Concerning Measuring Dick's with Curves.

Well as you may be aware if you have an upward or downward curve you’re supposed to measure it using a soft tape basically. Now the thing I’ve been pondering or well considered is. My curve is an upwards one, if I measure front on bone pressed it’s around 7. If I measure my dick from the back to exactly the same point (Not cheating and going further down near my balls) it’s actually longer simply because of the outer curve. I think my CS chamber/Ridge on the back is pretty big. Well it doesn’t seem entirely fair that you can’t measure it this way and claim a bigger size. Should you be able too or would most people consider it cheating. For people who don’t really understand what I mean. Have a look at a banana. If you measure the inwards curve it’s like half an inch to an inch smaller than the outwards way. To back up why I think using the measurement of outer curve should be used is because men with a curve bending downwards, well that’s their biggest measurement, if they were to measure behind it would be a smaller curve so you’d get a smaller measurement.

Do I have a point here? I know it’s not relevant in gains so to speak but I would like to know exactly how big I am comparatively with others. I’m still undecided so thought I would bring this up. It might be the fact I have a big CS chamber(Ridge) which creates the curve and extra length. So the CS chamber may in fact be longer than the CC’s across the same distance which creates the half inch or so extra length.

I understand. I don’t think it’s cheating. If you would like to claim the length of the curve, then do it (its not wrong), its not cheating.

I am glad to hear this. I just gained without doing a thing! I have an upward curve and have been using a straight ruler.

I thought you measure across the top either way to track your progress, and it is the most consistent way to do so. Especially when we are constantly looking for those small gains month to month, don’t want to measure wrong and then think you gained a lot to just be frustrated a month later thinking you lost it.

Yeah I already said about that. I asked a different question.

This is exactly what I mean!! He said this in the thread below. I have the exact same thing and it’s really hard to say. I would like to know myself how long I am.

Measuring Curved Penis

Ahhh so I’ve read all the posts in those thread marinera and this is the best answer I can derive from them. Would others agree with this also?

Reviving this thread as I just had the epiphany to measure my dick with a tailor tape following the curve from the top, and then from the bottom side (balls not pushed to tip). Quite a different number story.

Tailor tape, top side 5.5” NBPEL
Tailor tape, bottom side: 7 “NBPEL (not pushing into the balls)

Well 7” NBPEL is really of my liking, but would it be an accurate measurement ? Not sure an average of the top and bottom sides is more accurate either, as the bottom 7” still get used during sex.
BPEL is hard to calculate with a tape and not sure how it plays out with the bottom side.

You can see my pic below (pumped and cockring).

What would you guys say I can claim length-wise mathematically ? I know it’s a futile question, but I’ve been having body dismorphia for quite a while about my dick which i find small so I’d take the ego boost, if it’s accurate.

Top is correct, bottom is wrong. Your curve is not that bad. Have you tried straightening against a ruler, without cock ring? Yes all of the bottom goes in, but only the same amount as the top. Physically impossible otherwise.

How is measuring the bottom wrong ? I certainly not measure farther than my cockring on this picture, in order words, i stop measuring the bottom parralel to where the top ends.

How is the inside curve of a banana the ring length measurement in comparison to its longer end ?

The way i interpret the geometric figure of my dick is, if it was to be straigthened out to be all parrallel to the floor, then the bottom side would be the farthest and be usable. As in, i think i have a somewhat bent rectangular trapezoid shape.

If you are trying to measure the maximum amount for bragging rights or other reasons, then measuring at the bottom is fine.

If you are trying to measure for PE purposes you want consistency and repeatability. Cock rings ride back and forth a bit but it may give you a consistent enough endpoint. The obvious consistent endpoint is the pubic bone, which is only available on the top and sides and curves back on the sides, so the top offset from the center is the best place. In PE, for BPEL, we care about change in length not in absolute length, that’s how we measure gains. We aren’t trying to measure changes in curve or different placement of cock rings.

But you’ve been around a while, you know all this (the explanation is for people who don’t) and you’re choosing to measure on the bottom. I presume you’ve experimented enough to know whether you are getting consistent day to day measurements and whether the measurement is showing your gains.

I’m talking about measuring for bragging rights here, indeed. But i don’t want to invent numbers either so i was curious as to what is top usable length i can record and use in the Calcsd penis size calculator.

About how best to record gains, i agree with your approach, although its hard to bury a tailor tape to the pubic bone, so i’m thinking of measuring from fat pad to pubic bone with a ruler and using the tape for the rest.

I was measuring gains with a ruler before, but its not optimal because of the curve, so a 1 cm gain would not appear as 1 cm on the ruler but it would on the tape.

Just had this realization yesterday about the tape. I’d really like the thought of my bottom curve measurement (not farther than parallel to the fat pad) being valid for an ego boost, but don’t want to be deluded either.

People measure all ways for bragging rights: to the side, underneath, sitting, within a couple of days of PE, beyond the balls….whatever makes it longer. I remember one guy doing a triple handed pic to show his ‘immense’ size, where his hand had a thumb looped over the base and the fingers back towards the balls and then he had another hand pulling hard on the glans and his gfs hand in the middle. Of course the pic of this was from underneath. That was super funny. You need to be maybe 6-7” to pull that off depending on hand sizes.

For PE, it’s worth using a ruler, pressing in to the fat and pushing the penis to the ruler, imo. Much less chance of measuring the curve and getting a repeatable length. Even if you are measuring just slightly off 100% erection to be able to push to the ruler but most people can bend to a ruler whatever erection level they are. Tailor’s tape is really hard to get repeatable measures for length and really easy for girth. Much better to do a BPFSL measurement if you can’t use a ruler when erect.

3 hands is nothing. 5 hands is where it’s at… :-)

Seriously though, i get your points regarding PE measurements. Still, I would have liked to know whether or not my unit is small objectively. I guess I’ve become obsessive.
