Why measure bone pressed?

[AverageSized]

Why do people measure like this?

I'm not trying to slight anyone, but does bone pressed really count?

I mean, if you have an inch of pubic fat, isn't this totally cheating?

Just curious.

A penis is what it is. Why would it be cheating? It's still mostly useable, even when covered with pubic fat...

Bone Pressed is the most accurate way to measure true progress as it eliminates all the variables non-bone pressed brings to the table. To track your progress, you want the truest measurement possible, and that is bone pressed.

That's what I'm questioning then ...
I mean, is bone pressed what is truly used during intercourse?

Or is that inch unfortunately ... or most of it, lost to fat.

Just curious... as I'm trying my hardest to lower the pubic fat to nil. Not that I have a ton of it ;)

A) NBP is just way too difficult to measure consistently.

B) Your Penis really doesn't "shrink" when you put on weight, as NBP measurements would lead you to believe.

C) I think it IS MOSTLY usable, so why not count it?

D) Everyone wants to take credit for as big a dick as they can, so you can rest assured that the numbers you are comparing to are BP (If not rounded up or measured from the bottom!), so why short-change yourself? Take the biggest HONEST measurement you can. Taking a BP measurement is NOT cheating. That portion under your fat pad really is a part of your penis.

The purpose of the measurement is key to the issue. As RB indicates, BP measurement is the most reliable means of measuring for progress of PE. However, if the purpose of measurement is for what shows when you take your pants off, NBP measurement is more appropriate.

Which is why I feel that NBP is the more appropriate measurement. I don't believe in counting hidden dick. When a person sees your penis, he/she sees your external penis. You are not going to bone press your penis into everything. I want 9 inches of visable penis.

Around here, everyone measures BP..so you have to offer your measurement in that manner.

I think both ways have their value.
btw If you got a 9" nbp dick now and gain 100# measure again, do you think you lost 2.5" and are now only 7.5"?
Do you think it vanished? I suspect that about 1/2 of the covered dick is usable due to the very compressable nature of pubic pad fat. So of my 7.5" I can sink about 6.75" I figure. If i lost weight and had only a 1/2" fat pad I think I could bury maybe 7.25" .

RB, Mushroom, and Charlie are all correct.

The most consistent way to measure gains (but not necessarily total size) is to take bone pressed measurements, and to do them the same way every time you measure. The part of the penis that is inside the fat pad is still part of the penis, and should be taken into account when measuring gains in penile tissue. Measuring non bone-pressed introduces at least one variable - the thickness of your pad of pubic fat - which could easily change in either direction over time.

I, like many others here, choose to report size bone-pressed. Pretty much most of this reported size is usable penis, it is all still there whether I lose fat or gain it. For the most part, women get off on how it feels, and not necessarily how it looks.

I have, however, set one of my goals as 7.5" non bone-pressed length, because I just happen to want to show off as well. But that's just a secondary goal for me, and involves exercise and better diet in addition to PE.

Thanks for all the replies, like I said I was more curious I guess about how much of it is usable and really matters in the measurement.

Not that size matters anyways :D

I'm far from fat and far from totally toned. Probably .25-.50 pubic fat. Not 100% sure. But that's why my goal for the summer is hopefully 7x5" ;) And no pubic fat.

We'll see... work penis work!

Well i have a very minimal fat pad, maybe 1/4" or so. And my ruler doesnt start the actual measurements until 1/4"up so i think i get a pretty good measurement. I started at 6.5" and in 2 years of experimenting and 8 months of serious, long multiple hour days i gained about 2 inches. I don think i'll ever stop doing dld's or jelgs. Its an everyday thing for me now and i want to get the biggest fattest wang attainable. how big around is a pringles can?
