What is the point in BP measurements?

It baffles me, surely a woman can only feel the NBP size in her?

I only do measurements NBP.

Opinions?

In my opinion, bone press is important because when you have sex with a woman you are pressing hard enough to compact the fat pad, and actually give her more length. Sure you and everyone else ‘see’ NBP but when your pumping they can ‘feel’ more than what they ‘see’.

My two cents.

Bone pressed makes for a constant datum for everyone, eliminating the variation in fat pad effect.

It’s the non-bone pressed measurement that doesn’t make any sense. Your penis doesn’t really “shrink” when you gain weight or “grow” when you lose weight. Are all fat guys supposed to report that they have 2-4” dicks?

Thanks for the replies - at least it’s cleared it up for me :D

Yes. Unless they can get it inside a vagina / anus, it really is irrelevant, isn’t it? Do you think any woman sees a portly guy naked and says “It’s OK, I bet he has another 3 inches concealed under that roll.”

Face it, if it isn’t exposed it isn’t of much physical or psychological value.

Its common ground I guess but its a good point to remember though. NPB is more realistic

The fact that fat may cover some of the penis length does not make the actual penis length shorter… Bone pressed penis length is what the length of the penis actually is….

Bone pressed measurements are the most accurate way to gauge progress in PE. Weight change and/or pressing into the soft skin just a bit will throw your progress observations off. This is why bp is the way so many guys here measure. On the other hand, many of us do note our non bone pressed measurements also because this is what is seen.

It gives us something to argue about.

To sum it up in one word dude: consistency. BP measurments give us much much more consistent readings than do NBP which are subject to weight change. This means that when you gain, you’ll know because of BP. NBP might actually go down if you loose some weight, even though that dick really is still there.

BP makes me feel better. If someone asks me about my size, I’d tell BP measurement. If they act surprised later, well,
I’d tell them they had to be specific about what kind of measurement they had in mind :D

The idea behind the BP measurement is the same as that behind doing half reps in weightlifting-be it squating, bench pressing, whatever: it is to make you seem bigger than you are!

Its simple.

1. It removes the interference of weight gain or loss on PE gains. If you PE for 2 months and find you lost 1/2” NBP your data might lead you to believe PE caused a loss of length not reflect the reality of the situation. If you had measured BP the whole time you would have found you had actually gained 1/4”. It would cause too much chaos and misunderstanding when people report their measurements. If someone is a professional dieter their measurements would be boucing aroud all over the place.

2. It removes the fudge factor in measurements. Measuring BP makes it easier to measure the same way each time. If you measure NBP whats to prevent you from just pushing the ruler into you fat pad a tad making it seem like you gained more than you did? It is hard to replicate a NBP measurement the same way, and your mind will play tricks on you. You will wonder, now did I gain a bit or did I just push in the ruler into me a bit more this time. Over time you will almost certainly start pushing the ruler into your fat pad more just to “help out” your gains.

Oh yah, and we don’t measure BP thinking that it is more impressive or thinking that thats what women care about. We do it just because of the reasons above. Hopefully people aren’t delusioned into thinking women will take into accout your fattiness when sizing you up.

Very true. I call myself a 7” club member because of my bp, but actually to women I’m a 6er, and barely at that. :(
