Measuring BP

Quick question when measuring your BPEL do you do it standing up, sitting down or lying down. Just needed to know because if I take a BPEL measurement lying down its a shorter measurement than standing which in turn is a shorter measurement than sitting.

It depends where I am. If I’m in bed in the morning I’ll do it lying down (I keep a ruler handy! ;) ) otherwise if I’m sitting at my computer I’ll do it sitting. Sometimes I also do it standing. I never really thought about it until this poll. From now on though, I’m going to measure it in a standing position every time, so I know no gains are made from being in a different position. I’ll also get a good idea of how big it will be when I’m standing proud in front of my gf, hands on hips, groin thrust fowards! (Any attempt to make it seem more, visually!) :p

I thought that the official where to take it standing up, although I usually do it sitting down.

I think if your measuring to see your own gains it doesn’t matter as long as you do it the same way. But if you want to know how your doing compared to the others who post BP you need to do it as they have all agreed, which is standing and keep your penis 90 degrees from your body. I know that sitting down can add like 1/4” to your measurement, so that’s why I always do it standing cause I want to do it the way everyone else does.

Thats why I like to do it sitting down! ;)

But lying down I get the same as I do standing up; probably because there’s no extra pressure exerted on the underside of my cock (bulb? below the balls) when I’m standing or lying, but there is when I’m sitting, as that squashes everything up towards the penis.

Gman,

I’m exactly the reverse of you. But I guess the best advice is that you have to choose one way and stick with it, so there is some consistency in your measurements. I do mine lying down, since that is when I have my fullest woodies, and that is when I get my longest flaccid stretches. Why short change yourself? But then it also makes sense to follow the prescription of the other members, although I’m not sure there is a uniform position for measuring here.

Well I’ve never tried measuring while laying down, now I’m curious.

But I wouldn’t call it short changing myself, because if everyone else is standing up and measuring then they are having the same conditions as me.

Really! Its measures longer when sitting as opposed to standing? I didn’t know that.

Yep, try it out and measure both ways, you’ll see.
