Is your EL during your strongest erection the size that you should compare to studies

Today I had a decent P.E session, very good stretching, but not the best jelqing. Afterwards I masturbated for about 15 minutes after telling myself that for once I was going to enjoy it without measuring at any point. I looked down to see my penis looked bigger than usual, and it was pointing at a nice upward angle, while usually it only slightly points up. I quickly decided I had to measure, pushed my erection down with the ruler, and to my amazement I hit 6.5. I carefully looked at where the ruler was meeting the base to make sure I wasn’t pushing in at all (I always measure NBPL). I then released a slight bit of cum, i kegeled so I wouldn’t ejaculate, but a bit slipped out.

I then continued to jerk off to see if I could get the same measurement, but my erection wouldn’t go so strong again that it would go at a big upward angle, and I couldn’t get a bigger reading than 6.2, my usual measurement. I remember when I first started 5 months ago, and my EL was about 5.9 that one time after jerking off for 30 minutes with no intent on measuring, I saw my penis was at a great upward angle, the same angle that I saw today, and I hit 6.2.

My question is, is the maximum erection that I obtain the one that everyone reports on here, and in surveys? Should my EL now be 6.5 instead of 6.25. I know it only matter for myself, but I just want to know where I stand out of curiousity. And more importantly, if I kegel a lot ( right now I only do 120 3 times a week) then will I be able to always have my maximum erection? I was surprised to see a new max today, because I stopped smoking a few months ago, and yesterday I smoked several cigs and a blunt, and I thought that would fuck with my circulation.

I would say that if you are able to consistently reproduce a reading of 6.5” then that is your EL. I only measure when I know my erection is very strong. Some guys use Viagra or Cialis to ensure they are measuring their most maxed out erection.

I believe most studies have used a “medically induced” erection, which I can only assume would result in a high intensity erection.

For tracking your gains, yes, use the number you can consistently achieve, but if you’ve been able to get a slightly higher number on a “good” day then give yourself some credit! I’m sure most athletes can’t consistently run/jump/swim their record times every day, but they compare themselves to others by their “best” times.

PE can be hard enough to do day after day. If you have honestly got a “personal best” then be proud of it! Let it motivate and inspire you!

If studies don’t use medically induced erection then it’s very probable the erection are not so stiff.. When you are on your own and masturbate until you are near to cum then edge more and more time (for example 30 minutes.) your penis become bigger.it reaches it’s max erection and I think it should be the size studies have to use.. Nice question mate,always wondered about the same thing and you started this thread so I hope some senior member could enlighten us.

Even if there were a lot of posts about studies done on penile length/girth…it’s a sure thing they used medically induced erections ? Can’t remember this detail.

p.s: I think, a medically induced erection is bigger than even a normal edged one .

I think a super hard “normal” erection is the same as a medically induced as you can’t go beyond your natural limits with medicines.. Also consider the shitty situation for a straight man (a naked man in front of another man.). I read of studies where pretty nurses took the measurements and I m sure in those studies there were many super erections.. :D but we can’t be sure about the protocols they use when doing these studies.

Smegma, a medically induced erection “bypasses” all the things which could lower the EQ like psychological/physiological factors. :)

When I measure, I wait until about 15 minutes into the erection to make sure I am fully erect. I take several measurements during a measuring session, and look for the most consistent one

Unless I can reproduce a measurement over the course of four or five days, I do not consider it a good measurement.

That’s what I do.
