How To "Accurately" Measure Your Dick
for our smallDICK dickSIZE Survey

Meet Our Model

This is our model, Dick. He is a realistic, Doc Johnson, Executive 5" Cock. He's an average dick at approximately 5" in length and approximately 5" in circumference.

Now, see how we arrived at those measurements ...

A Word About Accuracy

We put the word "accuractely" in quotes, because it is practically impossible to measure any dick's dimensions with true accuracy. Because we'll all interpret measurement readings a little differently and will round up or down our measurements to the nearest quarter of an inch, there will be lots of slight variations and errors in our resulting statistics. However, all we can hope is that each of you will attempt to report your dimensions as accurately as possible. If we all strive to do that, over time, the slight variations and errors will become less significant. Therefore, please take a moment to read through the following measurement guidelines, so that we all report from the same understanding of how to "accurately" measure dick dimensions for the purpose of this survey. Thanks in advance for your consideration of the integrity of our survey and for the consideration of others who make a legitimate effort to report their dick dimensions as accurately as possible.

What You Will Need

The first thing you will need is some means of measuring your dick. Either a regular ruler or some type of measuring tape works well. A flexible, cloth or plastic measuring tape such as those used by tailors is ideal. Those can be purchased inexpensively at many variety stores and fabric shops if you don't already have one. Because the survey has been created with the Imperial measurement system in mind, your measuring device of choice should measure in inches. You can make your measurements in centimeters using the Metric system, but you'll need to convert your measurements from centimeters into inches before completing the survey. Our own dickSTICK will help with any necessary conversions from inches to centimeters or vice versa.

Measuring Your Dick's Hard Length

The picture to your right shows our model having his dick's hard length measured using a flexible, measuring tape. You can click on the image to view a larger version from a different perspective.

Here is what you should keep in mind when measuring your dick's hard length:

• You must be fully hard (erect).
• You must measure along the top of your dick.
• The measuring tape's end must rest at the point where your dick joins your body.
• The measuring tape's end must not be forcibly pushed "into" the body.
• View the measurement reading from directly above.
• Round the measurement reading either up or down to the nearest 0.25 (quarter) of an inch.

Measuring Your Dick's Soft Length

The process of measuring your dick's soft length is practically identical to measuring your dick's hard length, except for the obvious fact that you will be soft (unerect). However, measuring your soft dick's length brings up some issues to consider.

Some guys' dicks shrink to almost nothing when they are nervous or chilly, yet hang significantly longer when fully relaxed, hot, or somewhat aroused. Getting an "accurate" soft dick measurement is probably the most difficult of any of these measurements.

As a general guideline, you will have to judge what you consider to be your usual soft dick length measurement. If your soft dick is always pretty much the same length, then your task is relatively easy. However, if you are like many guys, who's soft dick length changes from one moment to the next depending on stress levels, temperature changes, activities, and a host of other circumstances, then you will have to make an educated guess or estimate as to what is your usual soft dick length measurement.

Here is what you should keep in mind when measuring your dick's soft length:

• Follow the basic guidelines for measuring your dick's hard length to measure your dick's soft length.
• You must not be at all aroused or semi-hard (semi-erect).
• You must be relaxed and comfortable.
• Do not take your measurement after you've just hopped out of a hot shower or returned from a dip in a cold lake. These are likely to be extremes states, not your usual state.
• If you sometimes "shrink" and at other times "hang", then try to determine what you preceive to be your most usual state -- NOT YOUR DESIRED STATE.
• If you're really not sure what your most usual state is (shrunk, hanging, or somewhere in between) then choose a measurement somewhere between what is your typical shortest soft state and your typical longest soft state.

Measuring Your Dick's Hard Circumference (Thickness)

For the purposes of our survey, we require that you report your dick's hard thickness as a measurement of circumference. Circumference is defined as the perimeter of a circle. It would be inaccurate to report your dick's thickness as a measurement of diameter as many guys' dicks are not evenly thick all the way around. Some are wider across the top than they are from top to bottom. Therefore, circumference, the measurement around the entire outer perimeter the dick, is the best standard for our purposes.

Circumference is most easily measured using a flexible, measuring tape. However, if you don't have access to a flexible measuring tape, you can still measure your dick's circumference. All you need to do is take a standard sheet of printer paper, cut from the long side approximately a 1" strip. Then use the strip as you would a flexible measuring tape, except instead of reading the measurement, you'll need to place a mark on the strip of paper with a pencil or pen at the point of the "reading". Then you can lay the strip of paper beside your non-flexible measuring device to determine your dick's circumference.

Here is what you should keep in mind when measuring your dick's hard circumference:

• You must be fully hard (erect).
• You must measure the most commonly thick portion of your dick's shaft. If your dick is extremely thick in only one area, but generally thinner along most of its length, then use a point of measurement that reflects the most common thickness of the shaft.
• Do not measure a "mushroom-like" dick head (a dick head larger than the shaft) and report it as the overall thickness of your dick. You must measure the shaft of your dick.
• The measureing tape (or paper strip) must be slightly snug, but definately not too tight or too loose.
• Round the measurement reading either up or down to the nearest 0.25 (quarter) of an inch.

Thanks for being as "accurate" as possible!
