Rapper and media mogul Anita Max Wynn, better known as Drake, has been in the headlines recently after his floppy, semi-erect penis made its way around the internet. The heated debate isn’t limited to privacy concerns though; the rapper has also been criticized for using a penis measuring technique known as “bone pressing” to make his penis look larger than it is. Even proponents of the system have had qualms with the discourse around how large his penis allegedly is:

“He’s basically measuring from the base of his asshole. There’s no way he’s pushing his dick, balls and taint into someone. I counted a solid 5, maybe 5.5 in applicable length there. … Just to be clear, I’m not upset about the size, I’m upset about the deception.”

Bone pressing is a technique in which a ruler is pushed into the pubic fat into the furthest front part of the sacrum, getting what researchers in the field think is the most accurate reading of penile length. Those same researchers think Drake’s video used a bone pressing technique to make his member look larger than it may be in reality. Dr. Richard Mezure, of Cleveland, Ohio, explains thoroughly in a recently released 4-hour video essay:

“If you’ve seen the video, you know he’s basically touching his ass with his hand and that blanket is covering up the rest of the assembly. I don’t know why the video was shot that way but I will say this: going further than the front of the sacrum isn’t allowed, and is frankly dishonest. The bone pressing guidelines are there to protect us from inaccuracy as well as dishonesty. I don’t want to make any claims about Drake’s intent but there are only a few reasons to be basically grabbing your balls when you’re supposedly jacking your dick.”

Hopefully with time, we’ll figure out exactly how long the star’s penis is as well as whether or not it was a silicone dummy dick. We will keep you posted with further updates.
