True Length

I have a 10 degree erection level so therefore by upper shaft is very short, so what would be the best way to get my true size for bone pressed, to measure from the top or the side?

From the top. If anything bend your erection out straight, it should give a more accurate measure.

I agree with aom91, that if you measure on the top of the penis you’ll have a better measurement.

Thanks, anymore suggestions

So is it legitimate to “straighten” out your dick to measure from the top?

I would think so. Even though your penis might have a curve I’m sure it doesn’t stay completely curved as it enters the orifice of choice.

That is the only way to have the measurement to be the correct length.

Dustpan,

You’re gains are incredible. Did you stick with manual stretches and jelqs to get those measurements? Other than that I can see your biggest factor was time. Way to go.

You know, they make thin flexible tape measures that can be used to measure a curve.

I really think that those whose penises (like mine) have a high angle will get a shorter length measurement than someone whose penis is straight or even has a downward curve.
When I have a 100% erection, there is NO WAY that I can straighten it out without pain or injury. It angles upward and even curves upward which does shorten the measured length. My measured size is just under 7” long x 7.5” around. (I do get a 7” measurement when my weight is lower).

My wife has a dildo that is exactly 8” x 6”. It is floppy and looks like an 8” flaccid. It looks enormous to me.
However, one time I bent it upwards to match my erection angle and even put it next to my erection. Guess what? It looked almost EXACTLY the same length as my erection. I even measured it in the upwards “banana” shape and it measured just a little over 7”. From the balls on the bottom to the top it measured 8.5”.
When I measure mine on the bottom where the balls start, I also measure 8.5”.

I’m not saying I’m going to claim 8” measurements. I’m not. However, I do believe that erection angle DOES skew length measurements. I really believe that a person with a high angle might have as large a penis as one whose penis curves downward like a banana (like some porn stars) but get a lower length measurement.
My opinion.

Dustpan, how did you gain so much girth?

I started out with the normal routine as a newbie, and stuck to it for the amounted time. Then I sarted with a hanging routine along with Jelqing and stretching. When I would do the jelqing I would do it while I was flaccid instead of being 60-70 % erect, I think that this might have given me the good girth gains. As far as the length gains I kept increasing the hanging weight until I was hanging with 75 lbs from the hanger that I had made for myself. Time, patients and dedication has a lot to do with your goal that you have for youself. I still have a little bit more to get to the 8.00” length.

I wish that everyone measured themselves genuinely and accurately in the first instances - standing, with ruler resting on the top of the penis. How many people here actually implement this? Not many I’d hazard. Sitting and measuring with the ruler placed on the top on the penis can attribute anything up to 3/4 of an inch in phony penis length.
It’s an unspoken fraud that flourishes even on a PE website.. Utter shit.

Can anyone inform me of the criteria needed so I can start my own threads.

Read the f.a.q.

The point of members posting their sizes is to be able to accurately track their progress, and to offer some perspective to other members. This isn’t a contest, no prizes are awarded (not even a cup of coffee, or a complimentary tube of K-Y).

Variations in measuring techniques is not “fraudulent.” What is fraudulent - or, “utter shit”, as you’ve said - is when people knowingly misrepresent their measurements (sometimes even resorting to Photoshop).
