Measuring Penis Size

There have been several people who have measured penis size on their own.  This is a science that needs some serious attention if at all you wish to have accurate measurement. Earlier, they used to measure penis size using anything that they could lay their hands on. They used a wooden ruler to measure the length and graded rings to measure the circumference. There was a lot of confusion - What should we measure? Where do we start from?  Where do we end it? Should I measure it while it is erect or when it is flaccid? Also, there were numerous issues related to accuracy of these types of measurement. And then, the modern system of measuring penis size came into existence.

Self measurement always tends to be exaggerated by at least half an inch. Maybe a medical professional who is least interested in increasing the size of your penis will do a good job of measuring your penis size. The Kinsey report which was one of the biggest sex surveys of all times was also based on self measurement. So after many methods and surveys, we are still looking for the right way of measuring penis size. While most people measure it from the pelvic bone to the tip of the glans, there are the obese lots who do not have much of a length due to concealed penis. Doctors often push the ruler against the pelvic bone to get that extra inch in.

The theory that the flaccid penis, when stretched to the maximum level, is equal to a fully erect penis was discarded later on as it was not a very reliable way to accurately measure an erect penis’ length.

Experts say that the best way to measure penis size is from the pelvic bone to the head of the glans. It usually measures anywhere from 3 - 5.5 inches when flaccid and 4 - 8 inches when erect. So go ahead and have a happy time measuring your penis size. But remember, it only takes an average penis to completely satisfy many women.
