    I've never measured, although I can imagine you, uhh... get yourself an erection, and take the ruler to the base of your penis, and measure from the base to the tip?

    ok with out being too graphic.

    while your penis is erect, measure using a ruler the legnth from the base to the tip. if you are carrying a bit, or a lot of weight IE: you have more than 2% body fat, there will be some fatty tissue in your pelvis area, push this back till you feel the pelvic bone and measure from here. this will give you your most accurate measurement.

    NOTE: there is no direct relationship between the size of a flacid penis and an erect penis.


    another note; the average size of an erect penis is 5.5 inches and 1.5 inches in diameter. also, studies have shown that the size of the erect penis with a partner is larger, both in length and girth if you are stimulated by a partner as opposed to self stimulation, but that self stimulation will give a fairly accurate base measurement of the penis.

    hope this helps.

    I wasn't sure if you measured from behind your scrotum or in front at the base of the penis when erect ... I seem to be about 7 inches...

    not sure if thats big or small

    Umm, 7 inches is well above average, so, yeah....

    And as it's been said, you measure from the top at the base, not underneath near the scrotum.

    Tape measure is best. Get an erection and hold back any fat/hair in the pubic area and measure from the top side of the penis, from tip to abdomen. Then measure around from the base. The average erect penis is 5.15 inches long and 4.5 inches in circumference. FWIW, I'm about 6 inches long and 5.5 inches around. And BTW, there's nothing wrong at all with being a grower and not a shower.

    I'm only 4 inches, so again small just like everything else for me. I used tape measure, got an erection and measured from the base to the tip.

    I have measured 7 inches in length, including my foreskin tip, and from the base
    till the end of the foreskin, and then circumference is 3.5 inches

    When scientific studies are done you are supposed to measure the penis foreskin pulled down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_penis_size

    7 inches puts you in the top 5%-10% in penis sizes depending on the reference group. Globally top 10% percent and top 5% among Australians.

    Watching porn gives you distorted view of the penis size. As you may be aware, the main qualifications for becoming a porn star have nothing to do with acting skills but revolve mostly among the size of "the equipment" and ability to ejaculate on command.

    Also, guys rarely see each others penises erect. There is little correlation between penis size when erect and non-erect. My penis, when not erect, is fairly small compared to what I have seen in locker rooms and saunas. Also my dad has huge "tool" when flaccid. I was totally surprised when my partner told me that I have a quite big penis (I'm 7 inches too). His was about 2 inches shorter.

    measure along the top of the penis, IE the side you usually look at, and if that's 7 inches. you are large guy indeed. the average human penis is 5.5 inches.
