Is mine too small?

Nothing like a “gotcha” title, eh?

Actually I’m referring to my ~ recently-revamped web site.

In my mind, brevity is king (gratuitous note: this goes back to a letter I received from E. B. White as a student; awesome!), so my main goal has been to provide the most concise overview and instruction possible, and deliver it in a friendly and readable way, pointing the way for further exploration/info, including people who need/want someone else to tell them to do this so many times, and that so many times, so many times a day.

I’ve been so immersed in learning responsive web design (making it mobile-friendly), creating graphics, reviewing stuff I’ve put online for the last umpteen years (thanks, Thunder, for saving all that crap ;-), editing and editing some more, that I almost feel at this point that I can’t see the forest for the trees. I certainly can’t look at it through someone else’s eyes.

So I’d like to ask the community here (this means you, but “community” has a warm and fuzzy feel) to take a few minutes to view it with a critical eye:

• Is it too short? Overly simplistic?
• If so, what questions does it raise for you that remain unanswered?
• Do you feel you need more guidance than I provide?
• If you were (or are) a newbie, what feeling do you take from it?
• Does is have any unnecessary/random content? (Hands off David and Nureyev; I freaking love that image despite its patent gratuitousness, and it will remain there until I get tired of it.)
• (Enough about me. What do you think of my David and Nureyev image?)
• Does the site contain inaccurate or misleading content? (Pumper bait ;-)
• I’ve always considered addressing emotional issues important (“Know thyself”); is that too much or not enough?
• Is the “Other guy stuff” of any value to you?
• I used to have “My story.” Does elaborating my background story (as in the past) add anything to the site and your experience of it?
• From what you see, is there an area you’d like me to explore further?

I don’t want you to be an expert, just yourself; very much appreciate your honest feelings (and expertise if you are indeed an expert).

~ So go. Do it. Now.

Please.

P.S. — Credit for the inspiration to revamp the site goes entirely to Memento, who turns out to be a crazy-competent computer dude and the architect of a lot of this site’s functionality.

<jk>And I thought guys that pull on their dicks were all, like, ya know.</jk>

Correction, all of this site’s functionality. Has been since he got here. Truth be known, if he hadn’t shown up this place would probably have tanked after a couple of years.

Who has two thumbs and agrees this place is damn lucky to have memento?

This guy! :up: :up:

Hi,

Cool site Mr Hubbard, I now understand the difference between EL and BPFSL!!

Thanks

I liked the old one.

Appreciate the feedback; glad to have been helpful?

Thunder does too, only he refers to the banana-and-notebook-paper design.

Can you tell me something more specific than that? The design? Something I’ve left out?

Yeah, the design, the pics, the practical instructions about homemade devices. And overall looks less ‘cold’, probably hard to get what I mean. Maybe it is just nostalgic feeling :) .

I can work on that. The cold (go ahead and say it, “Swiss”) look is the standard for the framework I used to make it resize for mobile. I didn’t want to mess around with design until I sorted out the content, and by then I needed a break from the project.

I do, at the very end, have a link to all the older stuff that Thunder saved. I can incorporate that again (concept and history of the AFB, for example), and I think I’m close to having a navigation scheme that will make it fairly easy to not get lost. I don’t want anyone to feel overwhelmed.

Thanks for the input!

BTW, how does the machine translation read in Italian?

Well, let’s say that can be done better. I can help on that if you want but not anytime soon.

Honest feedback:

In July this year I was reading about PE and found something which told me “Just do it!” - or maybe it was “Just pull it!” - I am sure it was your site, or a version of the same text.

It got me to start stretching my penis mostly in the shower and during toilet visits. “Just pull it!” - it resulted in at least temporarily larger flaccid and better EQ (and possibly it grew 1-2 mms length EL.)

I wanted to understand more. My brain wasn’t satisfied. Like the thumb + two finger grip: I didn’t even try it because it left me a bit confused. Is it just jelqing? Why doesn’t the erection level matter like “normal” jelqing? Should we press only on the CCs? etc

Then I ended up here at Thundersplace. :)

I simply cannot grasp the concept of that “double-OK” grip. Here I am failing to replicate it.

With a bunch of phucking phallic mushrooms ;)

Yes, the pinch grip is just jelqing. But, as you noted, when you’re putting pressure only on the CC (using the proper plural, harrumph), you’re not simultaneously blocking the exit of shit (by which of course I mean blood and lymphatic fluid), which fluids the celebrated and dangerous “OK” grip blocks, inviting all sorts of unwanted decorations, black, blue, and red. My sense is that it’s impossible to hurt yourself applying pressure with the T+2F (hey, let’s give it a fancy name!) grip. Getting hard? Switch to the oddly named C grip, which is T+2F with two hands, each working the CC.

The quote to which you refer was…er, umm, I must have the whole thing somewhere, an older boy saying to a younger, “Why don’t you just pull it out?” Exactly. The two issues I have with that are 1) stretching is unregulated; i.e., you can stretch too hard, meaning your dick goes into resistance mode versus accommodation mode and is shorter after a session, to me always a bad sign, but that’s easily monitored and remedied. 2) a relatively recent thread which featured a guy whose “PE” was more like “cutting” or other physical self-mutilation. Though I had no part in his self-abuse, it caused me to think that perhaps I should have a greater awareness of the influence of my site on psychologically-challenged souls. Yeah, you were on my site. Thanks for visiting, and commenting!

My thinking was this (and it may be useless bullshit): if you can apply a certain amount of force with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, what if you used two hands, thumb of one opposing forefinger of the other? Then, perhaps, you’d have the gripping power of two hands.

Sorry that my description/illustration are obscure: the meaning of the 90° twist is to put pressure only on the CC; the arrows are meant to direct your attention to the fact that the thumb of one hand and forefinger of the other are the contact points.

As I said, might be bullshit. Anyway, penis thusly grappled, you can rest wrists/forearms on hips and do some pretty intense pulling.

I like it. Is AFB hanger really that simple and that effective? I wouldn’t mind seeing a bit clearer instructions on how to make it and use it.
