Title: Measuring degree curvature
Post by: Packing on March 05, 2014, 04:19:33 PM
I have a significant downward curvature, but don't know to reliably measure the degrees of curvature.  Any help would be appreciated.

Packing,
I just emailed this to you.

Could you post the measurement tool/instruction in the library?

Yes I have been meaning to do this. It is in the resource library now.

Les- Thanks for the measuring graft. I know you showed me this before, but I must have mis understood it. I always thought I was 45% dorsal. But after seeing this post, I'm at least 60 or more. I'm still able to use it though!! Inkhorn

Les, I just looked at the measuring tool.  Thanks for posting it.  A question: It seems awfully subjective where that first line is placed.  If I had done it, I would have put the line far more horizontal.  To me it looks like this guy just doesn't have a very strong erection --which shifts the angle of the first line down quite a bit. Certainly it doesn't seem like he would have much trouble with intercourse with this 60 degree curvature--whereas others might have more trouble with a smaller measured angle.  Do you have thoughts?

I could be subjective +/- 5 degrees which would make an even smaller difference in the curvature angle. You have to ignore almost everything except say the first centimeter or so of the base of the erection. And drawing a line that is parallel to both sides of the shaft. Also, in this case the blue line is also the erection angle, which has nothing to do with curvature angle.

This picture came from Wikipedia, and yes I believe this guy will have difficulty with intercourse. Because it is the angle of curvature that causes the problem. During intercourse it is much easier to slip out once you get to the point of curvature.

Proposing you to read the forum and get familiar with the boards.
