First off, there are no "penis size survey" parameters. There are not a ton of reputable penis size surveys or studies being done by reputable people (as you make it out to be). If so, where is the data?...
I'm afraid you are wrong. There is a fairly common method used for many penis size surveys - i.e bonepressed, standing, with the penis horizontal. It's not so common and exact to be described as a cast-iron standard, but it provides a reasonable benchmark IMO. In any case, the variation in method usually concerns the degree to which the measurements are bonepressed, not whether the subjects are sitting or standing. I don't think I've ever heard of a survey where sitting measurements were taken.
Of course you can use whatever method you want, but if you don't have some kind of common standard then comparisons are meaningless. You could mesaure from the balls if you like - in one sense that's as legitimate a measurement as any other.
Univerities, National Armies... uh what?
Last time I checked none of those institutions were measuring anyone's penis, just like they aren't measuring women's breasts or vaginas. And like I said before, if so then where is the data?
You obviously didn't check very thoroughly.

There are many more. There are also studies on vaginal depth BTW.
A random person, at a random university or institution, doing a random study doesn't make it reputable.
You have an interesting definition of "random" - one which I'm afraid I don't share. I would suggest that most of the institutions I've listed (and I could list many more) would generally be regarded as reputable.
Incidentally, there have been studies on vaginal depth.
and it certainly doesn't make their research method a standard.
Maybe not, but its as good a place to start as any. You have to have some common standard if you wish to compare, or even to have bragging rights, if that's what floats anyone's boat.
I imagine one reason that the standing measurement is often used, is that it best represents the maximum length that can penetrate during sex. If you are sitting then penetration will not be as deep.
Secondly, I never said I couldn't get an erection while standing. I said that it wasn't as comfortable to me as getting one while sitting. If something is uncomfortable for me, why should I be forced to compare it with someone who that same situation is comfortable for?
No one's forcing you to do anything. However if you want to compare with someone (say for example the OP) then you need to have some common definition. If you wish to say that you're 8"BP based on a sitting measurement, then the OP could probably say he's over 9" measured in the same way. In other words the benchmark goes up.
It seems to me that people often claim 8"BP or NBP, because this is some kind of magic number - it's deemed remarkable enough to boast about. If anyone chooses to measure in a manner that maximises their size then the measurement becomes less remarkable than it would other wise be.
Bottom line, there is no standard for measuring your penis size. The best technique would be displacement because it would measure length and girth at the same time, but no one does that anyway. As long as you aren't doing some crazy or cheating measuring technique then it's fine.
Personally I think sitting is a "cheating" measuring technique, for want of a better word, because it measures penis length that can't be used, moreso than a standing measurement.
Bonepressed is not totally representative either, although much of the fat pad is compressed during sex (a couple of studies call it "functional" penis length measurement, rather than bone-pressed). However it provides a consistent reference point rather than the fluctuating and unreliable measurement that non bone-pressed often is.
But all these sitting vs. standard, BPL vs NPBL, cloth measuring tape vs tape measure, etc. etc. are bullshit arguments.
I disagree. It's useful to try and arrive at the most useful method of measuring. Part of the interest in penis size is in comparison. This can't reasonably be done unless you have a standard.
Case in point, your post above...
I'm not sure why you feel the need to be abusive, but I'll let that one pass.
... really???
"He's thrusting his hips forward. His knees are bent."...
I already agreed to take his word that he wasn't thrusting forward. However if he hadn't been measuring in such an unnatural position, presumably in order to maximise his measurements, I wouldn't have made that mistake. However his legs
are bent and that will increase his measurement compared to one taken standing up straight.
Wow. At least he
has pictures. Ijs.
And I don't think they prove he has an 8" BP penis, at least not measured in any meaningful way. It would not be possible to use the full 8" he has measured during sex.
You could make the same argument for the OP's pics.
Nope. Unless he's photoshopped his thighs out, he's quite clearly standing up straight and his measuring his penis horizontally (or more importantly perpendicular to his torso) as opposed to the method finebyme uses. Finebyme's method maximises his length measurement to the nth degree. Personally, I don't see the point of doing so when none of the extra penis that measuring technique considers can be used in reality.
