Let's start with acronym definitions for anyone who may stumble on this thread and not know:
BPEL: Bone Pressed Erect Length - This is a penis size measurement where you take a ruler and press it into the skin at the base of the penis until it hits a hard stop on your pelvic bone. It is the accepted standard length measurement as it eliminates different aspects of variation and subjectivity.
My beef with BPEL is that even a physically fit person with 8-15% bodyfat probably has as much as 0.25" of "length" between the surface of their skin and where the pelvic bone stops the ruler.
Many people include the "fat pad" in their signature, as a way to mitigate or at least shed light on this simple truth. The truth seems to me that anyone is going to have at LEAST 0.125" and on average probably 0.25" of "fat pad" for lack of a better term.
Does this mean that us PE'ers are stroking our ego when it comes to measuring? Would it be reasonable to institute a standard 1/4" reduction in BPEL across the board?
I feel like I'm lying to myself when I take a measurement of BPEL. It seems to me that your length is what you can "use" inside a woman - and she can't SEE or FEEL the "extra" length between the skin and pubic bone.
I'm interested to hear others opinions on this. Would a better standardized measurement be "Bone Pressed Adjusted Erect Length" BPAEL - or something similar where you subtract what you feel is a reasonable skin thickness from the BPEL?
