Okay I'll clarify again that I don't agree nor disagree with either method, just trying to figure out which is more accurate, if there are mistakes to be made between one extra step then what is it? Just curious cause it was pretty simple the few times I tried it, you guys should seriously just try it then draw your conclusions.
But either way if you stick to the same method of measurement you will still be able to track your progress and gains.
I hear you, Jaronimo. But you brought up this subject and wanted to have some opinions on it so I responded
Strapping a thread in an even line around your dick and additionally marking the exact point where both ends intersect
and staying erect at the same time doesn't seem easy to me. It's difficult enough (at least for me) to strap the tailor tape around your dick in a correct way (i.e. in an even line and with the right amount of force, that is: not too tight or too loose which also applies to the thread method).
Unless someone comes up with a real argument that would make an empirical test reasonable I won't spend my time with trying it because drawing conclusions from empirical data only makes sense if you have a hypothesis to verify or falsify. Then again for a hypothesis you need at least one substantial argument.
With data only there's no conclusion to be drawn except the one you've already drawn: that (at least in your case who doesn't seem to find it hard to measure that way) it is a reliable method which proves to produce the same results in multiple evaluations. So one could argue that it's not worthless because - as you correctly stated - you're able to measure progress with it. But this observation doesn't tell us anything about the validity of the data with respect to the variable we're trying to determine as precise as possible (girth). And furthermore it still is (as easy as you consider it to be) not as easy as measuring with a tape. So unless you don't have a tape I don't see any reason to track your progress with this method. ok, it may give you a psychological boost since you seem to get bigger numbers with it, but else?
@Android: yes, indeed I am. If this overall too annoying just give me a heads up. I'm just convinced that the power of the better argument should be a discussion standard in forums, too. Sometimes I might go overboard with this (considering the context), just be a bit indulgent with me then. It's some sort of occupational illness
