Dick, how to measure?

Postby oldbeek » Wed Mar 21, 2018 10:51 pm

Last night I used bimix and thought this would be a good time to measure my length. I was 7 inch to the base before RP surgery. Now I am 6.25inch to the base. I can feel my shaft hard and swollen down between my legs. Overall shaft that gets ridged including part below my testicals is 9 inches. Would that be the overall length of the cylinders and rte extensions? Just wondering. Did I loose the 3/4 inch because my prostate used to take up 21 cm of space at the pile driver end of the shaft?

Measure from the pubic bone to the tip of the meatus (of course, you have to deal with the fat pad just above the penis by compressing it as much as possible). Measure in a straight line, not around the curve of the glans.

Measuring the under3side of the penis leaves too much variation from time to time on the same man and from man to man, also.

Overall length of the cylinder and rear tips and rear tip extensions and distal tips (yes, there are four length components to the penile implant proper) bears only a loose relationship to your penis length as seen outside the body. Approximately (APPROXIMTELY) 1/3 of the length of the implant will be buried in you pelvis. This varies from man to man depending on the shape of his pelvis and depth of his crus.

One can lose length from any number or reasons. Men who have had their prostate removed may have lost length because of surgical removal of some of their tissues. Others may lose length because scar tissue buildup prevents the full expansion/distension previously enjoyed. Scar tissue from Peyronie's disease, trauma (surgery or injury) or atrophy/shrinkage from lack of continuing daily/nightly erections. Some of these causes can be mitigated by use of a Vacuum Erection Device, but no documented length increases (over one's natural-born length) by any means other than some exotic surgeryies are known to be practical, or even possible.

This is how to accurately measure your penis.

And, as I've mentioned before - use a metric rule: the numbers are much more impressive.

Right up to the point when you have to divide by 2.5 :(

That would spoil the effect!
