Does your ruler cheat you?

For about two weeks now I am in a PE off-period which will last about 4 weeks in total to decondition my unit more or less completely. Hopefully completely, in order to achieve some new gains when I resume my jelq routine again. At least this is what I have learned from the past that all my modest gains showed up after a longer break or when I first started doing PE. So there must be something behind this.

Ok. I started PE with about 5.7 inches. What I thought then was: “I want at least become average, so a little bit above 6 inches.” this happened after two months of jelquing. But when I measured, I thought: “ok, now I have a 6 incher but it still looks small. I have to go on.” My target was a solid 7 inch. Till now, I havent reached it yet, though I am already PEing for a couple of years. But at least I have hit the 6.3 - 6.4 threshold. Nevertheless I think “It is still small!” Sometimes I think that even a 7 incher will be small. Hey all you guys out there: Could you calm me down? Is a 7 incher big?
Maybe it is the ruler which is playing tricks on me. Or my mind which is judging a length often differently. Or my unit has become thicker, too. And this will probably “reduce” - because of an optical illusion - a present length gain.!?
And, often my mind is especially negatively impressed when I see my flaccid length. It seems to me that nothing has changed there since my 5.7 inch time which makes me often feel that I have no (erect) gains at all. It must be all an illusion.

OK, I was just “reflecting”. I am in break now. I have a lot of time. Please do not misunderstand that.:-)

Go till you don’t grow anymore….

Sounds like you added some girth along with the length, which is to be expected from jelquing. Yes, the extra girth may make the length gains less noticable, visually, but remember that most women care more about girth than about length, so if you’re concerned about sexual satisfaction and not just appearance, you should be very happy.

Concerning 7 inches, yes, that is definitely big, if npb. If you meant bone-pressed, it’s still above average.

5.7 is average and 7 is almost big

In truth whether 5.7 or 9 inches as long as you use it and make you and your partner happy it doesn’t make any difference. Men are competitive and conquerors by nature so it seems that we want more. I have often thought if the last 1/2 inch would ever come and when it did then what? What would I do if I had 12 inch like DLD. You couldn’t walk down the street naked( although I’d be tempted to). I think the challenge is important in life to keep one looking forward to a new day. Good luck on your growth, keep trying, but don’t stress out and die of a heart attack.

I believe 5 to 5.5 is average, and anything above 6 is getting on the big side! 7 is big unit BPEL or NBPEL, I don’t care what anyone says! 7 is big my friend! I think 8X6 is an ideal size, and when I say that, I mean that’s it, any bigger would probably be surplus! But to everyone there own! If you got 12, hell yeah, you got some serious ass bragging rights, but what woman is going to take that? Not many!

Trust the ruler. I never noticed the oak tree growing near my house untill one day it struck me that it had grown from this tiny scrub into a tree that is now taller than I am.

You see your penis every day. And since you’re into PE you probably see it more often than most people. So you don’t notice the gains. Daedalus made the same point. Small increases over time add up to big increases. But along the way it might not feel like it. I was stunned when I woke up one day and actually thought that I was bigger even though the ruler had told me I was.

Mig,

You are letting your mind fuck with you right now, just like we all have at one time or another. Take the break you need and then start over with a vengeance. You will see a difference. Hang in there.

That brings up a point though. Have you considered hanging or pumping to add to your routine. You might see some gains that you haven’t seen in a while. Just a thought.

I like the guy a lot, but DLD is NOT 12 inches. More like 8-9”.

If you count the extra 4 inches the ruler gains with his “kidney press” technique, than yes, he is 12 inches.

Is DLD’s picture in here? I did a search on it, but couldn’t find a link, just curious to see it, because the mention of him keeps popping up.

thanks,
SM

Thanks, I found it, I didn’t know DLD was an abbreviation for his Double Long something name.

“Go till you don’t grow anymore….”
—> Very funny.
I am a hard gainer. Maybe I have to PE 20 years to see the same results as the fast gainers here on Thunders.

Para-Goomba:
“Girth Gains”: Maybe there are some. I have never checked it, before and now.
“7 inch nbp”: Ok, than this is my goal. But it will be a long and tough way for me to this “summit”.

One question in between:
“How do you measure your flaccid length?” You measure the length of your dick when it hangs more or less straight down, or you hold it horizontally and measure then.

Starter7777:
What is average is often very realtive. But I would agree: everthing around 15 cm +/- 1cm is average. And, I think, that this is the size that most guys have. The London = condom manufactorer survey said that the average size of a man’s dick is around 16 cm. I would say that at least 50 or 60 % of the men who took part have a size of 16 cm +/- 1cm. It is the same with average gasoline consumption of the cars. Here in Europe the average value is around 8 liters. Of the whole car fleet. When I read car magazines and take a look on the consumption of the presented cars than I see often values very close to the average one. So here also I assume that 60 % of the cars consume 8 l +/- 2 l (let’s say “2”).
Very good compare or illustration, isnt it? :-)

I think with your first statement your are absolutely right.
Hanging and pumping: They have played already a big part in my PE carreer. But all the modest gains I have seen came from jelquing. Wait, I am reflecting …. Yes, all my gains came from jelquing. I do not know why. Ofen I here other guys here stating that they had exremely big gains from hanging. But not me. Unfortunately.

Thanks a lot for all your answers.
As I said before: I am in a break now. I have time. time to do other things and, unfortunately, think too much of my PE carreer up to now and my future PE carreer.

I don’t know if it’s the ruler persay; I can never get an accurate flaccid measurement or erection measurement.
