Confusion over term "Mid Girth"

Okay, so here’s the issue.

What does mid-girth mean exactly? Does it quite literally mean the real actual center point between the glans and the base? Because I’ve seen plenty of progress photographs and whatnot where it’s quite clear the tape is around the widest point between the base and the glans, rather than the precise middle point. This means that often these measurements place the tape somewhere between the glans and the real mid-point.

So what’s the general verdict? Does “mid-girth” mean:

1. The real mathematical mid-point between head and base

OR

2. The widest point up the shaft between the glans and the base?

I’m not nitpicking, I’m genuinely curious so I can understand what is meant. For me, for example, the widest point away from the base lies somewhere between the glans and the real middle point.

1. !

the widest point is the widest point…

The real mathematical midpoint between head and base is the “mid-girth”.

I have always used option 1. myself. Right smack dab in the middle.

I’m going to be even more silly (but serious) and ask whether that’s the mid point between the base and the tip of the head, or the base and the beginning of the head.

Only at Thunders does a thread like this have the potential to go 5 pages with philosophical and geopolitical implications.

I will admit to looking back on this thread, a day later, with a sense of profound embarrassment.

With that being said:) Olive_oy189 when you said, base of the penis, was that bone pressed or none bone pressed , because depending on the fat pad that could effect the midpoint , mathematically speaking?:)

Lol :)

But it’s a question all the same. What the hell IS “mid-point”? Measuring pics leads me to think people do all sorts.

And is the conventional notion the mid-point between tip of glans and visible base or the beginning of the glans and the base? Nobody said :( :(

And the reason I ask that question (and apologies for the double post) is because it does affect measuring for me. One of the possible “mid points” is, for me, somehow the narrowest part of the whole shaft! That tramples on my precious ego :(

I know this is all silly, but it would really settle my damn OCD.

Who is, historically, the very most OCD, precision-obsessed guy ever to be on TP?

Tip of glans and visible base , center of that is mid-shaft. Olive you should be proud of your stats. Frustration leads to stress, and stress leads to desperation, and desperation leads us to do dangerous things, which leads to an injury or impotence. You just joined in January take your time and enjoy the ride. :) You will get there.

Thanks man. I’m enjoying it more and more as time passes. It becomes a lifestyle really, doesn’t it. As it becomes part of my normal life routine, I find myself feeling like it doesn’t matter how long it takes.

I do BPEL; measure half that distance back from the tip and then measure.

I’m thinking just to start from my ass, measure half way and with any luck end up at the base.

That would change the midpoint.:) Erect length would be longer though.:)
