Poll: Do you measure sitting or standing

I personally have measured both ways, standing I am .2” shorter than sitting, but I’m not sure if I am measuring correctly

I voted sitting down. I will adhere to my measurements when standing up from now on. I now see that my measurement while sitting is a misconception. When I began PE I considered my starting length to be the largest measurement I could get without jamming the ruler into my fat pad. My starting length was 7.5 sitting and probably 7.2 standing, but I will never know.

Tonight (rest night) I measured my stretched out flaccid while standing and I got 7 inches NBP, and when sitting I measured a bit over 8 inches NBP. Note: I measured my penis while it was cold and flaccid. After reading this thread I wanted to see if there was a noticeable difference between measuring sitting or standing, and there is!

This probably means I have some lig gains I need to target. If there is a whole inch difference (while cold) between standing and sitting that could indicate my ligs are really tight.

I have not measured in since May, my first month, and I was shocked when I saw an 8 inch NBPFSL measurement. I was not expecting much of a difference to be honest, but it was a very nice surprise. Even though I was sitting down when I recorded 8 inches, it is something I had never done before prior to TP. If I am warmed up I can probably come close to 8 inches NBPFSL while standing. I am going to take accurate measurements of my NBPEL & NBPFSL, sitting and standing, at the end of the month to see how far I have come.

So is a mod gonna move this to main or what?

Thread moved :)

Muchas gracias!

The only way you will get a longer measurement if sitting down is if your pelvis tilts back while you measure. This is something almost all people will do, it’s natural. They try to get closer to the ruler, the arch their back and their pelvis tilts back. Therefore the pubic bone also tilts back= longer measurement.

I’ve never measured sitting down, but it makes me wonder - just how does it measure longer when sitting? Doesn’t seem to make sense…

I just explained why.

Standing up straight (no out-thrust hips)

Standing up straight.

“Official measurements” standing up, for checking progress I measure sitting down because it’s easier to be consistent.

Sitting, simply because that is how I measured the first time and I want to be consistent. However, I think sitting generally makes more sense as well — that is, I frequently have sex with someone sitting on my dick — almost never standing-up.

Sitting down, I always wank sitting down because it feels longer so measured that way too.

I measure standing, but I gain about .25 of an inch sitting. And generally I have sex in a position where I kind of kneel above the girl, so sitting may be more accurate actually.

Always standing up for me.

Sitting down my measurable length decreases dramatically.
