Measure Accurately

Thought I would just post on how I meaure accurately...every time.

What I use is a clear plastic dinner knife (the kind you would get at a picnic). It is exactly 8 inches long, my NBPEL goal. It is thin, see through, easy to use, and will always be exactly 8 inches long. When erect, I lay the knife on the top of my penis and put a scratch on the knife exactly where my penis ends. The next time I measure I know EXACTLY where my last length was, and whether I have gained or not. It is so simple and extremely accurate. My knife now has 4 or 5 scratches on it documenting my growth!!

I started out using a clear ruler but the thin knife handle is a whole lot more comfortable to push into your pubic bone if you use BP measurements, and since it has no numbers/dashes on it my scratches (exact progress) are easy to see.

The only problem is what to do after 8"s?!! Maybe I will just keep using the same knife and not caring that my penis is longer than it, just looking back at all the scratches should make me giddy. Hope this helps some who have a hard time measuring......

Good luck!

As long as you are measuring the same way every time it doesn't really matter what you use or how you use it. I measure from the side, and have been doing that since day one.

Yah I agree NP, that is why i measure this way.

The reason I posted, was just to give an idea to people who have posted about having a tough time measuring properly and/or seeing results properly. By scratching/marking a solid obect that can lay flat on my penis I find that I get extremely acurate, indisputable evidence of whether I am gaining or not. I never have to worry about the actual measurements, I just need to see if my penis is longer than the last scratch. And by seeing all the old scratches it sure gives me great motivation.

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

That's awesome JP...I may change my knife over to a dowel. But I've grown attachd to that plastic picnic knife so it may be hard to do!.

After reading so many threads about numbers I guess I just came to the conclusion that the actual numbers didnt matter at all. What mattered to me was growth and progress. All that I really needed was something to establish a starting point and a way to track progress accurately.....hence the knife....and your dowel.

Just transfer the marks on your knife onto the dowel and go from there. (jP
