Thinking My PE Career Might Be Reaching the End of the Road...

Greetings, Everyone.

I’ve been spending a lot of time recently thinking about whether I should continue to pursue PE, or simply cut back to a maintenance routine (a few minutes of manual stretching and jelqing a couple of days a week) and get on with my life. I’d really like to hear from some of you who have been in my shoes. I’ll try to keep this to a few bullet points, rather than hitting you guys with a full-blown essay:

— I started PE 2.5 years ago. My starting stats were 7” BPEL and 5” EG.

— I grew quickly due to newbie gains and extreme diligence. (I only missed 2 or 3 scheduled PE sessions in my first six months.)

— I’m currently 8” BPEL and 5.5” EG (maybe 5.6” on a really good day).

— Despite continued focus and consistency, I’ve experience no new gains in the past nine months.

— I spend about 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week on PE.

— I’ve mostly focused on manual stretching and jelqing as those are what have provided me growth in the past. I dabbled in both clamping and later water pumping (Bathmate) for about 90 days each. I eventually quit both because the only thing I seemed to gain was bruising and discoloration, each time returning to manual exercises.

As I said above, it’s been nearly a year since my last gain. I’m starting to feel like my dick may have already reached its full physical potential. I realize there are other, more aggressive methods that I haven’t tried (like hanging), but they all seem to require more time than I am able (or perhaps willing) to devote to PE. Honestly, the time I’m putting into PE now (along with the required privacy) is putting a strain on my daily schedule. I never minded in the past, because the thrill of additional potential gains kept me going. But now it seems like my effort simply is being rewarded like it has been in the past. I’m feeling tempted to walk away from PE and devote that time to the gym instead. (I swear, if I had been half as dedicated to my physique as to my penis, I’d be Mr Olympia by now.) I realize that most people gain more slowly as time goes on. Slow gains would be fine. But zero gain is not.

The catch is that I’m still not satisfied with my dick. I realize that I’m larger than average and that I should just learn to take “yes” for an answer, but the truth is that I really want a legitimately LARGE cock. 8” NBPEL and 6” girth would be fantastic. When I look at the measuring tape, it doesn’t seem that far off. But when I think about where I started and how much I’ve already had to grow to get where I am now, I know that it’s not a very realistic end point. Maybe I’m just not meant to have a huge cock? I suppose there are worse things in life. The funny thing is that I never gave my size a second thought before I got into PE. But now that I’ve experienced what it’s like to gain, I just can’t seem to leave well enough alone.

To those of you who are still reading, thank you. Having said (err…typed) all that, my questions are: Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Did you keep on keeping on, or did you call it a day? And what are some indicators that I might be at my maximum potential size?

Thanks in advance for your input.

First let me say you are quite large now. I was at the same crossroad a few years back. That’s when I really focused on one technique that allowed elongation past my current BPEL and minimized side affects.

If I had to pick between the gym and PE, I’d choose the former. The overall benefits to your life will be seen daily. As a natural by product being in good health will reward your penis too.

8” is much larger than average, but I understand the desire to go for more. Hit the gym like you planned and take a break from P.E. for about three months. Could be you are too toughened up to stretch any right now.

Have you considered combining your current efforts with one of the discrete and comfortable extenders/stretchers you can wear for ~8 hours daily?

And maybe even an ADS beyond that (something I am thinking to get into when I have time to sit down and figure out what to order)

As the song by the Rolling Stones goes, “You can’t always get what you want…” Eight inch sure seems like you got what you need though. But, I would be most curious to see you “Beak on through to the other side” - The Doors, 1967. Best of luck, man, I’m pullin’ for you. (figuratively speaking)

Take a long decon break and see how you feel.

If clamping and pumping only result in bruising and discoloration, I bet a hundred rupees you have overtrained, possibly a lot.
I would listen to Capernicus, take a long decon break, and come back at it (if you really want to, there is absolutely no need for it) later.
Try one day on one day off, especially if you do girth work . It wouldn’t be so heavy on your schedule, and could very well yield positive results.
Do proper warm ups, IR lamp or if for some reason you can’t, rice sock or heating pad.
Try edging + light clamping for longer sessions.
Two members have done this with great success.
A mix between squeezes and jelqs feels nice too. A jelq sets (5 min), a few squeezes (Uli’s , horse squeezes), and repeat numerous times.
Watch out for your physiological indicators, you want to have great EQ, especially the day after.
Again, if you’re fine with your size then no need to worry, you’re already big.

I’m sure you already have, but if not, read the thread on “less is more”.

This.

You will never be satisfied with your size. The day you get 6” EG, your penis will look shorter. So a 8.5x6 would be better. But if and when you are there….you can go on by yourself.

Enjoy your size and life. But stay around, some new and interesting to try can always jump out from our posters.

Decondition break. Only light PE once a week. Then after some months think if you want to start again.

Hey C.C. Deville!

I’m in similar situation. After about 28 months of PE with no breaks longer than a week, my gains stalled.

About 2,5 hours of PE (don’t count warming) gave me almost nothing in last month or more.

I think that you can try a 6 weeks on 2 week off schedule. Often it works for me, but I think it’s mostly psychical thing- you got starved after PE and do it more vigorously.

It is well said that almost all of PE career you will have the “I can still grow up” attitude. Think about it, there is something like too big.

Also, decon can be still a good idea.

Hanging one set per day is really not that much of a time investment.

Once youve plateud on gains, pumping is a fun and easy way to keep your gains.

I felt as if I was at a maximum, but now that I’ve begun pumping I’m enthusiastic about gaining again given all of the early indications.

An extended decon break helped me also.
