The "how To Measure Your Penis" Guide

[masonjames]

A slimmer man will have more usable dick than a fat man with the same length penis. However the fatter man still has that much penis. Just not usable so maybe it should be call usable and non usable length.
When a man is measured for a penile prosthesis they use bone pressed or the implant would be to short to fill the cavity. My point is that the penis is still there just shortened by the fat pad.
I don't think everyone will ever agree

 

[dickapick]

I believe in a cience context they usually suggest tape rulers to take the curve into account correctly (#banana dick question above). That banana lenght would simply not be counted in correctly with a hard "horizontal" ruler!

So according to you a banana dick pointing up is shorter than the exact same banana dick that is pointing down? How is this correct?

 

[dickapick]

I think measuring stretched length is the way to avoid discussions on dick shape. However, you then will get a bone pressed measurement and in some cases there is quite a difference in length. In my case my bpel is 2 cm shorter than my stretched length

I suggest that if you measure the banana along the upper outside line (which represents the "total insertable lenght") you will receive a larger measurement than if you measure the banana from above with a fix ruler as suggested in the measuring class pictures above.

Therefore, the real lenght of any banana and any erected cock (regardless if pointing up or down) should be measured with a tape ruler from the pubic bone base all the way to the tip of the glans as suggested in my picture here:

In science they usually measure the "dorsal side" of the penis, so the upper side, no matter what kind of curve one has.

I don't think everyone will ever agree

Good point about the fat pad and i guess you are right, there will never be an agreement - and you know what?

it's totally fine, no hole (or mouth) ever measured if those last few hidden inches count or not, as long as it feels good in such fine hole, all is good

 

[BigAssDude]

Nonsense. The majority of studies measured fsel. The studies that measured erect length either used bp or nbp depending on the data needed. And it's a 50:50 at best when it comes to bpel vs nbpel in clinical studies, rather skewed towards nbpel. Your wording ("probably") shows that you obviously didn't read the methodology part of the dozens of clinical studies that were done around the globe.

Sorry, seems like you are the one spitting nonsense. Those studies just didn't point out if the patient wasn't alowed to thrust or not, so one should only assume they didn't thrust. I have read them, seems like you didn't (and if so, I'd love you to show me a study that said "no thrusting was allowed"). There are way more BPEL studies than NBPEL. By the way, since you pointed out flaccid stretched measurements - most of them were conducted bone pressed. You can use this as a reference -
calcSD - The calcSD Global Average (v4)
This study (published in Nature, hope that's good enough of an impact factor for you) suggested using bone pressed measurements as the standard after looking at a lot of other studies - Penile size in adult men—recommendations for clinical and research measurements | International Journal of Impotence Research
Really don't understand why it's that complex. People have fat pads. Some have bigger fat pads, some have smaller ones. The "true" size is bone pressed. That's the least biased measurement.

My stretched flaccid length is shorter that my erect length, so that isn't always valid.

2 cm?! You must either have a curve or not be getting as hard as you could. Have you tried viagra/Cialis/etc? You might be surprised how big you are after.

Must be embarassing to not realize that your own cited source proves you wrong. Actually both of your sources prove you wrong.
You claimed BP was the standard. Greenstein et al. prove you wrong. ("We did not find definitive evidence favoring one measuring method over the other." - Oh wait.. that's what I said)
You claim BPFSEL is the standard. CalcSD proves you wrong. More studies have data on NBPFSEL.
Come again when you actually know what you're talking about. Won't waste my time on you if you spout nonsense.

Well. At least it looks and feels hard when I measure. Maybe I really get bigger during sex while I always assumed that was simply perception. I blame the fact I am a grower with quite a bit of girth for my longer stretched length. For some reason I have never pulled out a ruler during sex. And no, I have never tried any viagra/ Cialis (don’t even know what that is) or anything else

 

[dickapick]

It is valid that there is ‘a difference’. In my case longer, in your case shorter. So difference is the keyword here. Just like any other measurement technique. So indeed we will never agree, but still can enjoy discussing

I’m an EXTREME grower in length & girth & mine are 100% equal. I have to get so hard my skin almost hurts it’s so tight though (think right before cumming).

1. Can you count? Because I'm pretty sure 16897 people are more than 7712... Which means of course that the bone-pressed method has a higher power (a statistical term, look it up if you need help) and is probably (!) more credible.
2. Umm... No. Did you read the whole study? They point out to the problem of not having a standardized method of measuring throughout all studies, even though most studies use bone pressed measurements (as pointed out by the link in CalcSD....), and they suggest their own method that they view as the most accurate and standardized, which is........... Bone pressed! They even point out that everyone who deviate from their method should explain it - "We found that the use of several measurement methods could, consequently, affect the reliability of the reported penile size", "Deviation from these recommendations should be explained".
And also, you could try a little modesty. It seems you are very passionate but also seems you didn't read the literature.

By "more credible" I mean that it is probably more accurate as a method of comparing.
Also, I'll point it out again - calling bone pressed measurements "nonsense" is nonsense.

What the fuck are you even talking about. The number of subjects does not matter at all. It's the number of studies conducted when you want to talk about standards.
Furthermore CalcSD is no scientific source. Their demand that scientists should explain why they do not use the CalcSD method is fucking hilarious. Studies always gather the data they need. Average penis size is kinda never the aim of a study.
Your links totally contradict your initial claims whether you wanna admit it or not. It's obvious that you have no real clue. Enough time wasted on you.

By "more credible" I mean that it is probably more accurate as a method of comparing. One study with a billion subjects doesn't outweigh 10 studies with 100 subjects when it comes to a standard in methodology.
Also, I'll point it out again - calling bone pressed measurements "nonsense" is nonsense.

I said that calling BP the standard in science is nonsense. Gosh, don't put words in my mouth. Your claim was wrong. End of story.

And don't bother, I won't argue against your crap anymore. My time is too precious for that.

 

[heyarnold123]

coming soon...
spoiler alert: measuring along the outside curve ist not the right way

You would have to measure the outside curve because, if something is wrapping around the penis, technically the outer curve length is always being used.

In science they usually measure the "dorsal side" of the penis, so the upper side, no matter what kind of curve one has.

Actually many studies completely exclude curved ones altogether. Most likely because they have to measure them completely differently.

Oh, god.
I wish you a lot of luck (you'll need it) in whatever field you'll try to be in.
Also, again - can you count? 23 studies of Bone pressed stretched length vs 16 studies of non-bone pressed stretched length. 14 studies of BPEL vs 9 of NBPEL. Seriously, use your "precious time" to learn how to count.
About CalcSD - they just created a comfortable table to summarize most studies, of course they're not a scientific source, no one said that.
Have a good one.

 

[Motion-of-the-Ocean]

Meh...I alone measure my my junk in inches.

 

[dickapick]

You would have to measure the outside curve because, if something is wrapping around the penis, technically the outer curve length is always being used.

And the inner curve length too ..

Technically when you push something in you go only 1 direction, forward. So only the length pointing into that direction counts to measure the depth you reach

+1 for only measuring with a straight (hard) ruler. Also for a curved penis

 

[SirJizzAlot]

All the people worrying about the length of a dick or how you measure it are usually the smaller ones...who cares.

 

[deleted969111]

I prefer my wife using her hands to measure. The results are always very pleasing. Lol
