Gentlepsycopath's road to 8 inches

I am very happy to hear that my thread has been useful to you. Congratulations for your gains also, good girth gains are hard to achieve, so it seems that you gain pretty easy. Also 0.2 inch in length in one week is amazing.

30 minutes manual stretching is the sweet spot. You are fairly new to this and if you are consistent and smart enough to give your body the proper rest, you will gain way more length than you expect. The key is to have the right mindset, appreciate the small gains and think longterm.

I am sure that you have questions or specific comments about the manual stretching technique. So i am waiting to discuss about how we will make our dicks bigger.

Good job bro, great gains.

Thank you
I have one question do you edge immediately after penis exercise session, and how long.

I used to do that every time in the past but now not often. I believe that the time that i spend to edge is not so worth and i prefer to simply raise the total time under tension. It’s a good thing to force some fresh blood in the penis after stretching but it doesn’t contribute so much to gains.

Thank you Mike, appreciate it!!

After after roughly reading through this thread I see you recommend downward simple stretches before people try fulcrum stretches.

1. So do you mean downward to the right, downward to the middle and downward to the left, just these three with increasing time under tension.

2. With the downward stretches you recommend a V Grip?

3. I’m going to do this stretching routine with heat, I’ll use a hot moist wash cloth put that over my dick and do the V Grip over it or do you recommend I wrap my dick for a minute then do the stretches?

1. I have notice that with the downward direction the force is applied more efficiently. Yes you can do it to the right or to the left, personally i stretch more to the middle.

2. Yes the downward stretches with the V-grip.

3. I think that’s up to you, whatever is more convenient to you. I would wrap my dick for a minute and then do the stretches, because i don’t think that the cloth would help my grip. I prefer toilet paper on the glans for the grip.

About the V-grip, you don’t have to rotate your wrist so much because you will be fatigued faster. Instead just place the glans between the space between your middle and index finger and stretch. I can’t describe it very good, but i mean that you don’t have to face the V shape created by your fingers, you can have it to the side.

Hey man, your thread was a great read.

Could you go more in detail about how you structure your stretching sessions? For example do you start with shorter sets and lower intensity and finish with sets that have a higher intensity from the get-go of the stretch?

What papers/threads/principles/etc have influenced the way in which you do your stretching sessions?

I have mostly been reading about PE for the last year or so, basically trying to gather bits and pieces of science that has some relation to PE and anecdotes, so that I could carry out a successful journey of my own. Your thread has inspired me to actually start doing something, but I’m trying to figure out the steps that I should take.

Do you allow turtling to occur after you’re finished with routine? Or do you use an ADS after

I think you answered my question with that one. I was reluctant to use the ‘V Grip’ in a downward stretch to avoid stretching with my penis slightly turned to the side (from the orientation of my fingers). If I’m not mistaken, I believe you are saying that this slight penile turn/rotation is ok for the duration of the stretch?

Anyway, remarkable progress! I really like the consistency you have shown. So close to the 2” growth club too! You, and a few others, have helped motivate me to keep going strong with my equipment-free newbie routine. Your progress stands as a great example of what manual stretching is capable of achieving!

Thank you, i am really happy that my thread has inspired you, that’s the purpose of it.

I have changed the structure of my routine many times since the begging, but the basic principles were the same. The start of each stretch should be with minimum force, just enough to reach the bpfsl. I keep it there with no pulling at all for 30 seconds and then i start to increase the stretching tension and i reach the highest force for some seconds before the realese. Then i repeat the same. The duration of each stretch is between 2-5 minutes. At the end of the 30-40 minutes total routine time, i stretch with higher intensity, maybe the last 5-10 minutes.

Marinera’s thread tips and tricks for manual stretching was my main guidance. I have also read the progress of many big gainers, who used manual stretching. The common thing was the frequency of the stretching during the day. That’s why i think that the best approach is to scatter the total stretching time to many shorter workouts during the day, or to do the main routine all at once and then add very short workouts during the day when you have the chance.
Kyrpa’s thread was valuable too, because it made it clear to me that the repeated sets produce better lengthening, which the main concept of the manual stretching in general. Also the slow introduction of the force is important, because the tissue will stiffen with a sudden high stress.

I allow turtling to occur yes because i think it’s natural and part of the necessary healing process. It doesn’t matter if your penis goes back to a short flaccid state, because the most important thing is that the fibers during the workout, were stimulated to reach a longer state and this over time will give some gains.
The penis will never heal in a shorter state, this happens only with a major injury like scar tissue.

Many thanks for your kind words, i really appreciate it. I was very consistent, but now due to lifestyle changes and limited time and privacy i can’t follow a consistent routine. I stretch only when i have the chance. The good thing is that i am happy with my current size, although i want more and that’s why i will not stop.

Yes this slight rotation isn’t a problem. The good thing with manuals is that if something doesn’t feel right or cause any discomfort or pain, you can immediately stop it. Specifically i mean that you don’t have to do a full rotation of the wrist in order to have the V grip accros from you. Use your middle and index finger like a scissor, place the glans between and stretch.

Stiramenti col fulcro:
This is a guy that Marinera had used as an example. He is doing it very efficiently.

Thank you, I found your answer helpful and elucidating.

I’ve read his thread, and have respect for the guy. He and manko have made great strides for the advancement of PE.

What do you mean when you say the thread made it clear to you that the repeated sets produce better lengthening? Is there a specific post I should revisit?

This thread is that after my own heart. I am a fan of manual low budget no nonsense PE. I only use my hands and anything that has a “dual purpose”, i.e., an item not specifically designed for PE.
