For some reason (just my opinion, not trying to start drama brah's) I see BP measurements as a way of padding our ego, no pun intended. I realize BP measurements are deemed the "correct" way to measure per medical perspective. I see what you mean, but the main reason for using BP measurements isn't to do with padding ego. There is a practical reason for it. NBP can fluctuate with weight changes etc, so isn't so useful those trying to keep track of gains they might make from stretching, Hanging and jeiqing etc. So BP is the key measurement for those looking to increase the length of their penis as it allows one to track their progress much more accurately. Hence most people only discover the term "Bone Pressed" on PE forums.

I've always measured Flaccid length by simply Hanging a flexible tape from where the base meets groin (i have a scar there to maintain a consistent reference point) and letting it follow the contour of the hang and take a measurement at the end where it falls off the glans. This is a skewed measurement as it follows the curvature, but it's a relative measurement when I mostly compare for my own sake. trying to measure straight out seems futile. Is this how everyone does it, or is there yet another 'technical' method for this measurement... i.e. BPEL and such. I've always done p.e. for myself and my partner... never for the sake of a 'sword fight'. It does, however, help to understand comparable gains or results of a given procedure. Just curiousl.

Otherwise, you may end up measuring it differently each time, and hence, not really measuring your progress. It also helps to make you believe the poenis is bigger than it really is lol It also shows potential growth, since the EL should be able to extend to the BP length sooner or later.

(BP vs NBP). The whole point of bone press is to create a 'control' that eliminates eq variables and fat pad issues. Also for comparison sake and understanding of other's actual gains. I don't much care bout all that. I was simply wondering if when most members are measuring Flaccid if they do it the way I do- hang a tape as if falls naturally and read where it ends. This as opposed to trying to measure 'straight out'- which really refutes the whole 'Flaccid' thing anyway... I was really asking so I didn't fool myself into an 'exaggerated claim' being that's the way I measure flacccid- as one of the few pics I've ever posted. I actually always used a pumped measurement in the tube for comparables (measured directly on the tube).. because it's absolute potential; if it gains, then everything else must as well. Whatever works I suppose.

Stretching it out to measure it straight seems like it would provide inaccurate results. Though I guess with a natural curve, measuring as it hangs could also provide inaccuracy.
