Hi. I have a question:

When do you do your measurements? It seems to me that there is a definite right answer to this and many potentially

wrong ones.

The whole point of PE is for PERMANENT gains. If you measure right after a PE session, you are measuring at a time

when of course you are inflated, which could look like gains but are really just swelling. So if I PE for my first week, then

measure right after my 5th session and see a 1/2 inch girth difference, I could then come on and say, "wow, this works,

I've gained 1/2 inch in my first week!"

To me, it would seem ideal to do an "official" measurement after a week or longer of deconditioning. But is anybody doing this? To measure while the penis is still in training results in false findings of growth, I am sure.

So when have you all been measuring?

Any other thoughts on this subject?

Damn good question. I measure about an hour or two after PE when I am edging. What exactly do you mean by deconditioning?

1st or second off day right before bed for me.

I measure before bed on a rest day... probably more frequently than I should, cause I notice it varies quite a bit. Some nights I'm 7 3/4", others I'm 8 1/4". Upon "shorter" measurements I get worried that I'm losing length... then I measure a couple days later and I'm back at 8 1/4".

Moral of the story: only mark your largest measurements, ignore the shorter ones.

I like Sacc's approach. I don't think it matters that much so long as if you get shorter measurements, which happens, it doesn't throw you into a tizzy. I use frequent measurements as a motivational device--I always have. Even if I measure right after a session, as opposed to after a day or two of rest, it all adds up to growth in the long run. So long as you keep your ultimate goal in mind and don't mind the daily, weekly and monthly variations, then measure as often as you like. That is my approach. (But be sure to measure exactly the same way as much as possible).
