Just a few months in on the injection journey and all is good. My question to all on this forum is when we want to get a measurement of success and length, what is the staring point for the ruler? The pevic bone would seem like the most consistant point-we all have one, right? Hope the Committee for Uniform Weights and Measures will "length in".
Also, how do I attach a signature on the bottom of the post?

Re: Uniform measurements
I never understood the "pelvic bone" part...
40 years old, married. ED all my life because of spinal cord injury caused by a tumor in early infant age. Using standard EDEX20 since 2007. Increasingly bad results with EDEX in the last few years, but had very good results for at least 10 years.

Re: Uniform measurements
I just measure starting at the base out to the tip. Essentially, the length of what will actually go in your partner.
Fifty-one years old. ED started at age forty. I took Cialis for eight years and used Trimix for almost three. Implanted 12/6/22 by Dr. Jonathan Clavell. AMS 700CX 21cm.

Yeah, figured as much
Cause otherwise i don't think it's representative of your "actual" size, what your partner will see and (normally) experience is not "to the pelvic bone".

Re: Uniform measurements
Resurrecting an old thread because it's spot-on for my question.
Bone Pressed Erect Length (BPEL) makes sense as a standard because you get an objective starting point. But I find a great discrepancy between barely bone pressed and aggressively bone pressed. I know it's subjective, which we're trying to get away from, but how would you qualify the forceful!ness of the push of the ruler into the fat pad?
FWIW, the only time a nurse practitioner measured me, she used a tape measure and barely pushed it into my fat pad. Her measurement was ½ inch (1.5cm) less than what I can get by pushing hard.

She wasn't all that attractive but I get the idea.
