Hey Dizz!
Like yourself I am a sceptic of most things, and I tend to critically analyze all of the time. When I first started to research jelqing, I found a number of sites which posted ridiculous statistics regarding gains. The common factor with all these websites was that they wanted the reader to subscribe to their jelq routine. In other words, money was the motivator.
Before I found Thunder’s Place, I did uncover some jelq routines which were free, and started my jelqing journey. Within three months, I was no longer a sceptic. I gained or re-gained 1/2” in non-bone pressed length, and my mid-shaft girth increased by 1/4”, same with base girth. While I may have only regained age related length loss, the girth is new to my penis. My only remaining concern is that my erections are still, in my opinion, weak. I would like rock-hard erections, but this has still proved illusive. Kegels have had only a mild effect on my erections.
My routine is moderate, involving no extremes in duration or devices. In fact, I typically jelq and pump two days on, one day off. However, there are times when I take an extra day or two off from my routine. This actually encourages growth. I will qualify my statement about girth gains, in that my penis’ girth fluctuates from a 1/8” gain mid-shaft to 1/4” gain. That I still can’t explain.
After four months of disciplined jelqing, I am no longer a sceptic of the practice. Unfortunately I don’t have photographic evidence of my gains. I do have anecdotal evidence, however. My girlfriend and I only see each other a few days a month. She is temporarily in another city. For the past couple months, every time we engage in sexual activity, she says, “Look at you! You’re so big!” She now spends a lot of foreplay time just playing with my penis and looking at it. We met two months before I began to jelq, and she never made these kinds of comments at first.
In closing, I know jelqing works for me. My goals are realistic, I don’t over-train my penis, and I am patient. Dizz, give it a few months and see for yourself.
All the best!
