How do you measure a penis?
The NHS gives advice on how to measure a penis.
At first they advise to see your penis as other people would, so look at yourself undressed in front of a full-length mirror.
The penis looks longer and larger than when observed from above.
According to the health service, there is little point in getting out a ruler or tape measure when the penis is limp.
This is because a flaccid penis can vary a lot, for example, depending on how cold the room is.
To get a precise measurement, do it when you have an erection.
You should measure the penis on the top side, from the base to the tip.
