How to measure length?

I know 6 inches length is about average. But how is that measured.

I measure mine at 5.5 inches (that is my measurement of how much i could actually get inside a girl). I have a flat stomach, even so if i push the ruler at the base i can make it read about 6 inches but that extra 0.5 inch is never going to get used!

you measure the top of the penis not underneath along the top from the pubes to your japs eye

its up to you ..if you dont have alot of fat you can go ahead and push it in..i know when i pound a pussy it goes in as far as a bone pressed measurement..as far as how..you can do it from the top or the side ..contrary to what many on here say..most studies use measurement directly along the side

All I know is -- I MUST measure wrong. I measure mine from the top to the end and it looks like 7. But guys (in person) always guess it's 8 or so....in addition, guys I meet who've said THEY'RE 7", always are smaller than me....

(ps if anyone cares to look at my gallery pix and tell me their guess, it'd be interesting for me)

almost everyone measures from the bottom because it gives u like an extra inch and a half, but the real wayy is the top

use the method which yields the largest number... duh!

I'd say about 6/7"?

Note: I can only see them small as I'm not a member.

measuring from the bottom is just stupid..as for the real way its directly along side as used in scientific studies i can post a link if you want..although if you want you can do it along top..i guess it depends on your fat level..im the same along top as from the side..

a link would be decent sleazeball.

here are some...
http://www.thevisualiser.net/ < they measure from the side
http://www.barebackjack.com/measuring.html < here is also a measurement from the side.

on this site i give my top measurements...7 inches.

from the side i am easily 7.5 inches.
as far as what gets wet when i fuck...7.5 inches.

shit, when i bone press (like on the visualiser) i am almost 6 inches, like 5.8inches and when i bone press to the max(push the ruler as hard as possible without pain) i am over 6 inches. I'd be delighted if thats how they measured on like the durex studys and whot not.

im basically same on top and side..7.4 top and 7.5 side and when i fuck the whole im fully in there to the max(7.5)..

I use the top measurement. Ill just say im well above average.

yeah it really dont matter..im the same basically both ways..i just prefer to use the side being its whats used in scientific studies on averages so it would make sense to do it the same way

I measure from the bottom up cuz I curve up.
