Tape Measuring Question

I’ll make this short and simple. I have a high erection angle and an upward curve. When I use tape to measure, should I press it along the shaft and with the curve until it drapes over the head? Or should I straighten out the tape as if it were a ruler? When I do it the first way, I get a BPEL of 6.5, but the second way yields a 6. Which would be the correct way for someone like me?

I have always press it along the shaft. Gives a much more accurate measurement for those who have a curve imo.

Yes, you have a dilema and your physiology actually fits into two possible scenarios: 1) chord length, or 2) running length, the chord length will be shorter but technically you can use the running length to report your material (penis) length, so use the higher number.

Ok thanks guys. I get to put myself in the slightly above average category now haha

How you measure depends a lot on what you are measuring for; with what intent, for what purpose.

Perhaps more important than the actual number, for PE purposes, is to measure in a way that gives you consistent results, so that you can accurately gauge your progress.

good call lampwick. I may just measure and record both ways for further evidence of gains.

I to have a curved penis and I measure both. This way you know for sure if you’ve grown because you have 2 sets of measurements.

Make your words mine. :)

P.S.: I have the same problem for I have the same type of penis you described; I can get 3 different measurements BUT, if you’re really concerned about the “real” value to show other people, I would say measure it laying down pressing your penis forward till it get perpendicular to your body.

Well according to some logic I’d say measuring it with straight tape is like measusing orthogonal projection of it. If you follow the curve with tape, you’ll get real, physical length. But yes, you should find a way that lets you precisely keep track of progress.

I have a girth measuring question about the tape. When I’m measuring girth my penis is biggest at the base at around 6.25+ and it tapers down to about 5.875-6.0 at the head and midshaft. So when measuring at the base the top part of the measuring tape doesn’t touch my penis but all of the bottom part of the tape is around my penis snugly. This happens because of the difference in the thickness from the base up. Does it matter if the top end is touching the penis or not? Even though the inch side is not touching it is still perfectly parallel so when it overlaps it doesn’t cross.

Incase of confusion the “top part” of the measuring tape is the “inch side” which I measure by.

Nevermind I found a solution.
