how exactly to measure like the famous penis studies? position and kegel?

[wakingdream]

So I've been told to take a length measurement in whatever position I am longest, and I know that will help to ensure consistent measurements, but I'm also curious what the official way is, i.e. the ways the famous penis studys did. I've read that those studies like the Kinsley and Lifestyle condoms ones were done standing up? But I think standing would give really inaccurate measurements depending on the guy's posture. I can appear to stand in the same position but just move my hips slightly and get an extra 1/2 inch, or suck in my stomach and lose a 1/2 inch. Also, were the guys allowed to kegel in those studies? because that can give me an extra 3/4" sometimes.

If those guys in the famous studies were standing, and I'm sitting and going for my longest measurement (which can be an inch longer than when I'm standing), I feel like I might be cheating if I'm comparing myself to the charts. Guess I'd like to know exactly how I compare with those studies by measuring like they did. Thanks

You locate a spot on your pelvic bone that is easily found again. You press a ruler into that point against the bone and take your measurement. You should note also how far the ruler digs in so you get an idea of how deep the layer of fat is too.

This is the most accurate way to measure and it's referred to as "Bone Pressed" or "BP".

thanks, but apparently you did not read my question. sorry, I didnt ask how to do bone pressed. I asked about positions, kegels, and the penis studies like Kinsley and Lifestyle condoms

Most dont mention kegels and what position but those are good solid questions and make a difference. Pretty certain no kegels would have been done but positions could be anything from sat down to stood up but I ASSUME they mostly stand.

It makes me wonder if a guy being measured in one of those studies, who knew info like we know, could go into the measuring room and stand in front of the nurse with his hips pushed a bit forward and a hard kegel.... and he would be measured at an inch longer than the same size guy who didn't know and would walk in there and just stand normally in front of the nurse.

A kegel usually makes my penis slightly smaller?

that is interesting! i guess i'm lucky cause kegeling brings down the base of my penis and exposes a little more length, plus fills up my head with more blood which gives me a little more length too

I guess I skipped that because who cares how a study performs it? Why become obsessed about something that doesn't matter? If you don't like the size of yours make it bigger, if you like it the way it is, leave it alone.

But for the record most real studies measure when standing up, penis perpendicular to the floor and from the pelvis bone right above the penis.

I care, and I'm sure alot of other people do... Redzulu also agreed they were good solid questions. And who said I was obsessed?

If you don't like the size of yours make it bigger, if you like it the way it is, leave it alone.

.... of course I want to make it bigger otherwise I wouldn't be on this site....?

There is information all over this website on the penis studies and measuring, in fact it's one of the first things DLD talks about to newbies. Seeing and understanding average sizes can really give alot of guys a big confidence boost. I just wanted to measure like they do to give myself the closest possible comparison.

Anyway, then I guess I would be that guy who would get measured for a penis survey and stick out my pelvis a bit and kegel, and boom I'm 3/4" bigger :s
