Plenty of times.

I use to measure it quite regularly as a teen (ages 13-15 specifically) because I was really insecure about size and worried that when a girl saw it she would laugh at me.

I still measure it from time to time due to the fact that I was a late bloomer and can probably safely assume that at almost 21 I may still be going through puberty as I'm still growing and becoming hairier in bursts (my entire body, not my penis).

So yeah, I've measured length and girth both flaccid and erect and all the imaginable stages in between.

Uh... The captcha is 'ding-dong'

Anyway, I'm surprised by the number of people who haven't. That just doesn't seem normal to me. How else will you know how you stack up to the average?

Speaking of which, I used to think that my little soldier was smaller than average. This was because I was a dumb teenager who drew his generalization about penis sizes from watching Pornography. Thankfully when I actually took the measurement and looked up actual averages, I found that mine was quite a bit bigger than the average. Confidence level, through the roof.

Before, yes.

It was a few years ago, and I can't remember the result. I don't really care now, so I doubt I will do it again.

Yeah, I'll admit I have--more than once, in fact (since it can vary). My length is usually pretty average.

To answer a question several people have asked, it's measured full mast, and with a measuring tape that follows the curve (not something straight like a ruler unless your penis isn't curved at all). Girth is measured at the thickest part, the position of which varies from one person to the next. If you are overweight, try pressing your pubis to get the longest measurement you can to make up for the fact that some of it is "inside". As far as I know average sizes are computed in this way.
Some studies measured from the top and others from the bottom, the bottom length being higher. As far as I know the most common way for people to measure themselves is the top measurement. However the average, I'm not sure which it usually corresponds to. That could account for the 1 inch range.

Flaccid length is unimportant, erect length however tends to be about 12-15 inches in everyone.

Don't worry guys, they meant 12-15cm, or 5-6 inches. Also there is a 95% confidence interval of 10-19 cm (4 1/4-7 1/2 in), which means that 95% of the people fall between these two figures.

And yes, all the figures here are for erect size, flaccid length varies more as far as I know, and no correlation has been found between flaccid and erect length(in other words, some people are growers, some people are showers).

I think the average girth is close to the average length, about 5 inches around.

No, I just really like penises :D

LOL... that's fair enough! Perhaps you have a much more analytical take on your love for them than most women/gay guys I know. That would make an interesting hobby, I'm sure. =P Do you record them at all? /jk

Well, I have known guys, either boyfriends or male friends, who seemed to lack self confidence about their penises, whether that they just found them ugly, or that they thought they were too small, or complained that they had a weird angle, or various things really. I just wanted to help men get confidence that their things are beautiful because I think so. So on that specific subject I've found that facts alone help, because many guys who think they're small actually aren't, and to those who actually are, the facts about how partners of small endowed males report higher sexual satisfaction tend to reassure them.

And sometimes, just knowing that there are women who take interest in them is enough to make straight guys feel a little bit better (I assume that issue comes up less with gay and bi guys). It makes me sad that anyone with a penis would think it's ugly or hate it (exception allowed for trans women, although even they can learn to appreciate them). So I want to try and tell people that yeah, there is variety, and usually not two of them look alike, and that they shouldn't sweat it.

as a transgender who will, sadly, probably never be able to scrape together enough money to transition, i cant help but take issue with that statement. maybe im misinterpreting what you meant, but it kinda seemed like you were saying that trans people can learn to just be happy with the cards they are dealt. while some people may choose never to transition or keep their penis (and some people just completely lose their sex drive after transitioning), someone who feels they were born into the wrong gender cannot just choose the feel comfortable with their body, any more than a homosexual can choose to be heterosexual. if i just completely misread what you meant, i apologize. i admit that sometimes i can be overly sensitive when it comes to transgender issues

The only guys who haven't measured or thought about measuring their penises are the ones without anything to measure them by.

.

Two questions though, for those of you out there who can answer:
- Is it generally measured lengthwise from above, or beneath? Superior, or inferior?
- And do you only measure the visible penile tissue, or all of it (assuming that the fat is moved aside when bumping uglies)? Because ignoring the old pubic padding really makes a difference.

.

Also, a little pointer (pun absolutely intended): in my experience, masturbation seems to "deflate" the penis a bit, as your hand tends to compress and squeeze some of the blood out of the glans and shaft.

.

Yah, I think you know my answer to your question.

What I meant is:
a) I understand why transwomen would be a different case and why it would be harder if not sometimes impossible for them to appreciate their penises.
b) this being said, I've known transpeople (of both genders) who were happy with their genitals (for instance Buck Angel for transmen) so I know it's possible.

My point wasn't "transwomen should suck it up and love their bodies" or anything like that, but a clarification to prevent offending women who are comfortable with having a penis. I don't want to dictate how they should feel about it, and I'm aware some of them enjoy their penises, and I don't think doing so means they're not real women.
In other words, I don't think you have to go through surgery or be miserable that you couldn't in order to be a woman (or, taken the other way around, a man).

I have to say though, if I had a friend for whom surgery wasn't an option, I would probably try to help her enjoy what she's got (including, but not limited to, her penis). I don't think it means it's easy or an issue you can brush off and be dismissive about. It would be more like helping someone who's lost their dominant arm learn to use the other because a bionic replacement isn't available at this time.

I hope my point is clearer now, and I'm sorry for any offense I caused. It wasn't my intention at all.

Honestly, for a while, I was one of those guys who did feel insecure about his size, right up until the moment I lost my virginity. In my case, I suppose I was lucky to have a girlfriend that I trusted implicitly to share that moment with. Since then, the fact that I know how to pleasure a woman has made me not care about it, pretty much, at all.

Granted, I worry about a plethora of more important things in my quest for a new relationship.

Anyway, you sound like a very cool person to hang out with, if you don't mind me saying so. :)

(Trying to think of a way of saying that with more inference to sophistry - classical definition as opposed to modern...)
