Measurement dilemma

[BoaConstrictor Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BoaConstrictor]

Ugh..so I guess I'm 0.2" bpel shorter than what I thought.

Let me explain..

When I do bpel I get 7.2"... But I am actually able to push down a heck of a lot harder all the way down to 7.4", if I try.
When I feel my pubic area, it seems that I am able to do this because perhaps my pubic bone curves like a sphere.
As upsetting as this may be, it still feels good to be in the 7 club.

Regardless, I think I'll be going off the lower measurement.

What do ya'll think?

find a spot and keep it consistant

Also agree! I used to measure in too many different spots/positions now i have a spot on my pubes i always use and push until i feel solid bone. Hence BP.

Yeah I plan on it, thanks..

But what do you think about being able to push deeper?
I feel like I'm pushing in the area where the penis comes out and below the bone.

I believe that is exactly correct Boa. Some have taken to the method of turning the ruler on its side for this very reason, although because of the pelvic bones curve, this gives an even more reduced measurement.

I agree with NCGUY, and think as long as you don't press too hard, and make sure you are on the bone, it will be fine.

Have the ruler rest ON the bone not below it, this way you can be consistent and realistic.

Thanks everyone..

I guess I got press happy and figured "hey,,you can't go deeper in bone right?" I now know the right area to measure and it looks as though my gains were less and less fast as I thought.

The pubic bone is not a uniform flat surface, turning the ruler on it's side will help you overcome this issue. Check out this thread:

Attention VETS! BPEL measuring...

Oh, and hell yea for the 7 inch club

Not necessarily true Boa, if you were measuring in the same place all those times. Your gains would still be the same, i.e. your 'correct' starting BPEL would be 6.7, according to the way you are going to be measuring now, hence, still gained half an inch

and it looks as though my gains were less and less fast as I thought.

Thanks Steneo.

No problem my friend, I'm hoping to join you in that 7 inch club by the end of the year

What's your stats Steneo?

I think I'm going to be a real slooooooow gainer after all, if at all.

Measuring length is one of the most inconsistent measurements for me. If I measure on the side (that is, about half an inch from touching my inner thigh) I get 6" NBPEL. If I measure on top, I can't get an accurate reading because my outer skin is not perpendicular, but has a curve. So if I measure at the bottom of the curve, I get 5.5." If I measure a bit on top of the curve about a quarter of an inch over the base of my shaft, I get 5.75." Anyone know what the accurate number would be?
