honestly i think NON bone pressed measurements are best for these kind of questions. unless your fat-pad is on the large side, then the girl isnt going to get your extra .5 or whatever it is. Just a thought.
guys with 5 inches only think 6+ inches is big, guys with 6 inches only think 7+ is big, guys with 7 inch only think 8+ is big and so on. Your question only proves to me that you are male, like everyone else (me included), and big is never big enough.
You say 7BPEL is a gray area, while i understand what you mean - its not massive nor small nor average, just big - you should realise that all of this stuff is confidence and mindset, there are guys trolling around this forum saying waaay look at us we are in the 7inch club!! yada yada yada,
