I think the graph illustrates several things nicely. As gains go up, there are fewer data points. As time goes on, there are fewer data points. Within those data points, there is a clear trend of more gains more quickly earlier on, and smaller gains taking more time after that.
Do men stop PE because they are satisfied with their gains, or because they are seeing slower and smaller gains over time? Some men have posted here that they have met their goals and decide to stop, or go to a maintenance routine. My guess is that more quit because they are not seeing further gains, or because they are seeing minimal gains from their efforts, or because getting gains is taking more time and effort than they choose to sustain.
