Hey guys
Im woundering how everyone is measuring there bpel.Ive spoke to a few members who have said that they dont push it as hard as they can, they just press down a little bit.I myslef jam the ruller to the max so its as consistant of a measurment as possible.How do you guys do it? do you jam it as hard as you can or just push down lightly

You'll get different responses to this one. I use a dowel rod that I stick in directly over top at a firm pressure, but I definitely don't try to draw blood or anything. I think the key is using the same pressure every time you do it. I have a line drawn at the bottom of the dowel that tells me when to stop pushing in so I get the same measurement every time. I think some people push-in way too hard and this skews their measurement. I can get a 1/2" "gain" by pushing in a lot harder than I do.

well I dont mean to draw blood, I just mean push till you cant go further, I use a tape measurer so it has a flat peice on it that dosent cause any discomfort when I push really hard.I like you dowel idea tho, thats a good system

Like you, boxer, I jam it in quite hard so that I actually can feel the pubic bone (BP?).
But like Gator, my aim isn't to draw blood...

NBPEL kinda fluctuates a lot, that's why most of us measure BPEL. Also, most size studies are measured in BPEL if I remember correctly. I push pretty damn hard. Far enough in that I know how much pressure I need to put on. Trying to get the most accurate measurement possible.

I think its much more consistant then just measuring your nbpel, What if you loose some wieght and decreas your fat pad and then your thinkin youve made a gain from pe but its really just wieght loss.I just think its better to measure everything you know

i only measure NBPEL for the sake of measuring from a 3rd person perspective. What does a BPEL measurement mean to me if a girl cant see it?

Well, when you push in all the way, some of that fat pad gets pushed back. It's moreso for making sure the measurements are more accurate. When measuring NBP I would get 4 different measurements every time I tried.... so I quit doing it.

I press until it stops naturally, I could press more but it would hurt.

Gel King - Thats what i thought but im now thinking thats not the way to see it.

I use a dowel like gator does. I push hard enough to hit the bone.

Hey king gel, your right about it not meaning anything to women, but the whole point behind the BP method, is to get a consistantly accurate measurement each time. It's hard for me to get a accurate repetitive measurment doing it the NBPEL way.

I press lightly if i'm doing a BPEL measurement.

To be honest, I stopped measuring that way a while ago. A guy on Th***er's P**ce was quoted as saying "if it can't go in a vagina, it don't count", which is quite a brash way to put it but very very true. For this reason, I only do NBPEL measurements now - I take it from around a cm in front of the pubic bone to the top of the glans. So my measurement is really about 5.3".

Hahaha... JIMP, that's a very valid (and funny) point you brought from Thunder's! Although I don't measure BPEL as a brag to my lady ("Hey babe, do you wanna know exactly how many inches I'm putting in you right now?!") - I do it to ensure consistency and to see if my routines work or not.

I agree with the whole vagina point, but keeping your BPEL will help you see if you're doing a proper routine. As I have experienced, I think you will experience gains in your BPEL before your NBPEL, so they kind of "lead you on", but in a good way.
