Standardised measuring how to:

Guys

Reading through the posts and sooo much controversy re measuring like the HH thread (poor guy) why can’t we standardise measuring beyond what we have now ?

Far be it for me to suggest to the mods to post more detailed standard measuring but I think it would clear a lot of things up, it would be ‘Thunders approved measurement’ or T.A.M

I’m an engineer and I have the following observations

1 BPEL (bone pressed erect length)

The 2 big variables left here are, angle and measuring device, they can easily make the difference of a whole 1” !, suggest the following:
Lets measure from the top, not the side..
I would suggest a ruler, as this is a depth measure not a tape (hehe)
The angle of measuring is also hugely important, I can pick up an easy 1/2” by just going from 90 degrees to say 110 degrees pointing downward
For my measurements I use a ruler and 90degrees though I do press the slight bend flat

2 BPFL (bone pressed flaccid length)

The big difference here is weather you measure @ 90 degrees to the bod or hanging, again their is 1/2” or more of difference, also whether it’s a ruler or tape

For this one I would say hanging as that is the natural state (and what other see) on the question of ruler or tape I would again say ruler

3 erect and flaccid girth
This one is really easy, measure the fattest part of your main shaft, not the base ! The base to me seems like a cheat especially if you have a cone dick ! (With all due respect to cone dicks)

All of the above only matters when comparing your pecker to see how you stand, important ? Hell yes ! Lets admit it, of you knew the rest of the world had 2” peckers would you p.e. ? Thought not..

All the other mini measurements, head, base etc we really only care for ourselves individually, and for that it doesn’t matter to standardise because as long as you always do it the same way thats all that counts

Comments ?

It makes sense to standardize the angle, the measuring device, and where you measure from. I agree totally.

Someone needs to produce and market a “penis measuring tool” or T.A.M device, that includes some instructions :)

Those people who know that they cheat a little on measurements are only cheating themselves!!

All good points. More importantly, though, for those engaged in a PE regimen is to measure consistently. This is the only way you’ll be able to accurately chart progress.

Great post pabs. After a month of PE, I learned I measured 1/4” longer if I pressed my dick against the ruler to account for a slight curve in my dick. I also think haha and brianrex make valid points regarding cheating on measurements and measuring consistently. PE is about SELF improvement. This is not a contest with other members.

Yeah measuring consistently is what matters. You will get different measurements each time if you don’t.

Okay pabs. I’m a technician. And, as we know, we technicians fix engineers’ mistakes. :D

I to agree that there should be a standard. Doing a web check I found that there is NO penis measuring device that is specifically meant to measure penis length. I also hate acronyms. From the pictures you can also see that some guys take great liberties with the ruler. You feel like saying, “Yeah, you have 8 inches but you are measuring from your asshole!”

Therefore, I have some preliminary plans to make a measuring device which would be accurate and all measurements would be created (or taken) equally.
I would submit the prototype to Thunder for inspection and approval.

Basically it would be a pubic pad plate with a 2” dia. opening. On the opposite side of the base plate would be a 12” long trough. The trough would be graduated with in./cm. The thickness of the baseplate would be considered. For use the penis would be inserted into the hole of the base plate and placed in the trough. The man would be in a standing position. He would put the end of the of the trough that is furthest from him against a wall or door casing and push. He could use the thumb and index finger to hold an erection in position if needed.

With this device, everyone, would have to use the thing in the same manner. No cheating. Whatever you got through the hole would be you dick. No questions about.

Any questions or comments before I start making one of these?

Ah, necessity is the mother of invention! I love it, man! When can I test it out?

I was planning on posting something like this to revise the process in measuring LOT. My revisions were going to be based on standardizing pelvis articulation, which can account for a whole “hour” difference LOT. I am guessing hip articulation might effect measurement as well, but probably not as much. I never really posted my findings because I thought it would go ignored. Perhaps not though. Great post Pabs.

Yeah, I bet I could get a raging boner to measure with that thing around my dick.

I didn’t know this was a contest. Just remember guys, someone will always have a bigger unit.

The real use for measuring is to monitor progress, Right?

Observation: sitting as opposed to standing adds about a half inch to my measurement.

Yes,if you are in the practice of PE, I would think this device would be an accurate means of monitoring gains.

Hi

Monument, good ideas all but I don’t think it can be something that people have to own because then it just won’t happen, we need thunder approved measuring next to our stats to clear all the bs, and boy have we all seen a lot of measuring bs here !

It just has to be a standard procedure with standard stuff like a ruler, it would be great if it was specific guidelines and posted as a sticky by the mods

Also btw some erect peckers don’t fit through a 2” round opening ;)

Vegas guy: yup me too ! 1/4” more, but chicks dig the up curve !
Beowulf: well I suggest you sit down then hehe
Sheneedsmore: YES it’s a contest :) we are all totally obsessed with:
1 how big we are
2 how we measure up against others !

Let me ask what do you guys do:
Bpel, straight out @ 90 or bent down a little or a lot ?
Bpfl, straight out @ 90- or natural hang ?

Yeah but if you made a 3” hole and the trough 18” long it would intimidate too many guys and it wouldn’t be marketable. :D :D

All my measurements are done while laying on my bed with my cock pointed straight up (90 degrees) with the ruler resting on the highest point of my pubic bone. This happens to be on top of my cock, not along side of it. If I measure along side of it I measure longer and I feel like that’s fudging the numbers.
