You can go to a professional to get your penis measured during your next exam, but we got you if you’re keen on doing it yourself. You can trust this article.
So, here’s how you do it,
How to measure the male penis length?
Easy. First, take a tape. Or a ruler. Your fingers won’t do. Get something with a scale on it. I’m going ahead and trusting you here. You did get that glass of water, didn’t you? Before you start measuring, there are a few things you should know: like how the average penis size is just about 5.16 inches. So don’t go around expecting the tape to say 9 inches… because that’s just unrealistic. Also, don’t you go around trusting porn? Those huge appendages are the exception and not the norm. Anyway, so now that you have the tape let’s get going.
But first, wait, let’s talk about anatomy! There’s your penis and there’s the top – where it is attached to your body, and the tip – where the head or the glans is. You always measure from the top to the tip. Remove all the pubic hair, our tip is you shave yourself a bit. Also, remove any extra skin or fat or anything that’s not your penis. Start at the glans or the head of the penis and go back to where it is attractive to your pelvic region. Keep the tape or the scale straight and there you have it! If you have a scale that shows centimetres, know that 1 inch = 2.5 cm!
How to measure the girth of a male penis?
There was this study about the average male penis size conducted by Dr. Veale which says the average girth size of a male penis is about 4.5 inches, you can read up on it here:
So how do we measure the penis girth? One thing to keep in mind is that you do not want to measure the pudendal while measuring penis girth. The pudendal, or the taint is a bundle of nerves that carries sensation from your genitalia. The taint is external and is not measured while you measure the size of the male penis girth. So here’s what you do, you take that flexible tape of yours – you see you can’t take a rigid ruler because it won’t fold around the penis, but we’ve found a way around that as well, and we’re getting there in the next section – so now take the tape and wrap around the middle of the shaft of the penis to take the measurement. And there you have the diameter of the size of the girth of the male penis!
You can also use a string instead of a measuring tape. Wrap a piece of string or a piece of thread the same way you’d wrap the measuring tape around the thickest shaft of your erect penis. Pick something that doesn’t stretch to get a correct measurement. In case you take measurements of a flaccid penis, the average size of the male penis girth when it is flaccid is 3.6 inches. Tie a knot while measuring to mark the place where the ends meet, or simply use a marker to take the measurement. Take the thread out, spread the ruler-straight on it and find out the size of the girth of your penis!
