Unit width and girth

Here´s something I was wondering about. What is the average width of the penis? And does it increase much when you gain girth?

I think I have quite a lot girth reading because the lower chamber of my dick is relatively flat (although improving), which I think comes from lying on my dick while sleeping sometimes. I´m now sleeping on my back more, and my girth workout will hopefully remedy the damage caused (if it was indeed the sleeping).

Anyway the width of my unit is approximately 1.75” it could be a little higher or lower, I need to measure it properly.

My starting EGMS was bang on 4.5” really. This was with a pretty flat lower chamber. Nowadays the base has a higher girth reading, and the lower chamber sticks out a lot more than the more external parts which leads me to believe that I may have flattened the lower chamber by sleeping on it, and that if I hadn´t and had a more jutting out lower chamber like it should be, that my girth would be better, perhaps 5” as it is at the base now.

What´s yours, and what´s your EG reading?

Also, in your PE career, if you´ve had a girth gain, has it been the lower chamber expanding, the width of the cavernosa increasing, general inflation to a more round shape or a combination of those factors?

Thanks for your time. I was going to make this into a poll but it would end up a little messy.

I have a problem with the corpus spongiosum as well. My measurements are distorted because of it. I am almost 2 inches across the shaft and I was only 5 total girth. PE has helped this out a great deal. I am still the same across but am now at 5.25 total girth. I do not sleep on my stomach so I couldn’t tell you if that has anything to do with the flatness of my penis.

Yes, unfortunately it´s not just sleeping badly that can cause it.

Anyone else?

Interesting point. The top view will look good but the side view will show a thinner dick. I used to think my side view was not that good, looks like it’s not all that bad. My width @ base is 1 7/8, mid is 1.625, EGMS=5.5, EGB=5.625.

Unfortunately I didn’t measure girth before starting PE, but width at the base used to be 1 5/8” & it’s now 1 7/8

Your penis is very close to mine, I’m 1 7/8” across when starting, and 5” grith, my width hasn’t increased, but my girth is 1/8” bigger.

I’m pretty much 1.9” or something in width, and 5.4” midshaft girth. But I’m pretty phat on the “height” also.

Before I started PE my CS was barely noticeable. Now I have a nice prominent tube running under my shaft but my EG measurement has remained the same (for now).

A nice fat CS will definitely make your girth look more impressive when not looking from directly above.

ICM,

You said: “Here´s something I was wondering about. What is the average width of the penis? And does it increase much when you gain girth?”

I think the measuring of width is probably not the best indication for penis gains in thickness. By the comments already submitted, you can see that guys may have close to the same width ( or diameter ) measured across the top of their dicks but differ dramatically in girth. Also, there’s no law that says that width couldn’t also be alternatively measured down the sides of their dicks instead. Overall girth (circumference) measurement can fluctuate wildly depending on the rest of the overall shape of one’s dick. We do not have perfectly shaped cylinders, so width is just one means to gauge size increases. More accuracy is obtained by measuring circumference around the dick at various locations along the shaft (midshaft, base, etc.)

For example, the width across the top of my dick is 1 7/8 inches, but width measured down the side of my dick is 2 1/4 inches. For me overall girth (circumference) is what you want to keep track of in monitoring your progress and how much penis volume you will actually be putting into your sex partner.

I doubt that sleeping face down has anything to do with a flattened penis.

C’mon now, guys.

What exercises do you recommend to increase the side of your dick? That seems to be my problem.

fortex99,

If you want just one easy exercise to use for girth gains, I would recommend dryjelqing done as often and as many times as you can each day at 80-90% erect. If you have the inclination for another technique, I would also incorporate vacuum pumping along with the dryjelqing. The combination of these two have already given me and still continue to give me substantial and steady girth gains.

I like the dryjelqs because they also work on overall penis health and length gains. The pumping for me definitely works well in combination with the dryjelqs, providing much more dramatic length and girth expansion which is temporary in the short term, but permanent in the long term. Pumping is still discounted by many who have based much of their opinions not on personal experience but on the comments of others. But those who have pumped seriously and stayed with it have personally discovered the longterm benefits, especially when pumping is done responsibly and judiciously.

You’ll have to choose what works for you and your lifestyle. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback Peforeal, but that wasn´t quite my point really. There are all sorts of girths out there and each person will have a different width, but I was after the pure statisitics of people on the board, to see what out average is (not going to happen on such a small amount of data) and also I´ve never heard anyone mention whether their width has increased.

Of course the EG measurement is all that counts in the real world, but actually, is it? Suppose I gain 1/4” girth from a more expanded CS. My gf may not notice much. If I gained a 1/4” in width, she certainly would.

Measuring width is by no means an accurate way of monitoring gains, but I am interested in the role it plays in overall girth. I wonder whether I can reach my goal of 6” EG if my width is currently only 1.75”?

Now 6” G and 2” wide.

I have gained 7mm or more in width.

IMO width measurements is telling more than girth due to the fact that the skin and the CS can affect the numbers greatly. Close to climaxe the CS swells up for most people. Also, the skin swelling after heavy workouts make the dick rounder (instead of triangular).

Give me 3-4 mm more in width and I´m done with PE :-)

ICM - why not do a poll? Give width/diameter measurements in, say, 1/8” increments from 1.5” to 3.5”. You might get more responses than by waiting for guys to post in this thread.

I have to agree with Prickle, I doubt sleeping on your dick has made any difference in the shape of it or any of its parts. If it was that easy to deform, we wouldn’t need PE.

And I agree with peforeal, dicks are not cylinders and the width is only part of what makes up the girth. Still, I see where you’re coming from. A wider dick, even if it wasn’t larger in girth, might feel different for your partner during sex.

The tunica of the corpus spongiosum (CS, the lower chamber) is more easily stretched than the very tough tunica of the corpora cavernosa (CC). Simple jelkqing might help expand it. Making your dick wider has to come from expanding the CC tunica and that takes time and a lot of work.
