the base of my penis is 6 inches and nearer the top of the shaft is 5.5, would my girth be 5.5 or 6?

Girth

Girth is the circumference or measurement around your penis. Take a measureing tape or piece of string and while erect measure around the shaft, that will give you your girth measurement. The average is just about 5 inches or so.

but is the girth the thickest part?

Yes. And one other tip, depending on lots of things, time of day, level of excitement, overall health etc...the size of our penis can change from one time to the next. So, researchers would say to take three measurements at different times of the day, then average them together. I never worried too much about that though!
