Measuring with a curve

[peacenlove84]

I know this issue draws some strong opinions, and I can't say I feel too strongly either way, but heck, let's discuss -- if you have a significant curve, up or down, you're longer when measured on one of the two sides. That said, the default standard for measuring is on the topside of the dick. Do you consider this method favoring those who curve down?

I, for example, hit 7.25-7.5 measured on the top, but 8+ along my curve. Now the size I say if asked is "a little over 7," and I can't complain with that size, but I've always wondered if guys with a down curve get a little benefit from the topside measuring norm. Thoughts?

I believe we should all measure along the top. For those with curves, use a cloth measuring tape. In reality, we measure to compare and, hopefully, make ourselves feel good (or OK). Using the cloth tape measures the actual length of the skin covering the penis - that's what we want to know. I also believe we should measure 'bone pressed' because the useable or insert-able length.

Unless there is a severe curve up then I think it would come up short?

To use an extreme example, say you cut a donut in half. Measuring along the interior and exterior sides, you'd get wildly different measurements. Now clearly a half-donut would be one heck of a curve, but wouldn't the principle apply to dicks of all curve styles regardless? With a topside-only measuring norm, those with a downward curve are measuring the outer donut, if you will, while those with an up curve are measuring the inner donut. Just an observation.

I agree with ges tho, no one gives a shit but us :tongue:

This is the one "problem" I've found with the accepted method of measuring. Those who curve downwards have an inflated measurement whereas those who curve up will fall short. The discrepancy isn't insubstantial either.

I think that length measurements should always be done with a rigid ruler, and that curves should only be taken into account when you can manually straighten them out.
Then a downward curve which can't be straightened out is the only case where a top measurement doesn't work, so maybe a side measurement should be allowed?
