Alright, so, this is one of those things that pops into your head, and you hear all sorts of stuff, but I decided I wanted to figure out the actual, straightforward way to do it. No guesswork, just a plain method. I muddled through a bit at first, not gonna lie.
I remember way back, thinking any old ruler would do, or not being quite sure where to even start the measurement from. It’s not like there’s a class for this, you know? So, I did a bit of my own practical trial and error, just to get it clear in my own head, and honestly, it’s simpler than you’d think once you get the basics down.
Getting the Length Right – My Process
First things first, and this is pretty obvious, but you need to be, well, fully erect. Can’t get a proper measure otherwise, that was clear from the get-go.
Then, the tool. This was a bit of a learning curve for me. I found that a flexible measuring tape – you know, like the ones tailors use – is the way to go. A stiff ruler just doesn’t cut it because, well, things aren’t always perfectly straight. If you don’t have a flexible tape, I figured a piece of non-stretchy string works too; you just mark the string and then measure the string against a regular ruler. The main thing is getting something that can follow the contour.
So, here’s what I settled on for the actual measuring part for length:
- I learned you gotta place the end of the tape or the string right on top, at the very base where it meets your body. And you gotta press it in a little bit, down to the pubic bone. This was a key thing I realized, because otherwise, you’re not getting the full picture.
- Then, you just lay the tape or string along the top surface, all the way to the very tip. Just the tip, mind you.
Seems pretty straightforward when you lay it out like that, but it took me a couple of tries to get consistent with it.
And What About Girth? My Approach
Then I got curious about girth, or thickness. For this, that same flexible measuring tape is your best friend. Again, the string method works here too if that’s all you’ve got.
What I do is just gently wrap the tape (or string) around the thickest part of the shaft. You don’t want to pull it super tight, just enough so it’s snug against the skin without digging in. Then you just read the number where the tape overlaps, or mark your string and measure that flat.
So, that’s pretty much my method, worked out through my own fiddling around. It’s not about crazy precision down to the last millimeter for me, but more about having a consistent way to do it if I ever wondered. Just wanted to share my practical take on it, plain and simple. It’s just a measurement, after all.
