flaccid vs erect length

[Eharrison]

I have a Titan XL and one of the things that I really like, that has taken a little used to, is that my flaccid length is 6.5". My erect length currently stands at about 6.75" My erect length is back up to where I was pre-op. Having a 6.5" inch flaccid penis is a point of pride and my wife likes the look in my skinny jeans. I usually ride it to the right because it doesn't like to be crowded pointing it up.

Getting an implant is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thanks Dr. Hakky.

For those of you with an IPP how much difference is there between your flaccid and erect length? I have always been a grower and wonder what it would be like to be a shower. Also if its not too much to ask which IPP do you have?

That was one of my questions when I was checking on getting an implant. I was a grower for sure! Less then an inch flaccid, I always hated that! 5.5" erect which was OK ( what man doesn't want more??). Now with my implant, I am 4+" flaccid, really like that, and still 5.5" erect. So I am very happy with how it all turned out.

Yes, 5.5" is thrown around as being average. If the study used the bone pressed method I think your right. Heck I've seen old pics on FT where the guy measures down along the side. That gets about an extra 1".

5.5 isn't just "thrown around" as the average length of an erect dick. This what is reported in medical journals.

Actually, the average range of erect dick length is actually reported at 5.1-5.5" and the median at 5.4."

I measure my dick length w/a flexible tailor's tape from the top starting at the pubic bone to the tip of the glans. Until now, it has always been 5.75" but I'm still hoping for more.

I tried measuring from the side and came up with 6.5" (which I, of course, liked better) but this measurement method is bogus because I could press the end of the tape into infrapubic space well before my dick would be stopped from entering a pussy any further by the pubic bone on top.

Some other points of interest in the articles that I've read on the topic are:

1) The erect length of 95% of erect dicks is reported at 6.3" or less, which means that only 5% of dicks exceed 6.3."

I know from watching porno that there are some men walking around w/some huge dicks but they are in a rare MINORITY!

2) Men almost always self-report the length of their dicks as longer than they actually are, which is what you'd expect. So, it seems that self reports of 6" or more are mostly "aspirational" and NOT based in reality.

3) The average girth of erect dicks is reported at 4.58.

So, at 5.75"L x 6"G post op, my erect dick is actually above "average" and, even if doesn't get any bigger, I'll still be satisfied with it.

That won't get rid of my "dick envy" when I see a really huge schlong but, knowing what the data really is, I am not ashamed of or insecure about what I've got either.

I'm just shy of 5" flaccid, (which gives me a nice bulge I like showing off ) and I'm 6.25" hard.

The AMS LGX will have a greatest Delta between flaccid (deflated) and erect (inflated) lengths. This is because its cylinders are designed to expand in girth and length of 10-25%. The measurable difference becomes greater as the implant size increases. I don’t have an LGX so I’ll leave it to those who do to report their experiences.

Titan cylinders (and AMS CX) are not designed to expand in length. Although every surgeon I spoke to said they will stretch out a little bit over time. Kind of like shoes stretch and become more comfortable as they break in. Basically the Titan cylinders stay nearly the same length deflated as inflated. The only contraction is the flaccid penis pulling back causing the cylinders to fold in on themselves (accordion effect). I’m noticing over time my flaccid penis is yielding to the titan cylinders. Dog ears are becoming less noticeable and there is only about 1/2” difference between erect & flaccid lengths.

If you always wanted to be a shower, the Titan will certainly do that for you.

FWIW, my doc said that I could reasonably expect an increase of 1/4-1/2" in both length & girth of 1/4-1/2" w/my Titan touch w/in 3 month when I'm due to see him again in mid-May.

That would put me at 6-6.25" L & 6.25-6.5"G and I'd be happy with that. We'll see . . .

I was given a 22 cm Titan. I am 6 inches flaccid and 7 inches erect. I was a grower already but now it swings in my pants. I don't care.
I m not proud nor ashamed, just indifferent. That said, I catch women staring when I wear gray sweat pants. oh well.

Pre-ED, I was in that average range, right at 6".
Having had quite a number of ladies in my past, many have outright told me they don't like any bigger. It can be painful for them.
It's much more important to know how to use it, than it is to have a huge cock.

Agreed!

The average depth of a pussy is (for obvious reasons) about the same as the length of the average dick. So, if the data is correct most pussies should be around 5.1-5.5" deep.

I've only got 5.75" and I'll touched the cervix of a few and that's all I've needed to go pube to pube which (for me) is one of the best parts of f*cking.

Longer dicks are great for show but no woman likes to feel the head of a dick pounding on her cervix which means that anyone w/a dick much longer than 6" can't fully enter most pussies which would be a terrible loss IMO.

Lots of great points. One of the studies I read put me at the 70th percentile. Ok, 6" was the 70th. In this study, normal for what ever its worth. Was defined as 20% above or below the mean average. Don't beat me up for maybe using some of the statistical words wrong. We know what I mean. So I guess you could argue that 40% of men defined average. As a man went above or below the 30 to 70 mark. The sizes quickly ran into lower & lower length deviations of the norm.
Cervix seems to be a well reconized vaginal landmark. One time my wifes obgyn mentioned that he was surprised that she didn't have troucble getting pregnant because her cervix was pretty deep. Ok, good to know. When she had a copper coil I was able to hit the stupid little fishing line thing dead on with my urethra. Its amazing how quicky you can go into reverse when that happens.
So I have it on my own experience from a doctors comment. That 6" can hit a deep cervix. Oh, my wife didn't seemed to mind having her cervix knocked around. I was happy about that.
