Here’s how you can tell if the thickness is just right…
Penis girth is the measurement of the circumference of the penis when it is completely erect. This is simply the thickness of the penis when erect, and a function of three measurements. One must measure just below the glans penis, the base and the middle of the shaft in order to get a good measurement of the girth of the penis.
What’s the average thickness of the penis?
There’s no such thing as a universal measure for the girth of the penis. Depending on the region, race and genes the measure of the girth of the penis varies. But of course there are a number of studies and researches made regarding the ‘general’ measurement of the girth or thickness. The Kinsey Institute and other researchers approximates that the average length of the male genitalia is from 5.5 to 6.5 inches, and the average width or circumference of 4 to 5 inches. With a diameter of 1.25 to 1.6 inches, the measurement is comparable to the width of an empty roll of scotch tape.
How important is the girth of penis when it comes to sexual requirements?
If the sex experts and sexologists are to be believed, width is more important that length. And there are a number of reasons that support this claim. It is the girth that gives the penis that strength and consistence to the penis. During sexual intercourse, the third part of the vagina feels the bulk of the sensation. The woman’s vagina is also a muscle that can be stretched. In fact this can fit babies, so a penis entering this muscle will not be a problem. Once the penis enters the vagina, it will stretch the vaginal wall and in the process stimulating the nerves inside which in turn gives the sensation and satisfaction to the woman. The main reason for this is that there are a number of nerves that are stimulated when the penis enters the vagina, including the vaginal and the anal types which are located near the vagina and anus. In short, this means that length is not much of an issue the same thing to width since it is actually the stretching of the anal and vaginal walls that stimulate the nerves that give the satisfaction to women.
There’s one small study that was made on the relation of penis girth to sexual satisfaction. This was done in 2000 and headed by Russell Eisenman of the University of Texas-Pan American. In the survey conducted, it was found out that 45 out of 50 women who took part in the study said that penis girth is a factor in achieving sexual satisfaction. The study suggested that this could be due to the larger surface area that fills out the vagina walls. The only problem with the study is that no actual measurements are indicated that would suggest that it cannot deliver sexual satisfaction.
Measuring the girth of the penis
If you are looking to increase the size of your penis in terms of length and girth, it’s important that you are aware first of the current girth of your organ. The simplest approach is to measure the mid-section of the penis when it its erect. Just before measuring it, make sure that you stimulate your penis so that blood runs through the body. If you think that your penis is hard enough, just wrap a tape around it touching all sides. Also keep an eye on the closest quarter inch. Keep in mind that you should not get the measurement just below the head or near the base since these areas feature larger circumference.
Is there a way to increase penis girth?
Girth can be increased through surgery. Under this kind of procedure, fat from the lower abdominal wall will be drawn out through liposuction and will be injected to the loose skin of the shaft of the penis so that it will appear that is thick. The procedure can also use dermal or free grafts and these will be layered around the shaft just beneath the skin in order to increase its width. The problem with the use of injected fat or free grafts is that they are avascular which means that without blood these will die out. The phenomenon is called necrosis, and when it happens the penis will return to its normal state. Another limitation of the procedure is that during necrosis, fibrous nodules and lumpy, uneven and cosmetically unappealing contour on the penis may be observed.
