I’ve been on a tractor all day and need to shower but my wife is in bathtub using all of the hot water so I might as well try to answer your question. Which, by the way, seems like it ought to be simple and straightforward but isn’t.
First of all: don’t worry about flaccid length. It is a fairly poor predictor of erect size. I didn’t know that for years. I assumed everyone doubled in size when they got an erection….and the guys I was showering with would have 10-12 inch monsters.
So, you have a 15 cm erect penis. That’s roughly 6 inches in imperial measurements. Totally and wholeheartedly normal and a great size to have.
But you really don’t have 15 cm. You have 15 cm erection that is visible. You’ve got more penis internally, behind the pubic bone, that is never seen and isn’t usable since it doesn’t stick out from your body. That’s what makes it difficult to predict exactly how much implant a guy needs from measurements alone. Different individuals have different amounts of penis length tucked away back there, and surgeons often don’t know how much until they open a guy up on the operating table.
to complicate matters even more, the end of the erectile body (the corpora cavernous) which would be filled by an implant doesn’t run all the way to the end. After an implant, you can feel the end of the implant in the head with your fingers by probing for it, so there’s a half to 3/4 of an jnch (1.25-1.75 cm) of penis not accounted for in front of any implant.
But back to the hidden part, behind the pubic bone. How much is there? It varies. The majority of guys have between 2/3 of their penis visible - 1/3 of their penis invisible and 3/4 of their penis visible - 1/4 of their penis invisible based on anatomy. It’s not unheard of for guys to be outside those parameters, but the vast majority fall somewhere in that range.
Use me as an example. Before surgery I was 17.4 cm in length fully erect. 1.7 cm of my head at the end contains no part of the implant. So my visible implant is 15.7 cm. They installed 23 cm of implant. 23-15.7=7.3 cm of implant behind the pubic bone, inside the part of my penis which is never visible outside my body. That works out to a ratio of 68% visible/32% behind pubic bone…..right there well within normal anatomical limits.
As of now I have seen a decrease in size from 17.4 to 16.7 cm erect, a year and a half after surgery.
I hope I have not been confusing in my explanation, my goal was to tell you it’s not simple and there are many variables. The bottom line for a guy with 15 cm erect visible, you would expect to see an implant size between 18 and 22 cm total with about 20 or 21 most likely.
