i'm 6" long, which is average i know.my question is about girth.i have 5" girth around the thickest part below the head. 4 1/8" around where it meets my body. so my dick gets fatter going from my body to the head. it's a gradual change in thickness, no obvious point where it suddenly gets a lot fatter. is it common for the shaft to vary in thickness like that?
-
Penis shape?
-
Well it's common for people to have variations. No one can tell you what percentage guys have for each shape, but I'm sure it's nothing out of the ordinary.
-
hmm.. it bugs me cos i worry normal condoms will be too loose round the bottom of my shaft where i'm thinner and might slip? i tried durex snug fit.. they were quite tight to get on though, but fitted ok at the base i think? should a condom be tight all the way along? the standard durex are like 56mm wide = 4.4 inches girth so it's not gonna be tight at the base?
-
Dont take my word for it, but unless when your having sex you go all the way down past your condom, you shouldnt really have that much of a problem. Dont flame me if I'm wrong, but
-
Yeah, really should be a problem.
-
huh? did you mean shouldn't or am i wrong?If I am, i apologize- just didnt seem like it would to me.
-
so you don't think it matters if the condom isn't stretched tight at the bottom where my dick meets my body? or should i stick with the snug ones even though they are a bit tight further up? also it's stupid but i worry if it isn't tight at the bottom it's gonna make me look small!
-
I would stick with the snug fitting condoms. Although a regular condom won't slip off, you don't want cum leaking past the base of the condom either, and it might with a regular condom if it is loose fitting at the base.
-
Is that a common problem, lots of semen coming out the base? Interesting. I would think that if the condom is too snug further up on his penis it runs a greater risk of bursting.Oh, bluecolla2772, I was agreeing with what you said.
-
I agree with focus on this. I think if it's not too uncomfortable, it would be much safer if the condom were a good fit along the whole length.Penises often don't have constant girth along the shaft, but condom manufacturers don't usually offer much that allows for this. I've heard of one style that offered a bit more width at the end, but I can't remember the name or brand.

In reply to:Is that a common problem, lots of semen coming out the base? Interesting. No, it's not a common problem, but it definitely could be with this particular situation. What I think would happen if he had sex with a regular condom, and after ejaculation, on the outstroke of thrusting, the condom could slide down the shaft a bit. I don't think it would fall off completely, as the end of the condom will eventually reach the thicker part of his penis by the glans, and stop there. However, as the condom slides off, it puts the base of the condom closer to where the cum has been ejaculated, and it could easily seep past the base of the condom then. Or, if he were in certain positions where his penis was vertical, the semen could easily run down the shaft of his penis, and escape out the sides of the base of the condom if it isn't snug. There is a custom condom manufacturer online somewhere. Can't remember the name of it, but google it and I'm sure you can find it. Expensive, but this may be the best solution. You send them the exact measurements of your erect penis to them, measured along several different areas of your penis, and they custom make condoms to fit you perfectly.

thanks for the advice! i think maybe i've been doing myself down a bit cos i measured again today and got 4.3 inches at the base 5.1 at thickest part. i did a bit more research and found the girth of different brands varies quite a bit. not sure anyone except me even cares!! but... here's the unstretched girth of common brands:durex featherlite/gossamer 56mm wide = 4.4" girthmates (most types) 54mm = 4.25" girthdurex ribbed/sensation 53mm wide = 4.17" girthcondomi (most types) 52mm = 4.1" girthdurex/mates snug 49mm wide = 3.85" girthso i'm gonna experiment a bit more!

focus, the online condom people you are thinking of may perhaps be http://www.condomania.com. They sell what I take it is their own brand of custom-made condoms, TheyFit. However, they are "custom-made" only to the extent of being available in many widths and lengths - they do not cater for varying shaft girths. Condomania do sell a lot of other brands includng some odder shapes, though.

No, that's not the site I was thinking of. Condomania is a good site to buy regular non-custom condoms though online.The site I was thinking of has you send in exact measurements of your penis in various locations, and they make the condoms just for you and your measurements. Very expensive, but for those who can't find a regular condom that fits properly, its well worth the cost.
