Discrepancy between seated erect measurements and standing erect measurements

[goldmember]

Does anyone know why a standing erect measurement is always 0.25" shorter than a seated measurement? I have several hypotheses, but I'd like to hear what you guys think....go ahead, try it out for yourself if you haven't already.

I see it also ... is it something to do with a lig or tendon that flexes when we change those positions?

Kinda feel like something moves into place and makes it seem shorter.

And if I lie down with a full erection and push my dick down to a horizontal position so that it is sticking straight out, the difference is much greater. Figure it out. I can't.

When you are seated the pelvic floor muscles are relaxed as the body is not holding the same weight as you are when standing. This flex, for most guys, will reduce their measurement. My suggestion, measure sitting down I will take any bit I can

This sounds plausible...does anyone else have an alternative suggestion? I tried measuring on my back like 11x7 said, and I noticed that the lying measure and the seated measure were the same. It's only reduced while standing.

Hmmmm ... I don't measure often, but when I do it is -always- standing.

SWEET ..... I may have just grown a 1/4 inch!!!!! rofl

I think I was going to post something very similar, I think the highest measurements range from morning wood with your back against the board, and sitting off your bed, then standing( which for me I lose like a inch easly), and then last getting head in the drivers seat of a car, cuz theirs not much room to open your legs, and sometimes you can't even bring your pants to your ankles comfortably. I think getting head in the back seat of a car with both seats moved foward and what not with you in the middle and the girl just chillen over your lap will probably bring the most impressive angle and fell for optimum length.

Yeah I always hate that, I;m pretty sure that if a good testlicle health message is incorporated in routines that the "sac" wouldn't ride so far up the shaft when standing making the appearance that you just lost(and for me) and inch or so.

Yeah, but I am looking more for responses like DLD's, although you don't necessarily have to agree with his. I really am not sure...

I just found out today that when you flex your butt cheeks, you add about a quearter inch....same principle/reason?

Hey Gmember, have you increased your bpsfl since beginning of April yet?
I usually get about a 1/4 erect length for every 1/2" bpsfl gained.

Its funny, I loose exactly .25 in length when measuring standing up too. Makes me wonder about measurements people say in general and how much we deviate from another. Someones 6.5 might really be 6.25 or even 6.75. The world may never know.

You know I tried this today---and you are right! I measure about 7.25" when I am seated---almost in a semi-reclined position---but when I stood up it was only 7" I guess the weight of your mid-section requires the ligaments of the penis to retract because of the weight of the internal organs---instead of them resting on your lower back area they now rest further down toward your bladder/prostrate.

Just my observation and 2 cents
