Are you sure you didn't fuck up, and you forgot that you "burned an inch" on your tape when you measured this time? Maybe to keep the tang from snaggin' on your nutsack or something?

It's not an uncommon mistake among men in the trades and "do it yourselfers"......or fishermen for that matter.

If you did, maybe you're actually 5/8" shorter now, and you're really at 6" x 5"?

One drawback of such conventional tape measures is that the tang can become damaged or bent. Another drawback is that the rivet holes in the tape may become excessively ovalized, especially after repeated usage, and the accuracy of the measurement deteriorates. This is generally not a problem for measurements with tolerances of . -.1/8'', but may be a problem for measurements requiring greater accuracy, e.g., . -. 1/16'').

One method employed in the construction trades
to account for this loss of accuracy is to "burn an inch." Burning an inch in construction is typically done to improve accuracy because practitioners tend not to trust the accuracy of the floatingtang or clip, regardless of whether it has become worn or damaged. Burning an inch simply means starting the measurement at the "one inch" marking of the tape instead of at "zero" marking, which is where the tang is located. One error that may occur,however, is that the practitioner forgets about the "one inch" that was burned and ends up one inch short when subsequently cutting material.

Accordingly, a need exists for a practical and efficient tape measure that overcomes at least some of the aforementioned drawbacks.

I sorta figured that, hence the link.

Oh. I figured you probably just used a tape or a ruler you had lying around the house when you decided to measure your dick. I guess I was wrong.

So what sort of lab facility, and what manner of apparatus did you use when you took these scientifically precise measurements of the length and girth of your fleshy member?

Gets me to wondering why you didn't express your results in other more precise units then. Inches and eighths are kinda crude compared to units like the Angstrom or nanometer. Do you guys even still use Angstroms?

length x girth
177,800,000 nanometers x 152,400,000 nanometers

Circle = Pie are sqwared

If you had a 3" width we'd be talking about a 9.4" circumference, which I suspect more than a few ladies would find to be challenging. They might even want to charge you time and a half...

Of course, does anyone have an appendage that is perfectly cylindrical? If so, maybe it could be donated to science (preferably upon death) so that a cross section could be exhibited at the Smithsonian?

i tried beyond seven sheerlon, trojan twisted pleasure, etc. but only liked the loved durex type. i am probably same size as OP so that's why i mentioned these.

some of the pros still like to use their own but whatever, they have to get them on then so it's not a hassle.

as far as the PDE5 inhibitors go, i think they totally rock for doing pros. gives me a bionic dick and i can really get my money's worth. the only trade off is a little loss of sensitivity but the psychological advantage (you can fuck their brains out) really makes up for it. and what the hell, it's with a condom anyway so how great can it be physically. if you are with a civilian girl, though, i don't recommend them as you'll easily overwhelm them and also do your lust-heart connection a disservice.
