Concerned Newbie - LOSING length
You are probably inundated with posts like this so I’ll apologize in advance. I joined here over a month ago but this is my first post. I guess I’m more of a lurker and I don’t have a lot of PE knowledge to share. Hopefully that will soon change.
Anyway, this is another bitchy “why the hell haven’t I gained anything yet” type of posts. I thought about not posting it at all but then I looked around. My circumstances and experiences seem quite different from other similar posts. So, here we go.
I started doing routine PE on January 15, 2009. I’ve been consistent with it too. So, in the grand scheme of things, I have done extremely little. I started out doing a very light newbie routine, just to see how my dick would react. I did the following routine from January 15 – January 25 on an every other day frequency:
• 10 minute warm-up
• 1 set of basic stretches (5 ways) (30 second holds)
• 8 minute jelqing
That’s all I did for those 10 days. No gains but I had good reactions from my penis. My EQ was pretty high, I had morning wood every morning, and I had no feelings of fatigue or soreness. So, I decided that maybe I was doing too little given the newbie routines generally call for more than what I was doing. So, I upped volume and intensity. I did the following routine from January 26 – February 10 on a 2 on, 1 off frequency:
• 10 minute warm-up
• 2 sets of basic stretches (5 ways) (30 second holds)
• 10 minute jelqing
I still had great reactions from my penis. Same high EQ, routine morning wood, and no fatigue, soreness, or pain. However, no gains. This is where I started getting slightly irritated. While I understand some people take a long time to gain, I also realize that other people gain quickly. This is when I started thinking and reading up on other people’s progress. My situation seemed so similar to those that gained quickly: positive penis reactions to increased intensity. But this is where they started to gain while I stayed the same. I’m a member on another PE forum and I was encouraged to take a short break of a few days and then come back with a lighter routine but with more frequency. Okay, so I tried that. I took 3 days off and came back with a new routine on a 5 on, 2 off frequency:
• 10 minute warm-up
• 1 set of basic stretches (5 ways) (30 second holds)
• 10 minute jelqing
I have been doing that routine from February 13 – current. So, basically, I started out very light, went moderate, and then stayed moderate but with more frequency.
At no point during any of these routines did I have any sign of a negative reaction in my penis. Ever since I started PE, I have had morning wood every morning. My EQ is extremely high, but then again, I am 19 and I guess that’s not uncommon. I never experience soreness or fatigue.
I measured two nights ago and this when I really started getting concerned. When I started PE, I measured consistently at BPEL 6.0”. For the past two nights, my dick has measured BPEL 5.9”. These were not lazy erections either. Both nights I was extremely hard while measuring. SO, I think it is safe to say that I have now lost .10” in length since beginning PE.
What pisses me off the most is that my penis has given me every indication known to man that it should be growing, not shrinking. I simply don’t understand this. Last night, I started a new routine that is even more intense stretching-wise with a 5 on, 2 off frequency:
• 10 minute warm-up
• 2 sets of basic stretches (5-ways) (60 second holds)
• 10 minute jelqing
I have been encouraged to increase the intensity of my stretching a total of 2 minutes after 2 weeks and then a total of 2 minutes every week after that. I’ve also been encouraged to increase my jelqing time 2 minutes every week. I did the more intense routine last night for the first time and I have similar positive reactions this morning and all day today.
So, I guess my concern is simple: what the hell is going on here? Am I in an odd situation where my dick will simply handle anything I throw at it and refuse to grow? I mean, there cannot be any reason why I would actually lose length while maintaining perfectly good PIs. I’m really concerned. I certainly hope someone can give me some encourage words or advice here. Thanks.
