Length gained, but girth decreased

Hi guys, since I started the routine, I have noticed a noticeable gain in length by measuring, which is good news!

However, my girth midshaft when measured seems to have decreased a very tiny bit. Is this normal? While I do not want a 7inch girth, I was quite happy with by 5.5inch girth. Now it seems to be hovering between 5.4 inch and 5.5 inch.

Advice is much appreciated!

I don’t think a potential 0.1 inch drop in girth is an issue to worry about at all.

Continue your routine. It should seem adding length THEN girth is the best way forward anyhow.

Report back at a later date, I just think your girth has probably remained the same and the 0.1” issue is a measurement error.

Maybe, since you’ve gained length, you’re not measuring at the same spot because the middle spot is now in another place. :P
If you’re measuring at the base then discard what I’ve just said.

Anyway I think that it’s difficult that you’ve lost girth size just by begginning the newbie routine. :)

5.4/5.5” is what a lot of guys here are aiming for. Variations are normal, and can come down to that last tiny bit of erection level, stress, etc. Don’t worry about slight variations over the short term. If you have lost .2” in another month, let us know and we can give it some serious thought, because it would be very unusual.

For now just stick with the Newbie Routine and don’t worry about it. Better still, don’t measure at all for a month.

Thank you all for the help guys!

I notice another thing, and that is my penis shrinks considerably after a hot wrap. I usually leave it on for 7-10mins. Is it because my hot wrap is too hot? And would it affect my gains?

It won’t affect gains. Experiment with different temperatures and times. I usually find a wrap which can gently heat right through my penis in 5 mins is about right for temperature, but these days I use an IR lamp, so I just move closer to or further from it based on instinct.

Does your penis shrink regardless of the hot wrap after your PE? If it does you may be overtraing it, i.e. it may be the PE not the hot wrap.

Ok I will observe again. Tomorrow’s my rest day so will only have results 2 days later.

Right after the training there is no shrinkage observed, only when I put the hot wrap on. After I take it off, it becomes back to normal after awhile.

Your wrap may be a little hot then.

Whats the optimum temperature for the wrap to be?

Have I caused any lasting damage with my too hot wrap? :(

EDIT: There is no pain from the heat though, feels warm and moist actually.

I had the same thing happen when I first started. I lost 1/8 of an inch but I made it back up in no time!

I’m just a little worried by what firegoat said.. Whats the optimum temperature range for a hot wrap.. Maybe I just have a high tolerance to heat. Anyone knows? Help is much appreciated!

I’m with you here. I just put is as hot as I can stand it.

Girth: I think there may be some fluctuation - some days simply better than others. I just went through a week or so where my girth measurements were down by 1/4”. A few days rest though and I’m back to where I was before. I guess what I am trying to say is that I wouldn’t worry too much about a .1” change until it becomes a consistent loss over a period of time.

Heat: if there is no pain, then there should be no damage. I like my wraps as hot as the hot water faucet will make them. There is also no evidence that the shrinkage is due to the wrap. Your penis could be shrinking as part of its healing process. Again, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Diplomatico:

I see that you are a September 2007 member. How long have you been following the routine?

Congratulations on your noticeable gain in length. My guess is that your girth may be decreased very slightly and temporarily due to your length increase. My guess is that your girth will catch up in short order. Experiences here have been that it is nearly impossible to gain length without GAINING girth. There have been members who just wanted more length and were perfectly satisfied with their girth (or who really wanted to AVOID more girth), but there are no ‘length only’ or ‘girth only’ exercises.

It’s a common newbie concern here that stretching exercises will leave them with a long but very slim penis. This has not ever happened to the best of my knowledge.

Thank you for the response everyone!

Lampwick, I been following the routine for about 3 weeks now, but prior to that I have kegeled very frequently. Thank you for your wonderful advice. It really helps put my mind at ease.
