    Assuming the pre-surgery length was something normal (making it a rounding error from this point on) and the average 3.5" long flaccid penis takes 130 mL of blood to achieve a 5.17" erection (4.59" in circumference), those extra ~2.1 billion inches would require 5.4 million-ish liters of blood to fill. If those are 2.1 billion flaccid inches, call it about 8 million liters.

    Average total blood volume for an adult human is 4.5 to 5.6 liters so we’re going to need more. An Olympic swimming pool is 50x25 meters with a minimum depth of 2 meters. That’s 2.5 million liters. It’ll take two of those full of blood and a little extra to get things up and running.

    Somewhere in that ballpark anyway, I think. Don’t rely on this for medical purposes. Average dick-mensions and pool specifications from Wikipedia, blood fill numbers from a Healthline article.

    Inches makes it seem more impressive than it is–that’s like only around 30 miles or so.

      Uh… By my calculations, it’s ~34,000 miles. Enough to go all the way around the world about one and a half times.

      And, yeah, I’m going to say that’s fairly impressive. If you got the angle right, you could fuck yourself in the ass with it.

        I may have failed most of my math classes. But if you think about it, perhaps the classed failed me?

    If your penis was that long, it would be large enough to fill the entire physical universe. It would be so massive, that it would immediately collapse into a penile singularity, creating a new penis-verse (the cosmological phenomenon, not the gay bar by my house). I know this because I am a penis physicist, also known as a peenysicist. And if you believe me, that’s your own fault.
