Measuring Your Penis Size

Sexual dysfunction is one of the most endemic problems that might strike most people at some point in their lives. Sexual dysfunction can be described as a chronic or recurrent disorder that prevents an individual from being sexually satisfied. It can lead to relationship troubles, low self-esteem, and general poor life quality. There are plenty of medical remedies available for sex dysfunction, but some people would prefer natural and home remedies. In this article, we are going to look at some effective home remedies for sexual dysfunction.

As culturally significant as it is, measuring penis size was problematic. Men might not know their true size or may be overestimating or feeling insecure about their measurements. It’s, therefore, very important to learn about penis size and dispel any myth or misconceptions associated with it.

Firstly, and foremost, it is important to note that the penis size does not reflect a man’s masculinity or sexual strength. In the eyes of the World Health Organization, an erect penis can range in size between 5 to 5.5 inches long and 4.5 to 5 inches wide. But there is no ‘normal’ or ‘perfect’ size, since the size of a penis varies widely from person to person, and may depend on genetics, age and general health.

Two basic measurements to measure the penis size are length and girth.

Length: Length of the penis is the length from the tip to the base, and Girth is the circumference of the penis at the widest part. You can measure length using a ruler or measuring tape. Place the ruler or tape on top of the penis, resting it slightly on the pubic bone, and take measurements from base to tip. To gauge size, put a measuring tape around the thickest area of the penis when it is upright without tying it too tightly.

It is vital to count the penis when it is upright, because this is when it is at its largest. Measuring with a flaccid penis will give you the wrong measurement because it will vary greatly in size between the two states. And don’t get me started on the fact that the length of a man’s flaccid penis doesn’t necessarily equal its length when held straight.

The angle of the erection is also another point to think about when measuring penis size.

The penis might be tilted at different angles when it’s standing straight and this might affect length. It is the best way to gauge length if you measure it from the top of the penis, where the most noticeable length is visible. Taking a measurement from the side or bottom can shorten it.

You also have to measure the penis at various intervals to obtain a better average. Size depends on arousal, temperature, and time of day. Some men also report a marked difference in size between morning and evening erections.

Beyond anthropometric, another approach to determining the size of the penis is self-measurement.

Men may think that their penis is small or big than it really is. Media, social pressure and individual insecurity all contribute to this perception. But there are a few experiments showing that the size of your penis depends on what you perceive. This means that penis size should be based on physical statistics rather than self-estimation.

Besides checking the physical size of the penis, it’s also essential to check one’s sexual health and performance. When a man can manage to get and maintain an erection, and if he’s having a good time with his sexual experience, it shouldn’t matter how big his penis is.

It is important, too, to remember that the size of one’s penis does not measure whether a person is worth knowing, or able to appease a sexual partner. Sexual enjoyment and satisfaction are not based on the size of the penis but other factors, including communication, trust and intimacy.

Let’s get to the importance (or lack thereof) of having a proper measurement of your actual penis.

We generally think that the bigger the penis, the better sexual performance and enjoyment. Yet, studies have concluded that the penis size has no bearing on sexual satisfaction. Indeed, a 2008 article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine indicated that men with smaller penises reported greater sexual satisfaction than did men with larger penises.

Moreover, the standard erect penis length is 5-6 inches and anything within that range is normal. The belief that there is a perfect size that all men ought to be is a debilitating and unattainable social construct. You must know that penis size isn’t a measurement of what you’re worth or whether you’re a man.

Sometimes, measuring the size of the penis may be necessary for medical purposes, for example, to diagnose erectile dysfunction or to figure out if a certain condom size is needed. In these cases, it’s advisable to speak with a medical expert who can accurately measure and guide you.

Influential individuals

Some of the key thinkers who have contributed to the art of calculating penis size are researchers, doctors and psychologists. One such person is Dr J Michael Bailey, a psychologist who has studied the connection between penis size and masculinity. Bailey has outlined the complicated dynamics at work behind men’s perceptions of their penis size, and challenged traditional notions of “normal” or “ideal” penis size.

Future developments

The future of measuring penis size is under research and development. It is possible that technological advancements (such as 3D scanning or VR) can offer new opportunities to accurately gauge the size of the penis. Other fields of interest also include the connection between penis size and sexual activity, and the effects of social norms and values on men’s attitudes to their bodies.

Conclusion

Sexual dysfunction is one of the most prevalent issues that may occur to any individual at any point in life. Sexual dysfunction can be described as a chronic or repeated disorder that prevents an individual from feeling sexually fulfilled. You can use many medications to cure yourself, but others may prefer home remedies. Regular exercise, herbal supplements, acupuncture, mind-body therapies, a balanced diet, counselling and kegel exercises could yield gains in sexual function and desire. Getting a doctor’s assistance is one of the things that must be done before any home remedy can be undertaken as there is always the risk of it side-affecting other medications or being harmful to health.
