After the analingus poll, the testicle poll, and the boobie poll, I demand equal time for the guys. It’s the **penis poll**. Whip it out, guys. **1. How long is it flaccid?** **2. How long is it hard?** **3. Does it bend when hard? If so, in what direction?** **4. Cut or uncut?** **5. Pubes: shaved, trimmed, or natural?** After five answers, I’ll come through with my own stats. ;p - s.e. ---

1. Most of the time. 2. Depends on the duration of the stimulus. 3. I guess so. North. 4. I don’t currently have any cuts. 5. Since the only time I’ve ever even _seen_ my pubes (and my illia and ischia, for that matter) is in an x-ray, I’d have to say natural. ---

_whips it out for scott evil_ (Don’t say I never did anything for you. 😃 ) 1. Depends on temperature, my general state of health, etc. Usually around 3 inches flaccid. 2. Between 6 and 6.5 inches. 3. Bends distinctly to the right (my right, not your right) 4. uncut 5. shaved, with the hair on my lower abdomen trimmed into an arrow pointing down There - 5 answers. Now give your own stats. 😉 ---

1. Varies wildly. Right now in warm weather about 4". Sometimes after sex a good bit more. Sometimes much, much less. Shinkage is not a myth. 2. 6.5". Yes, I (my ex, actually) measured once. 3. Veers slightly to the left. I’m right handed. 4. Cut. Used to be pierced, too, but it grew out. 5. au natural, pal ---

Whip it out, guys. > > \*\* What? Equal time?? Analingus is a bi-partisan sport, the testicle poll is about, well, testicles and the boobie poll is “how do you like them?” not “what are your’s like?” Seems to me it’s the chicks who should be demanding equal time. I should start a cunt poll, but I’m really not sure what to ask… ---

1. 3 to 4’’ It varies, of course. As others said, that is how it works. 2. 6 3/4’’ 3. Looks pretty straight to me 4. cut 5. trimmed up above, shaved below. I guess the real question is, does any of it matter? (there, I absolved myself of any narcissism by questioning the whole idea of the thread. Then again, I did rattle off those measurements fairly quickly. Hmm…) ---

1.) Dunno (never thought to measure it that way, most women don’t care about size when its soft) 2.) 7.5-7.75 depending upon arousal state (if she’s good, I’m bigger) 3.) Gentle curve to the left like a banana 4.) Snipped and damn glad to be so (screw you **JDT**!) 5.) I’m proud to say that I’m a card-carrying member of the Unshorn Brothers of the Apocalypse. ---

You may all thank **scott evil** for what I am about to reveal:)[sub]I’ve hinted at this stuff for nearly two years…[/sub] 1. 2.5 or so. 2. 7-ish (No, I haven’t measured in a while. 18 months or so, probably) 3. Tilts to the left. Definite tilt. 4. Cut. 5. Trimmed it a few days ago because I was bored. ---

Fine. 1. 3.5" o so 2. 7.5" 3. Slightly to the left. 4. Cut. 5. Natural, though I trim my nuts from time to time. Happy? 😉 - s.e. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ok-thats-it-penis-poll/108006.md?page=2)
