A question about measuring cock length

[GuyFromEngland]

When you measure your dick do you measure from the very bottom or where the penis conects to the body (insertable length). Im just curious as many sites bullshit about measuring your entire cock from the bottom to the top is the correct method. This can't be right though as some the of the shaft at the bottom is only extra fat that can't be inserted during sex. I wish this was the case because I would be "6 rather than "5 in insertable length.

The correct method is the "Bone-Pressed Erect Length" - meauring from the pelvic bone to the tip of the penis. So you may be pushing it into some fat. It's for comparability not for determining what can go in.

[hugh g rection]

You measure from your torso out. If you measured from the back of the balls, that would add 1-2 inches and the average size would be like 7 or 8 inches.

Worked for Kinsey.

[Chino Cobain]

kinsey?

wasn't that by letting guys mark a postcard where the dick ended (starting from pelvicbone), and send it to him?

[Spike]

Yes.

The instructions were "Place cock on top of card and mark with pencil"

[GuyFromEngland]

Do you mean then that you measure from just above the balls? Because thats pretty much where the pubic bone starts. If thats the case then Im Just over "6 erect.

[MaxXx]

i think measuring from left or right side might also be more accurate...just an oppinion!!! :wink:

[wern]

OK Spike are you saying we should meaure from the bottom>>???

[Katsz]

Spike is saying the old Kinsey study was done with guys measuring from the underside. This study yielded an average length result of 6.4", which seemed high. You get a bit of bonus length by measuring that way.

We all should still measure BPEL from the top, because it's most consistent. As concerned as we are with overall length, what we're really interested in is gains.

[wern]

Actually I'm concerned with overall girth! :mrgreen

[MaxXx]

concerned to have more or 2 much??why would you be concerned ...not like you have 9 or 10"...

[OneMoreRep]

I'm not a fan of kinsey.. alot of senseless studies.

For instance his study on male and female "PRIME" was base on frequency of ejaculation....(INCLUDING MASTERBATION)

When a study was conducted it was found that a males test. doesn't peak until about 30, and then it plateaus; and from about 65 on it goes down slowly.

[OneMoreRep]

BTW i measure from the top, i thought that's was how you were supposed to?

[GuyFromEngland]

Hmm.. Im still confused is there an actual proper way to measure? How do the doctors do the measurements? :?

I'd prefer about an extra inch of girth although I'll welcome an extra half inch with open arms.

Well, if you measure from the top, your stomach is a handy beginning place, but if you measure from the underside how do you know where to stop?

[hugh g rection]

You measure from the top, pressed against your stomach. Otherwise you are not measuring insertable length ok? Don't bother trying to measure on the bottom, it is inaccurate and you won't have the same measurement each time.

You use the top, either push all the way into your pubic bone, or not at all, and record. Reliable and consistent.

I always measured from the bottom, from the tip right down up to my sphincter. That measurement yeilded me a nice 6" erect length penis.
That must be the correct method.

[Spike]

No I wasn't advocating measuring underneath, just commenting on Kinsey.

Here's a bloke showing you how to do it http://www.sizesurvey.com/erectech.html

[hugh g rection]

Thank you spike. :mrgreen

[Xisthreweyes]

You measure from the top, if you measured from the bottom it would totally change, I do it for fun sometimes and there has been times where I have measure 7.5 inches, that is a full inch bigger then my actual length. MEASURE FROM THE TOP.

really?
this is good news for me: i had always stressed that after 21 i was apparently not as fertile .
blah!
stupid mis-informed studies.
hmm, i ejaced earlier- at 19 i would average around 10-11 "shots" my best was like 16 shots.
i had about 9 today so thas not too bad i guess.
(i dont ejac often).

but yeah, you can disprove this study?
