Erect length and implant size

Postby Captain1117 » Fri Jun 12, 2020 2:44 pm

Is there a rule of thumb for pre op erect length and implant sizing.
How deep does the corpora extend inside the body..is it same as we see outside as usable penile length?

I am currently at 13cm erect, bone pressed. I have low body fat and improving slowly month by month..aim is to be sub 10 percent body fat.

What length of implant can I expect.

Rule of thumb is 1/3 inside your body and 2/3 outside your body. But, of course, this will vary widely among men. Some men have a deep crus (determined by the shape of your pelvic structure) and some men, shallow. Also affecting the length of the usable penis is the thickness of the pad of flash (commonly called "fat pad") coverying your pubic bone just above the base of your penis. Another variable is how much of your glans is (eventually) in front of the tips of the implant. This last dimension should not be too variable, as the optimal range is limited: too much and the glans is not fully supported ("floppy glans" makes penetrative sex more difficult) and too little and erosion of the tips through the glans is a danger.

The ONLY definitive measure is found by measuring the dimensions inside your penis during surgery.

To elaborate on Lost Sheep's post, some men have the crus or proximal penis as deep as almost to their anus inside the perineum. Mine on the other hand is so shallow that it barely attaches to the pubic bone at the front-most part of the pelvis. That's the only way I could imagine having a 15cm implant with almost 15cm of external penis length from the bone (including the glans).

While the extra outside length has the benefit of a longer penis, the shorter internal length results in erections which tend to point down. I recall an erection which watched me shave, rather than one now watching me shine my shoes.

Thanks Hrc for sharing.

You have a great penis...I could seen in the video with reference to Dr.Kramers hand it looked huge.

For me, the correlation was opposite, so I guess it is related to anatomy: 26 cm length implant (24+2), erect size is 16 cm.
