Growth just from masturbation technique?

Hey all. So first of all, I’d like to say that this is all theoretical. I have no idea if any gain in size I’ve had over the past few years is due to this, or even real. That said, I’m a very feminine man, which I’m actually very happy about, and I even got prescribed antiandrogens to maintain it. That makes it all the more strange that in the past six months, I’ve gotten the notion that I’ve grown and gotten veinier. I don’t really care about my size because I’m primarily submissive, but I do dislike the new veins.

And I’ve never even done intentional PE. Could my technique for stroking myself be the cause?

If you just recently started masturbating and just recently had penis growth, they may be related. If you have masturbated for a long time and just recently had growth, then no, they are unlikely to be related.

I only recently noticed it. No idea how long it’s been going on.

If masturbation only would make a dick bigger some of the porn and sex addicted guys here would all have monster cocks lol.

That’s a very good point. I just thought I maybe had been unintentionally jelqing for 10 years.

Many of the PE techniques people have used with success could be described as masturbation techniques, so I don’t see why that wouldn’t be a possibility.

I’ve looked into that idea, that masturbation technique can cause changes to penis size and shape and it seems likely to me, but I haven’t verified any of it with experimentation.

What antiandrogens have you taken, how long were they taken, what dosage, and how long ago from the onset of penile changes? What was your previous size? What is your current size?

There is a correlation I’ve noticed between some transgendered women and penis size. With some trans women having abnormally large penises, but it could be a statistical illusion like so many others. My thoughts on that, if there was something about their lifestyle, physiology, or medications that caused penis growth, is that it is being caused by their tendency to tuck their penis back behind their leg while masturbating causing the penis to become hyper-erect and/or some medication they are taking is causing a change to androgen receptor (or anything in the androgen cascade) to be regulated differently. The correlation between tucking the penis behind the leg while erect bears out in non-trans individuals as well, but it’s possible they do this simply because they had a larger penis to begin with since a shorter penis does not tuck behind the leg easily.

Do you masturbate by tucking your erect penis behind your leg?

Androgens and estrogens do play a part in the signals of vascular remodeling and there is anecdotal (very weak in this case) evidence of “anti-androgens” used in prostate cancer sometimes correlating with significant penis growth upon stopping their use. For others, probably most, it seems to cause lasting penile problems and shrinkage. So the prostate cancer medications may not be causing the penis growth, but actually the post prostatectomy penis pumping caused the growth, which seems more likely to me.

I’ve been taking 50 mg of spironalactone a day for 6 months. I am not pumping, I have a healthy prostate (which also may have grown slightly) and I’m around 6.75 BPEL. I think I was 5.75 the previous time I had checked, but that was a year or two ago.

My technique is a rather firm grip stroking “conventionally.” I remember once getting burst capillaries years ago.

Another possibility is that I may still be getting natural puberty growth, or have weird genetics that respond in reverse of conventional logic to spironalactone in one specific area only.

I don’t know too much about that medication, I’ll have to do some reading into it to see if there is anything relevant to penis growth. One thing that stands out to me looking over the wikipedia page though right now is that it affects circulating potassium levels. Interestingly enough, potassium regulation plays a role in a phenotypical switch in smooth muscle cells (injury tends to release a lot of salts into interstitial plasma). This kind of thing is notoriously complicated though due to salts moving in and out of cells causing changes to other salt levels, so no easy conclusions can be drawn just from that.

It’s also an androgen receptor antagonist.

It’s got a wide range of known enzymes it inhibits, definitely not a designer molecule. Oh, this is interesting, it causes compensatory upregulation of steriodogenesis. So maybe after you stop taking it your testosterone and DHT levels shoot off the chart. Now I’m definitely interested in how this stuff works.

It’s got lots of metabolites that are thought to be the active molecule in its function.

The tanner scale seems to be a generalization of puberty. And often when it comes to various treatments there are rebound effects, sometimes ones that come before the treatment ends because of tolerance to the medication.

How old are you currently?

Gripping the penis tightly at the base and stroking it I think may count as a kind of clamping to most people here.

I’m 24. And I haven’t stopped taking it and had a DHT spike or anything, I’m still consistently taking it.

Masturbation for more than lets say 20 mins its a form of edging.

If you do it almost every day for quite some time your dick will reach its biggest natural limits because it will improve the EQ and all the chambers in there will be able to hold a little more blood.

But genuine gains can not happen from that. Just a fuller dick and that s all.

And when you stop doing it… u will also lose the fullness.

So I found another interesting thing about spironolactone, since it competes with aldosterone and aldosterone enhances contraction of SMC from noradrenaline, spironolactone maybe places the vasculature in a more relaxed state.

I just realized I just unnecessarily retraced the functional mechanisms of spironolactone as a antihypertensive. I should have focused on reading about it as an antihypertensive first. Well, I enjoyed putting together the puzzle pieces anyway.

Something I noticed recently, when I grip my penis a certain way and jerk it, my glans get fuller similar to when I jelq.

It makes sense because it imitates the dry jelq motions.
