BP vs not BP

Could someone explain what the deal is with bone pressed vs not bone pressed? I’ve read on some sites that studies use bone pressed measurements, and on other sites that the correct way to measure is to measure to the skin junction.

I mean, when I hear average flaccid length is 3-4”, and I’m 5” BP but 3.75 not BP, it makes it pretty impossible to compare myself.

This is an often debated subject.

How to measure

Debating over bpel, nbpel, etc…

Note: I have done a search, but the comments on surveys/BP/NBP/averages weren’t very conclusive.

Use bone pressed all the time. Measuring NBP means that you’re taking into account the size of your ‘fat pad’, or pubic mound. This is bound to change over the weeks, and will give false readings of gains/loss. Your pelvic bone stays where it is, so measure relative to that to track gains. Of course, you might want to measure NBP to work out how much of your penis is actually insertable, but that’s up to you.

Yeah.. I realise BP is more accurate and that’s what I use to measure changes, but.. I don’t know if I’m average, below average, or above average.

“Of course, you might want to measure NBP to work out how much of your penis is actually insertable, but that’s up to you.”

i tend to think ‘insertable penis’ is some way between bp and nbp, with a nice grind goin :p

I agree about the measuring.

Hey guys,

How ‘bout giving us your locations?

Nobody’s going to hunt you down by giving us your state/country! :)

Will do Nos.

Average is often quoted as between 5.8” and 6.3” (erect). These measurements are most likely taken NBP (I believe that’s the consensus among forums), but since the reports don’t say, it’s hard to tell. At a push, consider 6” average. If you’re within half an inch either way, then you’re still close to average. Once you get to 7”, it’s big :)

Over on https://www.erectionphotos.com they mention size surveys. The 2 best recent surveys he said were average 5.07" and 4.9" these were both NBP. The 4.9" was actually NBP SFL of 3300 Italian soldiers, 2 other recent English surveys were just over 5" too. They said there was a direct correlation between size and weight i.e. fat guys were smaller because of the fat pad. The old surveys are very flawed, guys meausring themselves and only big guys taking part etc.
