Measuring: when and how?

**Ballooner** · 06-11-2014

So, I've noticed a variety of measuring techniques proposed on the forums, but haven't come across any discussion regarding when to measure. What I mean by this is that all levels of erections are not the same. What I find is that after 10-15 minutes of edging/ballooning my penis is able to eke out an extra .5-1 inch when really stretching and pushing as much blood into the head of the penis as possible.
After a good edging/ballooning session, it feels like the elasticity of my penis is at it's max level while still being fully erect. It's tough to explain, but if I get an insta-boner with no warm-up, the length and overall volume does not seem to be equal to what can be achieved after a good workout. I'm assuming this is common knowledge, but haven't read any discussions about it.
Also, I use tape to measure and find that there is not much difference between seated and standing BPEL assuming you start at the same place and don't cheat towards the belly button.

There are a few threads on this topic, I'm sure someone will link them (MrB8?

I reckon that as long as you measure the same way each time then you can track progress properly. I suspect that as your EQ improves there will be less difference between regular and post edging erection length so it won't matter so much which you choose.
