I read about jelqing back around 2005, but was very skeptical. I tried it for awhile, but the science of penis enlargement was, and still is, one giant mystery, so there wasn’t any real instructions beyond just the basic, get “this” hard, make “this” shape, and now do “this” for 20 minutes a day.
Fast forward to late 2015, I stumbled across a post on another forum completely unrelated to penis enlargement, where someone mentioned that it is possible to make your penis larger, but it takes a lot of time. Most of the people replying to that poster called it a lie, blah blah. He mentioned this website at some point, and I found my way here.
I read everything, and decided that whatever I chose to try, it needed to be something that I could do while doing something else. I didn’t want to have to spend a lot of attention on it. So, I chose hanging because other than keeping up with a 20 minute timer on my phone, I can do something else, like watch tv, and zone out, passing the time faster.
I didn’t think it would work. I knew it wouldn’t. But, I figured I’d give it a month or two, just to prove myself right. I measured myself at 6.5” BPEL, and 5” EG.
I started with the diy hanger Bib has on his website - the clear tubing with a hose clamp hanger - and, I don’t remember exactly what my first weights were, but I’m pretty sure I started at 2.5lbs, BTC exclusively. I went up 1/2lb per week, and eventually worked up to 5lbs.
By this time, I noticed my flaccid state was longer and retracted less during normal every day life. I kept at it, hanging 3 sets a day, 20 minutes each set. As time passed, I worked through all the usual problems with wrapping and hanger attachment issues as they came.
I got up to around 7lbs, and measured at 6.75” BPEL, and my base girth was 5.5”. I remember whispering to myself as I looked at the ruler, “It’s working! I can’t believe it’s working, but it’s working!”
Since then, I’ve went through many versions of DIY hangers - from bending PVC, to eventually settling on a heavily modified variation of the Tom Hubbard design. I’ve hung up to 25lbs before. The issue I ran into was that the amount of weight required to make minimal gains was getting out of control. I didn’t have the time to add more sets - and the weight was already ridiculous - so I temporarily stopped hanging regularly, and instead, hung 1-2 sets a week to cement gains, while beginning to clamp for girth. At this point, my measurements were 7 3/8” BPEL, and 5 3/8 EG mid shaft, 6” base girth.
I got carried away with the clamping, because I was seeing ridiculous BPFSL gains - putting my BPFSL over 8”. I don’t know why, or how, but clamping was increasing it.
And then I went too far, and one day, while putting on the second clamp at the base, I tightened too much and got a terrible stinging/burning sensation in the tip. I immediately took everything off. It persisted for a couple of weeks, and I didn’t touch anything down there until the pain went away. I decided to take a break, as I was reading about deconditioning, and hoped it would lead to new gains.
Fast forward 1 year - I don’t have the hanger I was using, nor the ability to make a new one due to living in an apartment without access to my power tools - so, I made a Captain’s Wench, and started over at 5lbs. I’m currently up to 12.5lbs - no hanger or wrapping pain - and I do both clamping and hanging (not at once). If I have time, I do three hanging sets and two clamping sets - if I don’t have time, I do two hanging and one clamping set. I try to get in 3-4 days a week, but with 3-4 days each week off, I feel that the extra work on the 3/2 days works out because I have time to rest after such a workout.
When I started back with the Wench, I measured at 7 5/16”, so I lost 1/16” after 1 year of nothing. That’s pretty darn awesome! 1/16” could be a loss, or it could’ve just been a less than optimal day to measure. Either way, I was glad to see I was still holding on to over 3/4” BPEL gains.
Since restarting, I have seen gains, but it’s slow. Slow is better than what I was getting at 25lbs (zero gains), so the deconditioning did allow for more gains at lower weights. I’m currently back to 7 3/8” BPEL, and my girth is now 5.5” mid shaft and 6.25” base.
Penis enlargement does work, but it requires an enormous amount of time and effort. I’ve been doing it for 6 years now. There is no way to cheat the system - it requires patience and time. Any “secrets” to speed it up will most likely lead to injury. But, ff you have the time and opportunity, then why not do it?
To the original poster, the reason why I have no pics is because I didn’t believe it would work and felt like taking pictures was a waste of time. I now wish I had taken them just to see how far I’ve come. The numbers have changed, but to see it visually would be awesome. Unfortunately, I can’t do that.
