2)]^1/2

Sub A = 1.15B

6 = 2*pi*[1/2 (2.32B^2)]^1/2
B = 0.887”

A = 1.15B
A = 1.02”

Area = A*B*pi
Area = 2.84 inches squared

#3
—-

Given:
P = 6”
A/B = 1.25:1
==> A = 1.25B

P = 2*pi*[1/2 (A^2 + B^2)]^1/2

Sub A = 1.25B

6 = 2*pi*[1/2 (2.56B^2)]^1/2
B = 0.844”

A = 1.25B
A = 1.06”

Area = A*B*pi
Area = 2.81 inches squared

#4
—-

Given
P = 6”
A/B = 1.5:1
==> A = 1.5B

P = 2*pi*[1/2 (A^2 + B^2)]^1/2

Sub A = 1.5B

6 = 2*pi*[1/2 (3.25B^2)]^1/2
B = 0.749”

A = 1.5B
A = 1.12”

Area = A*B*pi
Area = 2.63 inches squared

===============================

What does all this say?

Comparing penises #2, #3 and #4 to penis #1 reveals:

Penis #1 is 0.7% bigger than penis #2
Penis #1 is 1.8% bigger than penis #3
Penis #1 is 8.7% bigger than penis #4

The differences in area between penises #1 and #2 and #1 and #3 are essentially negligible. And even if you have an elliptical penis with a axial ratio of 1.5:1, you are still 91.3% as big as someone that has a perfectly round penis with the same perimeter as yours. I really don’t know if ratios greater than 1.5:1 are common but if they aren’t, cross-sectional shape doesn’t seem to play a great role in filling your woman. However, a “flat” penis might have a harder time putting pressure on the G-spot area than a more rounded penis. I really don’t know though.. I don’t have a G-spot.

===============================

After wasting my time typing this out, I realized that a few Excel plots would have been far more efficient. Attached are three plots. The first plot shows cross-sectional area relative to A/B ratio for a 6” perimeter. The second and third plot size percentage relative to the baseline 6” perimeter/1:1 penis. Just to clarify, all values assume a 6” perimeter. The only variable is the A/B ratio.

I would strongly disagree. Assuming equal perimeter, there is no advantage to having an elliptical penis in my mind. Just look at sex toys. If an accentuated elliptical shape were desirable, you would likely see a lot more dildos with an inhumanly high axial ratio.

Girth and Greed,

That post with the calculations and graphs is awesome!!! I’m sending good karma your way now. Thanks for taking the time and doing all that work.

Gimli

Hey, I’m never one to turn down good karma but it wasn’t much work at all. I was somewhat curious anyway since I have about a 1.25:1 ratio myself. Had to put my own mind at ease. :)

So what your trying to say is that a round shape has more area than a square if they are the same circumference/perimeter?

This is hard for me to understand, let me soak it all in.

Alright, I think I understand. It is more beneficial to have a perfectly round penis because even though it is the same distance around, it is taking up more space. Circles are the inferior shape! Unless you want to take up more room, like with your penis.

On the volume aspect of things. If you want an honest measurement of volume, you could always fill up a jug with water (one of the cylindrical one’s that chemists use would probably be best), Get in push-up position above and pop your erect penis in. The volume of the water that exited the jug/cylinder is your erection volume.
