Alright folks, let’s jump into today’s thing. Was curious, you know? Wanted to get a proper handle on… well, size. Seemed straightforward, turns out it wasn’t. Had no clue what the real way was until I actually dug into what doctors say.
Starting Off: The Messy Guesses
First attempt? Pure guesswork. Just eyeballed it in the shower, felt totally useless. Like trying to measure moving water. Zero consistency, felt awkward even to myself. Then figured, maybe lying down flat? Slightly better, but still felt kinda squishy and not right. Got frustrated. Needed something solid.
Time for the Hardware
Grabbed a ruler. The stiff, plastic kind from the junk drawer. Felt pretty clinical suddenly. Doctor talk mentions needing to be erect for a “stretched flaccid length”. Yeah, weird term. Means you gently pull it out straight when it’s soft.
- FIRST! Made sure it was soft. Important step, apparently.
- Gently pulled it straight out. Didn’t yank it, just a firm, gentle pull until it wouldn’t stretch more without hurting. You feel the limit.
- Placed the ruler firmly right against the pubic bone above it. Like really pushing into the fat pad above. That’s the point doctors measure from – bone press.
- Looked straight down the ruler to where the head ended. Took a breath, tried to be honest with myself about the number.
The “Erect” Situation
Okay, this part felt a bit… staged? But doctors say it’s necessary for full picture. Needed a proper erection. Took care of that privately.
- Standing up straight this time. Seems to be the standard position.
- Again, ruler pressed hard right into that pubic bone pad. Squished it down firm. That fat pad can hide some length, gotta push past it!
- Made sure the ruler was dead straight along the top side.
- Measured straight to the very tip of the head. Not the pee-hole, but the absolute furthest point.
- Did NOT measure around yet (girth). That’s a separate adventure.
What Actually Happened & the Takeaway
Using the pubic bone as the starting point? Game changer. Pushing in firmly? Makes a difference! Those initial guesstimates were way off because I wasn’t starting from the actual root point. Got significantly more consistent numbers both soft (stretched) and hard this way.
Whole process felt strangely precise and a bit silly, but also clear. The bone-press method cuts through the BS. No more guessing against the leg or whatever. Just ruler, bone, tip. Done. Found out my size, felt good knowing it was done right, not just some half-assed guess.
Honest verdict? Following the doc-approved bone press rule actually works. Gives you the real deal length. Takes the awkwardness out because you just focus on mechanics: bone, press hard, measure tip. Everything else? Probably wrong. Simple as that.
