What's The Biggest Mistake and/or Best Decision You've Made in PE

[ThinJohnny Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ThinJohnny]

In any field, it's always instructive to look at the things the veterans feel were the biggest mistakes they made in their careers.
It's obviously important to look at the things they feel made their careers successful, too.

As a total newbie, I'm interested in hearing what all you vets think were your best and worst decisions/moves, etc. It doesn't have to be an actual decision or specific routine you were doing, but those would be very welcome. Even if it's just that your attitude or expectations were hindering your gains, I'd be interested in hearing about that, too.

Also, by veteran I don't mean only guys with ten years of experience in PE. I have zero experience, so even if you have 3 months of experience, you're a vet to me.

I also don't want to limit it to people who have been successful. If there are guys on here who haven't been successful, and believe they know why, I'd be interested in that, too.

Thanks.

Biggest mistake I've made in PE was quitting 2 years ago after a few months. My goal isn't a massive increase, and I'd have probably been in the maintenance or cementing stage by now. Best decision, sticking around this site when I decided to start up again.

My biggest mistake was overdoing it. When you're first into PE and you realize that with perseverance, dedication and time, you can have the penis you want, you have the tendency to WAY overdo it. Such was my case way early on. I couldn't get a stiffy to save my life. Between the jelqing, the pumping, the dry jelqs...........all of it combined was WAY too much for my dick and my dick let me know. I remember my post to that was "EMERGENCY, GIRTH ROUTINE 911". JP at that time had instructed me to take a full 2 week break from PE. I was DEVISTATED! I didn't want to take time off but I had to.

Now, 7 years later, I attribute my patience, persistence, dedication and commitment to my success in PE.

Biggest mistake - None

Best Decision- Starting it and going through with it

i think the best decision i made was getting the rest of my body healthy - i did it, really, in order to make my penis bigger. my eq was suffering (though i didn't realize it) and my fat pad and belly fat were hiding my dick (my true motivation). now the healthy lifestyle that i took on to expose my entire penis has also given me absolutely raging woodies and more frequently too.

my biggest mistake was probably not following through with it when i was much younger. when i was a teenager i found an article about jelqing and did it for a few months, with no real payoff and gave up. that was like a decade ago almost. if i had followed through then and found a place like this i would have been in a much different place PE wise.

Mine was not reading enough....And not listening to my body when to stop.

PEskeptic...why was hanging a mistake for you?

[Mc Dong Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mc Dong]

Mistakes:
1. Kegeling incorrectly - The pelvic floor is a strange muscle and takes time to understand & control.
2. Jelqing at too low of an EQ - Less than 50% is a waste of time.
3. Not taking pictures.

Thanks for all the great responses, everyone.

PEskeptic, I was going to ask the same question averageguy6 asked. What happened with hanging?

Please keep the responses coming guys. This is great information for all of us newbies.

I fall into this same boat. I think the most I have done PE consistently is like 3-4 weeks and I have been on/off these forums (including thunders and *************) for like 5 years

I have always gone gung ho, and even though you might not see any visible damage...your dick lets you know by not getting hard, which affected sex with my wife obviously.

Biggest mistake...
Not following the 'less is more'. Took me too long to figure that out. Luckily I didn't injure myself, only did a TON of stuff with almost no gains to show (at the time).
Best decision...
Not worrying about gaining as much now. I enjoy it, and go with the flow.
