How a 5% girth gain can make a "big" difference

I was wondering why at 5.25 inches in girth rather than 5, I could feel a difference in my size. After all, this is a gain of only 5% in circumference. Then I remembered that what you FEEL when you hold your unit (or your girlfriend does) is the penis volume or PV (see related threads). This small girth gain took my PV from 16.25 to 18, which is a total “meat” gain of over 10%. In other words, modest girth gains equal big PV gains - and PV is what your significant other feels.

When I am really worked out after clamping and jelqing, my PV is over 20, so I’m feeling 20% more meat in my hand than I did a few months ago. No wonder it feels like someone else’s penis, even though on paper it does not seem terribly impressive.

True. That makes it even more difficult if you happen to lose some girth over a period of time.

Dangleman, that is an EXCITING thought, and yes, it does feel like holding a strangers penis when its thicker than usual due to workout (and silicon cockrings and/or a bit of weed ;-)
….not that i mind ! I got my own one all the time, for years and years, so a bit of a new feel is so sexy

Keep up the good work !

Yeah the great thing about girth gains is that their effect on volume is exponential. The bad thing is that they are so damn hard to get.

“pi r squared”: 5% in circumference is about 10% in cross-sectional area.

Dangle, I think that is an excelent point that is never stressed enough.

On an old thread around here somewhere (I can’t find it) it was discussed how, starting with an average 6x5 penis, that a .5” girth gain alone results in the same amount of meat as a 1.25” length gain, and that even meager length gains coupled with that girth make a noticible difference.

You “girth comes easy for me” folks are very, very lucky.

No shit…bastards.

;)

Is one better off using NBP or BP measurements? I would say that if you want to know what is the difference your lady will ”see”, one should use NBP. Other than that, it’s up to you I guess.

I meant for calculating the volume of course.

I had just gotten my first girth gains, and it just felt like more than a 5% difference when I held my unit. So I got to thinking … and realized that a 5% numerical increase in girth is actually over a 10% increase in “meat.”

Yes, girth is where it’s at, and I also curse those easy girth gainers!!

When I look at my dick I see the diameter, when my dick is expanded I see my diameter is barely a couple millimeters bigger. Relatively speaking the girth expands by the same but the exact expansion is the equal amount of millimeters times Pi (3.1) and that results in my dick feeling much bigger in my hands. I don’t think it has anything to do with volume.

Also what a girl feels when you’re fucking her is the outer area of your dick not the volume. Volume comes into play when you start thinking about all the blood you have to pump in your dick to get erect. So the more volume you have with the same amount of area the harder it is to get erect. Not sure if that is correct but it makes you think :p

Piet - yes, you are right, it comes down to SURFACE AREA. That is what a girl feels - the increase in SURFACE AREA that stretches her vagina. Any mathemeticians here? I am, sadly, a literature major.

It’s not that 10% more (whether diameter or meat) makes her feel 10% better.

What She feels is nonlinear.
Start with a small dick: she feels little.
Small dick becomes somewhat larger: she still feels little.
Dick becomes larger still: suddenly she starts feeling it. Yeah!
A little bit larger still: Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Where this threshold is varies for each woman.

Now what I feel when I hold 10% more meat in my hand is a different story. ;-)

Hello everyone.I’ve been lurking here for about 8 months,and jelqing for about 6.I’ve tried wet jelqing for a while but didnt like it,I’ve been dry jelqing all of this time.I don’t bother with length,just girth.I noticed that if I hold my penus fully erect at the base and do squats I gives me a hell of a workout.latley I brought a cock ring and whilst fully erect have been masterbating to the point of ejaculating,then stopping for a second or two then doing it again for up to 45 minutes,never loosing the feeling of nearly coming.it’s magic,after my balls kill me,and my cock feels so tired and worked out it feels brilliant.the reason I do this is I believe the two spongey mucles either side of my cock may not be really muceles but to grow them they should be treated and trained like them.when I am working out the sides of my cock get stronger and stronger,they have started to stick out making my cock wider and they have got solid like two steel rods.my hard ons are solid.I’ve only measured a coulpe of times and in the beginning my girth was 4 inches,and now about six months on it’s 5 and ahalf,and it makes me look twice as big.I hold my hard on from the base and squeeze my bum for about 20 mins a day and have built up a bulge between my bum and cock and my cock gets so hard it feels good.most of all I never had 1 vein and now I looks like a road map and I get a new one every other week.I’ve just had a new one pop up in the middle of my cock going all around like a ring.I’m known as sexysunny and love this site,thanks.

Great girth gains sexysunny! 4” to 5.5” must make an incredible difference:up:
