Interesting thread,…
I came to/upon PE more or less by accident. I had always had a left curve and had suffered the ridcule of a woman in my mid 20’s. This wrankled and bothered me for many years until in my mid 30’s I tried a pump which was completely unsuccessful and actually quite unsuitable for correcting a curve. Strangely, I was never preoccupied by size itself and never measured!
About 10 years ago when I had constant access to the internet I happened on adescription of ‘jelquing’ and realised that I had already tried this in the shower albeit with a sideways bias to try to instinctively correct the curve. From then on I attempted to seriously work every day to ‘balloon’ on the opposite side to the curve in an attempt to develop that side to compensate.
About 4 years ago I discovered this great site and have been a regular watcher and PE’er ever since.
I do still have a slight left curve but much less that before. Unfortunately, I never made any measurements untill quite recently but I AM considerably larger than before mainly in girth,…In the last 4 years or so I gained about 3/4 inch at the base which I have measured but the overall gain in girth is approx 1.5 inches in the last 8 or 9 years and I am now about 6.5 inches circumference at the base. I am also longer by a modest amount.
So, to answer the question; I was about 52 when I started serious PE and I’m now 60.
