The correct way to measure the penis length and girth is important if you want to know how you compare to other men. And what is the average penis size? If you scroll down a bit you can find the results of a study that measured the penis size of 10,000 men. The information on this page has been provided by Penis Health, a site offering natural size enlargement exercises. Their membership section contains also many pictures that demonstrate how to measure a penis correctly.
Penis Size: Measuring The Flaccid Length
The flaccid length of the penis can be dictated by many things, including the temperature. This might mean that you have contradicting results depending on the temperature of the situation that you are in. Flaccid gains are the first gains that come with a penis enlargement program, to keep results accurate we have a certain standardized way of measuring the flaccid penis. To measure accurately it is important that you measure from the side of the penis. Stand up straight and extend your flaccid penis in front of you (it important NOT to stretch it), your penis should now be parallel with the floor. Place the ruler next to your penis so it is slightly pressing against the pubic bone. The ruler and your penis should be parallel with each other.
Measuring The Erect Length
The erect length is what most members are interested in. Again it is best to measure from the side of the penis. This method is the standardized method that researchers use to maesure the "average penis size" which is incidentally between 6" - 6.5" erect length. Firstly make sure you have a 100% erection where you would consider it the "most erect". Hold your penis below the head and place the ruler next to it with your other hand. The ruler should be slightly pressing against your pubic bone. A word of warning: It is important that you do not exaggerate the measurement, if anything it is recommended that you under exaggerate. Exaggeration on the measurement could lead to a lack of motivation in the future.
Measuring The Flaccid Girth
The girth can be extremely awkward to measure because many people have different size girth measurements depending on which part of the penis that you measure. The standardized way is to measure in the center of the penis shaft. When flaccid hold your penis out in front of you and wrap a tape measure around your penis. Do not pull the tape measure too hard, pull it to a reasonable level and remember this level of pull for the next time you measure. The average flaccid length of girth is between 3"-4".
Measuring The Erect Girth
Make sure your penis is 100% erect and then proceed with the measuring. Hold your penis out in front of you so it is parallel with the floor. With your other hand place the tape measure around the penis making sure not to pull too tight. The average erect girth is 5" - 5.5" according to recent surveys conducted.
What is the Average Penis Size?
So you want to know if you already have a big penis? Over the years, many researches have been done on the topic of penis sizes. One of the most reliable one is the study by The Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for sex. A sample of 10,000 men was measured and then the results compiled. The results showed that the average was 6-6.5 inches in length and the average penis girth is 5-5.5 inches.
