Dino, my old friend.
You and I have been having this stumbling kind of “race” to “9 inches proper” for years now, and you’ve been coming from behind, and look like winning……
I had some bad bruising on my knob which didn’t go away, after hanging last year for some months without gains, then after at least 6 months off, I started back hanging a few months ago.
I went at it way too fast, and got a blood blister that actually burst while hanging.
Bad boy. Not paying enough attention!!!
I’m really pleased that this never happened to me in the early days cos I would have died with worry, but I had another total 1 month lay-off, and it healed really well, and took most of the bruising as well. …..( Now I’m not recommending this course of action, just reporting in…..but it’s an ill wind that doesn’t bring some good…..!!!)
I reckon you’re absolutely correct to have your month off, no stretching or light jelquing, just kegeling.
And if you’ve still got some dark patches, then just live with it.
I’ve been back at PE now for two plus weeks. Starting slowly, I’ve been hanging, jelquing and pumping most days, followed by all day stretch, including at the gym .
Since my dick usually is fairly prominent in my gym pants, and the ADS pulls it straight down my leg 10 inches plus towards the back of my knee, there is no dick bulge at all………and I’ve taken to putting a single sock where the bulge would normally be. I have a reputation to live up to!!!!!
(But either with or without the sock I would feel stupid and self conscious, and so I opted to make an “ersatz” dick bulge, and very convincing it is too …..LOL !!!)
No bruising, or other bad happenings thus far, but nothing much to report on the length issues either, but great flaccids, sometimes over 6 inches.
With all the time I’ve had off, my flaccid full stretch has dropped at least 1/4 inch to 9.5 inches, and even hanging straight out under load, can only get 9 5/8” where before….. maybe 2 years ago, I was near hitting 10 inches under load straight out. Erect length is still 8.75 inches, though immediately after PE I can get it to 9.25, even 9+3/8 inches. But shrinkage sets in and brings it back to 8.75 after a couple of days off.
The way will be difficult, but I’m trying to put in the hours that I have,since not in a formal job.
I haven’t been near any wenches, let alone The Captain’s but maybe I should look at this too.
