Wife says I'm bigger but measurements read the same

Well, that’s pretty much it. I’ve been pumping for about a week and a half and last night my wife said that, lately, I’d felt bigger to her, both in length and thickness. However, I measure pretty often (more often than I should) and the measurements indicate the same size. Still, I’m not measuring while her and I are having sex, so maybe I am a little larger when in the moment. Anybody had this happen before? I’m sure I’m not the first.

On a side not, I’ve told my wife about PE and when she inquired last night as to how big I was now, I told her. Just the NPBEL, though. Funny thing is that she found it hard to believe. She said I felt bigger than that to her. That’s why I don’t want her to measure it before I go inside her. If she wants to think that I’m 8” NBPEL (when I’m actually 7”), let sleeping dogs lie. Know what I mean?

Aha, yes you mean ‘Let’s her tell to her friends that I’m 8”, astute guy.

Maybe you feel bigger because your erections are harder?

I agree with this guy. Your penis will feel bigger before you see any actual gains. That’s the way it was for me.

I think girth is especially hard to measure precisely. I felt significantly tighter in my wife before I could document a definite gain. I think that an increase in girth may shorten the vaginal canal a fraction and make the same length feel longer. And who cares who big it measures if it feels better anyway?

This is a good reason to stealth PE. Hell 9.9 out of 10 guys could lose 1 inch and the wife/girlfriend is going to tell them its bigger to stroke their ego.

Nothing against people who don’t stealth PE. But its a perfectly good example of why to do it. BUT.. in your wife’s defense maybe you are tapping that ass shortly after you have pumped and she is getting the bigger deal with blood and fluid build up “temp gains”.

By measurement time it has subsided and the temp gains are gone? Just a theory.

If you have pumped before sex you will have a larger penis due to some edema and non cemented gains. I find pumping gives me harder erections as well so that might be part of it. But you are on the way to cementing those gains. Isn’t it scary how a woman can detect miniscule changes in penis size before the measuring tape can pick it up? They may be off on actual length or girth but on knowing whether its bigger or smaller they know.

If you are pumping frequently odds are you actually ARE bigger when you are fucking her. Whenever I fucked my ex even up to 4 hours after a pump session she comments that I feel bigger. She booty called me after a particularly good pump session, and I still remember her words while I was fucking her, “what the hell happened to your dick!? It feels HUGE!” Afterwards she said she thought it was the biggest she had had, which she was confused by. Also, pumping can cause some crazy hard erections.

You all aren’t taking into account erection quality. If you’re 6.5x5, but have a somewhat spongy erection, a plump, firm, rigid 6.5x5 would make a hell of a lot of difference in her vagina.

I have a feeling that’s why your wife “senses” differently from your measurements.

I don’t think my wife told me that to stroke my ego because that’s something that she has never done before. Besides, she’s known about my PE for a while and never said anything until I started the pumping. I’ve got to admit that one of the times that we did it were very shortly after a pumping session.

That is probably the explanation to it then. Keep us posted on if those gains start to stick around. I am trying to overcome a 3 month + plateau and have thought about adding pumping to my routine.

My wife would lie like a rug when it comes to my penis. I was “somewhat” open about my insecurities about it when we first married, but learned to not mention it anymore pretty quickly. I got the “its the perfect size” response. Boy let me tell you that helps =)

I also think, that the light lymph fluid buildup helps for your wife to feel fuller during sex, and I am sure that your EQ while having sex is better than it used to, so overall, your wife is dealing with a bigger cock while having sex, eventhough your measurements show no change.

Perhaps she tells you so to encourage you and get more sex? :D

Not a bad idea. However, if that were the case, I think she would have tried that route a while ago. :)

My hand keeps telling me the same thing. Feels thicker but measures the same :(
