Does girth inhibit length

I’ve read some mixed reviews on this and I’m wondering if any of the vets have a good answer. It seems a lot of hangers are convinced it does. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing either way because I’m new and have no experience with this. I’m rather skinny with only 4 in girth so I’d love to get it thicker but not if I should be focusing on my length first. The question also comes up because my ligs are sore/ache from manual stretching and jelqing. I was going to take a few days off but thought about just using my bath mate since it doesn’t stress the ligs very much.

Any thoughts?

Girth and length gains

Everyone is different.

Do some work and see what effect that has on your dick.

Repeat.

There is a negative correlation between starting girth and total length gains, but it’s a weak correlation

These are graphs from page 4 of Tube’s analysis of the PE Database, which was done in 2004.

It only says that people with lower starting girth tend to gain more length. Doesn’t make any statements about length or girth first.

There sure are a lot of claims of gains of 2” and higher… some even over 3.5” if I am reading it right. More growth than I would have expected, or might possibly believe.

I would do it myself but I wouldn’t know where to start as far as how to accurately process the data… but at 9 years later, we must have much more data to pull from.

People with bigger starting girth are less focused on gaining girth, arguably.

I appreciate the replys. I would really like to add girth since I’m so skinny but don’t won’t to hinder the length in the long run. I’ll go with the flow and just keep on the newbie routine and see what happens!

:up:

You do not have to worry about losing girth, its not possible, you can only gain girth from a newbie starting point. Generally, it is true as you increase length, or as you gain length exceeding an inch, you may see small reductions in girth. But, when you first start out, you can only gain. And, gain in every department, so do not concern yourself with “losing” anything, it simply cannot be done.

I’d love to see that graph with the 9 years extra data too. If I had a cool enough stats program, I’d do it myself too.

Regarding big gainers. Based on all the stats I know (which is more than the average bear, but I’m no stats expert) penis starting size and total size gains are both positively skewed Gaussian distributions. It’s fairly obvious based on the shapes of all the distribution graphs we have. So most of the big gainers in the database are telling the truth since their frequency fits pretty well with the expected Gaussian curve. Sure there are a few bullshitters in there, but they are the exception - otherwise they all managed to coordinate their lies into a perfectly fitted Gaussian distribution, which I highly doubt. The problem is and always will be that the 60% of guys who gain less than the average amount (and especially the 30% of guys who gain less than half the average amount) will always have trouble believing the 1% of guys who gain triple the average amount, and an even more difficult time believing the 1 in a thousand who gain 5x the average amount.

Some numbers from Slipstream’s thread.

5% gain 1.8” or more
2% gain 2.2” or more
1% gain 2.5” or more
0.4% gain 3.0” or more
0.1% gain 3.5” or more

Median gain 0.6”
Average gain 0.7”

I don’t se that as an peoblem that big girth stats hinder lenght gains.. I started just under 6” girth and have gained over 1” in lenght.. but have harder to gain girth instead.

But everyone is different as said above
