A different take on the size question....

Contributor: Hockeytown9 Hockeytown9
So I have seen quite a bit in the way of what size questions here, such as size you like/prefer/deal breaker/size you have had etc. Then it hit me. How do you know the size you are referencing. I doubt many of you have a laser accurate internal vaginal measuring device...since mine is on back order too. I've also tried sqeezing and guessing when they enter, but that is only accurate to 1/2 and inch I think. So when you are referencing size in these posts how did you reach that number? Did you measure the man, did he measure himself and tell you? Makes me wonder, so here is the poll (private voting of course, ha ha I made a funny):

It actually never occurred to me, to measure my penis, until people online started asking. I was 19 before I measured it for the first time. Now I actually find it more fun to make people guess. Due to camera angles, and an above average thickness, most people assume I'm bigger than I actually am. It's fun.

My husband always talks about how he has a small dick. Pfff. I have always told him he was crazy, that it was slightly above average. Based on toys I own, I guessed at his size length and girth, originally. When I was measuring a recent toy for a review, I told him to come closer. He dropped his drawers and I worked him up a bit, then we pulled out the measuring tape. I was right on with girth! I was an 1/8 of an inch short in my assessment of length.

My laser measuring device must have come free with an order and I didn't even realize it. It is pretty darned accurate.

He told me his length and it was what I thought it would be. He hasn't measured girth but I think I can tell pretty accurately based on the size of toys I own.

Well it's been quite a while for me since I've been with my husband for 9.5 years now and we measured him years ago one night just for fun lol, but back in the day I'd always measure a guy with my hand. I'd touch the base with my middle finger and then see how far up the palm/wrist he went. It wasn't 100% accurate obviously but it was a good guesstimate. For circumfrence it's basically the same, where the fingers met when wrapped around.

Sigel measured himself as a joke and Arch as a point of sale (lol). I also have vibes and dildos that I know the actual measurements to judge by...if that makes sense.

Makes sense to me. I measured hubby a couple of years ago when I was trying to decide what sized dildo I wanted to buy. He thought I was nuts, of course.

I guess based on appearance. I'm usually within a 1/2" lengthwise and no more than a 1/4" girthwise.

LOL My guys know I am completely insane. They humor me and make jokes about not feeding the inmates....
I told Sigel he had a large penis and he wanted to prove he was pretty average. I still maintain he is perfectly fine what ever he thinks! When Arch was contemplating whether he was going to actually come to meet me he mentioned that he was pretty average and I joked that without pics it didn't happen. So he sent me pics and a list of measurements. Was a RIOT! He is the type of guy you have to really be careful what you say around him cause he's quite likely to do it!

My boyfriend has told me that he measured himself lengthwise and was a certain size. But I have seen dildos that said they were that size and are definitely not what he says he is. I don't really care either way, but I think it would be interesting to remeasure it.

That is what made me think of it. We were haveing a party and a guy was saying how big he was and swearing to it etc. Then during a hot and heavy moment I accidently got a peek (walked in on them) and he was full of it. His date, (my friend) said he must measure from his back. lol Anyway that got me to thinking, his last "conquest" thinks that is how big he was and now might be basing preference off of that size, and she might working with doctored books. lol And I know this has happened several times to friends, and me personaly in the past. Makes you wonder. Maybe 12 inches isn't really the same size as a deck of cards. lol

My boyfriend doesn't believe me when I tell him he's big, yet he still tears me on occasion

I measured him so we could determine what size to get of a toy. He said he had measured himself before, but only length. It just happened with me doing it cause I have the fabric measuring tape in my desk.

So 38 votes to this point and only 4 women measured the man themselves...interesti ng. Maybe we don't really know the true sizes after all. lol BTW I measured him myself, but I can't remember if I voted or not so its either 3 or 4.

I usually remember using my hands as well, although in the case of my current partner...who is convinced he's small (which, there is no fucking way that he could be considered small)...I measured him myself just to prove to him that he was way above average.

LOL! I love it! That was a super funny post to read! In my case I have measured my husband so I have him, his appearance and his pussy filling capacity well ingrained in my head as a point of reference. In the case of my pool boy gym trainer male sex buddy he is massive and in comparison to my hubby holds both length and girth. That said hes good for a now and then ride but my hubby is a perfect for every day fit!

I've measured him because he kept saying he was smaller than he really was.

I got a strapless strap-on dong, so I had to measure him for the review, since he was just fitting in, he was easier to measure than shoving a ruler inside that. So... Yes, I broke out the measuring tape myself.

I actually measured my hand from the base to the tip of my middle finger (my longest @ 7 inches) and my pinky (the shortest @ 6 inches) so I have a pretty accurate, harmless way of knowing once I get my hands on a guy.
