If girth first hinders length, does length first hinder girth?

Not sure how widely accepted the theory that going for girth first slows or hinders length gains, but if that is indeed the case, would going for length first slow or hinder girth gains?

You’ve been registered from 2004 what do you think.

I think it makes no difference to honest thats just from my experience though.

I’m sure you can see that length of registration isn’t equal to 1)activity on the board or 2) length of active PE.

I started out pretty long and have had a terribly difficult time achieving any girth gains, if that provides any insight. I’ve been doing PE for over 2 years now, and my 5 and 1/8 inch stat is on a good day.

Maybe some people are better length gainers, others are better girth gainers? I may be a better girth gainer but it’s kinda too early to tell because I haven’t been doing jelqing for very long. I’ve never done more than 50 jelqs. I find manual stretches far less intensive, so I have no trouble doing those. I gained another 1/8” in my head but it doesn’t seem cemented. I measured my glans with ballooning at 6.25”. It might just be temporary though. I’ll know in a few months.

I agree. I believe the tunica limits gains, and that it naturally is predisposed to some rough ratio of length to girth. If you naturally have a girth-biased tunica, you will gain girth better than length, and the reverse for length-biased. And most people are somewhere in the middle with that 6x5 ratio that can scale up or down.

Notice how most people that hang or use ADS gain girth along with the length gains using these.

I’ve never understood that.

By your thoughts, if i’m longer then average, but on the thinner side, so wanting girth more then length, it’s probably an uphill battle?

Yep, there are studies suggesting girth gains with ADS, especially in the glans area (noose-type constriction may be responsible?)like the following:

"The recent trial noted that, over a 6-month period, patients reported increases in penile length of 1-2.0 cm, with an accompanying increase in girth."

There are a few other less-biased studies posted on other threads showing gains in glans girth.

But this significant gain in girth is not seen in other studies:

"After 6 months the mean gain in length was significant, meeting the goals of the effect size, at 2.3 and 1.7 cm for the flaccid and stretched penis, respectively. No significant changes in penile girth were detected. The EF domain scores improved significantly at the end of study. Treatment satisfaction scores were consistent with acceptable to good improvement in all items, except for penile girth, where the score was either ‘no change’ or ‘mild improvement’."

I don’t think there is an absolute general rule about the gaining behaviour at all.

For example take a look at my gains. My girth and my length gains are almost equal.

You stretch out a balloon before blowing it up right? Might not be the same but I like the concept. :)

I’ve wondered this myself. As I understand it, the logic behind the length first approach is that it’s harder to stretch out a thicker dick. But, by that same logic, it should also be harder to expand a longer dick.

I also don’t think that the balloon analogy works. With a balloon, you’re just loosening up the rubber, and stretching it width-wise would be just as effective as stretching it length-wise.

I think there’s another problem with the length-first approach — a practical one. For me, a bit more girth than my goal wouldn’t be a problem, but once I’ve put on enough length to hit my wife’s cervix, I don’t want any more length — period. By gaining length first, I run the risk of adding more length then I desire while trying to hit my girth goals. If I were to gain girth first, then any extra girth gained while later putting on length would be no problem.

But look at your stats a different way- you’ve kept relatively the same length/girth ratio. I’m saying that for someone wanting only girth, it would be difficult to attain this. Looking around I’ve seen very few significant gainers who have gained only length, and even fewer who have gained only girth.

I think so. Like I’ve said, I’ve focused on girth-related exercises for over 2 years with little luck - half of my girth gains came in the first couple of weeks from increases in EQ. It’s taken me 2 years to get the other half, and it still isn’t much. I really didn’t want to get into hanging or ADS, but I’m beginning to think it’s the only way. I really don’t want a longer cock, just a thicker one, but I’m gradually giving up hope on that. I’m going to have to aim for something like 9x5.5 in order to gain in girth. My dick will always look skinny in my pessimistic opinion. Who knows, you may be different, trips.

In the german pe board I’m active in most people just gaining length or girth.
The average gaining is 2cm (0.8”) in length and 0,5-1cm (0.2”-0.4”) in girth.

Everyone is gaining different - so it’s not possible to phrase a general rule.

Do you mean that on the german board, the members are finding that they are gaining one easier than the other, or that they only focus on one at a time but it doesn’t matter which one?
