Great thread. It echoes my sentiments exacly. When I first started PE, I did the newbie routine and later when I started increasing the jelqing pressure and trying manual clamping, I got my first PE injury, a hard lymph vessel on the top of my shaft. Needless to say, it scared the bejesus out of me and I had to take a long break. Ever since I have been a less is more PEer. Haven’t looked back since. I haven’t gained much because I never had consistency, but I haven’t had an injury either. I believe all my length gains came from static stretching. I now do very very light jelqs, and few of them so the lymph vessel doesn’t reappear, as soon as I overdo it by jelqing at too high am erection, it rears it’s ugly head. I am substituting part of the jelqs with pumping and we will see how it goes.
Remember, nobody knows the really long term effects of PE, and I don’t want a broken penis 15 20 years down the line. I think the best way to minimize the chance of that is to use the minimum intensity that has an effect.
