Welcome to Measurection.com!
While our site started 10 years ago for men with penis insecurities, it has become so much more. It has grown to become a site dealing with all issues men face, including erectile dysfunction, sexual confusion, penis size rlated issues, and so much more.
The main issues that so many seem to face are related to self-confidence. Many people believe there is something wrong with them because they are different; because they are sexually confused, or because their equipment isn't quite like everyone else's. Once they can accept themselves for who they are, and love themselves for who they are, lives improve. Helping people feel better about themselves is our main goal.

No, not the kind you are thinking of... or is it?
As you know, I've turned over a new leaf and am on a journey towards a fit me. I've lost over 50 pounds and am feeling on top of the world.
Today is even better. Yesterday I did my first ever 10k run!! I had set a goal for myself to beat 90 minutes. I ended up finishing in 75 minutes!!
I was feeling a total let down this morning. The last 13 weeks I have been focused on training for the Vancouver Sun Run. I literally went from couch to 10k. I worked hard, and I worked long. At least three days a week had dedicated training sessions in them. I road conditioned. I did hills. I was motivated. I was determined. I even had a mantra for when I was huffing up a hill. "Can, am, am", which is short for "I can do this, I am conditioned, I am an athlete." Geeky, but it gets me up those hills... lol.
So today? Kinda lost... I wonder if this is how a bride feels the day after her wedding? (I eloped, so wouldn't know) So I did the only thing I could think of. I signed up for another 10k run on May 25th.
I think I've created a monster. Stay tuned...

Amnesia Strikes Priest After Strip Club Odyssey
By Mike Albo - Adult Video News
RIVERSIDE, OH – According to police, the operation was just a random check of out-of-state license plates of cars that were parked at a strip club in a "high-crime" section of town – but when they ran the New York plate of Toyota Camry, they found that its owner, Craig S. Rhodenizer, was wanted for questioning by both the New York state police and the FBI. The cops were instructed to approach Rhodenizer to confirm his identity, since he'd been listed as a "missing person" some 36 hours earlier.
But upon being questioned by the Riverside police, Rhodenizer started crying and claimed that he couldn't remember anything that happened from the time the previous afternoon when he'd told his wife he was taking his computer over to the Best Buy in Amherst to get it fixed. The family had planned to leave for Florida on vacation the following morning.
Oh; did we mention that Rhodenizer is the pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church in Lyndonville, N.Y.?
In contrast to Rhodenizer's "memory lapse," the dancers at the unnamed strip club where the cops found him remember the priest pretty well. They told investigating officers that the Rev. spent a couple of hours drinking, getting lapdances and making threatening comments to those around him. They also said he offered to take some of the dancers back to his motel room, where they conceivably would party with the bottle of Bacardi rum that the cops found in his car.
But for someone who claims that he couldn't remember the previous day-and-a-half, it may be significant that when the police asked him if he were indeed the missing preacher, Rhodenizer began crying immediately and asked if his wife and son were all right.
In any case, the cops took Rhodenizer to Grand View Medical Hospital in Dayton for tests. Apparently, all that now remains is for Rhodenizer to offer a tearful apology to his congregation, as have Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker and Ted Haggard similarly done before him.

Nude Juice Bar Shakes Up Nebraska Town
County looking for zoning loopholes to prevent business from opening
By Mike Albo - Adult Video News
COZAD, Neb. – Cozad, Neb., is a small and sleepy town that comprises a mere 2.1 square miles of area on the Great Plains. The town's greatest claim to fame, arguably, is its depiction in the Jack Nicholson film About Schmidt.  But now the Associated Press is reporting that Cozad and Dawson County officials are in a tizzy over the proposed opening of a nude juice bar just outside of Cozad's jurisdiction.
The new club is scheduled to open on March 7, and owner Dan Robinson says he’s not surprised by the reaction his business is getting from local lawmakers.
Robinson, who owns a similar club called Shakers located off Interstate 80 just outside of Waverly, Neb., told KHGI-TV in Kearney, Neb., “(When) we did this 12 years ago Waverly had the same opposition when we first started. In the first four months we showed them we could run the place professionally. Waverly’s been OK ever since: no violations, no problems with law enforcement or with the community.”
The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office provides police services to Sheriff’s Sgt. Andy Stebbing of the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, which provides service to Waverly, told the AP that a records check found no violations for the club.
According to the AP, local residents packed a planning commission meeting last week to voice their concerns over the proposed opening.
The AP reports that Christina Parsons, who lives adjacent to the new Shakers property said, “We have an 8-year-old boy, and I want to know he can go outside and play.”
City and county officials claim they have been trying their best to deny the planned use of the property.
“We have gone through the regs with a fine-tooth comb,” said Dawson County zoning administrator, Ellen Arms in the AP article. “If we can find a loophole, we will,” she said.
When that statement drew some controversy, commissioner Don Batie said soon after that the lawmakers were not looking for any loopholes and said officials “will just follow the letter of the law.”
Shakers owner Robinson said in the AP article that he plans to be a good neighbor. He said of the opposition, “They have the right to their views, but we have to right to open up.”

Last night saw the premiere of the new "Knight Rider" television series. It was not a re imagining of the old series, nor one of the moronic spin-offs seen in the 90's. No, this is something moronic of a different sort; a sequel to the original series from the 1980's, seeing Michael Knight's son, Mike Traceur (cool name, I have to admit), now behind the driver's seat of K.I.T.T. While it seems like a good idea in theory, it was executed horribly.
This show really had the potential to be fun, for both the fans of the original series and those just discovering it for the first time, but it missed.
K.I.T.T., originally voiced by William Daniels of "St. Elsewhere" and "Boy Meets World" fame, is sorely missed here. Val Kilmer stepped in just recently to replace Will Arnett, who was asked by GMC to leave the show. K.I.T.T. is a Ford Mustang, you see, and Arnett had done voiceovers for Chevy. I was hoping for at least a small cameo by the old Trans Am, like David Hasselhoff received, but no such luck. In fact, I would have liked to have seen the old K.I.T.T. over Hoff any day.
I won't get into the plot. It is stupid. And the acting? Horrible. Specifically the actress who played "Jen", Mike Traceur's ex love interest. The entire thing got off to such a horrible start because it mostly relied on her carrying the scenes. When Mike (Justin Bruening) was introduced, as well as Bruce Davidson's character, Charles Graiman, things got a bit better, but no where near where it could have been.
I did enjoy the banter between Traceur and K.I.T.T., even though it was pretty limited. A lot of what made the original show so great was the relationship between Michael Knight and K.I.T.T., so it was nice to see them at least recognize that. It just never felt like it did in the original series. Val Kilmer's K.I.T.T. felt a little too much like HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, when Daniel's K.I.T.T. felt more human and could, at times, be a real wise ass. Kilmer's car just had no personality. Maybe that is something they plan to develop over the course of the series, I'm not sure. I just wish there would have been a connection between Traceur and K.I.T.T. I think Bruening has what it takes to pull of the character and carry the show. He is just given a lot of crap to work with, which is unfortunate.
Overall, I was disappointed with the first 45 minutes, and began to get interested in the last 75, but it didn't deliver what I would have expected. Or hoped. K.I.T.T. just wasn't memorable for me this time around And some of the driving sequences where they clearly used green screens was just unforgivable, especially when a canceled show like FOX's "Drive" can give us some really exciting car chase sequences that looked so much better and would have felt right at home here.
I used to want my own K.I.T.T. when I first watched this show back in the 80's. I was one of those kids who mailed in some proofs of purchases to get my very own limited edition Matchbox K.I.T.T. I even called one of the phone numbers they had advertised to get my own copies of K.I.T.T.'s specs. I was a huge fan, and I watched the show faithfully every week.
This was disappointing, but I know I'll give it another chance. I'll watch a couple more episodes before passing final judgment on it. Only because I know some shows start out rocky and get better over time, and because I just love the whole concept of the show and really, truly wanted t to work.
NBC is rerunning it this coming Saturday, February 23, at 8:00 PM CST. |

At last! What I've long believed has finally been statistically proved. The following is from an Adult Video News article by Mark Kernes.
Northwestern Univ. Law Professor: Porn Decreases Rape
The results of research conducted by Anthony D'Amato, a law professor at Northwestern University, shows a strong statistical link between the rise of access to pornography and the sharp decline in sexual assault.
D'Amato noticed that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) figures for rape and attempted rape declined 85% between 1980 and 2004, the most recent year for which figures are available; from 2.7 rapes or attempts per 1,000 people in 1980 to 0.4 per 1,000 in 2004.
And D'Amato further noticed that there's been no shortage of official explanations for the decline, including less crack addicts and other would-be rapists on the streets because they're already in prison for other crimes; sex education classes teaching the concept that "'No' really does mean 'No'"; and the idea that women have been taught to avoid unsafe situations.
"There is, however, one social factor that correlates almost exactly with the rape statistics," D'Amato claims: Porn on the Web.
And he's got the stats to prove it. Roughly 20% of the Internet is adult content, but potential viewers of the material don't have as much access to it in some states as they do in others. According to D'Amato, data compiled by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in 2001 reveal that the four states with the lowest per capita access to the Net were Arkansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, and West Virginia, while the four states with the highest per capita access were Alaska, Colorado, New Jersey, and Washington.
What makes D'Amato's work award-worthy, however, is that he's compared the change in rape rates in each of those eight states, and come to the astounding conclusion that those states whose residents were more capable of accessing adult content saw a 27% decrease in rape over the 24 year period from '80 to '01, while the four states whose residents were least capable of accessing adult content saw a 53% increase in rapes.
D'Amato's interest in the subject was piqued when he noticed the disparity between President Nixon's 1970 Commission on Obscenity and Pornography and President Reagan's similar "study," best known as the Meese Commission.
"Although the Reagan Commission had at its disposal all the evidence gathered by psychology and social-science departments throughout the world on the question whether a student’s exposure to pornography increased his tendency to commit antisocial acts, I found that the Commission was unable to adduce a shred of evidence to support its affirmative conclusion," D'Amato states. "No scientist had ever found that pornography raised the probability of rape."
D'Amato published an analysis of the Meese Commission Report in 1990, in which he suggested that one reason for the decline in sexual violence even then might be due to the idea that "some people watching pornography may 'get it out of their system' [i.e., masturbate] and thus have no further desire to go out and actually try it," adding that another possibility is that human bodies in the modern era don't present the mystery that they did in, say, Victorian times, when "[t]he sight of a woman’s ankle was considered shocking and erotic."
"I am sure there will be other explanations forthcoming as to why access to pornography is the most important causal factor in the decline of rape," D'Amato asserts. "Once one accepts the observation that there is a precise negative correlation between the two, the rest can safely be left to the imagination."
Note: See the article Rape, Porn and Criminality: Political Truth on Trial by Anthony D'Amato from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law publication "Jurist." In it he explains his methodology and his results.

Abercrombie & Fitch Store Manager Cited for Obscenity
By Peter Warren - Adult Video News
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - The manager of an Abercrombie & Fitch outlet in Lynnhaven Mall was handed a citation for obscenity Saturday after police removed two large promotional posters from the store, according to The Virginian-Pilot.
Saying they were acting in response to citizen complaints, police claimed they took this measure only after the store's management failed to heed repeat warnings to remove the images.
 The black-and-white pictures in question depicted, respectively, the backs of a group of shirtless young men running though a field with the one in front pulling up his slightly slipping jeans, and a topless woman with much of one breast exposed.
Of the latter, police spokesman Adam Bernstein said the model's "breast is displayed with her hand covering just the nipple portion. You could still pretty much see the rest of the breast."
Bernstein said the store manager, whose name has not been released, was charged with violating City Code Section 22.31, which outlaws "obscene materials in a business that is open to juveniles."
The seizure of the posters, Bernstein said, was "prompted by several customer complaints, and the management of Abercrombie & Fitch was notified of those complaints."
A summons for a Class One misdemeanor, the citation was issued to the store's manager because there is no way to legally issue a summons to a corporate entity in such circumstances, Bernstein said. The manager was not arrested, but could face a fine of up to $2,000 and as much as a year in jail if convicted.
After the above AVN story was filed, The Virginian-Pilot newspaper updated the story on its web site:
Beach plans to drop charges against Abercrombie store
A city attorney said the city thought it would be difficult to meet some standards of the law, which say the display needed to have no artistic merit and be offensive to standards in the community.

Are you wondering what's new and exciting in my life? Well, I'm telling you anyways, so nya!
I have signed up to do a 10K called the Sun Run. It's a pretty big thing here in Vancouver. I'm doing a training program and this week was B R U T A L!! Five minutes of slow and easy walking, then seven rotations of three minutes running, two minutes walking, then the five slow and easy again. My goal is to be able to do the entire 10K in ten minute running intervals with one minute walking in between.
I did the Sun Run years ago, just after I quit smoking. I didn't train AT ALL. Got a call the day before because someone had dropped out and there was an extra registration just sitting, so I thought "what the hell!". Oh Lord. The paaaaain!! I walked it in just under 2 hours, which for an out of shape fat girl was impressive! But the paaaaaain!! I think the words "never again" crossed my lips a few times.
But here I go again!! I'm in really good shape this time, with only 25 extra pounds on my frame. I think I was closer to 190 when I did it last time. Now I'm 160. I hadn't moved off my couch in... well, ever, last time. I excercise a minimum of three times a week now.
I'm excited! It's going to be fun!! I've even bought a Timex Ironman watch to do the intervals. AND a running belt which carries my water bottle. I'm like a real runner now!
I laugh at myself, because I blow my own mind. Literally a year ago (I started this journey Feb 19th and 50 lbs ago), I would look at people who were running and think "they don't even have anyone chasing them! No pork chop tied to their ass and gang of ravenous dogs even!" I just did not GET the concept of running for pleasure. Now I do.
I'm weird. Even for me. LOL
Till next time!

 I stumbled across an interesting article, reported a while ago, but worth a read.
Men Overestimate Normal Penis Size
It's almost cementing what we continually reassure around here on this site. Stop comparing your penis to that of a porn star and thinking you are abnormal because you are not over 9 inches hung.
just a thought.
