Bone-Pressed not Bone-Pressed

They may not have heard the TERM bone-pressed, but you can bet your ass even an uninformed guy is going to instinctively give himself every advantage and benefit of the doubt when his ego is at stake; especially if he plans on quoting his size to some girl he’s trying to impress. Subconsciously or not, pressure is going to be exerted. I just don’t see any guy unfamiliar with PE gently resting a ruler against his base and rounding down to get the most conservative measure. It just aint gonna happen! Hell, half the guys are probably measuring from the side or bottom.

When I asked a few of the lads how they measured there dick all said that they have in the past just placed a ruler along the top and measures from the base to the end. And these are guy’s who are unfamiliar with PE so there go’s your ‘it just ain’t gonna happen’ right out the window.

Very few that are unfamiliar with PE know what Bone-Pressed is, I had never heard of it untill I discovered P.E and I consider my self to be very worldly and knowledgeable. I can garentee you that when the people that are doing the size surveys when asking for bone pressed they will get a hell of allot of the candidates asking them what Bone-Pressed means and how to do it.

My point is that you don’t have to know what it’s called to just instinctively exert pressure at the base whether you are even thinking much about it or not. I’m assuming that you just asked them how they did it, rather than witnessing them actually perform the measurement—two different things entirely. I also assume that none of these guys were planning on quoting their size to any women.

Its not hard to understand buddy they got the ruler and measured from the base to the end and when asked if they pushed in to there pubic bone there reply was fuck that.

I see your point bro and I hope you can see mine after repeating it.

I understand that you think that if you stood outside a public restroom and handed out rulers and porno mags to guys saying “I’m doing a study, and I’ll pay you $100 if you lock yourself in one of those private stalls and use these provided materials to measure your erection and report back to me” that most would measure by gently resting the ruler along the top of their penis. Hey, you’re entitled to that opinion, I just strongly disagree with it.

I guess we just have vastly different views of human nature. I think the fact that every single study where guys were allowed to self-measure without being explicitly instructed whether to bone-press or not yielded results ½ to ¾” greater than physician measured studies backs up my theory that most guys will instinctively bone press unless explicitly told not to.

Yeah but don’t forget, Mush, that in the doc/nurse-measured studies the dudes probably didn’t have level-10 erections… I know I could never get to that point in the presence of someone measuring me. So in self-reports, you have exaggeration, and in doc-reports, you have wimpy boners. And in both you have the problem of a self-selected sample of participants. Oh well. Keep growing.

While i’m not taking anyone’s side, and at the risk of adding ‘fuel to the fire’, i took a BPEL 20 years ago when i was 13.

I had obviously never heard of PE. But as i was trying to BALANCE a ruler on top of my dick, while not being delicate enough, i noticed that the skin at the base gave with a little pressure. So i pressed a little harder, on purpose, and noticed that i had a longer measurement.

And, at that time, i had an erection that was at about 10 o’clock to 10:30. So if i would have bent my erection parallel to the floor, would have got an even longer measurement. But my upturned erections were so rigid then, that i don’t think that i could have bent it to parallel.

Just my personal experience for whatever value it has.

Helluvastud,

Yeah, isn’t it amazing how there hasn’t been a single decent study conducted on penis size? That’s why we’re continually having these debates. I don’t expect perfection, by any means, but every single study I’ve seen has had multiple serious flaws.

Internet Studies:

-Skewed Sample (Internet only sample, and mostly guys searching on “penis.” Guy’s engaging in PE are far more likely than average to discover and participate in these studies, and above average guys, in general, are more likely to submit their sizes.
-Ambiguous Directions (I’ve never seen it CLEARLY, and unmistakably spelled out whether to BP or not)
-No standardized measuring equipment (Everyone uses whatever ruler they have handy, and for girth some use a tailor’s, tape, some use dental floes, inc.)
-Most studies don’t specify the degree of precision to measure to, or which way to round
-No way to verify that participants aren’t fudging their measurements
-No way to keep people from entering fake data in order to purposely ruin the study
-Many participants vote multiple times, because, believe it or not, some of these studies actually make you vote in order to check the current results, and make you vote again every time you want to re-check the numbers.

Physician (or other trained staff) Measured Studies:

-Weak erections (stressful environment not conducive to achieving maximum erection)
-Inadequate sample sizes
-Failure to fully disclose study methodology
-Skewed sample; especially in the case of using volunteer spring participants (The better endowed guys would more likely to participate)
-Intoxication effecting erection quality (again in the case of spring break studies)

One physician measured study did use chemically induced erections (injected directly into the penis or genital region) so he could measure quality erections. I think this was a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, he used a super small sample, and didn’t fully disclose his methodology.

Some organization needs to conduct a study using a large, RANDOM sample, physician measured study of chemically induced BP erections. They need to do everything in their power to unsure that an extremely high percentage of the participants selected at random actually participate so as not to get a disproportionate number of people confident in their size participating. This is usually done by offering holdouts increasingly higher amounts of money to participate until a sufficient percentage of those randomly selected report. I swear that none of the people doing any of the penis size studies I’ve seen have the faintest clue about how to conduct a high quality survey.

Unless the nurses were hot, naked, and prepped you with a hand job :D And yes, they’d have to keep some hot male studs around to measure the gay guys too. In the best case scenario they’d have a line of different female/male nurses each study participant could choose from. I think they’d have a high degree of participation in such a study. :)

I imagine that the people with left or right curved dick would be using tape measure, along the outside curve. With a tape measure I assume it’s a bit difficult to do a bone pressed measurements.

We are not talking scientific studies hear we are talking about the average everyday guy. You are stating every single study has been measure Bone-Pressed all that I can say to that is bullshit, and to prove my point have a good look at this site. It was a study done by the Penny-cook Incomd Clinic back in 2002 where men where allowed to self-measure and 87% measure none bone-pressed with the ruler provided.

I’m certain that the avarage guy who knows nothing about penis size surveys nor PE, will probably measure in a way that is somewhere right in between his BP and NBP measurement, pressing in only a little. I mean, what does a 0.25” difference do for a regular joe who’s not obsessed by gains and measurements, if he’s to round up his numbers anyway?
