Resting

Side note: Not sure if this belongs on the Beginner's Forum or PE Forum.

Resting days: I've noticed some posts mentioning that on resting days they do some conditioning/conservation activities on their penis, such as warm-ups, lights stretches, wear devices etc. Others give me the impression that they simply do nothing at all, just let it heal instead.

What would you recommend? Nothing at all or some light activity to remain stretched and avoid loss of work/gains?

When I was doing PE, I always took 1 or 2 days off. Letting my penis just do what comes naturally.

For me personally, I take 2 days off every other week. I do nothing the first day. On the second day, I take measurements, which includes a few stretches to measure BPFSL and if I measure EL/EG, that involves a little edging to get a full erection. My extender is pretty comfortable, so I don't need to take days off as often as when I was using a less comfortable extender.

Rest is necessary not only for recuperation but for growth as well.

Hey Big Al, how often and for how long would you recommend resting? In my case, I use an extender 5-6 hours a day at fairly high tension (upping the tension/frame length whenever it seems too easy to stretch into the extender). I don't feel compelled to rest due to soreness after 14 days, but rest anyway. Am I resting too soon/not enough? And to the OP's point, is a rest period complete rest or some kind of routine?

With higher volume/lower intensity training. you can get away with more activity, but unless you're at a very advanced level you should be training only 4-5 days a week.

You should be getting full rest on your rest days. The exception to this is live sexual activity.

It's really good that we need days off. Because some days I can get a little tired of the training. Personally, I think it is important to train the body as well, move a little every day for optimal blood flow and hormone production. I have also noticed that if I go to bed too late, it can also go beyond training. Both PE and weightlifting results can suffer even though I get 8 hours of sleep every day anyway. I mean going to bed after 02:00. Anyone who has noticed anything negative about going to bed late?

A lack of sleep will have all sorts of negative effects.
