Some basic questions from a newbie

Hello, I first stumbled upon Thunder’s Place a couple months ago and up until the new year I experimented with little consistency with some of the newbie routine. After a month I noticed no gain although it appeared that my flaccid size seemed to be meatier than usual. My lack of gaining is based on my measurement of BPEL. As a new year’s resolution I decided to stick to the newbie routine exactly and I started last week and hope to continue for some time. I understand that gains are not to be expected without consistency and patience. My questions mostly revolve around manual stretching and also the fact that my flaccid penis seems to sometimes be fatter even the day after a jelqing session.

1) Is a sporadic increase in flaccid length a sign that erect gains are soon to come? Did others notice similar results when first starting PE?

2) When doing basic manual stretching I have noticed several things. I have a much easier time gripping and maintaining a stretch when holding further down the shaft of the penis rather than right next to the head or glans. I can feel a good ligament stretch in all directions when I use this approach which I’m thinking is positive. What I’m concerned about is stretching the entire penis or I guess the tunica because I think I have a fairly low LOT. When I think about any stretch I don’t see how I can stretch the entire penis without being at the glans or head however this grip is somewhat uncomfortable not to mention hard to maintain.

I’ve checked out many posts and tutorials and know there are many stretches to explore but in terms of basic stretching to start with, should I try to find a method to grip the glans and get a “full” penis stretch? Am I right in thinking that you can only stretch parts of the penis which are below your grip point? Or should I just focuses on the ligs for the first month or two and perhaps mix in some of the other types of stretches here and there as I progress?

Thanks for the help, this seems like a really valuable forum for a lot of guys!

Well :-k I don’t know what that’s about but here’s what I think.

Firstly I think that your stretching method is OK, I think your getting a good stretch and should be able to get right stretch in all directions the way your doing it.

I would tell you not to pay too much attention to the LOT theory, it’s just a theory after all, and it hasn’t helped me a whole lot.

When upcoming gains are concerned, myself and a lot of other members feel that you will see some improvement in your BPFSL before you get some erect gains. Keeping track of your BPFSL is also a good way to keep track of positive and negative indicators, so you know if what your doing is actually working.

Remember to search your queries, read a lot, and PE safe.

I’ve found when stretching since I’m uncut, the only way to get a good grip is to pull the foreskin back and get a grip under the glans. Otherwise I just seem to be stretching my foreskin.

I think fowfers are more suitable for uncut gents than cut gents.

I tried looking around but haven’t been able to figure out what everyone is referring to when they say cut versus uncut. Is this referring to circumcision?

Yes.

This is generally considered THE short term test of how well your routine is going. Some call it fluffy, spongy or whatever.

Remember how it feels and looks as this is excellent!

If you keep your routine so that this is happening, I bet you get gains.

If you lose that feeling, then you might need to do less jelqs or take extra days off. I think you are on the verge of finding the “perfect” routine for your penis.

I doubt you would have to increase the intensity, but if a week or two of reducing doesn’t get that “fatness” back, then you will have to consider it.

What does BPFSL mean? I see it everywhere but I’m having a hard time finding the definition using the search button.

Bone Pressed Flaccid Stretched Length. We do have a glossary of terms, I just can’t find it at the moment.

Found it: Penis Enlargement Glossary

Thanks!

Really Kingpole? How do you figure? Are you uncut?
