How to measure your penis

Taking penile measurementsAlmost every guy out there has measured his penis once or twice in his life. However, there are very few guys that actually know the proper method to take penile measurements. By proper, I mean the method that doctors use in their medical studies or client examinations. 

Hopefully, this guide will help you to get a more a realistic idea of how you compare against the rest of the male world.

What are you going to need? Well, there are many ways to get accurate results. For the methods described in this site you are going to need:
  • A ruler
  • Soft measuring tape
  • String
  • Pencil or pen
  • Sheet of paper


These are simple, cheap tools that can be found in any household. These tools will be used to take two kinds of measurements, erect length and erect girth.

The final thing you are going to need is a way to get your penis fully erect. Things like your hand, a dirty mind or a willing partner are usually enough. Just use something that comes… handy.

Measuring your length
This is a relatively simple process:
  • First, place the ruler at the very base of your shaft.
  • Then press it into the pubic bone in order to prevent any fat deposits from hiding your real length.
  • Finally, mark how long your penile length is from the base of your penis all the way to the end of the tips


Ideally, you should take three measurements, morning, midday and night. Add them up and divide by three. This will give you  your average length and is the most possibly accurate result you can get.

Measuring your girth Now, let’s see the proper method to measure your penile girth:
  • First, wrap the string around the area where your penis is the thickest.
  • Then mark where the beginning of the wrap meets the string again once it has been circled around your penis (hey, just one circle !) 
  • Finally just put the string up alongside a piece of measuring tape to measure its length
  • You can figure the diameter of your penis by dividing your penile girth using 3.14 (known as Pi)


You vs the World
These are the U.S.  average numbers (in erected):
  • Length: 5.5 to 6.3 inches
  • Girth: 4.5 to 5.1 inches
  • Diameter: 1.4 to 1.6 inches

Please note that the numbers above are strictly for adults, and not for kids, teens etc. If you are anywhere above these numbers then rest assured that you have a normal-sized penis. If your penile length is less than 3.3 inches erect than you have a condition known as micropenis and you may want to get medical advice on how to treat it.

I am not satisfied with the results. Is there a way to enlarge my penis? The only clinically approved method to enlarge your penis is having penis enchancement surgery. There is also some anecdotal evidence that you can enlarge your penis using penis enlargement exercises (like jelqing) and/or using a penile stretcher. Just use google to search for these two terms. You will find plenty of free resources (like forums) to further investigate them.
