Raybbaby's Bathmate log and expansion study

I think it takes a while for our brain to actually “see” the gains. For what it is worth, I realized the other day that my erection looks about 15 to 20 percent or so bigger in the mirror than it does when I am looking down on it. Intellectually I knew about foreshorting, etc. But it surprised me when I actually saw the mirror difference.

Yeah, what the mind knows and what the eyes see are two different things sometimes. Yesterday was also a day off, and I was almost sure when I measured the girth of my morning wood it would be back to 5 1/4”, it just did not feel very thick. but sure enough it is still hitting 5 1/2”. Pretty crazy. I know when I loop mt tape measure around and form a loop that is 5 1/2” it looks fatter to me than when I look at my dick. Although I gotta say when I started out at MSG 5”, 5 1/2” looked really thick. 5 1/2” inches doesn’t seem all that big to me anymore. I guess that’s how it goes though. Now when I look at a tape loop that is 6” in circumference, it doesn’t seem all that big to me. I mean it’s bigger than me, but it doesn’t seem huge, which it used to. And a 5” loop, while technically larger than average, at least a little, now looks small to me. I guess you just get used to whatever you’re looking at. Can’t wait to get rid of this damn ingrown and get back to pumping.

I definitely agree with you guys there about getting used to seeing your post pump girth after awhile, that is so true. On another note Ray, have you had any comments about your size(particularly your girth) from your sex partner(s) since you started pumping?

Only one comment. I was in bed with a girl who reached down and grabbed it, and said “ooh, you’ve got a big one eh”? Yep. Canadian girl. I live about ten minute south of the Canadian border, so international hook ups are not that rare. I had to stifle the urge to jump up on the bed and start cheering, “U-S-A, U-S-A”……

Yeah Buddy!

Ok, just to log an entry, today was day six without a workout. Ingrown hair still hasn’t been resolved. And it’s bugging me so bad. Not painful, but bugs me to not be PEing. Good news is I measured my erect girth, and it is still 5 1/2” at mid-shaft, and 6” at the base. So that girth after six days off is really good to see.

:cheerlead :

I can’t PE right now either, this is because of holiday related privacy issues. You are right, it is driving me a little crazy.

^yep, as you can tell, I keep measuring to make sure I’m not losing any ground. Which I don’t seem to be. I can’t quite bring myself to go digging into that ingrown hair bubble. Yet.

Ouch!

I feel like pumping helps release some “feel good” chemicals in the brain. I think that is one reason why we miss it when we can’t do it

So, I took a week off, and then pumped today. Just couldn’t take another day off. So, I kind of was off my game with my regular measuring intervals, and missed the first one I usually take at the ten minute mark. But my length in the tube for most of the session was 7 3/8”, which I pumped to quickly. And I hit 7 1/2” for the last few minutes of my hot water pumping. Speaking of that, I was at 5 7/8” girth at the end of the hot water part of my pump session, after twenty minutes, and then after ten minutes of cold I hit 6”. Then I edged for almost a half an hour, erection quality was fluctuating, but I still was at 5 3/4” -5 7/8” most of the time.

Looks like you are still gaining girth. Any improvements in flaccid size?

Yes, but I don’t really keep track of that very closely. Mostly I think because it can fluctuate so much. But my flaccid hang is usually in the ball park of 6” long by 5” in girth, which was my erect size when I started this journey years ago.

raybbaby, what’s the primary lessons for growing with the Bath mate? Do you care to share your wisest thoughts? :)

I don’t know if any of my thoughts qualify as “wise”. I think it’s all about sticking with it, and listening to your body’s suggestions, aka “P. I.s” If you feel fatigued, take a day off, maybe two. I think one day on, one day off is a pretty good place to start, and the just go from there. I’ve had my Bathmate for a year now and I still feel like I’m learning.

Pumped today. 7 3/8” to 7 1/2” in the tube length. After 10 minutes, girth was 5 3/8”, and then 100 jelqs, and then another 15 minutes of hot water pumping, Girth was 5 7/8”, and then 10 minutes of cold and girth hit 6”. While edging I measured and had a girth of 5 3/4”. So no new records, but a pretty good session regardless.
