Have you heard of one like this before?

Hey everyone,

I write this to you with much internal debate because even I am having a hard time believing.

I started my journey only 2-3 weeks ago, newbie routine, and tried to be very precautions. I did the routine 2 days in a row, but instead of taking 1 day off I took 3 days off since it was my first session. Then, I did the routine 2 on 1 off once, 2 on again and during my off day the wife was feeling sexy time. In-coming plot-twist #1:

To my horror, I couldn’t maintain an erection. This is the first time this happened to me in my life and I immediately recalled the 100+ horror stories I’ve read in the injury part of this forum. However, I didn’t panic, because every injury post has a reply “take time off” and I didn’t have any of the most worrisome symptoms others posted: no pain, no trouble getting a full erection momentarily, no visible marks of injury on the penis of any kind, but it would get soft immediately after getting hard. Day 2 things got slightly worse, I no longer had any desire for sex and couldn’t get hard at all. I would perform mental exercises to imagine things that previous to this injury would make me hard immediately but nothing I tried got an erection.

Day 3 was the mark of the beginning of plot-twist #2. Every day after things started improving little by little. I am on day 5 or 6 now and I tried my mental exercise again, and was almost able to get an erection. Then, I tried giving it a hand (pun intended) and got a full erection. Here is the part that’s unbelievable: I was visibly longer. Measuring confirmed, 0.5 inches puts me at 7”! I know about the honeymoon phase, I know this is not permanent growth unless I continue, but I expected this kind of growth after 3 months of newbie routine, not after 6 sessions!

Anyway, I am going to take another week and a half off (2 weeks total post-injury) and then start with newbie routine day 1 (5 mins stretching, 200 jelqs, 3 days rest). I will also read a lot more about jelqing because I think that’s how I injured myself. (I am not death-gripping or anything, but I think I need to start higher than the base and only put pressure on the sides so no pressure up top or down below where the tube is)

Congrats on your gains brother!

This thread is really worth a read, it will help you manage this kinda situation and help you know when to start up again.
