Let's get down to business

Hello,

First post/ newbie here! I am a circumcised, 40 years-old skinny guy who always felt ashamed of his dick; being circumcised at a young age made me feel strange compared to others. Although my girlfriends never seems to care about my size, watching porn made me feel I was smaller than average until I met this girl on a “one-night” and she really was impressed by my penis. Knowing this girl had ride many guys before me, her comments about my size made me feel more confident and she kept telling her friends I was the kind of big deal!

This led me to look further about “normal penis size” and I found that my 7,5 inch was somewhat above the average. I was curious if I could get any bigger/ longer with a pump, and decided to order a cheap pump from a local sex shop (with an 8 inch tube). After some trial and error, and mostly just testing the pump sometimes on my own in the last 3 months, I achieved to fill all the tube (in length) and I am now willing to get more serious about PE. I read online about the Bathmate Hydromax extreme x40 and decided to give it a try. I just got it, and getting ready for my first try but this thing is HUGE compared to my 8 inch pump! I really wonder if I could fill it up somewhere near the 9 inch mark (maybe with some routine and exercises)?

What would you suggest if my goal is to get around the 8,5 or 9 inch mark?

Hi Bill,

Welcome to the forum.

Consistent work long term. Monitoring evaluating the efficacy of your routine and altering as necessary. Take good measurements and store your stats.

Both your pumps lack a pressure gauge. It’s hard to monitor and evaluate what you are doing if you don’t know what you are doing.

Consider adding jelqing and stretching to your routine and potentially even ignore the pumps for now. The Newbie Routine is a good place to start.

If you’re gaining and continuing to gain don’t stop what you’re doing. Ask for options when it stops working. Often people find newbie gains easy and almost anything works.

Hi man!
You definitely have above average measurements and your friend is right to say that you are big. You have been wrongly conditioned by porn which is detrimental to making size comparisons and circumcision which in many cultures is normal and in some cases a benefit.
I think your current measurements are more than good but if your subconscious tells you to increase to have more self-esteem, start PE but weigh up the pros and cons of the measurements you say because it is not always an advantage.
As for PE what period of penis conditioning do you have?
Be careful with the bathmate which is normally introduced at a more advanced stage and then you don’t have pressure control and you risk causing yourself injuries.
I wish you many gratifications both with your penis and self-esteem, keep updating us, best regards :up:

Thanks for the welcome! Just to be clear, my confidence is ok now and the way I look at porn has evolved :) PE is more a personal goal to satisfy my curiosity than an absolute goal to keep confidence. You are totally right about the pressure gauge. I wonder if I could modify my Bathmate or my air pump just by adding a gauge inline with the hose? Does that make sense?

I will definitely look at the Newbie Routine and consider maybe 20-30 minutes per day when training.

Thank you!

Yeah or you could buy a brake bleeder pump from amazon and attach it.

Good luck.
