Out of curiosity, do men generally measure the lengths of their pps? I asked my fiancé and he says he hasn’t. Wondering if he’s in the minority, or if he’s actually lying and just won’t tell me.

    The way you’ve phrased the question, it sounds like you’re asking if we do it on the regular, like stepping on the scale or trying on old pants. Like it’s something we keep track off as a part of our routine.

    In which case, no. I do not measure my penis.

    I have measured my penis, once or maybe twice, back during the period of time I could reasonably expect it to still be working on attaining its final dimensions. Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be perfectly average.

    The question “Have you ever measured your penis?” will get you entirely different results than the question “Do you [‘do’ as in currently, in a continuing manner] measure your penis?”

    No, because it doesn’t matter.

    Out of 1,000 men roughly 18 of them will have a penis that is 7 inches or more.

    Basically, 1% of men (one man in a crowd of one hundred) have a 7-8 inch penis. 0.6% have 9 inches, and 0.2% have more than 9 inches. 1.8% = 18 out of a thousand.

    The human penis usually stops growing between the ages of 18-21.

    The average penis size differs from country to country, but here’s a few:

    France - 6.2 inches • Sweden - 5.9 inches • Germany - 5.7 inches • USA - 5.3 inches • China - 5.1 inches

    Coincidentally, on average women (when polled) have responded that their “ideal” partner’s size is around 6 inches.

      Apparently, it does!
      I can’t find a link to the original segment, which is what I’m referencing, where a doctor explains it all properly, but enjoy the celebrity gogglebox take on it, but the point is - turns out condoms come in different sizes (significantly width, as well as length which I think is what most people think of when discussing size) and for them to be most effective and with least chance of failure, you need to buy the right one, and for that, you need to measure first!

        That’s true, the stats I threw out don’t include girth. It is important to choose a condom that fits appropriately. Measure if you need to =)

    Just once out of curiosity, yes. It wasn’t anything to brag about and I doubt it’s improved, so I haven’t bothered since.

    Well of course we do! Every weekend we get together for an old fashioned measuring contest. After 50 things start to get interesting as you rarely have the same winners due to the erectile dysfunction. That was the case until Jamal joined… Bastard has been taking home the gold for the last 3 years.

    As a kid I did.

    As an adult, several of my partners have wanted to mesure it.

    I did once when I was 15 but this is not something I do regularly, because why would I? It’s not like it goes on your driver’s license.

      Right? I did it 25ish years ago. Was already disappointed once, won’t get a different result now.

    I did when I was losing weight as a tertiary measurement of improvement behind weight and blood pressure improvements.
