According to this website xxxxxxxxxxxxx you dont measure directly midst center over the head but rather top side of it..click link if u dont understand.this is how i measured it and my penis curves a bit to the left so i heard using loose measuring tape is better for this. With this method on site and loose measuring tape i found myself to be a bit over 7 inches.Can someone tell me if this method is correct? I dont know what to think..
-
Am i measuring correctly?
-
Measuring along the top side is the usual method, yes.
-
no , im an idiot thats not what i meant like k im not talking about RIGHT ontop of the penis like directly under belly button..thats how some ppl measure BUT on that site its positioned on the left or right side... and it says that it is the correct method used by scientists or wtv...Like my penis curves to the left so i have to put it on the side in order to measure it with it angle...if anyone still doesnt understand me just look at the site the way the guy measuring his erection, when i measure from ontop i normally lose about a half inch cuz of angle possibly?Anyways this is confusing me for nothing but anyone after reading this post help me pls its highly appreciated thanks.

A couple of the pictures on that site aren't very clear, or do look a little odd - especially the one that shows measurement from the side. That doesn't look accurate at all. The idea is that if your penis went straight out horizontally, perpendicular to your body, the measurement centrally along the top gives the correct value. If it isn't horizontal or perpendicular but you can make it so while you measure, do that. A curve is harder to allow for - a tape measure allows you to measure along the curve - the idea is to work out what it would be if it were bent straight and brought to that straight, horizontal, perpendicular standard.
But it's not something worth stressing about. You're clearly over average.

Man i dont understand how it can be wrong though cause isnt it the same bone all around even on the side of the penis?It sounds as if the bone is more exposed RIGHT on top of the penis then a little on the side?And how can this site be wrong , it loos to be pretty legit and its a penis enlarging site so wouldnt they want the bone pressed method so ppl think theyre penis is smaller makin them buy theyre product? thanks for your response though its just that i dont really get how measuring from the side is wrong like when i look at my penis the side or ontop doesnt look much different , for example it doesnt cave in on the side n it still penis and not just skin so its not a waste of calculation Bahhh! i dont know lol i am tripping =P i am just confused and i like to understand things i hate beeing in the darkthanks to anyone kind enough to put up with my bull =)

Well, it makes better since to measure from the top because you would push the ruler against the pelvic bone and lay it against your erect penis to get a good measurement. But, if you want to measure from the side - then do it! The measurement from the top is more accurate - and I hope that the boss of this site (Administrator) will agree with me... good luck in your quest for a "correct and accurate" measurement of your penis.

hahaha thanks all for your replies , ya my penis is weird I just wanna be able to say my stats and be certain! I dont know Istill see measuring from the side and measuring from dead center top to be the same thing.. its the same area n stuff and its easier for me since i have a slight curve , i just lay the measuring tape on it. But when i do it from right ontop i gotta twist the tape at the end making it less accurate.. Maybe these 2 ways are both correct =/ again thx tho if anyone knows if one way is incorrect and why pls share ur knowledge!

I just wanna be able to say my stats and be certainyeah but.... who cares?
-
I care of course anyways who else would i expect to care? None of u of course why would anyone here care about person x on internets penis size lol. Im just tryin to see the correct methods so in my head i can have my stats just for me
-
Ok so there we have it , measuring from the side and measuring from the top is the same thing. I get about the same measuremements anyways .. just side is easier for ppl with a slight curve
-
That site is wrong. Here is what they said: "To measure accurately it is important that you measure from the side of the penis." That is completely WRONG. The proper way to measure, and the method all the penis size studies used, is to measure along the TOP of the erect penis, not from the side. You may have gotten the same measurement results with both methods, but for some guys, like me, there can be a significant difference in size between measuring along the top or the side. If I measure along the side, I'm 0.5" to 1.0" longer than if I measure along the top. BTW, virtually none of those penis enlargement pill sites have accurate information, and virtually all of them are frauds selling pills that don't work.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx yet another site saying to measure from the side. Oh and i was watching some porn and the girl measured the guys thing and it was also done by the side. And i've seen pics of guys measuring from side on sites and then it says like the correct method. I REALLY doubt all these sites are wrong.. just look at all the info on them.I am pretty convinced that both ways are equally accurate if you measure it from the complete side and not going lower to ur testicles.
-
You seem overly obsessed with measuring your penis. Geez, side or top it's probably not that big of a difference.
-
Yes I have a slight obsessive compulsive disorder..sorry ><Im not even kidding ;/

In reply to:I am pretty convinced that both ways are equally accurate if you measure it from the complete side and not going lower to ur testicles. It's not a matter of accuracy, it is a matter of consistency. If all the penis size studies from researchers and condom manufacturers measured along the top, and found the average erect penis size to be just under 6 inches, and you want to compare yours to the average, but you measure it along the side instead of the top, that's not consistent, and actually not even relevant. I could measure along the side and find I'm 7.5, almost 8 inches, or I could measure along the top and find I'm 7 inches. Bottom line is if a researcher measured my penis in a penis size study, he/she would measure along the top, and record 7 inches. Not 7.5 or 8 from the side. If all the researchers measured along the side, the average erect penis size would likely be something larger than 6.0 inches, rather than slightly under 6 inches.

naw it wont be an inch difference maybe a half inch.. and a half inch wont even show in the end so it doesnt matter.
