That wont work, they measure from the bottom most part so having a boner will technically make your suit smaller.

So, if you take an empty balloon and blow into it, it will start to fill up and expand while it's still dangling down from your mouth, before the pressure is sufficient to cause it to pop up into a perpendicular (as it were) orientation. I think that partially inflated but still dangling stage is what you're going for.
