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.

 Condom Lets Men Measure Up
An idea so simple that it’s brilliant — a Spanish company melds a latex sheath with a measuring stick.
By Remy Craft - Adult Video News
MADRID - "Measuring up" has a whole new meaning. The Condometric is a condom marked with measurements, promising to put a stop to bedroom exaggerations.
Not merely a novelty but a condom that meets Europe's standards for safety and hygiene, the Condometric, manufactured by Curiosite, extends to 9.8 inches or 25 centimeters. (It's offered in either metric or imperial systems.) Flavored varieties are available in lime, cherry, and banana. Using technology that binds the measurements into the fiber of the condom, there is no ink to smear or irritate users.
While the inventors are very tongue-in-cheek about the whole matter, an anonymous tester reported a disheartening experience to British tabloid The Sun: "My girlfriend and some of her friends were testing out Curiosite's Condometric prototype and they met up one day to compare results. This isn't funny."
Curiosite would caution the guy in question to relax: According to the company's manifesto, "What really matters is the size of your self-confidence."

I want to tell this story here not only because it's true, but because I think it's relevant to the topic of the board. I hope my testimony will be a ray of light to someone. I hope everyone here knows that someone will love them unconditionally, if they let them.
As I type, light glints of the shiny, blue stones adorning the ring on the third finger of my left hand. Occasionally, I stop to stare in shock at the sapphire engagement ring. Are we really getting married?
Hades and I met in the chat room here at  . I stumbled in here quite by chance, and he was already here, pouting, and self-doubting in the corner of the chat.
Women were not to be trusted, he always said in those days. A young woman's lies almost ruined his life, his mother never seemed to understand him, resulting in his feelings of constant rejection by his mother. Women in whom he ever showed interest would always lie to him, saying they didn't want to date, or didn't have time for romance. Later, he'd see them lip-locked with someone else.
And then there was "The Thing". That's the derogatory name he had for his penis. Isn't that awful? His penis was 4" long, and 4" around. I thought that didn't sound too bad. I couldn't know for sure, not having been with someone that size, but it didn't seem like anything to be so angry about.
Anyway, I'd read his sulky words in the chat, and try to comfort him, but he had an answer for everything I said. He just plain loved being miserable I thought. He was lonely, depressed and seemed to hate his body. He said he wasn't worthy of female attention or friendship. He didn't like to be touched. In fact, he occasionally got into trouble because he responded violently to being touched.
I would argue with him in the chat room. I'd tell him I bet that he was very handsome, but probably never smiled. I told him I bet that his height and build were intimidating to many women, especially if he was always nervous, mistrusting, or twitchy with them. I told him people who were down on themselves, even if they never said anything about it out loud, were off=putting to other people. He'd always have something slick to say, always an excuse for his attitude, always justification.
I would get frustrated, and decide not to bother much with him anymore. Everyone who frequented the chat room told me to leave him alone. They told me he was miserable, and a pain. They encouraged me to give up on him. I almost did.
I noticed that that seemed to be a pattern. It perpetuated itself, unfortunately. Hades was ornery, and obstinate. He was grumpy and stubborn. No one wanted to deal with him, and as long as he remained so, he would be lonely. As long as he remained lonely, his negative thoughts and inappropriate self-talk would seem justified. So I made a conscious decision to be nicer to him than I normally would.
Hades is a prolific artist who churns out more drawings and illustrations day after day. He also writes really good fan-fiction. So, whenever I ran into him, I'd take some time to look at his pictures, discuss a cartoon, or read some fan-fiction. I began to think of him in a very fraternal way. My own little brother had not been in touch with me for a few years. So, instead, I looked after Hades.
He seemed like a great guy, the more I got to know him, even if his attitude was repulsive, and frustrating beyond belief.
One day, Stephen, who used to post here, announced in a thread that Hades was going to Boot Camp, and that he'd joined the Coast Guard. Later that night, the strongest feeling began to grow inside of me that Hades was going to have a terrible accident and die in boot camp. Statistically speaking that was very unlikely. Still, I had the feeling. I contacted Hades, and begged him to share his real name with me. I told him I needed it in order to pray for him.
I put him on several prayer lists. I prayed twice a day for him, and for his family.
When he came back he told me of an injury which prevented him from completing boot camp on time. I felt everyone's prayers had kept him alive, and he seemed to think so too! We became friends.
One day, not long after that, he was arguing with me about his looks. I told him he was probably cute more than sexy, but that he'd grow out of that and women would respond differently. I also told him he probably just didn't notice when women were attracted to him. He insisted he was ugly, and finally agreed to make an appearance on-camera for E (another poster) and I.
When I saw him I thought he was very hot. I was expecting him to be cute like a boy, but he was cute like a man! He took my silence as a negative, but I was just staring. Hades is a really good-looking man.
Our friendship continued, and we began to encounter various challenges in our off-line lives. We got through these things together. I helped him to get through some of his fears and misconceptions. I tried to show him that I was trustworthy, and that if I could be trusted, maybe other women could be too. When he made friends with a girl in school, I became envious of their time together, a signal which, to me, indicated I was interested in Hades in a way which was no longer platonic.
We made a mutual friend here, who is the female equivalent of Hades with self-doubt, a curious mind, and tremendous artistic talent. She used to post here as Segasaurus. The opportunity to reach out to this woman, and the ability to trust her helped Hades to grow so much. Since we went on that journey together, it cemented our friendship too.
Meanwhile, I shared information with Hades about my sexual experiences with men of varied sizes. At the time, I began seeing a man who was really close in dimension to Hades. I was having intense orgasms with him the likes of which I'd not experienced with any other men. I'd never had an orgasm purely from anal stimulation before that, for example.
At first, my stories gave Hades hope, and made him a teenie-weeny bit more comfortable with his own 4"x4" penis. But then my stories began to make him feel jealous.
So I pushed hard for him to think of me romantically. I made no secret of wanting to be his girlfriend, or of seeing him as the kind of man I could someday marry. We made plans to meet in person, and we've been pretty inseparable since.
Before our first in-person meeting, he began doing exercises to increase the size of his penis. Success with that also improved his confidence, and with improvement of his outlook came even faster strengthening of our bonds. I have to admit I'd been against jelqing and so forth before I saw how happy it made him.
On his birthday, at a party given by his parents in Puerto Rico, before his entire living family, he held up a glass of champagne to me, and toasted to our continued happiness, to the growth of our love and faith together, and turning his glass so that I could see the beautiful orchids his aunt had tied on, and my lovely engagement ring. We both cried a little, hugged, and I of course accepted his romantic proposal. His uncle got the whole thing on video.
Hades and I found a lot here on . He found out he wasn't the only man in the world suffering because he had a small penis. He found out that not all women are evil. The most important thing we found here, however, was each other.
Thanks so much to Sean, and to everyone else who was party to that. |

Former Judge Disbarred for Sexual Device Use
By Bianca Fox - Adult Video News
 OKLAHOMA CITY - A former Creek County District Judge was disbarred on Tuesday, following a conviction of indecent exposure for using a sexual device during trials.
Former Judge Donald Thompson was disbarred by the Oklahoma Supreme Court for conduct it calls an affront to the judiciary and the legal profession and socially unacceptable.
Thompson was accused of using a "penis pump" while presiding over trials and convicted in June 2006 on four counts of indecent exposure. After serving 20 months of a four-year prison term and committing to register as a sex offender, he was released in April.
Thompson's disbarment is effective from December 4, 2006, which is the date the Supreme Court suspended him from the bar association.

Clooney Character Boosts Sex Toy Sales
By Bianca Fox - Adult Video News
 Thanks to George Clooney's character in the film, Burn After Reading, The Silky dildo by Vibratex is receiving an increase in sales.
AdultShopping.com owner Dave Levine features the product on his site. "We have seen an increase in sales for The Silky dildo since the movie's release," he explained. "It is a higher quality dildo, but I think people are coming to the site and expecting it to cost more than $58 since Clooney said it was expensive. So that may be what is boosting sales for that item."
The comedy, written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, surpassed its competition as it became the number one box office hit when it opened last weekend, raking in $19.1 million.
George Clooney playing a sex addict in the movie may influence mainstream America to rethink its opinions about adult products, noted Levine. When George runs off to have sex, he makes sure not to forget his Liberator Ramp. His character has an obsession with building his own sex chair, and he specifically points out the chair's "Silky" dildo because "those things are great but are expensive."
Levine added The Silky dildo and Liberator Ramp items to the front page of AdultShopping.com when he heard that the products were to be featured in a hot movie starring Clooney. "Since adult products are often not allowed to advertise to mainstream audiences and are usually kept out of pop culture, small mentions of adult products in mainstream media can have an outsized effect on sales," he said. "Not only will the items specifically used in the movie sell, but this movie should positively influence the sale of adult products in general."
Other mainstream media moments that assisted in the promotion of sex toys include the "Sex in the City" episode that featured a vibrating rabbit; and HBO's "Real Sex" episode about glass dildos. Burn After Reading is not only bringing laughs to movie goers, but is also helping bring more adult products to the mainstream.

'Last Lecture' professor, Randy Pausch, dies at 47
I made my very first BLOG post at the end of September last year. It was titled The Last Lecture. It was about then 46 year old Professor Randy Pausch of Carnegie Mellon who had been diagnosed with fatal pancreatic cancer. He had just given a lecture in a series called the 'Last Lecture' series. It was a series of lectures in which the speakers were invited to say what they imagined they would say if this were the last lecture of their life. As far as Randy Pausch was concerned, it really was.
On Friday, July 25, 2008, Randy Pausch died.
Here's his obituary from the Carnegie Mellon web site:
Randy Pausch Inspired MillionsRandy Pausch, the professor at Carnegie Mellon University who inspired countless students in the classroom and others worldwide through his highly acclaimed last lecture, has died of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 47.
Also a Carnegie Mellon alumnus, Pausch co-founded the Entertainment Technology Center and led researchers who created Alice, a revolutionary way to teach computer programming. He was widely respected in academic circles for a unique interdisciplinary approach, bringing together artists, dramatists and designers to break new ground by working in collaboration with computer scientists.
Outside the classroom, he gained public fame for delivering what would come to be known as "The Last Lecture." On Sept. 18, 2007, only a month after doctors told him that he had three-to-six months to live following a recurrence of pancreatic cancer, he presented a lecture called "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" to a packed auditorium at Carnegie Mellon.
The moving and often humorous talk recounted his efforts to achieve such childhood dreams as becoming a professional football player, experiencing zero gravity and developing Disney World attractions. In the process, he shared his insights on finding the good in other people, working hard to overcome obstacles and living generously.
"If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself," Pausch said. "The dreams will come to you."
The video appeared on countless websites and has been viewed by millions. Appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC's Good Morning America and the CBS Evening News followed.
A book version, "The Last Lecture" co-written by Jeff Zaslow of the Wall Street Journal (and a fellow Carnegie Mellon alumnus), became a best-seller upon its release this spring.
"Randy had an enormous and lasting impact on Carnegie Mellon," said Carnegie Mellon President Jared L. Cohon. "A brilliant researcher and gifted teacher, he was a key member of our Human-Computer Interaction Institute and co-founder of the Entertainment Technology Center. His love of teaching, his sense of fun and his brilliance came together in the Alice project, which teaches students computer programming while enabling them to do something fun — making animated movies and games. Carnegie Mellon — and the world — are better places for having had Randy Pausch in them."
Pausch was also a pioneer in the development of virtual reality, including creating the popular Building Virtual Worlds class.
A memorial service at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh is being planned; details will be announced at a later date.
He is survived by his wife, Jai, and three children: Chloe, Dylan and Logan. The family requests that donations on his behalf be directed to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 2141 Rosecrans Ave., Suite 7000, El Segundo, CA 90245, or to Carnegie Mellon's Randy Pausch Memorial Fund, which the university will use primarily to support continued work on the Alice project.
For more information on Randy's life and legacy, read In Memoriam: Randy Pausch, Innovative Computer Scientist at Carnegie Mellon, Launched Education Initiatives, Gained Worldwide Acclaim for Last Lecture.
__________
I close this post as I did my first blog post . . .
Now I commend the lecture to you, especially to those of you who still have more of your life ahead of you than behind. When you have an hour and a quarter to spare, watch "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," a lecture by Randy Pausch, recorded on September 18, 2007. It will be time well spent.

Wii Homebrew spawns Wiibrator
By Emma_UK - UK Gamespot News Blog
This is obviously just the kind of thing that Nintendo wanted to stamp out when it released firmware 3.3, complete with provisions intended to stop people from playing homebrew Wii games.  The so-called Twilight Hack, which this firmware upgrade was reported to have disabled, involved manipulating a save game file for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to allow unauthorised code to run on the consoles.
When Harry Met Sally...
Well now its worst nightmares have come true--Nintendo's wholesome family console has become an adults-only vibrator in a unique homebrew application by Team DWiildo. Called the Wiibrator, the application runs through the Wii to make the Wii Remote, well, vibrate. Team DWiildo suggests using the Wii Remote jacket, for safety's sake, and instruct gamers to "Not try to use this with either the Wii Zapper or Wii Wheel peripherals."
There are four different "playing levels," in what is described as a "highly advanced technology demo." The team clearly have ideas for where the project is now going, possibly featuring the ability to add a "stimulating" slideshow of images, USB webcam support, and online chat functionality, as well as local multiplayer options to future versions.
Online multiplayer for up to 32 eager participants may also be coming soon. According to the info, "This would make it the first ever widely available tele-dildonics."

Russian Spa Erects Monument to Celebrate Enemas
By Murphy Diggins - Adult Video News
 MOSCOW - Mashuk-Akva Term, a spa in the Russian city of Zheleznovodsk, has erected an 800-pound bronze syringe bulb upheld by three angels in celebration of enemas. Alexander Kharchenko, director of the spa, said the monument was created without kitsch or obscenity.
"It is a successful work of art," he told the Associated Press. "An enema is almost a symbol of our region."
In the Caucasus Mountains, dozens of spas are known for routinely administering enemas with water from the region's mineral springs to treat digestive and other complaints. The monument, which cost approximately $42,000 and was installed in front of Kharchenko's spa Wednesday, was designed by sculptor Svetlana Avakina, who said the 5-foot-high monument was designed with "irony and humor."
"This device is eternal," she said. "It will never change. We could promote this brand, turn it into a franchise with souvenirs and awards for medical doctors."
Svetlana also said the angels holding up the bronze syringe bulb were designed to resemble those on works by Alessandro Botticelli, an Italian Renaissance painter.

You know, it's weird... I started this weight loss journey as a fat chick. And all through it I guess I've identified myself as a fat chick heading down the road to healthy. At different stages of this journey I've been able to look in the mirror and see changes, and identify that it was a fat chick who was definately less fat than in the beginning looking back at me.
So here's the thing. This weekend I was out and about, wearing my favourite jeans, a brilliant blue tank top and a really cute sports jacket that I love. I caught sight of myself in a store window and HOLY SHIT. There was a healthy looking chick staring back at me!! Where the hell did she come from, and can I take her home and introduce her to the fat chick that's feeling less fluffy that lives in my mirror?
At what point does your mind catch up with the changes to your body? I'm down to 149 lbs now. By no means am I fat. Yes, I'm a tad bit overweight, with a BMI of 27, but considering I started at 38 (208lbs at 5'2"), I'm pretty damn happy with my progress.
Since Saturday, when I spotted that good lookin healthy chick in the window, I've occasionally seen her here at home. It seems she wars for time in my mirror with fat chick that has come a long ways but still has pockets of yuck to lose. When will she win and live there permanently? Will she ever?
I wonder...

Enzyte Distributor Convicted of Fraud
By G. Zisk Rice - Adult Video News
 CINCINNATI - "Smiling Bob," the goofy pitchman for male-enhancement product Enzyte, may not be smiling quite so broadly these days. Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, the company that distributes the product, is considering massive changes in the wake of its founder's conviction on charges the company bilked consumers out of $100 million by employing misleading ads, manipulating credit card transactions and refusing to cancel orders or accept returns.
The six-week trial - which saw founder and president Steve Warshak and several other BPN executives, including Warshak's mother, fall on charges that included conspiracy, bank fraud and money laundering - ended in February. The guilty parties are scheduled to be sentenced in August.
In the meantime, BPN says it's looking for a new image. Changes may include a new name for the company and new concepts for its pitches. "Smiling Bob" may have to go.
"With innovative marketing, customer loyalty and demand, and the continued commitment of its employees, vendors and retail partners, Berkeley will get back to the $200-million-per-year company it used to be," the company said in a statement released last week.
BPN distributes several lines of products it claims will boost energy, manage weight, improve memory and aid relaxation, but Enzyte is the company's flagship product. Not surprisingly, Enzyte's marketing was the source of most of the complaints against the company. According to court documents, former employees testified BPN created fictitious doctors to endorse the product, fabricated customer-satisfaction surveys and manufactured "research" to support Enzyte's effectiveness. [Emphasis added.]
As for Warshak and the other defendants, they have forfeited more than $33 million in assets so far. In addition, Warshak faces as many as 20 years in prison.
The company, though, said it will bounce back.
"Despite the recent economic downturn, BPN has hired 70 employees in the last 45 days and looks to double the size of their call center by the end of '08," according to the statement released last week. "Plans are in place for more product launches and more aggressive recruiting."

Icelandic museum offers long and short of male organ
By Bob Strong
HUSAVIK, Iceland (Reuters) - Sigurdur Hjartarson is missing a human penis. But he's not worried: four men have promised to donate theirs to him when they die.
 Hjartarson is founder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which offers visitors from around the world a close-up look at the long and the short of the male reproductive organ.
His collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull's penis that looked something like a riding crop, now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species.
The largest, from a sperm whale, is 70 kg (154 lb) and 1.7 meters (5.58 ft) long. The smallest, a hamster penis bone, is just 2 mm and must be viewed through a magnifying glass.
One species conspicuous by its absence is homo sapiens, but that may soon be rectified since a German, an American, an Icelander and a Briton have promised to donate their organs after death, according to certificates on display.
The American, 52-year-old Stan Underwood, supplied a written description of his penis -- which he purportedly nick-named "Elmo" -- for display alongside a life-size plastic mould of the member as well as his pledge to donate it.
Hjartarson said the Icelandic donor, a 93-year-old from nearby Akureyri, was a womanizer in his youth who thought having his penis in the collection might bring him eternal fame.
But vanity may make him rethink the offer.
"He has mentioned lately that his penis is shrinking as he gets older and he is worried it might not make a proper exhibit," Hjartarson said.
