Men: Penis size?

As I age I cannot experience anymore the very hard erections I used to get in my 20s and my circumference has lessened. 😢

Would think with all the decades of my vigorously pulling the darn thing it would be more than 6 inches by now; but alas, still only 5½…

Who cares. You have been given what you got. Just enjoy it.

I don’t know a number and I am not going one arm fisherman on you , I will say overall my size has decreased both to age and diaper/ aide dependent, I am both bowel and urine incontinent . Until somebody invents a longer day I am the definition of 24/7 user

@ron benton ….You should probably use quarts/liters…to measure the BULLSHIT!!! (lol)

In the 1990's my wife and her girl friend measured me at 9 inch's erect . It took just a few years wearing diapers , plus old age that now , to my observation I appear to be about 5 or 6 inches now . ,,,,,,,,, when I can get erect ,,,,,,,,,If I can get erect,,,,,,,,,,, Wearing diapers it became apparent that something inside brakes down and part of the erection seems to be pushing in not out . Ahhhhh The days of old when knights were bold ……………

I've never thought mine was big about 6 inches hard about 1 3/4" across at base head is bigger than shaft. I had more than one woman tell they didn't want anymore it filled them up. I know more than once I hit cervix that hurt me when she had IUD didn't even think going deep after that. I've have come to think most women don't achieve orgasm from entering them it's what is before that give them an orgasm

I got the thickness from my dad and grandfather. Unfortunately I didn't get either one of their lengths. Five and a half long, six and a half in circumference.

I wonder what the ratio of men having "grower" vs "shower" types?

The length does not matter.

It's better to have a short one long inside than a long one short inside - lol

From what the locker room has shown me, I'm on the smaller side. I usually hover in the 2" or a little more flaccid (typically the locker room state) and about 5" or a little over when hard. I know it's not impressive, but I still enjoy having it on full display.

That's a "grower". I'm less than 2" and about 5.5" when hard.

I assumed this is where I fell. Sometimes if I've been active, it'll retract to the 1" mark or so. I just showed off this condition a couple weeks ago. Hard isn't always as large either. Yesterday in the locker room, I must have scrubbed more than usual, and ended up sporting a 4" pointing straight out.

it'll retract to the 1" mark or so.

Yes, same here and I like the feeling of it almost disappearing like that.

I think 5” is about normal but I have been with all sizes. Huge cocks are wonderful to look at and play with but getting fucked with one can be uncomfortable. Never said stop though 🥴👌🏽. I have also been with guys who are so small and short I wonder how they were able to have children. Another frustrating thing is a guy with a soft cock that seems like would swell up to a nice size but can’t get hard any longer. I never mention it because there are so many other ways to enjoy each others body parts.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through the responses in the 5+ years since I posted this question.

I think it's time to update my own number, since I have had recent medical issues that have affected my size.

I was always a solid 5.75" but, unless my eyes were playing tricks on me, I noticed an increase to 6" during Covid-19, a time spent doing a lot of masturbating. I was more than OK with 5.75. The extra quarter-inch was icing on the cock.

In the spring of this year I had a prostatectomy. Hard to tell how it affected my erect size because following the surgery I was impotent. After a number of failed treatments I just last week underwent an implant of an inflatable penile prosthesis which, once I'm healed, will produce a rigid erection. Not sure of the final size yet, but while I'm healing, the apparatus is in semi-inflated status 24/7. When I stand, it points straight out at a perpendicular angle. While it's supposedly only semi-inflated, it seems pretty full. Not sure but I think it's at its maximum length. I think the only difference will be when it's fully inflated, it will point up instead of out. The measurement I took of it in its current state is between 4.75" and 5". Not what I wanted, but that's mainly ego speaking. My wife isn't bothered by the reduction.

I can tell you, while I was unconscious, they measured me so they would know what size cylinders to implant in my penis. From the post-op notes:

"The measuring tool revealed measurements of 11 cm proximal and 12 cm distal for final measurements of 23 cm bilaterally"

One factor to consider is I'm not sure how much of my penis they measured. Was it to the tip or to the corona? And how much of the two cylinders are in my pelvis, not inside the penile shaft?

One final note. While I'm disappointed to be smaller. I'm very, very happy to one day again be able to make love to my wife with a fully erect member!

I’m 6.5” erect with 5.5” circumfrence

Maybe this article helps? :-)

Grower for sure, prob bout 3" flacid, and a little over 7" erect. As I've lost weight its looked even better

I’m 18 cm

About 16 cm long (depending how/where one measures), and when younger, 14 cm circumference at the thickest point in erection (I measured circumference back then because my partner commented I was thicker than her previous experience). Seems very nice for vaginal use, too thick for comfortable anal.

It is true that if you don't use it you will lose it. I know i am having the same problem so i ordered some new eyeglasses.

First of all, I don’t see the importance although I have been measured several times by either a doctor, play doc or my partner… it does depend on the circumstances and there is a saying mentioning : wether or not you have a small or a big pencil to paint, the size of it is not important, it’s wether or not how nice you can paint with it that does make the difference 🙂.

Having said that the measured sizes in erect state vary between 15,5 and 16,5 cm. So, will be something in between that will be correct. Measurements were all taken with foreskin fully retracted.

I wonder if there was a reliable study on which European nationals have statistically on average the largest penises and the smallest ones. I believe that when the continents compared, Africa comes first and east Asia comes last. Most of such studies before used questionnaire method, which is not reliable to me as people tend to lie on this matter.

Longer ago, back in pr-WWII and colonial times, anthropologists did actually conduct physical measurements on colonial subjects. That was a time when measuring was a basic principle of the scientific method and when collecting raw data was of prime importance before anything much further could be done.

It must have been a heyday for those doing all this ethnological measuring of sex organs and body proportions in Africa and Asia, but it did eliminate the need for self-answered questionnaires in which people do often exaggerate to make themselves look better.

Books were published on these subjects, even somewhat bowlderized publications intended for sale to the 'better' and more educated and affluent members of society. In Germany for instance, some went through many print-runs over the years.

I actually wonder how to do "limp" measurements properly. Ok, I might have a normal "limp" size. But if it's cold it shrinks, also if I ride a bicycle somewhat long... There are even cases where my glans disappears even though I'm circumcised.

I should perhaps try measuring it limp and see how much it varies.

Never measured it back in the day when I was active.... guess about 5.5 inches... none of gals I knew complained; though had to be careful not to thrust too deep as hitting the cervix caused the woman pain.

@arturo55555 Thank you for sharing your prostatectomy / post prostatectomy story. Many people don't realize that prostatectomy is a life-changing event.

...typical men's topic 🤔 ... who has the longest, thickest, most enduring...

What good is the longest penis if 1/2" doesn't get hard? My wife rightly says that size doesn't matter. What's important is how you can use your magic wand.

She has never complained about my...🤗😎

About 4 years ago I lost a lot of weight from 210 (95kg) to 160 (72kg) (close to 50lbs - 22kg) and I am 6' = 1.82 meters tall. I have not measured my penis, but I have noticed it longer since most of my fat was carried around my waist and belly area, less fat to hide the base. I have also notice better erections too! I will try and take some measurements and pictures and post them in my albums. I have some pics there now if anyone wants to see
