I’ve never roided, but a few buddies did - so I know the obsession. PE, for me, is a little different (especially since the gains aren’t nearly as rapid or dramatic).
Like most guys, I always knew that we couldn’t do anything about our dick size - short of that ghastly surgery. I figured I better accept what I was born with (6.5 BPEL x 5.2 MSG). I wasn’t happy about it, but I wasn’t sexually-paralyzed with morbid depression either.
For whatever reasons, I began experiencing mild E.D. when I was 37. And, even on an occasional “good” hardon, I saw that I looked a little smaller. So when I dusted off the old ruler and measured my cock (for the first time in about 20 years), to my horror, I was now 6.12 x 5.2 - I had lost 3/8 of an inch. That just added insult to injury; but, again, I just knew that I couldn’t enlarge my penis - I just wanted to try to get it rock-hard again, if that was possible.
I began searching online about E.D., penis health, penis anatomy, penis exercises,etc. And I found kegels - and all the PE stuff. To cut to the chase, I began kegels & jelqs (no stretching). In 1 month, my MSG increased from 5.2 to 5.7 inches. Needless to say, I became hooked. I quickly returned to my 6.5 BPEL and within a few short months, to my complete shock, I passed up 7” BPEL. Now, I knew that the penis could be enlarged through exercise - and safely as well.
I’m now a hair over 7.5” BPEL x 6.14” MSG - a dramatic increase volumentrically. I continue because, like most guys, I’m not satisfied with my present size. It is also a form of self-improvement, a way of challenging oneself - and also I still haven’t gotten over the shock that we can actually make our cocks larger!
So, for me, chalk it down to about 20 years of dissatisfaction with my cock, coupled with a newly-found “secret knowledge” that in some ways makes me feel like a kid again (wondering how big my cock is going to grow, LOL).
PE is cool, takes time, and is personally rewarding. It also touches us in our most primal nature - that’s why it can be addicting.
