Some Encouragement For Newbies And Vets.

If you’re anything like me, you love the effects of the exercises, but you find the exercises themselves to be boring and dull, and you have days where you just don’t feel like doing them.

Tonight was one of those nights for me. I like to get hard sometimes just to see how it’s looking. I was having so much trouble getting hard that the best I could do was a semi. Even using lube it took me forever to get an actual erection. I just wasn’t feeling horny at all.

Well when I did get hard it was a weak erection, but it was enough for jelqs. At first I was just going to do 150-200 instead of my usual 300. By the end of 100 I was feeling better about it. By the end of 200 it had that usual monster look and feel, and at the end of 300, it was looking huge.

I’m really glad I suck to it. I have the satisfaction of not having skipped a day, and I’m still on track to get whatever gains are coming my way. I also know that if I rationalize skipping a day it will just snowball.

Keep going, even when you don’t feel like it. You’ll be glad you did.

That’s exactly how I feel some days at the gym. Somewhere between my warm up sets and working sets I get out of my funk and then start having a good workout.

I think part of it is psychological: showing up is half the battle.

I like posts like this.

We all have our times in life where we feel discouraged. It could be something directly related to the exercise/idea/goal itself or something outside of it.

My personal struggles are many. I’m sure all can relate.

I’m glad I found this place, and I look forward to interacting more on this forum.

Let’s get it fellas.

There’s good cognitive science backing for that. Also when you change for the gym it helps put you in the right mode even if you weren’t.

Always power through guys. I’ve just had two back to back days where PE was the last thing I wanted to do. Each day I was glad I did. Here’s to a longer, thicker dick!

Big Dilly dilly!

Friday night I was feeling pretty shitty when I tried doing PE. I think it’s because I had a pizza for dinner (not substantial food and lots of sugar in the crust) and coffee (more sugar in the creamer). Felt weak. Trying to do jelqs made my arms ache. At 90 jelqs I couldn’t stimulate my penis at all without orgasm, so I gave up and let it happen.

I was extremely disappointed. Last Friday was my three month mark doing PE. Pretty shitty way to end it.

I got something to eat, for no other reason than the fact that I wanted to feel better. A few hours later I realized I was feeling just horny enough that I might be able to finish what I started. Heated up the rice sock, did a warmup, and gave it a go. Managed to do the remaining 210 jelqs and finished out the month strong. Never give up. Never stop fighting. Consistency is key.

Came back to this thread because I really do need encouragement right now. I just got done taking a week off due to over work. I really enjoyed not having PE to worry about in the evenings. More than that, I am kind of disappointed with where my gains are at. Yes, I know that four months isn’t a ton of time, but given how drastically different my penis looked compared to before I started, I thought the gains would stick more. So much of what I was seeing was temporary size due to PE. I’ve got a long road ahead of me it would seem. Now is the time to double down. Now is the time to stay committed. I’m in this for the long haul. In the end, it will be worth it! I just need to stick with it, even when it’s the last thing I feel like doing.

When I created this thread, I had recently had an evening where the last thing I wanted to do was PE, but I forced myself to do it, and I was glad I did. I post in this thread now because I am in a similar, but different situation.

I think every man who decides to do PE will eventually come to a crossroads. Keep going or quit? How important is that big penis to me? Really? This is so boring and repetitive. I want my evenings back. I’m so tired from work, and so on and so forth. I have reached that crossroads.

I am nearly five months in to regular PE now. I just want to be done already. I want to reach my goals. I’m sick of it all. Some evenings due to being tired from work, I can’t even bring myself to feel horny, and for better or worse, a large part of my ability to become aroused seems to now be tied to what I perceive my size to be. If I’m feeling small in spite of the effort, I sometimes have difficulty getting hard.

I have decided to stay the course. From here on out, it’s a matter of sheer willpower. I used to look forward to my sessions. No more. Now they are a chore, but I will keep going, because my eyes are on the goal. What about you fellow PEer? Will you give up, or will you forge ahead? Don’t give up. I won’t.

Sometimes you have to skip a day or two to get some quality rest. Quality rest is essential for your mental stamina too in the long run say 10-15 years from your PE start.

If it takes me 10-15 years to reach my goals, I’m in trouble.

You hit an important point here. I don’t want to scare you, but what you are saying is very valuable from an health perspective. Tying fun (being horny) and PE is dangerous from a psychological perspective. Just make sure to give yourself some rest and not put that much pressure on yourself.

I’ve been there and I hit a point where I could get really hard only after PEing. That’s not the right spirit. PE should be focused on sexual wellness, gains will come. It is a marathon, something more similar to good habits rather than quick sprints.

Consistency is important. That is true for both PE as well as regular sexual life. Don’t sacrifice the latter for the former. Don’t confuse laziness to what your mind and your body are telling you.

Jerk off when you feel like it, rest when you feel like it (even if it is more rest than planned), appreciate your current penis when you need it.

This is so underrated. Thank you for sharing

Well now I’m the one that needs encouragement I guess. Haven’t done PE since Thursday. Currently on a two week break. Seems a good deal smaller than I was hoping it would be. Gonna be at this for a few years it seems to get the results I want. :-(
