average penis girth

[nikola85]

Hi guys,

In some studies the average penis girth is measured at the three parts: under the head, the mid-shaft and the base. I am curious why they dont measure the head too or how we can what is the average penis girth at the base. Some people say that the base is thicker part of the penis. Do you have idea how many people have tha base thicker than the shaft and the head ( how many percent )?

I give suggestion to create a poll : what is your pre pe erect girth at the base , the mid-shaft girth, the girth under the head and the head girth.

Thanks in advance

For me I was just under 5" below the glans, around 5" midshaft, and about 5.5" base (never measured, when I started, so it may have been more. First time I did was a few months in and it was 5.75" I belive).
Now I'm 5.5" below the glans, 5.66" Midshaft, and 6.5" at the base.

I don't measure the head because it's just a pain. It's close to 6" for me.
I do think more people have a thicker base than anything.

Penis girth is the measurement of the circumference of the completely erect penis. It is variously quoted as an average of three measurements: just below the glans penis, in the middle of the shaft, and at the base.

Not bigger than 20 % , but i think only dicks with MSEG under 4.75" .

PE changes the proportions of the dick usually causing more growth at the base.

Take a look at this poll: https://www.pegym.com/forums/poll-forum/9739-what-shape-your-penis.html

I have a tree-trunk shaped penis, thickest at the base with a significant flare in the half inch closest to the pubic bone. I have always been this shape, but as Pegasus suggests, PE seems to have exaggerated the basal flare a little, although I have gained girth throughout.

I'm not sure this is universal, however, since I have heard many guys say that with jelqing they went from a cylindrical shape to a base ball bat shape.

The circumference of the glans is difficult to measure because of its shape and the fact that the plane of maximal circumference is typically not perpendicular to the long axis of the penis shaft. You can probably best measure the "effective" circumference of the glans by finding a tubular object that the glans will just fit into without compression and measuring its diameter. If you measure around the point of maximal circumference of the corona at an angle to the perpendicular, you will get a bigger measurement.

Different studies have used different standards for measuring penis girth. Some have used maximal girth and others girth around mid shaft. Sometimes the methodology is not spelled out, or sometimes one can even find conflicting information regarding how girth was measured in the same study. For example, in discussing the LifeStyles condom Cancun study the MrAverage site says this: Measuring of girth was at mid-shaft around the circumference of the penis when the penis was erect.

But the Wikipedia entry for human penis size discusses the same study and says this: The Cancún LifeStyle study, in which the circumference of the shaft was measured at three points (base, mid-shaft, and just below the head) and then averaged, found an average of 12.63 cm (4.972 inches) with a standard deviation of 1.3 cm (0.5 in).[10]

Thanks guys,

I have one more question. I can not find information about the circumference of the glans. Do you have some ideas how many percent have glans equal to the thickest part of the shaft and how many percent have bigger glans than thickest part of the shaft (base, mid-shaft, and just below the head)?

Thanks in advance.

No idea on that one.

 

[nikola85]

Actually is there study that determine the average circumference of the glans penis in erection?

Thanks

55 Israeli men, 21-78 years old:
BPEL (100% erection induced by drug injection) = 5.35". EG (base) = 4.29". BPFSL = 4.92".

Oh really? Interesting, I'd not heard that before. I just figured it would be pretty even. Well, you learn something new on PEGym every day!

^ i'm interested by this also... how do you know this Pegasus?

I ask in hope you are correct! I found my way here because although *just about* average, with ok length... my fella has always been on the thin side. i'd love to see some more thickness at the base - at the moment the view from above makes it seem thin as hell. the thickness it has displays only if you look from the side! (4.75 by the way but i think, touch wood, growing...)

damn thin dick! well, long may my PE regimen continue. Looking forward to adding girth work to my regimen but i'll probably wait at least six months. 3 months of normal beginners, then i'm thinking on to JPs beginners... then we'll talk, hopefully see some early girth gains as part of the noob routines.

hey kublakhan. Out of interest, how's your CS (the underside around your urethra) ? I ask because I'm quite wide, but my CS is as flat as a pancake, and I'm hoping (expecting maybe) to get my girth targets from building that up. With the added benefit that I think it's more visually appealing that way.

(ninja edit) on routines, I did a few months of various exercises on and off, and didn't see any gains. However since then, in the first month of JP90 I've already seen over a quarter inch of BPEL gains, about 3/8" now actually so I can't recommend it enough

 

[spanky]

Quick Q for anyone reading who might know (rather than starting a whole new thread) Is there any relation between CS bulk and upward curve?

 

[spanky]

the thickness it has displays only if you look from the side!

Sorry, that'll teach me to read properly before responding! Sounds like you're the opposite to me and you'd be better off with CC targeted exercises for girth rather than CS like I would.

I'm still kinda looking for answers on that, as the girth exercises all seem to be fairly generic. I'd guess v-jelqs target the CC and Ulis should be fairly even all round. Not sure about CS specific exercises yet.

I'll be interested to hear if JP90 *does* bring you girth. I think it does target the CC more than the CS so while I'm not seeing any change yet, I wonder if you will? Early days anyway.

There's a very interesting thread on here somewhere called Length before Girth or something. if I can find it I'll link it here. And before anyone says, yes I'm seeing JP90 through first before getting ahead of myself

edit: here Length first, Girth second

Hey Spanky.

Interesting, you make a tempting case to start with JPs a little earlier... I am kind of doing a compromise between PESGs and JPs at the moment. I do the stretches from JP but not the Vs yet. I am having some subtle PIs so i'll see how it goes.

Where did you read the terms CC and CS? I'd be interested in reading up on them. I read the LFGS article earlier as it happens, were they in there? I'll reread it.

The underside of my urethra has actually been feeling kinda more firm lately, possibly adding a fraction to my girth already. I wonder if this is EQ related more than anything? I'm not complaining either way of course...

I'll add you to my contact list to remind me to let you know how JPs goes. Good luck working out the best plan for your wang, man!

CC = Corpus Cavernosa, the erectile tissue onthe top of your john thomas at either side.
CS = Corpus Spongiosum, the erectile tissue on the underside around your urethra.

There's a good article on basic penis anatomy on this site, which covers the above, and a little of how it relates to PE.

I think JP90 is supposed to be a beginners routine, aimed at conditioning rather than furious gains, and interestingly some people have said it's quite intense, though that isn't my experience. As everyone keeps saying though, we're all a little different, so listening to your own body is the trick.. perhaps that's something some people are better at than others?

Good luck working out the best plan for your wang, man!

Thanks man, you too

I was looking for a link to the article in question and found this: https://www.pegym.com/forums/beginners-forum/148-good-short-anatomy-muscle-article-penis.html which looks like a good thread. Off to read it now

 

[kublakhan]

i think it's intense as far as beginners routines go... i am happy to start with a less is more philosophy, condition the old fella then see where i want to go from there. if you read PESG's success story he makes a pretty convincing argument for starting slow. i think i could handle JPs, but i'm pretty happy to be patient and 'feel out' the landscape... as it were. i'm kind of hoping to see some results from the lesser routine, which'll give me all the more enthusiasm for cranking it up a gear!

cheers for explaining the acronyms. i'll be very interested looking into this... as i mentioned above i am more or less happy with my schlong, but a little more girth certainly wouldn't hurt! it is the main aim of the game, though as it turns out i'm pretty interested in length gains too... oh well, if i HAVE to... then FINE! pfft! ;P
