It is not so much about how far you can penetrate your partner. It IS ALL ABOUT establishing a datum point for measuring your own before and after.

How far you penetrate your partner depends on many factors, which depend on position and who you partner is for starters.

If you want to compare your OWN before and after dimensions, you have to have a stable, repeatable basis. And that is most easily established by measuring from the pubic bone. Since we cannot get to that bone directly, pressing a ruler agaijhst the fat pad covering the pubic bone is a suitable substitute, as long as you don't gain or lose a lot of fat in that area between measurements.

Comparing YOUR measurements against other men's measurements, then is futile, but comparing YOUR before and after DIFFERENCES to HIS before and after DIFFERENCES, can be useful and valid. But that is as far as it goes.

I understand your concerns. If I was in your shoes, I'd be concerned as well. I've been on this board 4 years. I've read damn near every implant thread on here. I've read of many high pumps that settled into place in time. Be patient. Hopefully yours will too. Hang in there.

It's the pump stuck to the scrotum that's causing it to be in the way.

Yes. Most of the time these issues disappear in time. Especially when you've chosen an excellent surgeon. The major concern with a pump stuck to the scrotum is infection. As long as you don't have a fever, I'd say you'll be fine.

I understand completely. At this point, unfortunately all you can do is give it time.

Have you seen a size decrease like mine go back to normal?

You have to admit it's a pretty substantial change.
