OK yet a third way to measure. My dick has an upward curve to it. When I point it downwards (and straiten it out) I do get 8 inches. That's about an inch difference than keeping it "level"! So my first question I guess I still have: Which is the right way to measure?

I'm going with 8" for me because I get that 2 ways (and the pointing down way would actually be inside a woman, unlike bonepressed).
