Shrinkage

I’ve been PE’ing on and off for over a year now. Ill PE for a couple monthes, stop, and then do it again. I just can not stay consistent. Anyways, on to the problem. Most of the time when I used to PE my flaccid would be a lot bigger than normal after a PE session. I just started to PE again a couple weeks ago and now my flaccid is SMALLER when I’m done with a PE session. But, after about 20 minutes, it enlarges to normal size or sometimes bigger than when I started the PE session. What is going on here? Is this a negative indicator or a neutral one?

Do you have a ‘normal’ (i.e. baseline) measure that is typically consistent?

If it seems to shrink at first I would guess that you are jelqing the living daylights out of your dick.

Moderate force, consistently applied, in a 3 second jelq from the base to just before the glans.

I should probably ask: what is your routine?

Be as detailed as possible.

I bet your not using a warmup.

Also when I jelq and then stretch, my flaccid suffers. It’s best to warmup, stretch, and then jelq if you want more flaccid.

Good points, Springer240.

Well said.

Slib?

I noticed that mine will shrink after too much PEing so I will take a break until it goes back. I think that it’s your dicks way of saying chill out bro. I can’t take much more!

Does flaccid shrinkage hinder growth? Whenever I take a #2 my flaccid shrinks and gets cold(like the blood is being extracted). I feel keeping a plump flaccid and getting daily erections are necessary.

Remember the basic principle behind PIs.

Some things are positive, by definition: larger size that stays, better erections.

Some things are negative, by definition: shrinkage that stays, poorer erections.

Then there are the neutral indicators. They are things that MAY be positive, or MAY be negative, but need to be interpreted in the context of other indicators. As I understand it, for example, let’s say that you experience temporary shrinkage after your session, but you are growing and you have good erectile quality. That neutral indicator would be seen as positive in the overall context of your positive results.

Then let’s say that you are worried about your temporary shrinkage and cut back your routine. Your gains come to a halt and your erections are no better. That would suggest that your temporary shrinkage was indeed a positive indicator for you, as it accompanied your gains.

But let’s say it worked the other way around. You experience temporary shrinkage and decide to cut back your routine. When you do so, you get even better gains and your erectile quality improves. That suggests that your temporary shrinkage might’ve been a symptom of overtraining, and thus a negative PI for you.

SparkyX has put forth the concept that what might be seen as negative indicators might, in fact, be positive; that you need to put your penis under a certain amount of stress in order to achieve growth. This may include some neutral PIs which, on the surface, would not seem to be positive.
