Are you the man who wants to know about his penis size and how large he is or if his partner will like his length? Don’t worry because here are some ways you can measure your penis size.
How to Take the Right Measurements of a Penis
Often people find it difficult to properly measure the penis length.
Be it self-knowing, checking the effects of pills and exercise or any research work, you need to know the right method of measurement to get accurate details.
There are two types of measurement, one which is done during erection and the other, which is done during the flaccid state. Let us see how it can be measured.
- The erect measurement
A measurement which is done when the penis is fully erectile is what we call erect measurement. There are two parameters to this measurement. They are the length and the girth.
Measuring the Erect Length
The maximum percentage of men is interested in this length of the penis. This is actually what matters to everyone. The best method to find out the erect length of the penis is from the sides.
You can take help from your partner, but make sure that you take help only from a person with whom you are completely comfortable.
Comfort affects the erection as well. Make sure the penis is fully erect (100%).
Only you are the one, who can tell if your penis is fully erect or not. If you do not feel ready for the measurement, you can do it the next time.
Do not force yourself to a routine. Otherwise, none of the measurement will come out to be accurate.
However, if you wish to take the length of your penis yourself, it is good to know your penis type before measuring the erect length of your penis.
Some men have a curved penis while some have a straight penis.
If your case is the former, then it is best to make use of a thread. Place the thread along the curves of your dick from your waist to the tip of your penis.
Hold the point of the thread at the tip of your penis and stretch it on a ruler. People having a straight penis can measure their lengths in a straight forward way.
Alternatively, you can follow a method, which is used by researchers to measure the average length.
Make sure you take a flexible measuring tape with proper markings. Keep the tape at the side base and stretch up to the head.
Note down the reading including the nearest millimeter reading. The minute change matters a lot if you are taking a pill.
Measuring the Erect Girth
Again do this measurement only if your penis is fully erect. Hold your penis parallel to the ground and encircle the tape around the penis. Make sure it is neither too loose nor too tight.
You will need your partners to help to measure the girth accurately.
Alternatively, if you only have a hard tape, you should find yourself a piece of thread (the thread should be longer than your penis).
Use it to measure the girth of your penis by circling the thread around the center of your penis. Next, hold the spot of the thread marking one round circle and spread it on your hard ruler.
Also, note that the penis girth varies. Thus this measurement should be done repeatedly. Again, your girth should be measured when your penis is at full strength for the best results.
- The flaccid measurement
This measurement is done when your penis is at rest. This measurement is the first thing that you need to do after penis exercise or to check the effects of the pill.
Measuring the Flaccid Length
Hold your penis in your hand parallel to the ground. Make sure you do not stretch it. Now start the measurement from the side base in the same way as measuring the erect length.
Make sure you measure the millimeters as well. One thing that should be noticed while measuring flaccid length is the temperature.
Make sure the temperature is not too cold or hot, which can affect the flaccidness.
To get an accurate result, ensure you make use of a flexible measuring tape for it instead of a rigid one.
However, if you only have a rigid tape, you can make use of a thread in a similar manner for measuring the penis when it is erect.
Measuring the flaccid girth
While measuring the girth of the penis, make sure you encircle the middle of the shaft in the tape. Often people make the mistake of measuring the girth near the head.
To make sure you get the accurate reading, you should definitely hold the penis parallel to the ground and do proper measurement i.e. neither too loose nor too tight.
Getting a penis measurement done the right way is a great way to track the progress of a penis enlargement program. Just ensure you keep records of these measurements.
Also, a repeat of the penis measurement should be done periodically for consistency and a better understanding of your progress.
In conclusion, we can say that several men want to measure their penis size and what their size means to others. We have provided enough information to help you accurately measure your penis size and what it means.
