Hey guys. So, I measured today and got my normal 6.75 inches in BPEL when I was at my hardest. BUT, I noticed that if I turned the ruler 90 degrees (along the axis that, when i turn it, i see the THIN side of the ruler) that my BPEL is BARELY reaching 6.25 inches in length. Guys what does this mean? Does this really mean my real BPEL is only 6.25? Because seriously NO ONE else ive EVER seen on this forum measures the SECOND way I just described. They always measure in the FIRST way I described and take their length measurements from that. . . But still. . .Please guys let me know. Im about to go off the deep end

I measure the second way. I too lost about 1/4" or 1/2" off of my measurement. I think it's a more realistic representation and there's much less possibility for error using that measurement, but I agree that it's not a very fun measurement.

keido. So is this suggesting that I really am NOT 6.75?? Because if i pressed the ruler that far down and then follow up with a infger next to the bottom of the ruler when its that deep, i feel that its hard. . .so that must be my penis right?

Also, do u thik i should start measuring like this?

And are u only suggesting that i SHOULD start to measure like this so that I will never make an error and have more precise measurements?

Lastly, If i lose the gigantic fat pad i have, do you think ill be able to measure the SECOND way and get my (hopefully) true measurement of 6.75??

Please answer all of this. (not tryin to sound like a selfish prik but im just freaking petrified

I actually measure the second way described with the ruler going vertical. It's much more reliable. The numbers aren't as good, yes.

As I work further and further into my PE career, I am really trying very hard to not think about the numbers. I am trying to think about one thing - progress. Progress is what I measure for now. So, you want to find a consistent and repeatable way to measure, regardless of what the numbers read.

I would also suggest JonPop's dowel rod method. I use this and then measure the dowel rod.


Plus, the second way of measuring is closer to a NBPEL, which in my opinion is the true image of your size.

So, concentrate on seeing progress and not only worry about actual numbers

You are 6.75" if you measure with the traditional bone pressed measurement. You are 6.25" with the new measurement. What difference does this really make? Your penis hasn't changed in size - the method of measuring has. I think that this secondary measurement is probably best, but keep in mind that most PE'ers do the first measurement - therefore if they measured the second way they'd also likely lose 1/4" or 1/2" off of their measurement. This isn't anything to worry about, you're not "smaller" then you were before. Also, the "average size" penis studies and things of the sort also measure in the traditional bone pressed way, so if you want an "ego" boost go with the traditional BP measurement; if you want more reliable, consistent measurements go with the secondary way of measuring.

Also, do u thik i should start measuring like this?

I have switched to this method because I think it's more accurate and reliable.

And are u only suggesting that i SHOULD start to measure like this so that I will never make an error and have more precise measurements?

This is my recommendation, yes. Best you find this now rather than years down the road of your PE career, like I did.

Lastly, If i lose the gigantic fat pad i have, do you think ill be able to measure the SECOND way and get my (hopefully) true measurement of 6.75??

Fat pad shouldn't make any difference in this measurement, in the same way that it doesn't change the normal bone pressed measurement. If you're not pressing into the fat pad with this new measurement then you're measuring a non-bone pressed measurement, which isn't the same.

Don't worry about it.

How 'bout you just to stop giving a inanimate object so much power over your feelings? Put the ruler down and LIVE, Ok? Thank You.

This is why i think side measurements are more accurate. if it 85 degree or 90 degrees or 95 degrees, who cares, ruler bone pressed measurements are bogus anyway. As soon as you push a ruler into your fat pad your penis begins to shrink. And the longer you hold the ruler there the smaler your wood gets. Better to use a 1/8 dow. Less traumatic to tissue. This way you can quickly measure off with a marker then measure the dow with a ruler.

With the state of things on Wall Street these days, I bet anything you measure against a Dow will look quite gigantic.

Yeah, there you go! I bet everytime you measure your shlong your about a half inch smaller than you really are.

is it really true though tht you lose that much wood (shrinkage pretty much) when you go to measure? Because when I wan my biggest measurement, I pull back the fat pad a bit to get as close to the top of the base as possible, and i apply a bit of pressure to the top of the base. This seems to allow me to achieve my hardest erection (gets REALLYvainy and stuff and I can feel the growing pressure when i do this). So after I apply that pressure, i (think) im getting as hard as i can and immediately after im as hard as possible, i slip the ruler there and even sometimes will get ione notch above 6.75 inches in length. . . .Anyway, if im doing all that, do you truly think im losing size as soon as the ruler meets it? Thanks everyone, you're all always a help

I think so, something less traumatizing like a dow rod i think would record more accurate measurement.You can be rock hard and still lose some.

I start measuring the same way last time, and report no gain. Have read how keido measure, if that's the measurement I'll stick with it to avoid illusion gain.^^ If you have measured the same procedure like before your gains are true, that what matters in PE monitoring the gains.

Good to know we can still rely on you to look on the bright side of things, WMP

OK, kind of off subject here. What is a dow rod?

Hey here goes2000, welcome to the PE Gym. Here's a tip on the best trick to keep track of your measurements. Good Luck.

O.K. Here is a tip that I've posted several times in different threads.
Go to a hobby shop, a hardware store, anywhere where you can purchase a round, 3/8" dowel. Mine is 30" long. Press the end of the round dowel into the hollow just at the top of your shaft, against the pubic bone. When you are fully erected, take a fine tipped felt marking pen and mark at the very tip of your penis on the dowel. Very carefully draw the line all around the dowel. Measure from the end you pressed into the pubic bone to the mark and this will give you a true and accurate Bone Pressed measurement. Just measure from the end of the dowel to the mark. The reason I kept the 30" length is because it is easy to work with and easy to keep track of. (I just stand mine up in the corner by the toilet) This will give you a permanent record of your gains. When I first started PE. I used this way of measuring and have marks in 1/4" increments from 4 3/4" up to and including 8 3/4". This was my last mark. I am not hitting that mark now, but I did at one time. I call this "Tool" my 'story pole', as this is a way to refer back to your progress. I look at this 'stick' and am amazed at how far I've come. Try this. This is almost like keeping a journal. JP

Hope this help. Thanks JP
