Correct measurement - Do you straighten your dick?

Hello everyone,

I mentioned this briefly in another post and just mentioned it to Steelfire in his thread at “Member pics”.

When measuring, I always thought that the correct way to meausure BPEL was to stick the ruler in the fat pad and straighten the penis without pulling it out?

If not straightening my penis, I definitely lose 0,2” or so.

What is correct?

Please give me some good news:D

There is no correct way, do whatever way yields the most consistent measures.

Yeah, it really dosnt matter. This is one of the reasons many people use measuring tape.

Yeah if you use measuring tape, you won’t have to worry about any measurement issues due to your curve (or whatever it may be).

PLUS, when you use measuring tape and you have a curve you will have higher (and more consistent) measurements. Good for bragging rights. ;)

I don’t gain the extra 0.3” by straighten it out. I keep the curve as is, knowing that I have extra size from that what is strictly declared.

I just pay attention being consistent by measuring with the same way every time. That is really bone pressed, and standing up. I have noticed that sitting on a chair and pulling the dick out, gives me another 0.1-0.2”, which is also not fair. I prefer having the most strict measurements. If I do anything else, I thing that I am fooling myself. Consider that during a sex session our penises are about 80-90% erect at all time averagely, so, measuring at 100% erection is already cheating.

Why cheat more?

Sitting down or lying on my front is the only way I can get a 100% erection and it’s pretty awkward to measure lying down. We aren’t fooling ourselves by measuring 100% erect Axrhstos, it’s just the full capacity of our dicks and keeping it reliable.

As for measuring curves, Yes definitely use a soft measuring tape so you do get an accurate picture of your whole length but it can hurt to push that metal edge of the tape into your fat pad for BPEL so be careful.

I don’t know about you but I’m almost always at 95%+ during sex ( I am 22) also why is it fooling yourself when your gonna lie about it anyways haha chicks don’t know dick about dick. I feel the most accurate way to measure with my curve is to use a tape just my opinion.

Yeah I agree with GTO2010…I am 23 and I cannot remember a time (if there ever was one) when my erections were not incredibly 100% rock solid when I was having sex. I guess everyone is different though.

Yes I too measure at 80-90% erection instead of 100% to always ensure the strictest measurements.

Wait…

The correct way is not getting hung up on random numbers (say, 8” BPEL) and instead use measuring as a tool to track your gains. As long as you measure the same way every time and you’re growing who cares?

I’ve said this before and I’ll keep on repeating it, PE is too hung up on numbers for most people, especially random numbers that have no real “meaning”. 8”x6” is the perfect penis size? Where did that come from?

I have a nice curve to the right, and while the tape measure may be the solution for some, I prefer to simply straighten and measure with the ruler. It’s hard enough to snap the shot while measuring and maintaining the proper erection. To me the ruler + straightening is just easier, for pictures and for recording progress. As long as you adhere to the same methods then you can still accurately track your progress. Maybe you should try both and see which yields the most consistently accurate results.

I always straighten out my curve, otherwise I would measure the air between the glans and base and not the length of my dick :) .

I don’t straighten it out because I can’t (when it’s rock hard I have a feeling any kind of bending, even the slightest, would hurt). If I lose 0.1” or 0.2” that way, even better, at least I’ll know my penis is actually even a bit longer than what I measured. :)

I guess, everyone has his own method. Consistency is the key, just to make sure that every time we are measuring the same thing.

To GTO2010 and skeebo: I am slightly jealous that you can keep an erection at more than 95% for 2 or more consecutive hours. My sex routine, of multiple dry orgasms cannot be done with that erection level. Same for anyone that does that.
