Newbie Journey From Very Beginning Onward

I’ve been doing PE for about a month now. I’ve been starting off with manual stretches and jelqing. I think I have been doing the manual stretches incorrectly because I haven’t seen any length gains (I just feel like I’m stretching my skin) but I have seen half an inch of Girth gains which I did not expect at all. I’m still learning a lot so I expect my routine to change as time passes. I’m probably going to take before pics to have as a reference even though I’ve already had some gains. At first, I didn’t want to take any pics of my dick because who knows who could get access to them but I just have to find a place to store them that isn’t on the Internet haha like my computer files or something. I’m currently trying to gain length not so much girth because I already have a pretty thick dick so that’s my goal. I also want to restore my foreskin but I need to do more research on how to do so. My starting size, current size, and goal size are in my signature

Welcome aboard! Quite the pipe you’ve already got and congrats on the gains you’ve achieved! Perhaps you’re doing the exercises wrong or right and of course there are many resources here to guide you along that path (use the links at the bottom of every page and/or the Search function to garner more info on specifics), but a good portion of the feel of this art comes by doing exercises and observing how your penis responds both in the moment and longer-term - learning by doing (as well as reading everything you can find regarding any question you have - they’ve all been asked before and typically answered in detail).

It’s worth noting that gains can be incremental & slow to appear - and even in periods when it seems we’re not gaining (in your case, the length you want), the microscopic, cellular groundwork is being lain for future growth (and this is where strategic rest periods often help to facilitate those processes).

Also, some of us have a physiology that’s more favourable to just length gains or just girth gains (I’m unfortunately in the former camp being completely satisfied with my length but now focused on achieving at minimum a 5’ girth). Since you may possibly be the latter (seeing how easy it was for you to add girth), you may want to go easier on the stretches and once you’ve conditioned your unit (in say 6-12 months which is saying when your newbie gains have slowed and your unit can handle more “damage”), try some of the more advanced exercises/techniques that specifically target girth (ULI’s, Horses, Erect bends, clamping, etc.).

You should also know that a portion of newbie gains come from simply improving your dick’s circulation & general health, so you may see your gains move over more to length gains as your unit reaches peak functionality (which is often where the harder (longer-term) work begins). Wishing you the best with your goals!

(and take those pics - you’ll be glad you did!)

I did not expect such a thoughtful reply especially so quickly so thank you very much for that! I definitely think that I’m much more favored for girth gains however my girth isn’t really the issue for me. I’m not the type of person that needs to see results quickly in order to continue with PE. I know it is a very long term commitment and I am very much prepared for it. Right now I’m just trying to figure out what works for me. Like you said it is important to observe how my penis responds to what I’m doing. Wishing you luck with your attempts to gain more girth.

You’ve got the right mindset Growth. I’m looking forward to following your journey.

Also, I removed your original thread, no need for duplicates.

Best wishes.

I haven’t done any PE in the last week and a half. I’ve been busy and I’m mad at myself for slacking off but I wasn’t seeing that many gains so maybe the time off helped my penis “reset”. From now on I will try to add all of my PE sessions into this forum. I’m going to go do my PE session now, but I just wanted to give a short update so people didn’t think I was gone for good.

Last night I did a decent PE session but I didn’t want to go overboard and hurt anything. Here is what I did:

Warm-up: Today I made a rice sock to use as a warm-up. Before this, I was using a towel drenched in hot water, but it was messy and didn’t stay warm for long enough.

Manual stretches:
Under the butt (Left, Right, Center) 30 sec each
Downwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each
Outwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each
Upwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each

Ball stretches:
1 min down separately
1 min down together
1 min up separately
1 min up together
1 min right together
1 min left together

Kegels:
Quick (3 second on, 3 seconds off) kegels for 2 minutes
Medium (10 seconds on, 3 seconds off) kegels for 2 minutes

Foreskin Stretches:
Hold penis at bottom of shaft, grip tight while erect, use other hand to pull skin away (top, bottom, and both sides) 20 sec x 3
While flaccid, pull skin over penis head and stretch with two fingers from each hand (top, bottom, and both sides) 20sec x 3

For those of you who are more experienced, I would always appreciate some input on how I can improve my routine. Thanks!

I had a really good PE session last night. I felt like this was the most productive session I’ve done thus far. Here’s what I did:

Warm-up with rice sock for 20 minutes

Manual stretches:

Under the butt (Left, Right, Center) 30 sec each
Downwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each
Outwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each
Upwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each

Jelqing:

5 min underhand jelqing, 5 min overhand jelqing, 2 min jelqing at the head of the penis (to increase head size)

Ball stretches every session:

30 sec down separately
30 sec down together
30 sec up separately
30 sec up together
30 sec right together
30 sec left together

Kegels every session:

Quick (3 second on, 3 seconds off) kegels for 1 minute
Medium (10 seconds on, 3 seconds off) kegels for 1 minute
Long 1 minute kegel

If any of you have tips on how I can improve my routine, please let me know! I want to make sure I’m doing the best routine possible. Right now I’m trying to go for more length, I’m pretty satisfied with my girth. Does anyone know the best way to target length?

Note: During this session my penis really felt like it was stretching whereas in previous sessions it didn’t feel like much was happening. I think this might have been because I heated with the rice sock for longer before doing my manual stretches. I’m also already starting to feel my balls hang lower, which I like. Hopefully, more good things are to come!

Did another PE session yesterday. It felt like a success to me. Tomorrow is measuring day but I don’t expect any gains because I haven’t done much PE in the last month. Anyway, here is a log of what I did yesterday.

Warm-up with a rice sock

Manual stretches:
Under the butt (Left, Right, Center) 30 sec each
Downwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each
Outwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each
Upwards (Left, Right, Center, Rotary) 30 sec each

Ball stretches:
1 min down separately
1 min down together
1 min up separately
1 min up together
1 min right together
1 min left together

Foreskin Stretches:
Hold penis at bottom of shaft, grip tight while erect, use other hand to pull skin away (top, bottom, and both sides) 30 sec x 2
While flaccid, pull skin over penis head and stretch with two fingers from each hand (top, bottom, and both sides) 30 sec x 2

Kegels:
Quick (3 second on, 3 seconds off) kegels for 2 minutes
Medium (10 seconds on, 3 seconds off) kegels for 2 minutes
Long 1 minute kegel

So today was measurement day for me. I did not expect any gains but here are my updated measurements. I actually gained some length!

BPFL - 4 in (10.25 cm)
NBPFL - 2.75 in (7 cm) - (0.25 in gain) (0.65 cm gain)
MSFG - 4.5 in (11.5 cm)

BPEL - 6.625 in (16.83 cm) - (0.125 in gain) (0.33 cm gain)
NBPEL - 5.75 in (14.61 cm) - (0.25 in gain) (0.65 cm gain)
MSEG - 5.625 in (14.29 cm)

Had a good PE session last night. I did my normal manual stretches, normal jelqing, and normal kegels, however, I did more foreskin and ball sack stretches. I’ve discovered that my ball sack really doesn’t like to stretch so I’m considering making a DIY ball hanger / weight thing. If you guys know anything that you usually have at home that can be used to stretch your balls let me know.

After taking about a two week Decon break I’m back to PEing again. Today I didn’t want to go too crazy so I just kept it simple with the manual stretching and jelqing routine already mentioned above. I didn’t do any of the other stuff that I was doing before because I’m a bit busy. On my manual stretches I used my other hand to support the base of my penis which helped target stretching the actual penis instead of the skin. And I added 2 minutes of glans focused jelqing to my jelqing routine.

I had a really good session tonight. I covered manual stretching, jelqing, foreskin stretches and kegels very thoroughly. I really felt my way through this session, it was very enjoyable. I could really feel my penis stretch on the manual stretches and expand with the jelqing. (I know I haven’t been posting a whole lot, I figured it’s a bit redundant to post every PE session, so I’m just going to post when I have something important to say!)

Recently I’ve been delving more into different grips and what’s works best for manual stretching. I discovered that I’ve been stretching with my grip over my “foreskin” (I’m circumcised but I was gripping right below where I’m circumcised) which is wrong, and I should actually gripping right behind my penis head with the skin pulled back. I tried to change it but I couldn’t get enough grip with the “correct way”. Then I saw hat you can use toilet paper to help with the grip and it worked wonderfully. It was a bit painful against my skin but it was nothing unbearable. I’m sure I will get more used to it as time goes on. Anyway, the stretch felt much different and it didn’t feel like I was stretching my skin, it felt like I was actually stretching my penis out. Tonight all I did was 18 minutes of manual stretching but the change in grip was important so I wanted to add it here.
