Looking for some direction here

Hi all!

I am new to PE. I discovered this website at the beginning of this year, and have consequently spent a lot of time here lurking. I have read a lot of the advice and information presented, and it all seems a little overwhelming to someone who is just starting out. What I am looking for is a little guidance, or a swift kick in the pants in the right direction!

I have tried jelqing and stretching now for two months. I have no measurable gains to report because I failed to take measurements when I started jelqing. All I know is I feel thicker and maybe a little longer.

What I am looking for is help on length. I am 5.75 length by 5.5 girth. The length is non bone-pressed. I just ran across the thread on LOT, but I have yet to determine my LOT number. Hard to do while at work.

Basically from what I gather, using the LOT theory as a guideline, if I have a high LOT number, then I can gain a lot of length over time from stretching the ligs down. On the other hand, if I have a low LOT number, then my best bet for length gains is stretching the tunica. Does this sound like a good summation? Knowing which way to go will be key in determining my routine.

Currently, I am warming up for about two minutes with a hot towel wrap. Then I stretch down and straight out for a couple of minutes. Then I wet jelq for about 20 minutes or so. Not really a set time. If I have the time and I feel like it, I will go longer. I usually finish with some more light stretches for a couple of minutes. I will apply a warm towel wrap for two minutes, then apply a heating pad for 15 minutes to an hour.

Just recently I purchased a cheap pump. I am still not sure if this is something that I want to work into my routine or not.

Its great to find a place like this where all this information and support is available.

Hey bdancer, welcome to thunder’s enjoy your stay.

Yep, you summed the LOT theory kinda well, as far as i understand it myself.

Dont know about the pumps, never used one, since I heard the gains are not perm, I dont think I should try, waste of time.

Welcome bdDancer,

That’ a nice starting girth!! You are probably a little over 6" Bone Pressed. I started at 5.75 BPEL x 4.5 EG last July and I am now 7+ BP x 5+ EG. Diligence and perseverance is the key. If you haven’t read this thread you need to:

Good luck!

Welcome to the board, bdancer!

First, I want you to look at the top of the forums while you’re surfing around. You see all those threads with the image of the yellow thumbtack next to them? Those are what we call stickies. Read up on as many as you can; they’re great depositories of information.

Ok, now do exactly what Ophiosaurus told you. Then, take a look at the infamous newbie routine(a fine piece, I must say). Okay, you done and ready? Good, on we go.

Now, you know how manual exercises are done and what a basic routine looks like. When you’re at home, find 5 spare minutes to stand in front of the mirror and determine your LOT. It will save you a lot (no pun intended…I can write a much better line when I rub my two brain cells together, I swear it) of trouble in the long run. Armed with your LOT and fistful of knowledge, it’s time to make a routine of your own (or simply modify the newbie routine to fit your needs). I can’t do it outright for you, but I will help you along if you so much as say the word.

Last, but not least, you have to stay dedicated to your routine. If you don’t stretch you won’t get gains. If you’re dedicated the gains will come. It’s that simple.

If you need anything else, just ask. That’s what we’re here for!

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to follow the links and take some time and absorb this information.

I tested LOT last night. From what I can tell, if I am doing it correctly, I have a LOT of around 11. I took a standing measurement, erect, and used the kegel to “pull” my penis toward my stomach. At all points from 6 to 11 there is very noticeable pull toward my stomach. At 12, or straight up, there is movement, but it actually appears as though my penis pulls downward, almost looks like it shrinks a little. Anyway, I took 11 as the last correct number.

Thanks for the help guys. I will keep you posted over the next few months! Onward and upward through the fog, so to speak.

Hey bdancer,

You need to read the LOT thread again. LOT is loss of tugback and you do it flaccid starting at twelve. Give it another try.
