![]() ![]() While your penis may be thickest under the pubic fat pad, there's no way to reliably measure that. Tailor's tape or a paper strip, that's it. Also don't use anything thick like a charging cord, even if flexible, as it will skew your number when straightened back out. That's your girth.ĭon't use a string, rubber band, or other elastic material for your measurement the stretch may underestimate your girth. Tighten it to where it is snug enough not to freely move, but not so tight that it is compressing your penis. Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your shaft.Have a tailor's tape measure or a narrow strip of paper nearby. Then average those two numbers (add them, then divide by two) to get your mid-line length that should be very close to what you'd get straightened. Measure along the outside of your curve and then the inside, making sure to start both measurements at the same point as you would bone-pressed. This exercise isn't about claiming the biggest number possible. If your penis is so curved that you are unable to straighten it, don't just measure in a straight line from base to tip, and don't just drape a tape measure over your curve. A flexible fabric tailor's tape is also a great and cheap tool to have on hand. They're cheap and super useful all around the house. Standing normalizes those factors across the board.ĭon't have a ruler? Go buy one. Different postures can positively and negatively affect the actual and apparent size of your erection by changing the localized blood pressure and hip position. Standing, like bone-pressing along the top, sets a common standard. Measuring just the exposed shaft is called the "non-bone-pressed erect length". Fat is highly compressible, so unless you're obese you'll still be able to use most of your penis during intercourse. Pressing to the pubic bone is known as the "bone-pressed erect length" (BPEL, or just BP). Measuring to the side or from underneath is not valid, no matter how much more length you feel you should be allowed to claim. The pubic bone directly above the penis is the most forward-projecting part of the bone and a solid depth limiter for many sex positions. Measuring along the top and pressed to the pubic bone provides a common point of reference for comparison and controls for factors that only affect the visible size of the penis but not the actual length, like excess body fat. Why is it done this way? This is how penis length is scientifically measured, and the only valid way to measure for comparison to penis size charts and statistical tools like CalcSD. ![]()
