Kinda discouraged.

I started PEing Dec.18,2005 and since then have been studying and taking in vast amounts of PE knowledge. I had a couple injuries so far, both in my first week. One was from stretching too hard too frequently to the point where I couldn’t obtain an erection for a whole day the other was from jelqing WAY too hard. Today I hit 2 months PE’ing with about 10 rest days spread throughout. Earlier this evening I did my warmup as usual and when I got about 50% erect I started jelqing so hard it my arms. This of course resulted in an injury, it was extremely minor thankfully. I had a tiny red dot on the right underside of the head and it I felt pressure. Thankfully it’s better now and tomorrow I should resume my PE’ing as usual. Basically I haven’t seen any gains at all and I know erect gains might take a long time but I’m looking for some sort of indicator, such as a bigger flaccid penis but don’t see any. By the way I wet jelq for 15 minutes daily and stretch every other day for a half an hour. Well my FSL increased, bone pressed it’s 8 inches and my bone pressed erect length is 7.2 about, it fluctuates. So I take this as EL gains should soon follow but it’s not the length that I care about it’s the girth, I’m 4.5 fully erect. I just need to know if your flaccid needs to get more heavier and thicker for you to gain at all. I have had better erections too, which is a plus. Thanks.

So you had three injuries in two months?
Sounds like you seriously overdid it to me.
PE isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. :)

I usually go by what feels good and stop my PE exercises when it starts feeling bad.
I had my share of injuries as well in the past (as is to be expected, that was when I started PE).

Besides you may want to read about sparkyx PI thread (physical indicators ? dunno anymore :) ).
Having a harder erection, better morning wood or even ;) (more?) spontaneous erections throughout the day are usually signs that you are doing your PE well :)

Loosen up, relax and hang in there.. just do it in the speed your penis tells you, not what the other brain thinks it should ;)

Thanks a lot. The injury is totally gone and after this 2-day break my erections are harder than ever, which is a very good thing.

Yikes, don’t break that thing!

Single biggest thing a new guy, or any guy, can do to decrease the time to a bigger unit? Assuming that they are actually doing a consistent PE routine of course.

Don’t break that thing!

The reason you seldom here new guys posting about permanently breaking their unit’s is because we try to jump on them a bit before this happens. We watch out for subtle little signs like 3 friggin almost very nasty injuries in two months. You are going way to hard and risking permanent damage. A bigger unit is not worth a broken unit.
