Does anyone else think 5.5 girth is pretty damn big

I had that “too young” look all of my 20s too and hated it. Now I’m in my 40s and starting to look worn out. I want to look too young again lol!! We men are never satisfied!! Dude, don’t waste your 20s go get laid!!!! A piece like yours should not be wasted.

I have started PE in the last two months at EG of 4.8 and aiming for 5.5, added about .2 in a couple of months
I feel pretty good about my start point but want to add some girth for the missus to notice!
Think anything bigger than 5.5 is going to ugh um stand out !!

Think it depends where you start from a meter of perspective.

I started PE with a 4.5MSEG and I would kill for 5.5.

I have made it to 5 so far so only .5 to go.

To those guys looking to make girth gains: I was actually pleasantly surprised how ‘easy’ it was to make good girth gains (0.7”) through clamping and erect jelqing (I never tried erect bends or Ulis or any of that advanced stuff, it sounded far too risky) - I say surprising, because you often hear that length gains are easier than girth. And I’ve kept all my girth gains despite retiring from PE some years ago, whereas I’ve lost a little length - only 0.3” or so, nothing to cry about - since I peaked in length ca. 2011.

Wobble, agree on the risky stuff, sounds too scary. My aid is modest length increase and girth by .5 will do

I had squeezing and clamping recommended to me, which I will start. And also pumping which is too advanced!

Interesting your gains have remained, pretty much, which is encouraging, don’t want to do this all my life!

Pumping can be done by newbies. You just need to be smart and safe about it. Clamping and squeezing, definitely not for newbies. You need to be conditioned before you should do either of those. You should stick to the newbie routine for now.

I was talking to some other skateboarders the other day I they said I look about 19.. They did not believe I was 26… That is how bad it is.

When I started this thread years ago, I thought 5.5” was big but now I think it’s closer to massive. The problem with people saying that it’s not large is that—generally speaking they are horribly misguided and do not measure correctly. I’ve said this time and time again on here, but a couple things to put this into perspective. 5.5” is generally considered in the top 10% in studies where people are willing to take them. It’s not like they pull random guys out and shoot them up with a drug to get a hard erection. Next, even in studies where they are measured by a doctor, they aren’t always measured true mid-shaft. I’ve seen a video of measurements and believe it or not even the doctored measurements are not ALWAYS incredibly rigorous as some of us are on ourselves. Next, the most accurate way to measure yourself is with paper IMO and for many guys, you will lose some girth. I don’t write this to be discouraging, it’s just that I have always had some frustration with the way people are misguided because someone acts as though 5.5” girth is trivial (many people do this). In all reality, I would be shocked if you took everyone in the world had them accurately measure true mid-shaft with paper or really thin tape, and the average came to 4.5”. But who knows.

I know when we see people’s pictures here the measurements are sometimes absolutely maxed out measurements. If someone says they are a certain girth and ‘proves’ it by posting a picture with a slack tape run at an angle over a pumped and bloated penis with a clamp at the base, well, they are kidding themselves if they think that is their girth.

Sometimes guys post a pic without measurements but give their size, and lots of guys say ‘wow, looks bigger than that…’. Those are very often the guys who are telling the truth about their size, and the size they have given is not the absolute max they can get after a heavy PE session, but is their accurately measured size after a couple of days off.

All good points, firegoat. I would say that although a lot of people on here are truthful, there are probably many that are lying to themselves and others. The reality is I don’t think it’s something they are even aware of. It’s also in surveys. Even in the hebernick study which I find to be a good study for length and girth, I think it’s almost certainly inflated. If you tell a guy to measure mid-shaft and he has a thicker part of his shaft closer to the base or closer to the head by .4”, he will probably measure there, and this is just one of several issues with measuring, and it already throws off the numbers significantly.

Ok UT and what would a tailor do if the tailor tape was inaccurate? Why would paper be more accurate?

Well for one, it’s more of an apples to apples comparison. We see studies that give back an average like 4.8 and we think “wow I’m so much larger” but then what we don’t think about is that they are using paper which is a thinner material than tailors tape. To say which one is more accurate ultimately, I guess I don’t know for certain. I would imagine that it is a printed paper tape. I think a tailors tape at the scale of measuring someone’s chest would be very close to accurate. Just because something is the “best” strategy for quickly measuring a waistline (more difficult with paper) does not mean is the same for measuring a penis. I could be wrong though and I actually hope I am since a tape yields a larger measurement.

Good points UT, Isnt girth often measured at the thickest point? Also condom studies are problably too about the thickest point.

So what do you think is the average girth or average girth range?
All points to 5.5 beeing for sure over the average and average range.

Now when you say 5.5 is massive, its still not massive for vaginas. Its noticably big but not massive for most.

I think that with girth (just my guess), and someone correct me. Once you get to super thick (whatever that is) you just become super thick and with every half inch more it’s just about that other person adapting. My main point is that for all of the guys out there really disciplined with measurements, I feel kind of bad.. Myself Included, the information on the internet is like a toxic disease that infects the perfectionist ocd mentality of people on this site. It’s the idea that there is an online survey where 50% or more of guys pass the tp test or the people on here acting as though 6” girth or 7” length is anything but enormous compared to the typical American male. These ideas are utter bullshit. They are based on such an insanely skewed sample size that for those of is who struggle with the reality, that it throws us way out of tune, and I jut think if you’re going to make your dick bigger it’s probably best to just have a very real bit of knowledge about proper measuring and the real statistics. 5” of girth being average or the median is utterly insane. At that size (what many people on here probably call 5.25-5.5) you should probably be getting some comments about your girth unless you are really long in which case it appears normal.

So I noticed I didn’t answer one of those questions—which is the average girth range. I actually think if you’re very rigorous about it and trying to be scientific in the way that you do it it’s more like 4.25= small average. I believe 20% were in this range for hebernick which sounds right. 4.5=average. 4.8=Above average, 5-5.2=lower end of large and 5.5=huge.

Probably what will happen next is someone who has 6.5” girth will complain about how no one thinks they are a special case. I apologize, but not every girl cares about your huge penis or wants to mention it to you. In fact, unless it’s wildly uncomfortable—it’s probably not on their mind. Next many girls can accommodate a large size, that’s no secret, but just because you slide in nicely doesn’t mean they don’t think you’re big or even huge.

Next point, it is almost a verified fact that average NBP length is about 5-5.2”. Median might be 5. This means that a very standard penis would be 5 x 4.8” according to the current line of thinking. Truth is that those proportions seem incredibly rare based on the responses on thunders. That would mean the average penis is considered a chode, which I find hard to believe. For me this has always been something where if you connect the dots with anything, you see some error, but this is just more personal as a result of my own past insecurities.
