How to measure yourself properly

Hi I’m about to start jelqing for the first time, I’ve done 2 nights so far, but I’ve been looking on the forum and can’t seem to find the proper way to measure urself, can someone tell me or point me to the right thread please :)

While erect take a ruler and place it above you penis. Press it on to your pubic bone till it cannot go in anymore. That would be you BPEL.

urself?

Be sure to measure in the same body position each time. Sitting, standing, whatever, just be consistent.

You can change the measurement by the tilt of your hips, so have that the same each time.

For me it is important to track progress, not to compare to other guys, so consistency is key. (Well I guess it would be key either way…)

You might measure several times over the first few days to make sure you have a good starting measurement. Then you can decide how often you want to check for progress.

Good job Lampwick!

But now that we know we have the information here, I have to say I don’t like illustrations on that page. They show ruler to the side of the penis, which always results in a larger measurement compared with placing the end of the ruler directly above the base. Directly above is the generally accepted standard here, and probably leads to less variation than a side measurement also.

Thank you for the info sorry about the yourself bit

My penis has an upward curve. So if I measure with a ruler it’s different to measuring with a measure tape.

Which is correct?

PS I hate an upward curve. Makes my penis seem smaller than it really is I think!

Apparently its good for sex though.

The convention is to measure with a ruler, though you should be ok as long as you’re consistent.

Hmmh. Good for sex hey. Well I never knew that. Well that’s nice to hear.

However if I measure with a ruler theres quite a bit of a difference to the measuring tape measurement. You say if I’m consistent about it, it should be OK. But that’s in terms of checking my gains. I need to know what my actual measurement is, for myself.

I think the Thunder standard measurement procedure for curved guys is to “flatten” out your upward curve against the side of the ruler that is on top of your penis.

In my case I have both an upward curve and a leftward curve. So, holding the ruler bone pressed in my right hand, I use my left hand to straighten the leftward curve and then flatten the upward curve against the side of the ruler that is on top of my penis. That gives me a true measurement of the actual size.

You can measure with a tape, or ruler, or ruler after you straighten your curve. I know you want to know the true measurement of yourself, but the problem is that there is no true measurement. Not only that, but when you compare yourself to averages or statistics, you will be comparing to liars, bone pressers, non-bone pressers, curved, straight, guys who put the end of the ruler under their balls, or at their anus, women who estimate out of their asses, etc. Most of the time when you hear about sizes, you don’t know any of the details of how they were measured, even in so called scientific studies. So no matter what you do, it really only matters to you, and as you said, just be consistent so you know your true gains.

Sorry for an off topic post, but I would be kind of pissed that she knew about the rest of the dicks in the neighborhood.
