Growing by leaps and bounds

Forgive me father, for I have not PE’d in about 7 months. I have not lost any length gains.

I started PEing in April of 2005, and went from 6.5” to 7.25” (both BP) by about November. My girth went from just under 5.5” to just over 5.5” I tapered off PE in December of 2005… and quit before the new year.

I measured last night, and my stats are just where I left off. I was expecting at LEAST a 1/4” length loss. I just thought I’d add my experience into the mix. My flaccid hang is shorter by about an inch, though.

Blah Blah Blah: Around last December I was becoming dissatisfied with my life and my partner, and realised that I needed to do some serious personal growth. I quit PE to commit myself fully to it, and after some serious search and study, I found some keys that really worked for me. If I thought everybody was the same, I’d tell you what those keys were, but we each have our own seperate paths, and our own seperate combinations to get on it. So I’m not going to get on a soapbox about it. Suffice it to say….

PE is great. It really IS a form of self-improvement. PE taught me that I really DID have the determination to stick to a protocol if it was really important to me. In fact, the experience prepared me for the next part of my journey in life regarding my emotional growth. Having a bigger dick didn’t make me a better man, but the process sure did.

Frankly, the personal growth resulted in more and better sex than the bigger dick did. Go figure! Still, I’ve met some of the best guys here, and I’ve spent the last month wondering what - within reason - is possible regarding penis gains.

So, my question is this: Who else her has found that PE was a seemingly unrelated stepping-stone in their journey?

That is a great statement. I enjoy PE for the sake of PE. It is a hobby like anything else. I hope I get bigger but if I don’t I won’t consider it to have been a waste of time.

I think it has improved me in my life in a lot of ways and I am glad I have had the oppertunity to meet so many cool people here. PE power! ;)

I find the drive to PE and the desire to see results to be obsess-able. But it’s a good obsession, but I am really impatient which can sometimes make me sad :( .

Personally, I’ve found that PE has helped me learn more about myself. It’s taught me how to be patient as well as how to be a better and more patient lover/man. I used to think that it was all about the size of the boat, but there’s so much more to it than just a big dick, and it took me a long time to realize this.

I have had several people ask me why I am here (and it clearly isn’t because I am naturally well hung).

This is the last place on earth I would have thought to find inspiration to become stronger/wiser than I was when I started.

I don’t know what has happened to you Slender, but I hope it is real. Aside from lessons in patience, perseverance and such (all worth something), I have learned more about what I personally believe. Some of the more religious threads have given me an opportunity to share my ideas an take some serious flak for them. I live for that kind of test.

Probably NOT what you were thinking when you started the thread…

I have also learned to appreciate people for completely different backgrounds. There are some really interesting personalities on this board, it has been fun to sort them out and laugh at some of their great posts, or ponder some of the more profound issues with them.

I won’t be able to hang around here forever…so I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can.

The Thunders experience is about a special camaraderie that develops with other men willing to talk about the most preciously pleasurable part of a man’s anatomy under the protection of complete anonymity. When men are able to talk freely about life viewed through a lens affecting the most masculine feature of their bodies, a special bond develops. There are people on this website who have special giftings and insight into what it truly means to be a man and who know and understand what women want from us as men. In a very private sense, we men are our dicks. Publically, we are so much more. The ability to see into the private world of other men and share joys and sorrows, with some degree of decorum and propriety, is another factor that makes this website meaningful and that makes this website tick. I think that is why I return to this website again and again.

I guess this is more related to the benefits of Thundersplace than to PE, but I share this sentiment. I never discussed or had the opportunity to discuss gay issues with gay guys, as well as religous issues with people of all different religons and athiests, middle east issues with jews and muslims, sex issues with studs, virgins, and women, politics with people from all around the world, etc. The opportunity to learn and expand your awareness of the world is really incredible on this one web site.
Has it made me a better person? Definitely.

This is so true! Long live Thunderss!

Hey guys, many good observations. My question WAS about the PE journey, but it really is about the ThundersPlace journey, isn’t it? In fact, my hiatus from PE was preceded by a personal discussion I started in the Life/Loving section.

In the day to day world, I feel that there might be an attempt to exploit me if I discussed any confusion, weakness, or uncertainty. In the “real” world, true mentors and true peers are very hard to find. They’re all around this place, though. You learn very quickly to appreciate somebody who is VERY different from yourself.

Totally unrelated to my question is the observation that there is an irony in the fact that our masks of anonymity that hides our identities yet, reveals it.
