Reflections and Progress: thoughtfulgold

Thank you!

I have recently obtained a silicone sleeve for pumping purposes again. This one is thicker and the intent of this sleeve is to occupy the tube with my shaft fully but do this in an oversized tube. This will allow me to exert greater force to expand the glans with more available space to do so. This is the same exact concept of the glans expander tube. Both thickwall and pumptoys make these tubes. I do not doubt their quality but I do not approve of the price.

Obviously running a PE4F session with the intent of head expansion carries additional risk compared to a normal session but I believe I’m capable of such safely at this point. My conditioning has reached a good place and I can modulate the pressures below 20hG with select exception.

I am of the belief that the additional pressure may actually not be different then when I packed the tube with the 2-inch diameter cylinder. It is just the opportunity to expand laterally that a wider tube would give if I use a silicone sleeve to facilitate a full cylinder pack. This concept is intriguing. And maybe worth working into my routine.

More notes after I try it.

Hmm that’s very interesting, I wonder if there would be an application to those who want to limit additional base girth. Seems innovative.

I believe your application is the exact same has my application in effectiveness theoretically here. As I am trying to limit base girth the most and then just limit the shaft girth growth in this application so that the emphasis is the glans.

So if you want to limit bass girth interaction you could actually probably do that with just half of a sleeve, just 2-3” around the base for seailing purposes and still encourage shaft and glans growth.

I haven’t been on TP as much. Is that a .25” BPEL gain in the last 5-6 months? If so, congrats!

It is. Lost weight so I’m past 8.25” NBP on good days. Can’t get that on camera stronger than 8.25” for now. Bone pressed at 9.25” is my very old goal from years ago. I’m super happy.

Thanks for the well wishes!

One of my principal tenants of when I will do PE is making sure I do it why my temporary expansion still exists. With my current routine of high pressure pumping and clamping it can last 2 or 3 days. So one of the things I like to do is use my intuition and let my temporary gains ride out naturally and then do another routine right as they start to fade.

Last night I lost that opportunity by masturbating twice. But I was having a good time. I believe that I’m on the right track and things are going well. So I’m not very worried about this. I just wanted to put down part of some of my technique.

I just spent a week riding that high, it was a good time. I did a few longer pumping set and then performed lighter maintenance sets for the following days to maintain the expansion. The funny thing is that I don’t think that Mrs. Engine really gave a shit that I had an additional 0.25”+ of girth. We fucked multiple times a day over the past week that I maintained my “fun cock”. So I guess I should be happy that she could care less whether I am 4.75” girth or 5.25” girth, lol.

I am going to jump back into predominately extending come Tuesday. Less of the temporary excitement and fun I get from pumping, but it will creep me closer to my interim goal, which is more length based at this point.

I suppose I need a more positive outlook on PE, because at 4.5-4.75” girth this makes me think “Shit, I’ll need to get to 5.5+ before any of my hard work actually makes a difference.” (assuming my wife is anything like Mrs. Engine)

Primarily pumping, doing this theoretcially takes you into plastic deformation if you ride it properly long enough. But that varies so much from person to person it’s too fluid a concept to implement for most of us. And too much a pain for the rest of us.

Having fun with it sounds way more practical.

Yeah, that really is what empowers men to gain. Not devices and exercises. Those are additions to mindset.

There are many men who’ve bought every device they’ve seen and tried every exercise and have gained nothing. They don’t have a positive mindset and they generate the results their mindset will understand.

Mentality is everything. Diligence comes second. Technique comes third. Everything else is extra.

I botched a session today. I was planning on some PE4F pumping and added a second clamping set on top of my edging. This, was overstimulation and I orgasmed prior to entering the cylinder erect and couldn’t pump. Talk about that here: Lost Round #1- Consecutive clamping for momentum!

But my entry in this log is how I still made a data point entry about my ‘failed’ session. How my ‘failure’ is still a step forward. Just because we don’t complete every objective in a PE session doesn’t mean the session is immaterial, doesn’t count towards the forever addition of time and effort that PE is.

Up till just now I counted failed sets where only clamping got done as just…meaningless. But they aren’t. They need full notation. They matter. They count.

Just keep that in mind.

As the summer waxed and got unbearable it has begun to wane now and it is now officially cold for the first day since May. And I might have forgotten that my furnace is broken. And maybe I will have to postpone PE yet again until I prioritize this furnace ( which is definitely going to happen seeing as the cold season isn’t even officially started yet) and find a way to heat my home so that it is an environment conducive to PE and comfortable living.

When it’s not one thing it’s probably two things.

My 2019 project is looking like it may be my last endeavor. I consider my high pressure pumping experiment to be in overall success and I will probably keep it in the rotation with my clamping. However sustainable length games has not been something I have managed to attain.

Enter my 2019 project.

I am going in on an LG hanger. I spoke with Stacy today over the phone. She spoke at length about the product and how it works. The measurement system that they use to fit domes is rather detailed and I like the way that they like to use a hand pump to pressurize to an exact measurement of negative pressure. That combination with the aspect of outgrowing a dome, signifying glans growth, are both elements I like. I am a big fan of measurable forces and safety as well as any glans girth and length to be gained.

Of course the hanger is being purchased for long term length gains and this is an objective that has been on my list for quite some time. Reaching past 10” is on my list and I’m willing to devote time and effort until this is reached.

I also have contemplated the custom pulley system I will need to sit at my desk and hang. I am mapping that out in my head because this will be my passive method. I’ll put in time as erections aren’t vital when hanging so it isn’t as finicky to prepare for. And honestly I’m excited to try it.

Success is a matter of good implementation and devotion. I got plenty of the second but I’m always searching for the first.

You said you never hanged before, or tried it and didn t like it? I am currently hanging and gaining and i am really curios what it is going to do for you at this point, seeing that you ve allready gained from stretching. They say that hanging should be done without any girth work, do you plan on pumping/clamping in 2019 too?

Interesting approach you ve prepared with hanging…
