Reflections and Progress: thoughtfulgold

Hanging made my base girth grow a d not much else. I have even more of a traffic cone taper now and I’m perfectly ok with that. The first time I measured 7” BEG, I was ecstatic. Hanging feels pretty good that’s why I stuck with it.

I never mixed with it. Too much weight, too little position and angle variations and repeated attachment problems.

I’ve read up, I understand the theory better. I may be able to do it right now. Damn device still was uncomfortable as Hell though. I’ll try it after my CC and girth missions end.

I’ve researched almost every Penis Enlargement method that there is. I’ve tried more of them than I care to list or can even remember. I have things gathering dust that I don’t even remember when I bought them but for PE at some point in the last 7 years. But I have yet to take a medical gamble on getting bigger.

Now, this is not entirely true. I did in fact go in to a urologist, my own in fact, and see him about removing my skin tag which caused my curvature. However, given that this tag was attached since around age 1, I developed around it pulling me to the left and not much curve correction was done. However removing it did have benefits and did help the curve and my erection status reach a true 10 as I had never had one previously. But this isn’t about a simple procedure like that…we are talking about new age Penis Enlargement.

Like the fatty injections or the cadaver tissue grafts…or more recently, The Priapus Shot .

I was reading a user thread and he’s giving his opinion of his procedure. His results are early on, promising. It makes me think about how his own results could affect my own. As the shot is of course a miracle size generator, supposedly 10-20% of length and girth but it is based on stem cell concepts that reinvigorate the tissue, repair damaged cells, cause new blood vessel growth…all things that really would affect me, given I have sensitivity problems from nerve damage from the aforementioned botched circumcision. This is where my interest lies…but…

About 45 minutes surfing the net on my cellphone and reviews are spotty. No deformation or mutilated penises. But a lot of meh results, some erectile issues directly after the shot, some increased erectile frequency with less stimulation (which reads like a more sensitive penis and gave me hope) but that size effects are temporary and faded. If some effects fade…couldn’t any of them fade? And then…down I came. The bubble popped. The miracle lost its luster. Me saving $1800 I really can’t afford no longer was a goal or need.

But…this brings to mind how many men have been taken in by these sort of procedures. How all of us are wishing in the back of our minds for a simple, easy, and safe medical procedure to take our PE woes away. I haven’t been taken in like that for a long time…I thought I was over it. I guess not.

It’s been close to 3 weeks now. I’ve done nothing more intense than Lightweight Routine #1-Stretching and honestly, just idly tugging while I’m at the computer and edging. Nothing serious, nothing disciplined, nothing that shows any fatigue the next day. No jelqing, no ULIs, very few as in less than 5 squeezes in a session. Just regular kegel squeezing. I’m on cruise control.

Why? I again point to this: Cylinder heat- Modulate it before you blister the base of your penis where it seals. as about 18 days ago…I burned myself. Now I was almost 100% healed, save discoloration, about 14 days after. I’ve just decided to continue my decon till I’m good and ready. Doing nothing but stretches and edging is refreshing cuz I’m sometimes of the belief that PE is just too much work. So I’m relaxing.

Honestly, I feel bigger. I’ll take a measurement after my decon ends. My last measurement was on…*scrolls thread in a separate tab* 10/15/2016 so that’s about exactly 3 weeks ago or a touch more at like 23 days if my random count without using a calendar is correct. I’ll probably just draw out the decon another week to make it an official measuring day after 4 weeks then start up again. I’ve measured once or twice in the interim but nothing of the 2 or 3 day consecutive that would give you real numbers. It was more measuring to see if the injury had healed and my erect state had returned fully, which I believe it has. Plus, I was bored and left the ruler on the desk like a dummy. (Bad TG, no idle measuring! Ruler bad! Bad TG!)

But more thoughts on deconditioning, because people apparently don’t feel that it’s that useful to take time off. Honestly, not only are my erections more frequent with less tugging and edging but my loads are better in a shorter time span for some reason. Additionally, by stretching so infrequently I feel like the stretches are more effective. I mean going on three weeks and in this time span as a cummulative total I have probably stretched 22 minutes. I mean it’s like 3 or 4 minutes every other day or less while I’m sitting at the keyboard waiting for matches of League of Legends to load. Cuz I don’t stretch every day I game, either. And truly, to get PE off of your “first thing in the morning, last thing at night, when can I find time for it” part of your mind is important. I’ve gone on a few dates, prepared for a few more that didn’t pan out, went out and hung with friends during my evening PE slot…just stay loose and mobile. And I’ve lost count of the ejaculations I’ve done…and don’t care. I have avoided it so it’s no more than every other day or every 3 (though I had 2 consecutive at least once this decon) but…don’t stress. Deconditioning time is not the time to stress or give a flying rat’s ass.

Chill out. And chill out properly. Do not expect to decon the right way if you’re doing everything you normally do on your PE days the exact same way. You’ll have your dick in your hand and be halfway through a routine before you know it. Change up what you do, move around, get out, and just get your penis off of your mind. It’ll be there when the time for working out returns. Promise. If I could be relaxing anymore I’d be flatlining. *chuckles*

Take it easy.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Faith.

You don’t have to believe in God or a Supreme Being or in any particular thing but…there is one thing I recommend.

Believe in yourself. The undying knowledge that you can do what it is you set out to do is more powerful than any technique of accomplishing that task. Because you create the reality you live in. You bring a goal from fantasy into a reality with your mind, effort, and time.

It is a guarantee that enough time, effort and faith in what you desire coming to you will manifest what it is you seek.

This is simply the nature of the universe, down to the formation of the smallest cells and the largest stars. I mean the “Law of Attraction” is physics. It isn’t Karma, religious mumbo-jumbo (no offense to the religious among us here) or anything fancy. It is a basic law of the reality that we all move through in order to experience life. We live here and we live the results of the “Law of Attraction” quite literally every second of every single day that we are breathing.

I speak on this because recently, more than one PE practicioner on here has suffered from some form of mental block that slows and stops their progress with PE. And the questions become “how can I keep gaining?” or “what am I doing wrong?” when those aren’t the questions. It is the doubts and fears in the mind that are holding these good men back. And regardless the causes and origins of these doubts, they have to be surmounted in order for these men to move forward. And often, routines can be honed to perfection in a few months. A man is honed to perfection in a lifetime if he’s lucky.

Ganesh10in is a user here who is of a universally considered comically large size. The linked progress thread details his technique, has pictures but most importantly is doggedly positive and inspiring because he truly believes in only the good outcomes for himself and thusly attracts them. This…this is the power of that faith in yourself.

And we all have it. We just have to choose to use it and not stop using it.

Keep the faith because positive change never needs to wait.

Honestly, I’m glad you read it. Thank you for taking the time to read my works.

Measuring day is always trepidation. It’s been over 7 years and ever since I started actually hoping I’d get bigger, it’s been somewhat stressful no matter what.

Measurements as of 10/15/2016 are there and in that post I talk about the length gain I predict I have. But lets get down to it.

8.87”BPEL-
+.125”-I actually was able to mark off 9” and 9.25” respectively a few times but I reliably see 8.87” (really it looks like 9” but ain’t quite and I’m not beveling or counting for the 1/16” the ruler steals. It’s 8.9” till next time I guess) And the killing part is this is the same measure I had back in July when I joined Thunders. But it feels more solid.

6.125 MSEG-
+0- I think 6.25” is just taunting me. It isn’t flukey but it isn’t consistent. So I’ll wait till December and work diligently. Fluctuations are too fucking annoying and I hate marking more than I ought to. So I won’t.

But I’ll be working a lightweight routine as an experiment for this cycle. It will feature my Lightweight Routine #1-Stretching and lightweight pumping which is just thoughtfulgold Advanced Routine #1: Pumping with ULI#3 without using the ULI #3 and reducing maximum daily pump time to 30 minutes!

More on this here at thoughtfulgold’s Minimized Pumping and Clamping experiment where I’ll be talking about this and my theory that “less is more” more often than folks think and running the experiment for a while.

Hi thoughtfulgold

You think how much effect has removing your skin tag had?

It was like added meat because of Circumcision side effect?

My skin tag was almost 2 inches long and on my left side. It joined my glans to my shaft and pulled it to one side, painfully so. It wasn’t “added meat” but the curve with the tag was so pronounced that when I straightened a little afterwards I gained what felt and looked like .5” or so after I was done healing and fully able to get erect.

The above link is the skin tags, belated as all get out but…there.

Hey TG,

Been following this routine and initial signs are promising. I wanted your thoughts on the pumping section of the routine. I have the DP4000 and have programmed your exact settings but at about 18 mins I can feel the fluid starting to build. I have been doing PE for 4 years and was doing 30 min sets at about 3hg. I use a heating pad and warm up well. My question is should I lower all the settings by say 1hg and go for longer, like 30 to 40 mins, or leave them as they are and just slowly increase the time until I am at the 40 min mark? Any other suggestions would be great too. Also if I was to add your extender routine to this, how would you suggest I do that, as in what days to add the extender, before or after other exercises etc?

Many thanks.

Well…if you’re getting fluid buildup, do you have a silicone sleeve you can use? If not, I suggest maxing the pumping time at 15 minutes. Personally, my first night (which was tonight) I only did exactly 18 minutes with the pump because the intent of this routine is to be lightweight. Meaning the 30 minutes thing is a MAXIMUM and not really to be worked to. Just as a static limit. So if you have issues with it at 18 minutes, stop before then. It isn’t a routine meant to be run as hard as you can run it.

I would not recommend changing the settings because going longer is not the point of this routine. The point of this routine is literally to be abbreviated, simple and easy to do. For that same reason I would not advise adding the extender to this routine. I designed it to have a moderate to light level of fatigue, an extender or extra device would throw off the balance.

I mean you can take the routine and do what you like with it but you probably will run into different results, which may not be as promising as you will change the fatigue and gain pattern that this routine was designed for.

Ok cool, thanks. Appreciate it.

I’ve done a ton of research on this as well. Of course I had to consider a backup in case PE wasn’t working out!

But I reached the same conclusions more or less - the results just aren’t there yet. Some people have great experiences, more people have regrets.

The more recent procedures like PMMA injections seem safer (and less disgusting, imagine getting cadaver skin grafts sewn to your dick *cringe*) but the results are flimsy, some say it wasn’t even permanent as advertised and completely vanished after some time. others are left with a permanently disfigured lumpy penis. Ya just can’t win.

I’d rather say that I have a naturally big penis anyway (albeit with a little encouragement :P).

Priapus looked good on paper. I mean I saw no deformities, which piqued my interests a good bit but…it seemed like snake oil the longer I read up on it. And my snake oil budget left some time last year. *smirks*

Other injections…don’t think I want to be Shorty Mac. That dude is as big around as a true, old fashioned coke can when he can get that thing fully inflated…but it’s more lumpy than a bed n breakfast pillow set. Fuck that. When I first seen him like 7 or 8 years ago, an ex showed me a porn where he was standing around with it trying to helicopter I think…that shit looked SCARY. Never that. I want to resolve my curve but not with a fatty deposit and some hope and luck.

I remember the first clinic had me taken when I read about the grafts. They gave some “lubro-something-derm” name to the material they planned on attaching to you. It took me some digging to find out that was a fancy name for dead people flesh. JESUS was I mortified. Then there’s a guy who has a permanent erection due to complications of the surgery? What the—no damn way. Plus flying out and the costs? Hell no.

No one asks about how my dick got the size it is and I have told a few partners but…probably not anymore. Nope. Let em wonder. *chuckles*
