After four plus years I am sure you could do without the advice of one more person. Please hear me out. I am new to PE and accidentally stumbled across the Thunder’s Place thread. I am certainly not an expert on the subject of PE but I can tell you I have had tremendous positive results, and, in a short period of time. Consequently, I have formed opinions!
About 5 months ago my Urologist put me on testosterone injections because of a very low level of testosterone in my system. This increased level of testosterone caused such a high level of sexual desire (libido) that we (wife and I) soon found that my erections were not as great as needed to maintain our new, greatly increased, routine for sexual satisfaction and completion. Therefore I started looking for assistance in gaining a more perfect erection.hardness, longevity and repeatability.
I found out about the Bath Mate penis pump and purchased a HydroPump X30. Associated literature recommended Jelqing to maximize the results of pumping. Thus I soon found my way to this site and forum. I see a lot of dedicated people on this site.. Most are obsessed with the cause of PE and health. I will have to admit that I fall into this category now. I do feel that many of the exercises and manipulations are extreme and NOT necessary. Of course that is easy for me to say because my success came (and is still building) easily. Let me tell you what I would recommend. I would guess you have grossly over stressed your system for many months.
Limit your routine to the Bath Mate, Jelqing (by hand) and stretching (by hand) only. Do no harm (exercise, stress, manipulation) to your system that would not heal overnight! That is to say, “take it easy on your member”. We see a lot of information on vacuum pumps and all the hype about measurable and extreme vacuum levels. And, that such devices as Bath Mate do not measure the vacuum level.
My routine and the best use of the Bath Mate is as follows. Us a liberal amount of lubricant on your penis. Let the lubricant serve as a sealing agent on all areas that must seal with your body. Consider shaving the contact area for a dependable and continuous vacuum seal. Fill the Bath Mate with very warm water. The idea is to keep the penis covered with warm water as you pump it down. The end of the penis must be lubed to keep it from sticking to the internal surface of the tube, as it grows up the tube. And, it will grow! Do not go in with a hard-on. There must be growth within the tube. After the Bath Mate is pumped down by expelling water out the valve, you will feel a significant vacuum pulling you up and out. As the penis grows up the tube, more penis volume is filling the tube. Thus, the vacuum level increases to an extreme intensity. Occasionally, if required, pump it down a little more to replenish any loss. I don’t have a clue what the vacuum level would measure but it is enough.. You would not want any more! It feels great and it is NOT excessive. I consider a 10 minute duration at this vacuum intensity to be sufficient. Although, repeat this routine for 3 times. After or between sets, you can do 100 to 200 Jelqs but with care to stay away from the dorsal nerve up near the glans. The hydro pumping before the Jelqs will give you the sufficient and proper percentage of erection for a proper Jelq. After you get accustomed to this routine you will come out of the tube with a girth increase of 1/4 to 3/8 inch. This starts as temporary growth but with daily repetitions it will become permanent. And, growth will build on growth. With the minimal “abuse” to the member I do a 7 day a week routine with no need for a recovery day. My Jelqs and hand stretches are mild and somewhat like the videos on this forum.
Over a period of 10 weeks only, I have gained a solid 1 inch in BPEL up to 7-1/4” and 2 or more inches in BPFL up to about 6 inches. It hangs very well now. I would guess my mid girth was about 4-3/4 and is now about 5.0 mid way and 5.25 at the base. That inch or more in length came very quickly. I honestly believe it moved forward from within the body and now chooses to stay in that position. When I do my Jelqs I work that area of the shaft that is latterly within the body. Make it move forward! The stretches seem to cement the gains. Stretches are not too severe and pull from just a little above mid shaft. Stay away from the dorsal nerve below the glans.
I really think this will work for you. Be gentle to yourself, keep it up and with a good positive mental attitude. Remember the warm water in the tube and keep it as full as possible. This gives you a fantastic view. The light refraction between the plastic and the water makes that dick look HUGE. Keep telling yourself that it is real. Psychological impact works wonders.
Good luck my man!
