Question regarding BPEL

I read a post that said to properly measure BPEL one must press the ruler hard into the pubic region just above the penis. Well just how hard am I suppose to press? I have been putting the ruler on my skin but not exactly “pressing down” with it. Does this mean that I am not measuring myself using the bone pressed method?

Also, the average penis size, I hear, is 6”, is that bone pressed or non-bone pressed?

You have been measuring NPEL. To get concistant BPEL measurments you should press as hard as you can. That way when you see
changes (gains hopefully) there wont be that doubt in your mind that maybe I just pressed harder this time.

As for the average size, it’s between 5 and 6. Whether that’s BP or NP nobody knows for sure. It’s probably around 5 NP or 6 BP.

You want to press in until you feel pressure on the pubic bone (hence "bone pressed.") The idea is to eliminate the variable of the fat pad as much as possible so you can track gains more accurately. So the way you’ve been measuring is NBP (non-bone pressed.)

As for the average size question, there’s some debate on this. I think a safe average fat pad would be .5 inches, and average NBP falls somewhere between 5 and 6 inches. So I tend to think an average BPEL of around 6" is a safe assumption.
