The truth about girth.

It difficult to get a good girth measurement using a string or a tape measure.

I have discovered a more accurate way for the measurement of girth. The attachment is of a circle template. As you can see there are a series of holes in this template. One of these hole will fit your shaft. You will be surprised and, probably not pleasantly, at what your true girth size is.

Once you find the hole (so to speak) that touches both sides of your shaft all you have to do is multiply that by pi. For me the head touched 1-1/2” hole, while the shaft only could fill the 1-3/8” hole. This method leaves little to self inturpetation.

In my case for example.

1-1/2” = 1.5 X 3.14(pi) = 4.71 ” for the head

1-3/8” = 1.38 X 3.14 = 4.33” for the shaft.

This template can be purchased at any stationery store. For instance Staples.

One of you UK guys will have to figure this out in your language because I am really not that smart. :)

This template goes up to 2-1/4”. Which means if you filled that hole your girth would be 7.85”. Keep pulling boys you’ll get there.:D

Wouldn’t this assume that your cock is a perfect cylinder?

Interesting! You could take a permanent marker and write the diameter near each hole so you wouldn’t need to figure it but once. I use a paper tape measure. I don’t know where it came from but it works super.

I use a seamstress tape measure (pliable cloth/plastic laminate) I purchased for little of nothing at Walmart. I also use it when working out in the gym for girth measurements around my arms and chest. Works super.later, d

I just use paper ruler. Works. By the way, this title is misleading.

It is??

Yes.

My penis is oval shaped, but, I could quite easily f*ck the first hole, can you show me where to get one? ;)

I’m afraid I have to agree with several of these guys: unless your cock is perfectly cylindrical and happens also to correspond to one of the sizes in the template exactly, this would not be at all accurate. If your cock in cross-section is oval like most, you’d either be left with gaps (leading to an over-estimation), or you’d have to cram it into a smaller hole to eliminate the gaps, which would compress the wider sides (leading to underestimation). I am also curious why you feel it’s difficult to get a good measurement using a cloth tape or string.

Hmmmm. This is why we need an open forum. My swantz is pretty much cylintrical. I guess I wasn’t thinking about you oval dicks.:)

The problem I have with the string or cloth tape measure is that even when I am erect my penis still has some sponginess to it. I never know what is the right amount of tension. Plus being an old guy if I mess around trying to read a tape I forget what I am doing and that really messes up the measurement.

I use cloth tape measure. I can’t imagine it being that spongey! If you are measuring for gains just put it around very lightly. Usuable girth…, will a vagina squeeze that thing down that much? I hope you improve that erection firmness!, kegels? If its really that bad just squeeze blood into it and get it at a good firmness… good luck. The pi method is definately not to be used.

Monument,

What kind of a PE program have you been doing, and for how long? Has it improved your erections at all? It’s okay not to have rock-hard erections (and very normal for an older guy), I’m just wondering if it’s something you’ve seen improvement in, as many have with PE.

I always do a warm up and a warm down. One day is 15 mins of stretching and then the next day is 15 min of wet jelqing. Then 1 or 2 days depending how I feel of rest. Kegels whenever. I started in September.

Yes I have seen improvement since I started. I also ordered some L-arginine that was recommended to me by a fellow pe-er. I haven’t started that yet.

Even if there was a more accurate way of measuring girth it would not have been used by any of the average size surveys or by anyone on this board past and present, so would be kinda pointless. If it meant everyones results are lower, then the average would be lower so it wouldn’t mean anything. I’m confusing myself but I hope this makes sense to people.

Super Idea! I’d hate to get Jimmy stuck in one of the holes…

I use a piece of floss that is a little longer than my girth say 6.25 inches. I apply a little lube so that the floss will stick to my skin. I apply the floss and then measure the amount it overlaps itself. If I measure 1/4 inch overlap then my girth is 6 inches.
