Lit's Progress

Today’s post is mostly on my history in PE and my current status and routine. I remember back when we were using the public library computers to have internet and were looking at, ahem, the naughty pictures. During that time, I also found pegym. Com or something like that. I’ve never in my life paid for PE information, but the old internet had enough to get started. Heck, I expect I had an account here back in college.

Anyway, in the mid-teens I learned about jelqing. Did plenty of that. I used to do it really slow and tight. Maybe 5+ seconds per. Tons of petichiae. I suspect I had gains, it’s been ages.

In college I was busy about it. I spent hours on PE. Manual stretches and jelqing a lot. I also did the biker stretch, where I hung a padlock from my head for all-day wear. I also got creative with elastic around the leg below the knee and tied at the glans. Definitely made progress. I suspect I mostly reached lig limits here.

In the too-many years since then, I’ve been 95% off, with the occasional return. I’m about a month in on it this time, and feel like it’s got legs again.

First off, I’m married, have kids, and it’s all stealth mode. I have a couple jobs to go with the family, and I work in an office so I need discretion. I’ve recently started using some old fish tank pump equipment to dabble in pumping, and yes, I’ve read the threads on sizing, avoiding edema, etc. Anyway, I absolutely love how it feels, and if I could, I’d be there with the guys doing the long 20-minute sets at 2 hg. However, I’m cramming a few private minutes in before leaving for work and hoping nobody wakes up.

So here’s my current plan. 5 minutes pumped is 50 points, a jelq is 1. I’m getting 150 points a day. Some days that’s 3x 50 jelqing, some days it’s 2 pumps and 1x50 jelqs, or 1/100, whatever. Jelqing has always had some benefit with flaccid hang, but the last many years, I haven’t done enough for long enough to make a genuine impact. It feels like the pumping is jump-starting gains. Not just more and slightly thicker flaccid hang, but I genuinely like the look and feel better lately.

Now, my measurements "starting" are just the current stuff, no idea where I started 25 years ago. I’m at 7.5" BPEL, 5.25" midpoint erect girth. My base is actually a little narrower than the rest from the way the jelqs have pushed more blood in farther down for so long.

Goals. Be great to hit 8.25" x 5.75". I used to want more than that but I don’t want to size myself out of the bedroom at home. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the improved EQ even though I keep being surprised that my measurements haven’t really shifted despite what my eyes see.

I’ll be looking for whether I can find something for a fairly discrete ADS, can’t hang a masterlock from my dick in dress pants.

That’s all for now. Lit signing off.

Some other notes: I’ve gotten much gentler with jelqs these days both from a speed perspective and lower pressure. Going for cumulative positive impact vs max every rep. Much less spotting along with that.

Got my 1st 100 points today via 2 rounds of pumping, which is my favorite way to start the day. I don’t like when stealth mode necessitates doing 0 or 1 round there. Trying a little stretch wrap around the base to try for gentle constriction and encourage flaccid hang. I don’t really turtle unless I do too much, but it makes sense to me to try to prevent turtling so I heal longer vs just toughening the future stretch.

Welcome to posting here and back to PE!

Kudos on trying to balance a demanding home and work life with some PE.

There was a member on here, and I can’t remember his handle, who made really impressive gains being totally stealth working from home next to his wife in their shared home office. He got a vacuum hanger setup and a bungee cord leg strap situation and a small infrared heating pad he could wrap his penis with that he attached to a battery pack in his pocket. He cut a small hole in his pants pocket to pass the cord through. I can’t remember how much he gained in the time he did it, but it was something on the order of an inch or more in around a year (again, don’t quote me but you get the idea).

Pumping definitely requires some privacy but there are ways to do it the shower, for example, if you have the right set up.

Finally, look into hard and soft clamping. Hard clamping is most commonly done with hardware store cable cuffs (so they aren’t made for PE and are easy to have around the house in case someone comes across them) and soft clamping is commonly done with silicone toe shields that you can get from amazon or maybe even a local pharmacy, since they are to prevent toe blisters, also easy to explain having around the house if someone finds them. Clamping is done in 10 minute sets (or less) so doable in a reasonable trip to the bathroom, too. Hard clamping is a more advanced technique, so work your way up to it if you’re interested, but soft clamping is easy and not too intense. Both have given me great girth results.

Point of all of this is you can continue to find ways to train, even with some basic equipment, and keep things stealth. You just have to be creative.

Best of luck!

Hey Lit

Greetings, you said jelqing over the years has made your base narrower. I would like to add that I have done purely hanging for my PE routine, no pumping, a little jelqing, a little stretching, that’s all. I have personally found that hanging makes a cock beautiful, no lie
One should not pump if dick is curved, Hanging should be done to correct this.
I have experienced growth in my base as well as length. Hanging is the best PE method IMO.

Thanks! I’ve been really interested in clamping, but don’t really have a good idea yet of the mechanics and how it’s different from throwing a ring on or even just tying rope for a little blood restriction without fully blocking things.

I’m managing to pump aaaallllmost daily, but if people stir too early, I’m toast.

Thanks for the welcome!

I have liked the little hanging I did, years ago. No curve. I don’t think jelqing made the base narrower, I just think the first inch or so is probably close to my natural girth and the rest of the shaft is my enhanced size. I should measure both for giggles.

If I can find a way to get some low profile hanging in I sure will.

Well, I realized after replying to TenaciousD that I hadn’t searched clamping since becoming a member instead of just lurking. I had clamping entirely backwards. It’s max constriction for a short time, vs an all-day mild constriction. Also read up on the uli, I think I used to just call those squeezes, but it’s definitely a favorite finisher on manual workouts. Benefit of a clamp is not frying my grip for 10 minutes.

Just did my last 50 points of the day via jelq, getting some bonus ulis in because I can. I have an idea about using a reusable velcro cable ties for a clamp, but gotta dig one out.

The velcro cable ties might be too narrow and flexible to enable the internal pressure that is the aim of the clamping. But let us know what how it goes.

Check out the cable cuffs; you can get them on amazon or at any hardware store and they are very low cost. And like I said, they have an actual purpose for household use, so easy to throw in a drawer and not be worried about having to explain them.

I get an erection, use a strip of mouse pad I cut as a wrap under the clamps (the stretchiness of the mouse pad strip is perfect, as is the thickness of the pad for padding and the fabric side against my skin makes them comfortable) then apply the clamps as tightly as I can, first one, then two and often three. I leave them on for 10 minutes, sometimes clicking them a bit tighter as I can during the set.

The level of internal pressure is really, really high, so be careful at first while you get the hang of it. Start with one and work your way up. The pressure increase isn’t linear as you add clamps, so keep that in mind. You can just leave them on for the set or you can do gentle erect bends. The expansion is next level.

It can also cause some transient discoloration of the skin, so be sure to do Firegoat rolls (you can search the term but its basically rolling your penis between your hands like trying to start a fire with a stick) and kind of be mentally prepared for it in case you overdo it and you have a two-tone penis for a few days, since the part under the clamps won’t discolor and the rest of it will be darker.

The same discoloration can happen if you overdo the pumping pressure, where the part that is packed against the tube is lighter and whatever part isn’t can discolor.

I mention the discoloration as something that might be noticeable for a stealth PE situation.

More importantly, the one velcro tie I found wasn’t long enough to comfortably situate, and had sharp edges, and I couldn’t put a wrap under it. May have to buy a pack of ties for legitimate purposes and then have one leftover.

1x5 pump
Quick refresh (considering calling it the Taylor Swift. You know, "shake it off.")
1 minute uli
Some kegels

A little more getting ready for work

50 jelqs, including making sure I get as far back as possible to start.
Taylor Swift
1 minute uli
Some kegels

I suppose I basically always throw some kegels in at the end of sets, didn’t think to mention it. It’s just kinda until everything gets a little cool down.

The package is feeling solid today. First 100 points done, and I am trying to decide how many points I think a uli should be, because it’s definitely more work than not adding it to the set.

Well. I got my last 50 points today via jelq and threw down a one minute uli. Some kegels at the end. I think I’m going to say a uli is 25 points, at least for now. As much as I love them, they definitely tend to cause the most internal pressure of anything I do. I have some petichiae tonight, almost certainly from adding the ulis today. 3x60s isn’t much time but I feel like it was another 50% of work on top. I will evaluate in the morning for how I feel. I may have a day without them just to ease it up.

Also, I cut a strip of mouse pad for clamping, but haven’t done it yet. I think I need a good healthy point to start from vs already worn out. It’s so easy to go off the deep end with adding and changing things up, but not valuable. I am curious about what I’ll measure on the 15th. (Only measuring the 1st and 15th.)

I am thinking about two things: 1) pump, then clamp or clamp, then pump? 2) would changing your exercises every couple weeks keep novelty in the process and prevent stagnation? It helps muscles not get as efficient in workouts when there is shock from a change. Here, too?

Lit signing off.

Very pleased this morning.

Still had morning wood despite the more intense training yesterday, and noticeably still wider for the morning bathroom break.
5 min pump
Quick massage/reset
5 min pump
Quick massage/reset (all stayed a good size)
1 min uli
Firegoat rolls for 20s or so. That was interesting because I could tell it was redistributing blood, but I didn’t lose much size. Most important of all to me is that the erection has lingered for a bit vs going away pretty immediately after stopping rounds.

Ease and strength there are big keys to my happiness in the process. Anything that makes it harder to get hard is too much for me. Generally all signs are green. I did feel like it was a little too much yesterday, so I went down to one uli this morning. 125 points done.

I prefer to clamp then pump. In fact, pumping, if I do it that day, is always last.

I find that there is always some subcutaneous edema, even if I’m careful, and this interferes with clamping and elongation.

But see what works for you.

Thanks, D! Got the last set of the day in early. 50 jelqs, 1m uli. Firegoat roll for a few and called it. That’s 75 points, 200 for the day. I am planning ahead for when I mix it up, and I think I’ll be trying to plan based on target points per day regardless of plan.

There was member on here who had a well backed theory about how the penis EQ was determined by two parts of the penis
1 Tunica Albuginea, the outer
2 Corpus Cavernosum, CC
(Though there are some who argue that there should also be a third part that would require attention to promote length growth, which would be
3 Urethral Duct & Corpus Spongiosum, UD & CS)

Different PE techniques affect the 2 parts differently
Egs.
HANGING would be working the CC, UD & CS but little effect on the Tunica.
PUMPING would be working the Tunica, with just a small fraction being done in CC, UD, CS
JELQING would be working the Tunica & CC, with small fraction being done on UD & CS
CLAMPING would be working the CC & Tunica, with little effect on CS & UD
Or at least from what I can remember, the other techniques I’m a bit sketchy because I wasn’t that interested.
But since different PE techniques affect different parts, it makes sense to use a combination of them when doing PE
So yeah, you got a good routine going on Lit

My personal routine consists of hanging(mostly), Jelqing n Stretches(as warm ups/downs), mid/base clamping(mostly) and that’s it, I have done ZERO pumping and very little of anything else
I regret not keeping a journal on my progress as I believe I have made quite a decent amount of progress

STRETCHING would be working out the most parts of the penis, generally low effect for each, mainly because stretching is done with the hands and we are limited to how much force our hands can apply to our asset, unlike the forces that can be achieved with hanging or pumping or even clamping

Or at least from what I can remember, I may be off a bit, the other techniques I’m a bit sketchy because I wasn’t that interested.

Pardon for probable errors, I will do some further reading and return with any correction.
