Don't cheat when measuring...

Sometimes I feel like I am cheating myself. I don’t really know when is the best time to measure my cock to check for progress/no progress. I’ve seen many different methods which I have tried all but they are so opposite of each other I don’t know which one to do. It would make more sense to me to measure on a day you have not don’t any stretches or exercises. Also it would make sense to me not to do it when you first wake up b/c of morning wood. I will usually wack it till i feel like if i keep going im going to cum and stop then measure. I also have to remember that my penis points up so i need to push it down straight when the ruler is on top, this is correct right? I always gain when doing that i just dont know if its cheating. It’s stupid you would think that measuring something(we mostly have learned in kindergarten school) would be easy, but when it comes to your penis you turn special. I maybe wrong about all of this, but if I am not wrong then that means for the first time in my life I actually gained in pe(it only took me about 5 tries).

Length

• Always use the same ruler.
• Measure after a minimum two day break.
• Ensure a good hard erection.
• Stand up straight or lie down.
• Don’t push the hips forward.
• Measure on the top.
• Push hard against the pubic bone.
• Don’t dig in under the pubic bone. Rotate the ruler along the axis of the width 45° to avoid this.
• Angle the penis at 90° to the body.
• Straighten the penis to the ruler along it’s length.
• Take multiple measurements over the course of several hours and use the mean.
• Be consistent in the way you measure.

Girth

• Use a tailors measuring tape
• Measure after a minimum two day break.
• Ensure a maximal erection (less than maximal may inflate the figures).
• Measure at three points along the shaft: base, mid, behind glans. Measure the glans, if attempting to track this.
• Take multiple measurements over the course of several hours and use the mean.
• Be consistent in the way you measure.

Thank you sir, everything answered in one post.

That would good stickied or attached somehow to the newbie routine info.

One question, why would you want to wait two days before you measure length?

Waiting a day or two removes most temporary swelling from the equation, revealing your actual progress.
