Measurement Verification Project

A common criticism in conducting a project of this nature, in which highly personal data is submitted anonymously, is that participants are prone to “stretch the truth”.

Given the symmetric distribution of erect penis lengths and the close agreement with other studies, I believe that the extent of such an offense is minimal. Nevertheless, such criticism is valid but unfortunately, until recently, the only method of confirming the accuracy of the data submitted – to personally visit and measure each and every participant – was impossible. However, now that digital cameras are becoming increasingly commonplace, it occurred to me that such a problem can be surmounted by requesting interested individuals to submit a measurement photo of themselves.

The “Measurement Verification Project” (MVP) involves the receipt of an erect measurement photo and the submission of some pertinent subject information.

The data will be entered into a separate database, and when a sufficient number of responses has been received, an ongoing comparison of MVP data with survey data previously collected will be made.

Please do not confuse this request with the one regarding photos for Section E of the questionnaire. No MVP photo will be posted unless you request publication and like all other photos and data that I receive, will be held in the strictest of confidence.

Photo Submission Guidelines

  • try to use a cloth or other flexible tape measure
  • the tape measure may be in either inches or centimeters/millimeters
  • your penis must be maximally erect and held perpendicular to your
    abdomen
  • keep the measure as taunt as possible against the penis
  • the measure should be placed directly on top of the penis, and not
    to the side
  • ensure that the entire penis is included in the photo, from the base
    to the tip of the head
  • make sure that the picture is close enough, and clear enough, to unequivocally
    shown the precise length
  • if you wish, you may also take a flaccid and/or erect circumference
    measurement shot.

 

We are currently working on the upload feature for the site, please check back once the new questionnaire is live to upload your verification photo.
