I was bored and remembered this thread. When I measured myself it was a while ago. I figured out it was 7 inches two ways. One, I measured it and two I could get both hands on it with a tiny bit of head sticking up. I have definitely gained a significant amount of weight because I am not able to do the two hand thing any more. However I have been loosing a lot of weight and I have been enjoying the new length. As for why some guys jam it to the bone to get a measurement, well, fat it pliable and as such when having sex it is possible to push further in then one looks.
