Omniscient, you can stop pretending you know everything (uh…wait a minute)…

You’re talking about the side. Not the direct bottom. And erection angles widely vary. You can easily straighten, it, no matter what the angle.

handy, you can’t count the part on the inside.

steelwhip, why not the volume?

Formula (roughly for a cylinder): circumfrence times length.

First we have boob geometry, now we have penile geometry. Volume is a good general measurement I suppose, but at which point do you measure the circumference?

Steelwhip, use weight. Yep, to measure breasts and penises, just weigh them. Dunno how they are gonna weigh an erect one.

I guess the only accurate way to answer this is to get opinions fromwomen who have been with large men,and also average ones. I see Heather Locklear and Pamela Lee would the the ones to ask.
