Going crazy! Need a GOOD measuring method!

Hi guys.

Lately I´ve been obsessed with measuring methods, or rather their lack of consistancy. There´s not a single point between my knees and my navel that hasn´t been bonepressed and I still haven´t found a way to measure the length of my dick that I think is good enough. The fluctuations are driving me crazy: sitting, standing, point of bone preassure, degree of force, measuring objects - gah! I always come up with different numbers no matter which method I try.

Someone, please, help me out on this. If you have a really good measuring method that you are absolutely sure doesn´t allow any fluctuations, please post it here. It doesn´t matter how crazy it is, just as long as it is a dead sure way to monitor progress.

I don’t know if this is as good as a technique you want it to be but it works for me. I use a clear plastic ruler. I have put a cloth pad on the end of the ruler with a rubber band for padding. You can hold the ruler on top of the shaft and look thru it to see the closest mark while you are pressing the ruler. I also use a cock ring to maintain a strong erection during measuring. I feel that it is important to get a blue steel erection and kegal or “cheat” as much as you can during measuring so that you cann’t “cheat” later and convince yourself that you have had a gain just by “cheating” harder. This makes it very accurate for me at least, oh and I also use mm instead of inches. I always measure SO standing. It helps to do everything the same each time you measure.

I use a plastic ruler. Standing up, I align the left edge with the centerline of my dick and press my dick down to horizontal. The plastic ruler serves as a strain gauge: I press in hard until the ruler starts to bend (damn hard!), then ease off until it barely straightens out.

As interesting2001 said, always record the absolute max measurement you can muster. I don’t mean round up, but if you can reach the next mark by kegeling, wiggling the ruler, sacrificing a chicken, whatever…do it. I record my measurements without a cock ring, but I also keep an eye on my numbers with a ring.

Another thing, measure often. The practice will make you more consistent.

If you can´t find a good bone pressed measuring point, then try this technique. It won´t give you an accurate length, but it should give you a consistent one, so gains can still be measured.

Stand straight, get an erection, take ruler and hold so that it is paralell to the ground, turn ruler 90 degrees, press ruler into the area to the right (for example) of your penis, into the ligament of the leg of the chosen side (in this case right).

I have found this is the only way I can measure gains in fsl.

That´s a hard to follow description, but basically I´m talking about the crook between the penis / balls and your thigh. It´s unchanging for me, and if you stand perfect straight then it works well (for me at least).

A clear ruler will help.

Thanks for replying guys, some good stuff there that I never thought of, the cloth padded ruler and the point of frequent measuring for instance. ICM, I don´t quite understand your description - are you talking about the angle between the penis head and thigh/hip?

One importanant question to everyone reading this: When measuring on the top side of the shaft, where exactly do you press the ruler? Do you press it snug to the point of exit, where dick meets body or do you press it further up, a bit above the root?

sizemoore,
I use a penis pump with a graduated (in mm) cylinder. I use an automotive quality hand vaccum pump. The error is +/- .5 mm. I just angle the cylinder around and record the largest measurement I see. I have noticed that I get some variability depending on the routine I do right before measuring. When I first started using it I was saying ok, if I ever measure beyond 16.5 mm then I will believe this stuff works. That was 3 months ago and now I am at 17.5 cm. So see is believing but I wish it didn’t consume so much time. I started using the BibHanger about 2 months ago. I think that until recently I was not tightening it up enough. Read, read, and when you think you know it all, read it again.

Good luck all

Whoops, I meant 16.5 cm not 16.5 mm :)

>Do you press it snug to the point of exit, where dick meets body or do you press it further up, a bit above the root?

Up a little bit. I can move it around a little and not get any variation in measurement as long as I don’t go super low. Try to press it against the same place on the pubic bone every time.

I´m meaning measure from the point in between the top of your thigh and your dick, as in the crook there, where there should just be a hard ligament that you can press on.

Sorry if this is a little unclear!

Thanks for the replies. I think I have solved the measuring problem. Check out the thread “A very good measuring method”.

Take care,

Iv only skimed through this thread so i hope i havnt repeated anything.

Measuring is and should be very easy, this is what you do.
For length the best thing to do is get one of them steal rulers, place it on top of your dick, push it into your body so that it hits your pubic bone(point where you can no longer push back) and take the measurement from the tip of your glans.If you have got a normal ruler(wood or plastic) take a measurement the same way write it down then take a felt pen an mark a line from the beginning of the ruler to the point where the measurement starts(0 point,so what your marking is the length of no reading at the beginning of the ruler ).Then take your ruler and measure the length of the marking you just made and subtract it from your first measurement.
Make sure to be standing with a full erection, jerk off to some porn if you have to.

Isn’t strength of erection also a problem. If I’m taking time etc. To get really really excited I get an extra .5 cm easily.

Just do it bone pressed from the top and make sure you do it the same way every time doing it the same way each time is the most important thing.

It’s funny how there really is so many variables to just getting a consitent measurement erect or flaccid. It can make measuring quite hard for me at times, but I usually find the measuring conversation and thought kinda boring. ;) It is most definitly a very important aspect of PE to get good at though, since depending on how often you measure can tell you what types of PE are currently working for you and what is not…
