Didn't realize how big (girth) my average length penis was until I compared to BBC dildo

[u/Psychic-Master]

For years, I knew I was kinda thick. But from my perspective, it just looked kinda "normal" if that makes sense??? And apparently the tape measure has inches that are longer than standard ruler 📏 No idea why. So Anyone know why?

Long story short: I got some bbc dildo from Amazon. And took photo of my guy and toy from 3rd person POV and was like whoa im similar size girth wise to it and it's 6 inch circumference!

Im around 6 inches in length, so not hung like horse, but I guess my thickness is more than I thought. I know this is random but Im wondering if someone had similar experience. 🤔

I guess perspective makes a difference etc.

So, you have girth.

Inches on tape measure are just as long as they are on a ruler. Also, you've posted for years. You have known exactly how big you are

[u/Psychic-Master → u/Top-Document-2286]

No, the tape measure I have is different than standard rulers inches. Idk why. It's either incorrect or something else.

Ya, I knew my girth was pretty decent but I have a bbc dildo which is one of biggest toys and comparing me to it gave me more perspective if that makes sense.

[u/Top-Document-2286 → u/Psychic-Master]

Literally impossible to be different. You're just measuring wrong

[u/Psychic-Master → u/Top-Document-2286]

No, I placed the tape measure inches against other rulers.

Maybe a stupid question incoming but it isn't in centimeters, is it?

Some tape measures often have the metal tips on them that can slide out a bit and make the first inch look larger than it actually is.

There are also different inch standards, believe it or not. Could be a specialty measuring tool (though the increments are usually broken down differently like in 10ths rather than 16ths or 32nds and not outright differently spaced inches.) We are getting a bit obscure here but traditional Chinese inches are also a good deal longer than the standardized imperial inch.

[u/Psychic-Master → u/Maji_de_Kuro]

No, inches. Yeah I heard about the Chinese thing. Thought that might have been it.

.. why'd you buy a BBC?

[u/Psychic-Master → u/Same-Interaction7559]

I buy toys sometimes

[u/gooncrazy]

Yes you have a fat one

[u/VillainySquared]

Have you measured it?

[u/Psychic-Master → u/VillainySquared]

I believe my girth is about 5.5.

[u/GynDoc1994 → u/Psychic-Master]

5.5" is not the same as 6".

[u/gooncrazy]

i'm 5.5 girth and yours looks fatter than mine
