    We don’t snugly clothe dicks to the degree we do tits. Bras has to fit fairly snug to function correctly and that requires some level of precision. About the only thing that is snugly worn on the penis are condoms, which are very elastic.

    I can think of one standard for dick size, and it’s from NASA. Apollo astronauts wore external catheters for much of the mission, that is, a condom with a hose at the end for collecting urine. These came in three sizes but none of the astronauts would accept “small” or even “medium” so they were sized Large, Giant and Humongous.

    Beyond that, like most male body parts, it is simply measured in inches.

      This reminds me of how when I go shopping for eggs in the supermarket, they are sold in sizes of Large, X-Large, and Jumbo. Nobody wants to face the humiliation of buying a carton of small eggs.

        It is my understanding that eggs graded as small or medium are usually sold to food factories. Think about an outfit like Jimmy Dean, how many tons of scrambled eggs do they make to a batch for all those frozen microwavable sausage and egg biscuits? Who cares how many individual eggs they have to crack?

      Eh, it can be argued that the “function” of a bra is to allow women to adhere to the beauty standards set for them by men.

      That being said, they still aren’t made that precisely, cup sizes are kinda all over the place depending on brand, and even the band sizes (which are kinda sorta close to the actual inch measurement of your ribcage, but not quite) are variable. That’s why bras have adjustable straps everywhere, and why if you haven’t been professionally fitted for one, your bras probably don’t fit you right.
