“It’s all about length” – you may have heard this saying before or even used it yourself. Sure, especially when it comes to the size of your best asset, you want to come up with the most impressive numbers possible. But is measuring your penis important? This article will tell you when it makes sense to know your own penis length and when you can confidently shine with ignorance.
Practical reasons for knowing your penis length
The most important reason for knowing the penis length and girth of your own cock is a very practical one. To protect yourself during sex, you need to buy condoms in the right size. If a condom is too small, it may constrict your cock too much, causing your erection to go flat. In addition, a condom that is too small can burst during fucking. If it’s too big, on the other hand, it may slip off your penis during sex due to friction and, in the worst case, remain where it doesn’t belong, in your partner’s butt.
Knowing your own penis size can also be indirectly beneficial for your partner. For example, if you tell him that you have a penis length of 20 cm (8 inches) and a thickness of 6 cm (2.4 inches), you give him the chance to consider whether he wants to be fucked by such a large cock. Not every ass can handle penetration with such “giant tools.” On the other hand, there are also men who are totally into huge cocks and specifically look for well-endowed sex partners. So if you specify your penis size in your profile on Gayromeo, Grindr, and other sites, you can increase your chances of hot sex dates if you have the right measurements.
How to measure the size of your cock
If you want to measure your penis, it’s pretty easy. All you need is a ruler or a tape measure (this is more flexible and measures better if your penis is not completely straight). In principle, you can measure your best piece when it is erect or flaccid. You measure the length of your penis by placing the ruler or measuring tape at the tip and then measuring down the top of the penis to the pubic bone. If you have a lot of hair, fatty tissue, or flesh there, go past it until you reach the bone.
Measuring on the top is useful because the pubic bone is a natural lower limit. If you were to measure on the underside, you wouldn’t know exactly where to measure to, to the front of the scrotum or to the scrotum (the area between the scrotum and the anus)? Incidentally, the circumference is easiest to measure using a tape measure. However, you can also first place a piece of string around the widest part of your penis, mark the point where the string meets itself, and then lay it along a ruler. Then you will know the circumference of your penis.
Measuring penis length – good or bad for the ego?
Knowing the penis length and girth is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can boost your self-esteem immensely if you measure your penis and find that you are at least average in terms of penis size. If your penis size is even slightly or significantly above average (in the US, the average penis length when flaccid is about 8.6 cm, and when erect, 14.5 cm), then you are above average.
The flip side: many men have a small penis. According to statistics, 3% of men have a penis that measures less than 13 cm, while 15% are between 13 and 15 cm in size. Because men define their masculinity in part by the length of their penis, a smaller size can lead to psychological problems and reduced self-esteem. Quite a few men with a small penis consider having it “lengthened” through a surgical procedure called ligamentolysis. This operation is cosmetic and, in the vast majority of cases, not medically necessary. It also always involves risks, is very complex, and is also expensive because the costs are not normally covered by statutory health insurance (in Germany).
Penis length during sex – relevant or irrelevant?
The question of whether penis length is important during sex comes up time and time again. Many men respond to this question by saying that it’s not size that matters, but technique. Admittedly, a large penis creates more friction during anal sex, which leads to more intense stimulation. Some also say that they feel more stimulated when the penis penetrates deeper. However, it is important to know that the prostate, i.e. your G-spot, is located about 4 to 6 cm behind the entrance to the anus. Even men with a smaller penis can therefore normally reach the prostate and stimulate this extremely erogenous zone during fucking. The sensation of being more stimulated by a large penis is perhaps more of a subjective feeling. This sensation can also be triggered by the desire to feel your partner particularly deep inside you.
The technique you use to satisfy your partner is also much more important than the length and girth of your penis. Are you skilled with your best friend? Are you a master of gay Kamasutra and have you mastered many different positions (such as doggy style, spooning, reverse cowgirl) in which you can pleasure your partner? Then your partner will certainly not complain about the insufficient size of your dick afterwards.
Much more important than the size of the penis is its endurance and steadfastness. If you make your partner happy with an extended anal session without having to pause in between because your penis goes limp, this will probably make a big impression on your partner. As a rule, the average erection duration for men during sex is about 5 to 6 minutes. However, there are also men who can remain in action for 30 minutes or even significantly longer with a hard “blade.” Such endurance means long-lasting stimulation for your partner, which increases the chance that you will reach climax yourself while your partner is giving you a good seeing to.
Conclusion: Even with a smaller penis, you can still satisfy your partner
You can measure the penis length and girth, or you can choose not to. Basically, this information will only help you choose the right condom size. Otherwise, it mainly depends on how you handle your best friend during sex. Used correctly, perhaps with poppers for an extra boost, you and your partner will have lots of hot fun, regardless of your penis size. Always remember that size is not the only factor that determines hot sex. It’s much more important that your cock is hard, tastes good, and can cum hard when it’s time. Also, don’t forget to always protect yourself and your partner by putting a condom on your best piece. This is especially important if you want to spontaneously fuck someone you don’t know at all or only superficially with your big or small cock.
