I lied! Apparently, that ‘increase’ I had seen from the last time I did PE to this one was just measuring differently. I now believe I used to measure as recommended (ruler on the front of the penis when looking down on it) but this time I had started doing it from the side. It boosted my measurements quite a bit -around 0.5in from what I could tell. So, yet again, take my past measurements with a grain of salt. Or even better, straight up ignore them. Use my first measurements as the ‘real’ ones. It seems like I’ve made very similar progress in both cases.
I had been suspicious but hadn’t put much thought on it until I began to question whether I really was almost 7in, as I definetly didn’t feel that way. I felt bigger, but not 7in big, lol. So, now that I’ve finished my third week and remeasured, here are my real (hopefully) measurements:
NBPEL: 15.2cm, ~6in
BPEL: 16.3 ~ 6.4in
At the very least, I know if I put it side to side with my iphone XR (which is roughly 6in plus the case), it’s slightly bigger. So, I do think it’s decently accurate.
So, yeah. Nowhere near 7in or my max measurement from the side, 6.8in, lol. I took them after the 2 day rest though, so maybe they could have been slighlty larger if I had done it with hanging the day before. For consistency sake I’ll keep doing BPEL, but I’d like to get the NBPEL to at least 7in. The first milestone was 6in (as I imagine I probably wasn’t quite there yet before starting), and the next one is 6.5in, then 7in. It would be really good if I could. I am also going to be doing something closer to 5 on 2 off instead of everyday as sometimes I’d feel I wasn’t recovering. Maybe even 3 on 1 off 2 on 1 off, adjusting as schedule allows. Also, quick question, how does one know when to increase the weight? I feel like I have a lot of trouble with making the vacuum consistent and it not slipping, but when it does, I get a really good stretch. This is also another reason why I thought a break might be nice. Besides it being difficult to find the time everyday, sometimes after 2-3 good days it would slip a lot and I’d quickly get frustrated. But going back, with those good stretches, it doesn’t feel like I should increase the weight. It sometimes even feels like too much (not a scary pain, just, you know, taking it easy). I am considering trying a lower weight yet again and finding a sweet spot where the stretch is just barely noticeable. I was doing 2.75lb, but I might try 2lb, although I don’t know if me having tried higher weights made me more resistant to growth with lower weights. I imagine that if I over do it (assuming that’s what’s happening) I would see a lot of turtling right after and the immediate result would be a temporarily smaller stretched length, but if I applied just the right amount, maybe the stretched length would be longer than my usual, as I would expect. So, I also think I was wrong about the stretched length being longer after hanging, or at least for this third week. I don’t know if this is a bad sign or if it’s what’s expected. The other PI’s are pretty much the same as what I had described.
