Wassup Gentlemen,
This is my first post but I’m a long time lurker. Was always interested in increasing my size but never had the opportunity to due to lack of privacy, time, or just plain laziness. I’ve been gaining a lot of information by looking through this site, for which I would like to express my gratitude to whomever started it and active members who have imparted their wisdom upon. I got my own place so I’ve delved a little into PEing over the last few months but never got really disciplined with it. I started with the Newbie Guide but lowered the number of jelqs to 80 to start. My first PE session, I warmed up in the shower, then did manual stretches in my room with the tv on. 4 sets of 30 second stretches in 4 directions (Inverted V-Stretches, Down, Left, Right). I completed my 80 jelqs, and feeling great about my first full PE session, I decided to use that enthusiasm (and already erect penis) and added my own exercise. I would get my erection to 100% (or close to it) and, using the OK grip, grip the base of my penis as reasonably hard as possible and hold for 10 seconds. I know there’s a name for this exercise but I can’t recall. I did about 4 or 5 x 10 second holds. When I washed up afterwards, I immediately saw red dots on my glans. I read that red pin pricks on the head is not necessarily a negative PI so I continued the workout for about a week and 1/2 further. During this time, I started to see a decrease in my EQ so I laid off PE for a week or so.
I read another article by member “Kevin-something” where he was experimenting with lower jelq #s; starting around 60. He also mentioned a “slightly stronger than masturbatory”-grip. Upon reading that, I realized that my previous grip was too strong when jelqing. So using this method, I started doing 60 wet jelqs and increased to 120 over the course of a month, still not PEing regularly; maybe 2 sessions a week. Another thing I had a problem with was manual stretches; I seemed to be gripping too hard. I felt like it was too strong, but that’s the only way I could get a good stretch so I kept it. I’ve recently been busy so I haven’t PE’d in about a week and a half but just a couple days ago have noticed a substantial increase in EQ. I’ve been getting night wood like crazy and it often wakes me up at night. This wasn’t happening prior to the break. I also usually drink a fair amount of water before sleeping and I’ve heard that night wood sometimes occurs because the bladder is full and it is preventing you from wetting yourself because it’s hard to urinate with an erect penis. I’m just hoping that any increase in the frequency and intensity in night wood is a positive thing. I’m thinking that the 1 1/2 week lay off has returned my penis to a healthy state but who knows.
In any case, I read the NEW Newbie Routine and it made sense to start at a very low jelq range. I felt like my previous workouts were too hard on my penis. Another article “Is LESS more or MORE more?” got me thinking; I workout at the gym and over the course of the past 10 years, I’ve finally come to realize that my body responses to the “LESS is more” thinking. So last night I started with 20 quality wet jelqs (3+ seconds each) and have cut stretching out of my routine. I plan to continue the NEW Newbie Routine for the next month or two and wanted to start a Progress Log but found out that I need at least 31 posts to start. But I think it’s important to have a log so that I’m held accountable and it’ll be interesting to go over it in the coming months and see how much progress I’ve made. I know, I know veterans: PE takes time. I don’t have illusions of grandeur and expect to see gains of 3+ inches in a matter of months. I’d be ecstatic to gain 1/2” in a year. But I’m willing to stick with it and just follow the Newbie Routine for a while.
Sorry for the extremely long post and thank you for having the patience to read it all. I’m excited for my journey into PE. As soon as I’m allowed, I hope to keep a log of my progress. Until then, I’ll be around the boards, working my way to 31 posts! ;)
