An Abrupt Size Loss

Interesting. I’ve just began jelqing again for the past 3 weeks, and I am noticing a visually larger (and yes I know that has little credibility) penis. This is from taking a break since 2005.

Guys, as I’ve stated before, nothing has changed in my life - certainly not during the past 2 months.

I’m not working out, not boozing, my bodyweight has been steady, not working extra hours, etc.

And, as I mentioned, my woodies are quite rigid. Don’t have a girlfriend (haven’t in a long time), but I spank it regularly - orgasms still intense, and I still pitch a mean ivory arc quite a distance.

But, the wood is shorter and, I suspect, not as thick (haven’t measured girth in a while).

I didn’t start this thread to actually debate the growth process/mechanism, but to indicate my abrupt size loss over the past 2 months. There are a lot of theories about what exactly happens - yet none of us actually knows. Yet, I do know that there are people who still spout about hyperplasia resulting in hypertrophy - even though this has only been witnessed in feline tissue, never in human.

Anyway, here’s a few interesting URLs, if you care to read it…

Weird Facts about the Body

* Three hundred million cells die in the human body every minute. While that sounds like a lot, it’s really just a small fraction of the cells that are in the human body. Estimates have placed the total number of cells in the body at 10-50 trillion so you can afford to lose a few hundred million without a hitch.
* Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. You may not think much about losing skin if yours isn’t dry or flaky or peeling from a sunburn, but your skin is constantly renewing itself and shedding dead cells.
* Every day an adult body produces 300 billion new cells. Your body not only needs energy to keep your organs up and running but also to constantly repair and build new cells to form the building blocks of your body itself.

Here’s a site that is more detailed, if anybody has the time to check it out:

>> Inside the Cell

Not in exactly the “same condition” (or aging would never occur), but I believe that for us the cell replacement would be much closer to our DNA than our PE.

Regarding the surgery following enormous weight loss…I actually know a man who was weighed at over 500 lbs, in the hospital, prior to gastric bypass surgery. And, yes, he had to get the “skin trim” 18 months after the initial surgery; however, (1) he had gained then lost an incredible amount of weight [no doubt his skin stretched more than our cocks would from PE - and was stretching for over 20 years of his life], (2) he lost that in a brief period of time - something close to 300 lbs in barely over a year.

I know a dude that went on a diet & hit the gym - he lost something like 65 lbs in a year. He still kept hitting the gym even after he was at his target weight, and his skin continued to tighten over time. Now, you’d never know that he was once around 300 lbs.

I’ve also known a few women who were smokin’ hot in bikinis, then became moms. Even though their once-flat tummies had swelled to great domes, within about a year or so of having the baby, that were back at poolside - looking awesome once again.

In other words, I believe that the stretched skin of even the fattest slobs would eventually return to normal, over time, especially if they followed even a modest workout routine. But that’s just the problem: fat slobs usually have no discipline to workout or to wait a few years for their skin to tighten up…so, just get the surgery to lose weight, then the surgery to remove the loose skin.

People in the West (America in particular) are undisciplined, fat slobs. Period. My 1/4-ton acquaintace was a prime example. He had no trouble getting to be that fat, but he needed surgery to correct it. Naturally, he would not wait any longer than necessary to shed the excess skin, so he agreed to let the doctors trim his baggy skin.

Hey Wad; not to belittle what your saying, but 1/8 inch is small enough to fall in the normal range of measurement fluctuation. I know you said you’ve measured 5 days in a row, but I also know form personal experience to get even two measurement in a row one after another to be equal isn’t even the norm. Accuracy of 1/8 inch is measuring is not easy to achieve. Also from personal experience, I know I can fluctuate as much as 1/4 of an inch while seeming completely hard and then the next day or a few days later be back to where I was before with no PE. If I were you, I wouldn’t get alarmed and just see what happens in a week or so. You may recoup that 1/8 with no effort. I certainly wouldn’t call this a trend or an abrupt size loss yet.

PS. Why the knock on Americans? There are all kinds of people here. To characterize the us all as “undisciplined fat slobs” is completely wrong and ignorant.

I know that 1/8” is not a huge amount, but I’d always been able to achieve very consistent measurements (when completely erect). I will keep measuring, however, to verifgy this.

Regarding my American comments, I am myself an American (something like 8th generation). And while I know that there are very disciplined Americans, I’m also aware of the statistics: Americans make up less than 5% of the world population, but we consume something like 80% of the natural resources. We are - undoubtedly - the most overweight county on earth (by far). We need constantly catered to, we have “life coaches,” “personal trainers,” we want everything “instant,” or drive-thru (even drive-thru funerals). We are known around the world as arrogant, ignorant, fat, voracious consumers. Btw, we also have an inordinant % of the fat surgeries done around the world.

I was not directing these comments specifically to American members of the forum, but just a general observation. Btw, over the past few years I’ve worked with a lot of foreigners (Russia, Ukraine, India, Pakistan, France, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Ivory Coast, etc., etc.), and I can really see the difference - as well as their perspective of us.

Wad how is your caffeine consumption, has that gone up? I drank coffee all my life, now if I drink it it gives me the jitters. I drink decaf.

Have you been fearful or dreading something in your life?

My recent reappearance at Thunder’s place was motivated by the same problem, I reached a maximum of 7.75” BPEL 3 years ago after doing PE for 1-2 years. I measured myself (accurately) at the beginning of the month and was shocked to see that I had lost 1”!!!

During the last 3 years, my diet wasn’t very good and I drank lots of coffee. I noticed that most of the time when I went to the toilet, my penis had turtled to its minimum size. If new cells are growing under those conditions, I’m not surprised that shrinkage occurs.

I do think that some form of PE is permanently required unless your job is a porn star and you’re getting hard 10 times per day.

I have stopped drinking coffee and drink circulation boosting teas instead, at piss time it seems at least 1” longer than before, hopefully this will help!

kingpole, dongalong,
I do drink quite a bit of coffee, but my intake has been pretty steady over quite a long time. Certainly no recent increases. While I’ve often wondered if a lot of caffeine is bad for PE, it didn’t hurt me during my first 3 years off.

Regarding any anxiety or dread…none that I can think of. Some of the vets here probably recall the bizarre tales & angst that assailed me as my marriage was crumbling, but that was long ago. For more than 2 1/2 years, the hellhag has been gone, I’ve had the kids and my finances are better than they’ve been in years (although, I still have a ways to go).

Those were good questions, but I just don’t think they apply much to me.

Sorry for the slightly off topic question, but coffee/caffiene make your penis smaller?

I’ve never noticed a difference flaccid/erect, but Kingpole swears that it makes a huge difference for his flaccid hang.

Some people are more affected by coffee than others, I drink strong expresso coffee and usually, shortly afterwards, the vasoconstriction effect of caffeine reduces the blood flow to all my extremities - my hands, feet and dick all become cold.

If I drink an energy drink it effects my flaccid size for sure and if I take a diet pill like stacker 2 it sucks the air right out of my dick and it looks like I have been swimming in cold water.

Hey Wad you will gain that size right back with a small jelqing routine.

Wad, why don’t you measure the girth too, see if that has changed. Your theory is nice, but wouldn’t we be able to, say grow an ear back once it’s cut, if it’s all in the genes? I think frogs are one example that can do that - you chop their leg of and it grows back - no jelqing or stretching!

After peaking at just over 8”NBP a few days ago I started retaining huge amounts of water, don’t know why it happens a couple of times a year. So I took a 40mg lasix yesturday and one today and well I turtled up again to 4” maybe less. Caffeine can shrink me up ab out 1/4” in length and a couple of mm in girth if I drink get over 100mg.

So about cell death and cell replication. This could also be an aging issue. We don’t have to age at the rate we are aging. Resistance exercise reverses the clock on ageing.
Green tea and Ginkgo as well Resversitol can also slow down the ageing process. Chroium picolinate also helps in this area as well as Zinc. Glutamine, arginine,lysine,carnitine. There is a lot of food out there that can slow down the ageing process as well.

When the body is stressed the telemeres become frazzed. This promotes cell death. The above list helps prevent the telemeres from becoming frazzed. Slowing down the ageing process, I watched Dr. Oz on Oprah. I only watch Oprah when Dr. Oz is on her show.
