Measuring

I can’t seem to measure my NBP correctly because my unit does not go straight out; rather, my unit grows slightly upward. However, I don’t have that problem when measuring my BP— I guess because I’m pressing the ruler into my skin and that balances my unit. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you in advance.

The only purpose of measuring is to track growth. The only accurate way to track growth is to measure exactly the same way every time. The only way to measure the same way every time is to measure bone-pressed, ideally stood with your erection horizontal to the floor.

There is no point measuring NBP. It can never be a perfectly repeatable measurement. If you need a measurement to ‘tell other people :rolleyes: ’ anything will do.

I disagree with firegoat. I like to measure non-bonepressed, bone pressed and bone pressed flaccid stretch length. The first is the usable length anyway if you are doing anything with some thrusting since your fat pad will get compressed. That’s also why it’s the size I list when someone asks how big I am (unless I’m feeling irritated by size questions and then answer with a ridiculous range like “over 2” and less than 10”). The second size however is the visual size. By measuring that you get some gauge as to where you are showing. I like to do that with both flaccid and hard sizes so that I can gauge whether I’m over compressing the fat pad in the hard measurement. It also lets you track fat pad shrinkage as your weight changes. The last is important because it is the maximum length yoru dick will possibly get to at its current state. When that number plateaus you can see where your overall length size will be maxed out at.

I do agree with firegoat however that consistency is the real key above all other. Whether you are measuring from the side, top, bottom, et cetera, it’s all about repeatability month after month. Bone pressed is by far more reliable and consistent than non-pressed.

NBP does not always tell everything..

If somebody got 7 NBP 7.25 BPEL, it looks much shorter from the side and bottom than 7 NBP 8.5 BPEL.

Yep. Guess that could be useful if your weight changes often. Never thought of that angle. :)

I agree with what firegoat says, as long as you’re measuring in a consistent way and remembering or noting your measurements then thats fine.

I personally only measure BP, NBP and girth.

Non Bone Pressed is not a scientific PE measurement.

NBPEL measures your fat pad not your penis.

Your fat pad varies - did you eat a bag of salty chips? Why your fat pad is retaining water!

I’ve got both an upward and left curve. I straighten them out to measure BPEL. If you can’t do that with a ruler, try a tape measure.

Like Firegoat and others have said, the point of BPEL is to keep track of your gains. Just do it the same way every time and you will be great
