Length issue.

Hi. Just started jelqing a week ago.

When I measure my penis sitting down, I measure 5.5-6 inches in length. When I do it standing up, I measure about 6 inches. Does this make sense? I always assumed I was 5.5-6 inches. Which measurement should I take?

Thanks.

Edit to add: Another question I have. When jelqing, I start at the base with lower pressure and gradually increase until I reach the glans. I heard that a baseball shape is created, which is desirable. Is this a good or bad thing. Because I also read that it’s good to maintain a constant pressure when jelqing.

It doesn’t matter what position you’re measuring in, but just be consistant. Try to measure using exactly the same method every time you measure.

GM

Measure standing up, prefferably next to a mirror so you can look over and see if your ruler is really level. This should give you the longest possible measurement you get out of your penis, and that’s what you want.

And just to review: BPEL is Bone-Pressed Erect Length, so that means you press your ruler into the bone through the fat pad just over your penis.

NBP is Non-Bone-Pressed

F instead of E means flacid

As for the advice about jelquing. Most men are going for a relatively cylindrical penis, wheras you want a baseball bat. Thus the advice most men would give would be to keep constant pressure throughout the jelq. I haven’t heard of a way to get a baseball bat effect, but I’m not all-knowing, but I don’t know if that’d work or not, or even if you’re doing it right.

Huh? really? gee, I thought I was right there. I find I get the longest measurement standing up…

Keep a constant pressure while jelqing. It doesn’t matter which measuremnt you take, as long as you keep measuring that way. You want consistent results.

I get my longest BP when sitting. But I take standing up measurements.

I opened his question before anybody replied and ended up doing other things. Then answered his questions and its like the 5th post :(

^Do what GM said.

Take starting pics if you have a camera. Will help out later on (wish I would of done this!).

By doing jelqs you putting pressure into your glans, doesn’t mean you will get the baseball effect. Just stay consistant and keep up the hard work. :jelq: :thumbs:

I always keep constant pressure, I find it helps and I find I get pretty much the same measurements sitting as I do standing.. I don’t know why. I have a little bit of a baseball bat effect, not much just maybe 3/16” smaller at the base than the middle. It’s enough for me to notice, but most chicks wouldn’t. I am hoping to correct this and make it cylindrical. Does anyone know how? Thanks.

Thanks for all the help guys.

I’ll start jelqing with constant pressure from now on.

And I decided to measure standing up for self-esteem issues. :P

"Baseball bat"-like appearance

Just make sure you do it the same way every time so you can accurately measure gains.
