Dick length question

I was measuring my dick when erected and it’s 17cm long. But when stretching it it can go up to 19.5cm long.

So my question is, why isn’t it 19.5cm when erected if it can go so far when stretching? I don’t get it. Any answers?

That is a lot of flaccid stretch length to have over erect length. When just stretching there is no sideways expansion, with erection there is, which uses up a little length.

Also, it’s because you use your hand to stretch while flaccid, but it needs blood when erect.

So IMO, to convert the FSL into EL, you need to train your penis to hold more blood by jelqing/clamping/Uli’s/Horse/etc.

BTW, Luka, your Velcro is shipped today.

It is not unusual to have a stretched flaccid longer than your erect length. The answers above are correct. Also consider that you pull on your flaccid with greater force than the internal blood pressure force of an erection. And, notice how thin your stretched flaccid is. In an erection blood expands the tissue both longitudinally and circumferentially. When you stretch a flaccid, no tissue is expanded circumferentially. The same amount of penis tissue in both cases means intuitively, that if you use some tissue to get wider you won’t have as much length.

edit: I just saw that Firegoat said the same thing in much simpler and more clear way. Sorry. :)

If you have a curvature, this plays a role into shortening your penis more or less, too.

Is it a good sign if your flaccid stretch is longer than your erect?

I.e. Will it mean you have more growing potential?

Yes, that’s what I want to know? Is that good or bad? Or is it just neutral.

My EL gains have always followed FSL gains. I am right now working into a bit more FSL as I did during my last period of growth. Hopefully I can grab that new FLS in the way of a bit more EL then repeat the cycle all over again.

I do believe FSL gain is a sign of incoming EL gain, and as I stated before, to convert FSL to EL, you need to do jelq.

I measure FSL more frequently than EL, just to make sure my routine is working.

Thats what iv ‘e been told.

Is it possible for your EL to be more/longer than four FSL?

I think no, because the tissue is always the same, whether you’re flaccid or erect. So if blood can make the tissue that long, you, with your hands, can do the same and even further.

If you have, say .25” longer FSL than BPEL, and then, after sometime of PE notice that your FSL has increased more or less, then it is a sign that something actually happens and you can only just hope that your BPEL follows.

My FSL is 1 inch longer than my NBPEL.

Just make sure you jelq and EL will be catching up.

BTW, lot of PEers found that the difference between FSL/EL will be less and less after sometime. I don’t know why.
