As much as I try to ignore these threads, I still get pulled in. I share as much as possible just in case someone is just as skeptical as I was. Believe me, I was a huge skeptic. HUGE.
I’m going to digress for one paragraph, you can skip this if you like.
[begin digression]
Years ago, a friend and I were talking about a business opportunity and I told him that everyone that I’ve heard from that tried said opportunity, walked away saying that it was a scam. What’s up?
He responded, most people that say something doesn’t work have either not tried it or, not tried it full heartedly. But for those who follow the steps and trust the process, it almost always works. A lot of people want maximum return for minimum effort and commitment. And this applies to most undertakings in life.

Are gains real? Yes.
Are gains permanent? I don’t know.
Do you have net new gains? Yes. NBPEL: .5”, MSEG: .25”.
Explain:
I’ve never taken BP measurements before learning about PE, but I did take NBP and I was always 7”. I would occasionally take girth measurements, always behind the glans because I didn’t know any better, and they were 5.25”. So comparing my historical measurements of 7” x 5.25” to my current 7.5” x 5.625”, my net new gains are about .5” x .25”.
When I started this journey six months ago, I told myself to move forward despite my doubts and I’m glad that I did. I have gained 1.25” in length and .75” in girth (BP x MSEG: 7 x 5 -> 8.25 x 5.75 | NBP: 7 -> 7.5). However it’s true that this is not all net new gains. Starting at 7” x 5”, I had some restored size due to poor EQ and probably even low use.
I track my measurements daily because I want to see over time, at a very granular level, do gains occur and what I was doing at that time.
This is not me “selling” my routine or anything, I’m just sharing the excruciating detail of my approach because I want to know if it works and if so, why and what works.
Why don't some people gain? I don’t know. Gains changed for me along the way as I became more experienced with the exercises. I believe that my initial gains were restored size and that my net new gains began around the 5-6 month time period. This is when more advanced techniques such as bundled stretches, erect pumping, and ADS started. Over the next six to nine months, if my NBP measurements are greater than 7.5” x 5.625” then…
Sidenote:
I’ve gained 20lbs since December 2020. Back then I could hardly pump to the end of my 8” tube. Now I’m pumping to 8.75” in the 9” tube. I don’t know if my tissues stretched more, my pubic bone moved back, or what. I’ve gained weight, so I would argue that my fat pad is larger. But if it isn’t some type of growth, I don’t know why or what it is.
