Where to measure BP

I’ve noticed if I measure above my penis, I hit ‘something’ it feels thick, I think it’s the thickness of my fat pad. I can move it by pulling abdomen skin up so I don’t like to measure there. I like to measure right next to my penis, parallel to it, feels like it goes right to bone. But whats the proper way?

I don’t think it matters as long as you consistently measure from the same spot in order to track your growth.

Good point, but I’d like to know my true BP.

Top is consider norm. If you measure to the side, you get about half an inch more (more or less).

I guess you just have to move your abdomen skin up, although I’m not 100% sure what problem you are encountering.

Most measure BPEL from the top that gives a ‘standard’ measurement which can be judged against other . So you know how you compare with others .

I made the mistake of measuring from the side, so cannot really compare my measurements with other members except by noting the difference between side and top mesurements which is about ½ inch in my case

I personally have never really understood why you would even care about a bone pressed measurement, except to claim fame to additional length. If it isn’t viewable under normal circumstance then it is for not.

I liken it, in my opinion, to a fat guy saying he has six pack abs. We may all have a degree of abdominal muscle, but if it’s hidden under ample layers of fat then you damn sure can’t make the claim that you have a six pack! Besides, lets be reasonable here, are you ever going to be 0% fat pad? NO. Just my .02.

I guess if it makes a person feel better then to each their own. I’m sure I’ll get some flames on this post, but remember, it’s just my opinion. We are all entitled to that, if nothing else.

I have 2 reasons for measuring BP. First of all that length doesn’t vary with my body fat percentage and second, I can use more than my nbpel while having sex (I can push it in farther if you know what I mean) - pressing PB to PB.

Yes, I know what you mean. Like I said, to each his own.

Yeah I seem to get the idea there is a half inch difference from parallel to above/perpendicular. But measuring from above the penis there seems to be something there that I hit that I don’t hit on parallel. Is that the bone? Or a condensed portion of fat?

And besides most people see your penis from a side or below angle not from a top down angle. So it’s worthy to say that top measurement is what you’ll see. And a side measurement is what others will see. What does it matter how far the penis goes into the vagina, as it’s size is it’s size.

Does anyone know the average fatpad depth/size?

Reason I ask: I am way overweight and because I am on a diet, my fatpad will decrease-I just want to have an idea how much?

The difference between my NBPEL and my BPEL is around 1.5” (slightly more )

Me too. I am just a hair under 7” BP and about 5.5” NBP.

Glad it’s not just me!

Measuring at twelve o clock on the top of my pecker, I hit ligament and not bone. Refresh9, that may be what you are hitting. However , measuring at one o clock, I hit the pubic bone and the difference is about an eight to a fourth inch inch in difference. I like to measure at one o clock because I hit the pubic bone. A good carpenters extension rule is another good tool to measure with. It is easy to hit the bone because it is smaller in width than a ruler and much more user freindly to measure with. It’s easier to hold all that folded extension with your hand while you can unfold enough to measure with. Just my thoughts. I believe what your are hitting is ligament.

When you say you are measuring parallel, are you measuring at three o clock? We all should be longer measuring that way.

Just out of curiosity, are you overweight reggib?
If so, by how much?

I am, and I’m hoping that this is the cause of me being robbed of 1.5”!

The BP length is the most abused measurement in all of science, the margin for error is +/- 1.5”. If you want to do it properly you should take a cylinder, like a toilet tissue roll or saran wrap roll and make a metric along the side and slip it over your penis, at a perpendicular to your body press lightly inward and compute your size.

Bone pressed measurements make sense because different guys have differing fat pad thicknesses. Mine is about.0.5” or so.

I prefer nbp measurements because that is the length that is seen when I drop my pants. I can tell somebody that my dick is 7.25” but that would be a half inch overestimation in my oppinion.

Measuring bone pressed from the side is even worse.. I’ve seen guys do this, and I guess it makes them feel better. But in the end, you arent measuring properly.
