.25 gain but strange ache

This is my first post and I want to start by saying that this is a great forum and I appreciate all of the knowledge available on the subject of PE. I started PE about 2 months ago and I have gained .25 which is really motivating yet, recently I have noticed a strange aching sensation during my routine, it feels like it’s on or around my balls close to where the shaft and balls connect. It’s not the skin but deeper, I am not sure if it is the tunica or not.

This ache reoccurs very mildly a few times throughout the day and when I get into my routine again I can feel it. Is this a sign of growth or a negative PI from over working?
My routine: 5 min warmup, 5 min stretching, 10 min jelqing. 2 on 1 off
I have taken 3 days off and the feeling is gone, I plan on starting the linear newbie routine and see how that works out for me.
Can you guys maybe shed some light on what I am experiencing and tell me if you think this new direction is a good move?
Any responses are much appreciated.

Its a sign that your stretching your tunica beyond its limits. I think your pain is a healthy sign. I get the same ache doing tunica specific exercises. My pain is usually around the exit point of my penis from my body.

Thanks for the reply, that’s a positive prognosis I hope your right. I guess ill keep my routine the same and keep a close eye on my measurements, unless there are any other opinions out there.

I get aches at the base every once in a while, usually after a real heavy workout, and after about 2 days it’s gone. IMO with your routine your probably not overworking, as long as it doesn’t transition from an ache to pain you will probably be just fine.

Have you done some downward stretching and does the aching increase when you stretch the penis downwards?

It sounds like the ligaments to me. I personally like the feeling and associate it with successfully stretching the ligaments. I wouldn’t be too worried about over working the ligaments, it’s basically just a tough tissue. They actually cut the ligaments in penis enlargement surgery AFAIK.

Well I actually get an ache on the topside base of my penis not under, and it feels like the ligaments and I think it’s because I’ve been stretching them out, I kinda like the feeling actually.

Yes I do about 90% of my jelqing in a downward direction. Is this beneficial to length gains or should I jelq in a different direction? Now that you mention it I “can” feel it in my ligaments, I was having trouble pinpointing the exact location of the discomfort. Rarely I will still feel it in my balls which is weird. Now that I am aware that it is nothing serious I can see how the sensation could be perceived as pleasing, similar to the feeling you get being sore after working out at the gym. Thanks for the replies

Yes, doing stretching/jelqing downwards targets the ligaments. It’s great for length gains and since your using the jelq exercise you’re also working the girth at the same time, sounds like a good routine. As you said, the aching feeling is not really painful it’s more a kinda itchy and dull soreness that is felt deep at the base of the penis. Perhaps it’s a good PI for gains?

At the end of the day, the results is what matters and you’ve had a .25” gain which is great so it’s obviously working for you.
