How to Measure Your Penis

Where does erection strength come into the measuring process?

So I measured today. It measured out to about the same, if it didn’t have a slight left curve it would be right on the 6. But it didn’t stay there for long.
So almost 6.

I found that if I squeezed my muscles it could get a hair over.
Then I jerked it and measured immediately after ejaculating. Solid 6.25 for a minute or so.

So 5.9, 6 and 6.25. So in terms of recording potential growth and effective exercise, what is the functional length?

Where I get hung up is if there is such a wide variation in measurable length how do I distinguish growth?
If 5.9 is it’s “resting” measurement and I start getting to over 6, of I say “oh, I’ve grown!” Or is it just that I’m at the other half or the maximum 6.25? Is the post ejaculation measurement the only reliable metric? So I need to pass 6.25 to consider myself to have grown?

Then as far as future exercise goes. Is it like lifting that you don’t need to hit your max every time to gain mass? Or is it like stretching, that if you don’t go past your current limit you won’t affect any change?

Hi KrustyRusty,

For my measurements, I go with the highest measure. I try to make sure that I’m as aroused as possible (wife usually lends a hand but understand this isn’t an available method for all). I would to just be consistent. If you use and average now, then use an average every time. If you go with the highest measure, use that every time and so on. I would say you’re 6.25” as that’s the highest measure that you have. Length will change more depending on your arousal level, I’ve found the girth measurements are pretty much the same for me as long as I’m even semi-aroused.

How often do you measure? I’m only measuring once a month now. In the beginning I was measuring frequently and saw some of the issues you are discussing. There was a greater variation. Now I rest 2 days prior to measuring and have the wife give me a hand (actually a mouth) to make sure I’m at peak erection for my “official” measurements.

Hope that helps. Good luck on continuing your gains!

This is the first time since starting the newbie routine 3 weeks ago. I don’t really expect much change for a while, but I don’t know. Before that I measured like 15 years ago, 5.5 comes to memory. Probably not bone pressed but I was a hell of a lot leaner back then.
So I’m a bit longer now from then, I played around with a smattering of devices last year. But is it growth? Or just moving towards the potential that was already there?

So doing an average of aroused but not maxed makes sense to get a baseline. As far as trying to push beyond, if I reach 6.25 average arousal is that considered a gain? If it still doesn’t max over that is it not? Or if it makes it to 6.25 the it will definitely max out higher.

I realize that more is more. I’m just very analytical.

I asked her to help me measure when I started. We ended up arguing over proper technique.lol.

I consider any growth as a gain! If it’s that my dick now gets harder/existing potential (don’t think this is case for me as rock hard erections have never been an issue) or if it’s tissue remodeling into a larger cock, my wife still feels it either way, so I call it a gain. There are a couple of threads about what people consider a “gain” but if it shows up on the ruler or the tape, it’s a gain to me! Don’t really care where it came from.

I saw progress from the newbie routine in my first month and it was noticeable in the measurements. Everyone gains at a different rate so I feel lucky. 4 months in and I’m just mad at myself for not already being retired from PE from finding this site in my 20s. Will keep pressing on to my goal!

Apologies if this was already covered elsewhere, but this seems a good thread to add the topic to.

How do you measure BPFSL - right after exercise when it’s at peak, or cold when it’s at it’s shortest?

Of course consistency is important and the main thing, but when comparing it to BPEL, the difference is significant for me.

Why does it matter? If you read the thread TGC Theory, once you get over a .5” gap then it’s time to switch to a more girth-oriented routine.

For me, cold I’m 7.5” BPFSL and after several extender hours I’m 8” BPFSL. My BPEL under optimal conditions is 7.25” - so, I’m either .25” greater or .75” greater.

Thoughts?

The concepts in the TGC theory thread don’t align with the anatomy of the penis. It’s worth taking these kinds of things with a pinch of salt. Same goes for LOT. I realise these threads that purport to show a way forward that seems to be evidence based are interesting but as tends to happen people misunderstand how to read science and conjoin several disparate pieces into a narrative web that doesn’t really work.

If you take a measurement after a routine, you are measuring the results of that routine. That’s a useful metric. However, if you are attempting to measure to track progress it’s best to do it after a couple of days without PE to get a measurement for where you actually are.

Makes sense - thanks. Do you track “strain”, which as I understand it is the difference in BPFSL before training and after training. So, in my example it’s (7.5-8)/7.5 = .067. Not sure I have that right, but interested to hear if you think it’s of any value. Please feel free to tell me to use the search function.

I never did. I did note but not track post workout flaccid, taking it as an indication of routine efficacy. I’d put “strain”, as you term it, in the same box. It tells you what you did that day in comparison to the previous day. Obviously the more you can track the more you can understand from the data as long as you are getting sold measurements.

Very helpful.thanks!

Thank you

I’m trying to use the stat function, but can’t make out some of the abbreviations (I.e., not in the glossary).

What are:
BGFS

Thanks in advance!

Dunno, that one isn’t used. BGFG is behind glans flaccid girth. If you run your mouse over each abbreviation it should pop up the full title. These inputs are if you want them

BGFS was in the drop down portion of the Stats page, that’s why I asked. Perplexing….

The options don’t change and it’s not on the page. Maybe you combined a couple in your head. Either way the mouse over trick works. On mobile the terms expand if you touch them.

It was BSFG, I did jumble them. Ugh. Such a clod I am. Apologies!

With that, I do seem to be having trouble now ENTERING the data points. I enter the BPEL and MEG, then I hit Save and when I go back, nothing is there.

Now, I know my track record right now is incompetent (and “this guy may not do well following PE directions” - LOL), but there has to be some glitch, either with how data is entered, or from my mobile device.

Any help would be appreciated.
