It will be enough?
If you had penile surgery, you’d be on swelling medication (I use ibuprofen and naproxen, or you can get something from the doc) and would need full rest for two to four weeks, including masturbation and sex. Eight weeks would be the outside number for a full surgical recovery. That would be a very aggressive decon.
But if we treated it as a sprain, we see rest for a week or two before we resume moderate activity — and especially we begin to stretch and work the joint after the swelling has subsided within the first week — and a six to eight week total resting period. Ice and medication would promote faster healing.
In both cases, we can resume moderate activity after a couple of weeks, and in both cases we need four to eight weeks total recovery time in order to fully heal. But again, since this is ~not~ as severe an injury as a sprain, and certainly (hopefully) not as severe as surgery, I imagine one or two weeks with very little activity would work, then another couple of weeks with moderate activity. Three months would be a very, very long decon, and would even be sufficient for a surgical or severe injury recovery period. I personally would not take off that long, because I would want to maintain the gains. Any sort of ligament recovery plan involves stretching soon after surgery, in order to prevent tightening, but that is your call.
So my decon plan is one week of no sexual or masturbatory activity (no intentionally induced erections), followed by a week of moderate to light activity and some very light stretches and squeezes. After the second week, I’ll base decon on PI and whether I feel fully healed. I will supplement with ice and swelling medication, which I already use on my growth (non-working) days to speed healing.
I don’t believe you need more than two to four weeks, unless you have severely injured your penis. But in the end, it will be a matter of listening to the PI. Test every week or so and see how it feels. Listen to your body. That’s the right answer always, not what some knucklehead posts on a website. Maybe three months is your magic number!
