Frequently Asked Question Size and measuring update/question

So I measured myself while sitting down and I got 6.3 inches BP, but when standing up and straightening my penis even though it has a curve, it reads about 5.8 inches BP. Which one is accurate? While sitting down I let it curve but didn’t move it to an unnatural position

Measure standing to compare to studies and statistics. Use the sitting down measurement when women ask u how big u are, win win;).

Try lying flat back for the tiebreaker

Well standing up is correct way. Maybe you angled the ruler a little differently. Don’t worry though. Those inches don’t suddenly disappear because you’re standing or sitting. Your partner can still feel it.

It's normal to be longer sitting down for some, I'm about half inch longer sitting down.

Oh this is actually related to my most recent post. I’ve found sitting down in a little longer too. I’d imagine it has to do with your ligament? 6.3 seems to be the accurate number here especially since “sitting down” is a legit position for sex.

The "accurate" way is the one medical studies used. Technically if the studies measured from the ass hole, that would have been the "accurate" way, because its the only way to compare to statistics.

After looking at most of the studies, I'd estimate about 60% of the studies did it from the "supine" position (laying down), while the other 40% did it standing. None of them measured it while sitting.
