Before you begin any penis enlargement you need to make sure you know how to correctly measure your penis.

Measuring the Flaccid Length

The flaccid length of the penis can be dictated by many things, including the temperature. This might mean contradicting results depending on the temperature of the situation that you are in. Flaccid gains are often the first gains you will notice when performing penis enlargement exercises. To keep results accurate we have a certain standardized way of measuring the flaccid penis.

To measure accurately it is important that you measure from the side of the penis. Stand up straight and extend your flaccid penis in front of you (it important NOT to stretch it), your penis should now be parallel with the floor. Place the ruler next to your penis so it is slightly pressing against the pubic bone.

The ruler and your penis should be parallel with each other. Measure to the tip of the head in millimetres or inches (whichever you are more comfortable working with). The important thing is that you always measure the same way and do not change your measurement units.

Measuring the Erect Length

The erect length is what most men are interested in. Again it is best to measure from the side of the penis. This method is the standardized method that researchers use to measure the "average penis size" which is incidentally between 6" - 6.5" erect length.

Firstly make sure you have a 100% erection where you would consider it the "most erect". Hold your penis below the head and place the ruler next to it with your other hand. The ruler should be slightly pressing against your pubic bone. Measure to the nearest millimetre and it is important that you do not EXAGGERATE the measurement. If anything it is recommended that you round down.

Measuring the Flaccid Girth

The girth can be extremely awkward to measure because many people have different size girth measurements depending on which part of the penis that you measure. The standardized way is to measure in the centre of the penis shaft.

When flaccid hold your penis out in front of you and wrap a tape measure around your penis. Do not pull the tape measure too hard, pull it to a reasonable level and remember this amount of pull for the next time you measure. The average flaccid girth size is between 3"-4". In our photographs the model has a large flaccid length and girth and it is likely that yours will be smaller.

Measuring the Erect Girth

Make sure your penis is 100% erect and then proceed with the measuring. Hold your penis out in front of you so it is parallel with the floor. With your other hand place the tape measure around the penis making sure not to pull too tight. The average erect girth is 5" - 5.5" according to recent surveys.

Tracking Your Gains

Of course, the reason you are embarking on a penis enlargement exercise program is because you want to increase the size of your manhood. Therefore it makes sense to keep a track on your gains. You can use a table like the one show below to record your starting measurements and then update them every 4-6 weeks. By keeping track you will help to keep yourself motivated when you start to see the gains you were hoping for!
