I don't get my measurement results at all

Hi I hope some of the experienced guys can pick up on this thread, I have been doing PE for about a year now, and up until now I have always measured standing up, but just the other day I measured when I was sitting don’t ask me why I did it I just did.

But now I am really confused about what my actual size is, when standing I am six and a quarter inches bone pressed, but sitting down I am just over six and a half I just don’t get it I know the advice was to stick to the same measuring formula all the time, but I just tried something different and now I am really confused, I just don’t get it what is my actual size.

Standing is your true lenght. As for me, I’m the same either sitting or standing.

Some people measure sitting from the side to gain the maximum measurement. In the end this is about penis enlargement and as long as you measure consistently you won’t go wrong.

Personally I measured standing up, from the top, with the ruler angled horizontally out and close to vertical in it’s width (to prevent it digging under the pubic bone). It gave me good accuracy.

Same here.

Hi thanks for the info guys, but on the forum there is a few guys who have sent in pictures that have been sitting down measuring themselves, now I am not knocking anybody here but this doesn’t seem to be a very accurate way of measuring,spiking1 you say you get the same when you are standing or sitting, how do you do it do you sit up straight and then measure, and that gives you an accurate reading, the reason I am saying this is if you sit and you tilt your pelvis forward slightly, then you instantly become bigger, and if you tilt back you become smaller.

Could someone maybe explain the physics of this, so I could maybe understand what is going, can you push harder into your fat pad when you are sitting or is it what I said you are altering the angle of your pelvic bone, and does this mean when you are having sex when sitting down, your partner is getting more length.

So this is just idle curiosity asking?

I get more girth sitting, not length. Standing and laying erection measure the same. It is kinetics! Amen! Can I get an amen brotha!

I think it all depends on your favorite position. If you like standing up and being behind your partner, then that’s your true length. If you like being on bottom, then measure sitting down. If you like being on top, you get the point. Just make sure you stay consistent with your measurements.

I take measurements from various positions and angles to get a sense of overall growth. The gold standard is standing with the unit pushed down to horizontal and the ruler pressed into the pubic bone directly above the unit. However, it is incredibly difficult to capture this photographically. :) Sitting does give an extra 1/8-to 1/4 inch. But the real point is to track gains, which should be consistent from every angle.

If by “actual size” you mean what you could claim or think to yourself, you might think of it as an average range. Like say you get a seated BPEL measurement of 6.875 and a standing measurement of 6.75; and a sitting NBPL of 6.6 and a standing NBPL of 6.4. I think you’d be well justified in considering yourself a solid 6.5. Usable dick does vary with position as much a measurement, as jb pointed out.

Amazing!

Did you measure the time it took you to do all that? :)

I have some of them on speed dial. (:

This is like a bad radio show. When the DJ or DJ’S are just pricks and dog on everyone that calls in. If someone wants to ask a questions, let him ask it! If someone is kind enough to answer, let him answer! Why not? I know there is a search feature, but he IS a newbie. And lets face it, posting a question can be the easiest and most time saving way to get your answer.

Westla’s answer was useful and informative in a couple of ways. It provided ample reading material relevant to the OP while giving an example of why the search function is more often than not the easiest and quickest way to get an answer to your question.

Who’s stopping anyone from giving an answer?

Being introduced to the search feature is one of the greatest gifts a newbie can receive. :)

Rarely. And what about the precious time of the people who have to answer the questions over and over again? Providing examples of the search function in action is both teaching a man to fish and providing the best (already given) answers without having to retype them.

And if there’s something to add to the discussion, one of the pre-existing threads is generally the best place to do it, for similar reasons. ;)
