Some Complicated Questions coming from a Beginner to PE

Dear Community of Thunder’s Place,

For the past two years I’ve known of this site, examined the plethora of information on here, and now for the first time in my life I’m interested in becoming truly dedicated to improving the health of my unit. I’m going to be honest here, maybe I’m being insecure or otherwise (not trying to get too personal here but as men you’ll see my concern), I had an argument with my ex because she was bragging about getting banged out by another dude. This guy was apparently uncut and she said something along the lines of “feeling the difference” between us because he was uncut whereas I am cut. Long-story short this made me feel like absolute sh*t for a little bit but instead of bringing me down has made me quite motivated. I have a few questions on a few different topics that should probably be in a different forum, but as a beginner I was only able to post here. I’ll list them as bullet points to make them somewhat easier to address:

1.) I’ve recently began a variant of the “Newbie Routine” where I’m basically warming-up for 5-10 minutes with warm water, performing manual stretches, and then performing Jelqs, followed by a warm-down of another 5-10 minutes. I’ve been starting with manual stretches in each direction, and then a sort of “rotary” stretch that goes counter-clockwise and then clockwise. I do 30 seconds of each stretch,. And then have been beginning with 50 Jelqs using Canola Oil as a lubricant. Does this sound like a decent cycle so far? How would you recommend I increase repetitions and such over time? Is two days rest between workouts too much, too little? Any feedback on this as I begin a routine is greatly appreciated as the main takeaways I’ve learned are that Heat is Key, to be careful of Over-training, as well as to “listen to your body” sort of say.

2.) This one is probably a little more controversial. This sh*t my Ex had said had me quite bothered I’m going to be honest, I never thought twice about being circumcised in my life until I heard this and then I got lost in google with the various processes of “Foreskin Restoration”, has anyone here had personal experience with this process through strictly manual means? Is this actually possible? Would it restore a degree of feeling I otherwise would not have? Would it make my glans healthier? And the three most important questions I have regarding this, can a Foreskin Restoration routine affect potential gains from Penis Enlargement Exercises negatively? If this would be beneficial could anyone recommend a manual routine or point me in a direction appropriate for a beginner, and also would it help if I provided an image of my unit to kind of develop a game-plan as what stretching would work and how severe my circumcision was? And also probably most importantly, am I simply over-reacting to what she had said, was she just being an a**hole? I mean I want to be the best man I can be and I want to know if it would be worth allocating time to this alongside traditional PE. Under no circumstance would I want to compromise actual gains in length and girth for getting back some skin, but if I can do both - I’m willing to commit fully to both routines.

3.) Has anyone had significant experiences with pumping? If so would you recommend a pump as a beginner and would it assist in gains alongside a consistent manual routine?

I’d also like to give a thanks to all you guys on here, as someone who is an avid believer in self-improvement - I truly believe anything is possible when one dedicates the time and willpower, whether that is making one’s unit as big as it can be or anything else in life. Thank you for giving life to such a vibrant and informative community of people.
If it helps at all, especially in regards to helping me select a pump - my measurements currently are 6.5” BPEL and 5” Girth, my long-term goal is 7.6” by 6”.
Any information at all, any routines you can recommend alongside the Newbie Routine in achieving my goals would be extremely appreciated. If I could look back 4,5,6 even 7 years from now and say “Hey, because I put the time in then I got this back and more now” I’d be ecstatic, and I’m willing to do what it takes to get there - just looking for a bit guidance to help me on my path.

Sincerely,
BiggaBigga

You can experiment downgrading to one day off instead of two. Giving that routine, two consecutive rest days looks too slacky. Before making any move, check your PI.

Remember that all changes should be moderated by you, we just fill the gaps with ideas along with the content that is already up inside the forum. Only you will know when to advance or retreat.

As far as ratcheting up the routine, in my experience you must listen to your body. On paper a linear routine looks great.. start with 5 min add a minute each week until you are helping for 6 hours lol… But your body will definitely let you know what is up.

That ex of yours was being a shitty human being. They exist.

Foreskin restoration along side PE is possible. There was a great thread on here where the guy fully restored his foreskin while making great gains. I think manual skin stretches can help the process along but having a device like the DATE or the TLC tugger is the way to go. It takes a long time. I stared and gained a bit of shaft skin but fell off the wagon of wearing the device. I recently began wearing it again.

I’ll do my best to address #2 since I’ve been restoring my foreskin since before I knew about PE (20 years ago). If it weren’t for PE gains, I’d be fully covered by now. As it is now, I have a lot of skin motility when erect, and am usually at least partially covered when flaccid.

Yes, a woman will have a different experience with an intact penis. The skin is supposed to glide over the glans during sex and that’s completely different to what she would experience without the skin. It makes handjobs and BJ’s much easier for her and sex is much less abrasive. It’s certainly possible that she found out that an "uncut" penis is better for her. That doesn’t excuse her crappy behavior and what she said to you about it.

For the guy, there’s about 20,000 nerve endings lost in a typical circumcision which greatly affects what he feels during sex/stimulation. While you can’t recover those nerves or sensations, you can greatly increase the glans sensitivity by keeping it covered and the feeling of skin gliding is really nice.

Does foreskin restoration interfere with PE or vice versa? I don’t think potential PE gains are affected at all as long as you can get your planned routine in. Some methods of foreskin restoration would complicate getting both done. If you were to use T-tape, it would have to be removed in order to do your regular PE routine. If you stick with manual methods, it would just be a matter of getting everything into your schedule. Of course, any PE gains would make your restoration take longer.

I recommend a manual routine and do it daily while sticking with your on off schedule for PE. Check out this website for tons of info and routines.

I posted a picture of my flaccid coverage a couple of days ago in my "going for more" thread in the pictures and progress forum. It was right after removing my ADS type device that tugs my skin down towards my knee. I’ll post a picture of it in use if anyone shows some interest.

Welcome to Thunder’s and best of luck!

It’s funny to me that some men are offended by the idea of restoring their foreskin. As if it points to the reality that they lost something worth valuable

You can pump as a newb but have to keep the pressure low(easy to go overboard..) to 2-3hg

They would rather put me in a mental hospital than consider what has been lost due to their parent’s decision to have their body modified without their consent.

If a guy decided to have himself circumcised, I hope he’s doing it for his own reasons and not pressure from someone else.

I lost my foreskin due to an(non PE) injury that created a scar and then decided to do the OP.

The only better thing is that you don’t have the smegma issue which of course can be alleviated with keeping clean.
Other then that it’s a lot better with foreskin and I wouldn’t do that to my kids for no medical reason(which as cited by the circumcision lobby are mostly B.S.!)!

I think its genital mutilation if done to kids. I might try to get mine “back” later on too.
