Dull ache at base of penis

Hello

I just started with the linear newbie routine a few days ago, that is 5 minutes of warm up/massage with rice sock, 10-20 semi-flaccid jelqs, 15 3sec kegels, and then warmdown in the shower, 2 days on/1 day off. For the past few days I’ve sometimes (usually when I’m sitting down) experienced a mild dull aching at the base of my penis. I typically only feel it when I touch the base lightly, if I press harder the ache goes away.

Is this something to be worried about, or is it a positive indicator of progress?

All around the base of the shaft, or just in one area?

It’s pretty much spread out around the base, although I typically only feel it when I touch one of the sides. Sometimes the ache radiates out a bit further along the shaft.

You might have stretched just a little too hard.

I’ve felt something that fits that general description, and it usually followed an over-vigorous stretching session. I’d recommend monitoring it and maybe taking a few days off to make sure it doesn’t get worse. If it does, you may want to get medical attention.

Good luck.

Agreed, it sounds like you overdid it. Take two weeks off (no sense in only one, you’ve got plenty of time) and then start again a little slower and with less force. Base soreness is something I experience every once in a while and it always means I went too long during a stretch of sessions.

Thanks. Just to clarify, I have not done any stretching, just 10-20 jelqs (that’s number of jelqs, not minutes) per day. It sounds odd that this would be overdoing it, considering it’s like 1/10th of the regular newbie routine.

The ache seems to be mostly gone today, but I’ll take a rest for a while.

Had the same thing

Am a little scared of starting up agian :/

Truthfully, this has been a PI for me. Every time I got the “dull ache” I gained length soon after…

Well, turned it the injury isn’t quite gone. Yesterday, after two days of complete rest, I felt nothing, so I had a light wank. The next day the ache was back. Looks like nothing but prolonged complete rest is gonna settle this.
