Appearance of length vs girth

I am just wondering what girth looks proportional to 7.25NBP-7.5NBP?

What would make that length look proportionally thicker? I don’t feel too much longer than thicker, but at this length and slightly over 5 inches girth, it’s noticeable. It seems like 7.5 NBP X 5.5 would be perfect proportions, and 7.5 NBP X 5.75 and above would look a little thicker than longer. Anyone who has gained girth have thoughts on this?

Thanks.

I agree.

I like to keep the general ratio’s the same to 6.5x5 so I multiply the NBP by 0.769 (easy for me to remember).

6.5 NBP would be 5.00 girth
7.5 NBP would be 5.77 girth
8.5 NBP would be 6.53 girth

But eh. This could be a bit girthy? I like girthy.

Yeah I think 6.5 NBPX5, maybe just slightly over is perfectly proportional, at the same time I think 8.5X6.5 is probably a bit on girthy side. Either way that’s absolutely enormous!

For the guys who are longer than thick, how much do you feel like your length makes your girth look worse. I certainly feel as though I would look thicker with a shorter penis. You often here about the converse, guys who are too thick, and it prevents them from looking longer, but being long with average to slightly above average girth can look sort of awkward in the turtle stage. Not that I have any right at all to complain, just wandering if anyone else feels this way.

I’m 7.25” x 5.25” (bpel x mseg) and I’ve heard indirectly that it looks thin, either from overhearing women talking about my unit or having women tell me what they’ve heard about it. I’ve had No negative comments from intercourse since I’ve found thunders though and I’ve had more than a few “small” comments thrown my way before I discovered this wonderful place :-) . But I do still feel I am proportionately thin for my length.

Really? From what I’ve heard other say on here most would consider that pretty big. And how do you overhear women talking about your cock?

I’ve heard the women talk in bars when they weren’t aware I was behind them. Even one time I was talking to a girl that I had slept with and there were about 5 or 6 other guys talking with us (4 of whom she had also slept with) and these guys were bragging about there size (I mentioned nothing about my size because I just don’t do that around men ) and she came out and said I was the smallest she had been with out of 8 guys. Mind you, I had mentioned nothing about my self.

I’ve shown some women pictures of my dick at my last job because the chics were cool so I asked for an honest assessment and the response of 3 out of 4 were that the length was good but the girth was skinny. So rumors would fly that I have a skinny dick. I’m proud of my unit since I’ve discovered thunders so I would show it off I suppose to make my self more secure because for once in my life I feel a little bigger than average. I consider myself at the high end of average. Before I discovered thunders I had more than my share of “small” comments and I’ve heard them said directly at me to my face and I’ve had the unfortunate privilege of having women tell me that “so and so said you had a small dick” or ” so and so said you have a thin cock” and I would hear these comments without me mentioning anything at all about my penis. These women took it upon themselves to tell me.

Kimish, that is just amazing. Most women must really have no absolute gauge of lengths to judge the length and girth independently without letting perception fool them. Anyway, your experience seems to indicate that a girth/length ratio of 0.724 or lower is undesirable.

However, I would throw out another way to compute the desired girth for a given length based on the area of the girth. This might be more inline with what a person perceives/feels. To get this ratio it is assumed that the penis is circular, but this assumption should not change the results much. Anyway, just compute the effective diameter from the girth: D_eff = Girth/pi. Then get the effective area: A_eff = pi*D_eff^2 = Girth^2/pi. Finally divide the effective area by the length for the ratio: Ratio = Girth^2/(pi*Length). Thus for a desired ratio and given length you get: Girth = sqrt(Ratio*pi*Length).

For comparison, given a 6.5x5 “ideal”:

7.5 NBP would be 5.37” (vs. 5.77” from above)
8.5 NBP would be 5.72” (vs. 6.53” from above)

These seem like they could be perceived as proportionally thin to me (5.37” is not thin!). Of course I think that the ideal ratio of 6.5x5 would be perceived as a little thin as well (or perhaps “long, but not thick”). Coincidentally, Kimish’s size is almost perfectly inline with this metric - 7.25 NBP results in 5.28” girth for the 6.5x5 ratio.

Personally, I’m 6.5x5.25 and I think it is generally perceived as “kinda thick”; however, using my own ratio as ideal, then for 7.5 NBP you would want a 5.63” girth which is inline with UkranianTitan’s expectations that 5.5” would be “ideal” and 5.75” would be “too thick” for a 7.5” NBP dick.

I think the physical size of the guy, length of limbs, uniformity of girth, etc. will affect perception. A guy with 5.25” base girth and 4.5” glans and a 7”+ BPEL who is tall and fat or muscular will look like he has a thin penis, I think. But a shorter, skinnier guy with a uniform girth from base to glans of 5.25” and a 7” BPEL (~7” NBPEL) will look both long and relatively thicker.

I`m 6 7/8” long and 5 1/5” in girth and I would imagine I`m reasonable proportional.

I know if I gain more girth I will look shorter if I don`t get more length first, but this is obvious from a proportional standpoint.

Honestly, even though I`ve gained an inch in length since december of `09 I don`t see myself as bigger.and maybe I never will.

And frankly, I wouldn`t give a shit what an ex had to say about my dick.

In my case, I am about 7” NBPEL, about 8”BPEL, and I am just under 5.5” in circumference at the glans, just under 5.75” at midshaft, and around 6.25” right at the base. To my eye, it looks as if I could use another inch to make the proportions ideal. If I displace most of the fat pad upward and back with a finger, it looks just about right.

So I would agree that a NBPEL of 7.5” with a girth in the 5.5” to 5.75” range at midshaft would look pretty damn good.

Thanks for the replies all. Kimish, I feel bad for you man, and everyone else like you. I mean even in the worst case scenario, like the most exaggerated study ever, you’re still above average in both length and girth. Yet I understand how traumatizing it can be when someone indicates otherwise. I suggest just reading the experiences of guys much like yourself at your length, and girth, and I am sure that the majority of posts will be about the positive comments they receive from women (mind you this is on a site where people are coming to because they feel they have a “problem”). Lastly, I think if we look at our own dicks we will always feel small, I am OCD and so if I see another guy who is probably 3.5X3 inches at the gym, I’ll contort everything in my head to make him seem bigger. Even with serious turtle dick, I am still 4.5-4.75X4.25 NBP flaccid. The average of almost every study is said to be around 3-4X3.5-4, and I still feel like I have a baby dick in the locker room.

I was thinking the same thing!! Well, almost; I feel I cannot really see my girth gains because of course there have been added length gains as well. I am the same stats as you and still do feel a little thin for the length. Five inches of girth definitely looks bigger on a 6-5.6 in penis.

5.25 eg is definitely an above average girth and proportional to 7.25 bpel. Kimish: what is your penis width (diameter)?
