Glans width vs penis width

The shaft of my penis is thicker than my glans when erect. (If you are curious see this image: https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/264503 )

This characteristic was more pronounced when I was younger - back then, I had harder erections and my shaft was definitely significantly thicker than my glans (I think I had a thicker than average penis).

When growing up, I never questioned this. I had no experience seeing other erect penises than mine. I later discovered, to my surprise, that many men have a "mushroom" penis with a glans corona protruding from the shaft.

I wonder -

Men, how does your shaft compare to your glans?

Heterosexual women or gay men - does this make a difference as the recipient?

Could it be that this shape is due to my glans growing under a phimotic foreskin, until surgery age 7?

Mine is similar. It's just a normal variation in penis shape. For me the challenge is that it makes condoms just roll up.

@NetBear I do recall condoms rolling up indeed!

My husband’s does something similar. It’s not quite as pronounced but when he’s rock hard the shaft is a little wider than the glans

The other issue with the shape, if yours gets thicker the closer you get to the base, is that you have to go VERY slowly at first when anally penetrating someone. Yay, you got the head in! Now here comes the rest....

@NetBear In my youth, the largest circumference was I think just below the circumcision scar. (Now this is less pronounced.)

I have very limited experience with anal sex.

My glans is very pronounced and is noticeably larger in circumference than the shaft of my penis.

Yes, same as hackjuan. My glans is also very much a mushroom with a corona rim that protrudes 6mm from my shaft. So near the head, my shaft is 40mm wide but the rim of my glans is 52mm wide. It seems logical that a cockhead like Jacana's that has a smaller diameter than the shaft would make it less difficult to prise open an anus in anal intercourse. One thing I'm sure of though is the impact on deepthroating. My GF prides herself on her deepthroating prowess, taking my friends all the way in down to their balls. Watching their 6 or even 8 inch penises fully disappear into her mouth makes me jealous of their smaller cockheads, her nose pressed into their pubes and her tongue licking around their balls. My cock simply lodges into the back of her mouth, leaving about 3 inches unloved and nothing squeezing its way down her gullet. She can take me into her butthole though so I imagine my engorged mushroom head gives me more sensation with it squeezing more tightly into her ass?

When I dated men, I had 2 BFs with their shafts just a bit thicker than their glans. I have to say that though it wasn't a problem for me, I honestly did prefer the head/glans to be a little thicker than the shaft. It just seemed more natural.

I’m in the glans thicker (or wider) than shaft crowd. A pronounced HELMET shaped glans.

Me too. Nice Roman soldier!

I always thought having a thicker glans was to stop your hand flying off the end when you were wanking.

The shaft of my penis is 1 and 1/4" in diameter and the glans is 1/4" wider than the shaft and has a definite helmet shape whether soft or erect. The length is 6 and 1/2" when erect but shrinks to about 1" when soft and occasionally after a hot shower it shrinks right into the skin at the top of my testicles. There is a deep furrow behind the glans where my circumcision scar is visible as a smooth pink area and it's especially sensitive to the touch.

I'm the same size all the wsy

Whether flaccid or erect, my head is much thicker than my shaft. I have a very definitive coronal ring that is often visible through my clothes. It's actually quite embarrassing. I've never had a girlfriend complain about it, or complement me on it. However, they have all seemed to enjoy playing with and running their fingers over my ridge in a curious/fascinated way. I've never had issues receiving oral sex nor having vaginal or anal sex.

My glans is wider than the shaft. This difference is more pronounced when there is "shrinkage". The shaft is the same width along the whole length

My glans is not very wide, it was not able to develop like others, I think the reason why I was circumcised until I was 6. It is only noticeable if I wear tight underwear or a swimsuit.

I fall into the glans wider category! Definitely, a helmet shaped glans when both flaccid and erect.

According to some studies, the thickest part of the penis is at the base ( near the pubic bone), then it tapers away from the base. So a glans may appear larger than the shaft portion nearest it, but may not actually be the widest part of the penis.

I must be an anomaly. Mine flares out slightly about half way up my shaft, then tapers back in before reaching my head. Sort of like a football, only not nearly that drastic. My head is thicker/ wider than my shaft at it's widest point. The shaft tapering in right before the head does make it appear even bigger than it already is. Hope that makes sense.

Everybody’s different. Statistics are nothing more than an average and don’t apply to individuals b

In the interest of science, my measurements:

Width of corona of glans: 47 mm

Width of groove between shaft and glans (neck): 29 mm

Width mid-shaft: 36 mm

Width at mons pubis: 38 mm
