Ineligible: Good point that the penis cross-section is more oval than circular; but is the ratio between frontal width and sideways width always the same?
Of course, for condom size only the circumference matters; and
is part of a discussion in the The Healthy Penis forum that includes topics on Erection concerns, Viagra, ejaculation, diseases, etc..

Of course, for condom size only the circumference matters; and perhaps the same is pretty much true for entry into body orifices.

Because the penis is wider than it is thick, it would be a better approximation to divide the girth by 3 to obtain the width. I'm not so sure about the thickness, but it could be closer to girth/3.5 or so.[/quote]
Actually, mine is the opposite due to a very pronounced corpus spongiosum around the urethra - it is thicker from top to bottom than from side to side.

You have said: "Not quite. Because the penis is wider than it is thick, it would be a better approximation to divide the girth by 3 to obtain the width."
Girth is not diameter Nik. Loggers measuring trees measure girth exactly as Pecker and I have said, although trees are not a perfect circle.
If you want to use calipers to measure 'height and width' or use something other than pi, you will need to say so and not call it girth.

Maybe. But not if you are like me and the widest part is near the base.
