Is there a trade-off?

Hi all,

It seems like I’ve gained a .25 inch in girth but lost .25 inch in length. Is that normal? Is it a temporary trade off?

I started my PE journey about 1-2 months ago with hopes of increasing girth. I was extremely skeptical but challenged myself to try it since the truth is, I had no facts that it said it didn’t work.

Prior to my start, I bought a ring to wear during sex in hopes to increase EQ. It worked great. I noticed some “residual” gains (<=.25 in) that lasted a day or so after sex and I began to think, how can I keep it up and make it permanent. That led me to google and google led me here.

I began with jelqing and noticed that the gains in girth remained w/o the ring. Although I no longer needed it, I kept wearing the ring because I enjoy the EQ and sensation. As my confidence in PE grew, I kept researching and learned about the P-shot. I scheduled an appointment and had the procedure within two weeks along with a gainswave session. Today after pumping 2x day for 10 minute sessions for the past 4 days, no jelqing for almost a month, and I took yesterday off, I noticed a decrease in length. I’ve also had sex 4 times in during the same period.

Could it be that I just need to let it rest?

My history:
Teens and 20’s - EL: ~7.5 EG: unknown (we only measured length in those days)
< 04/2020 - BPEL 6.5 x MSEG 5 - No interventions, marriage and stress.
04/2020 - BPEL 7 x MSEG 5.25 - Cock Ring during sex only.
08/2020 - BPEL 7.5 x MSEG 5.3 - Cock ring during sex only and Sildenafil (never used before July 2020, this likely contributed to length).
10/2020 - BPEL 8 x MSEG 5.3 - Cock ring occassionally, Jelqing, Sildenafil, official gains begin
12/2020 (now) - BPEL - 7 3/4 x MSEG 5.5 - Cock ring occassionally, sildenafil, pumping (2 x 10/d), p-shot (1), gainswave (1)
