Girth is the circumference of the erect penis. It can be measured with one of those cloth tape measures you find in a sewing kit, or you can use string or something and measure that afterward. I measure around the midpoint of the shaft.

About 80% of men have a girth between 4.0 and 5.5 inches. The average girth is just under 5 inches.
