Obviously, I'm quite disappointed with my girth gained this last month. I specifically focused on girth routines to include pumping, clamping, squeezes and jelqing – so I'm surprised at how slow my girth is gaining. I guess that my thought moving forward is that if I can gain 0.1” per month, then in about 6 months I can be at my girth goal of 5.5-5.75 – worse case scenario I think would be a year. No big deal, I'm in it for the long haul.

Length on the on the other hand has done quite well for me – understandably so since I've been able to average 10 hours per day in my extender for the entire 90 days. Still – I'm behind the 1” per 1000 hours mark, and more likely around 1200-1300 hours per inch mark. I was just 3/16” away from hitting 1” in my first 90 days – I'm pretty happy with that! Hopefully 90 days from now I'll be celebrating being in the 8”+ club!

Overall, I've increased the volume of my penis 37% in 90 days. I was really hoping for a bit more, but recent girth gains really hindered me in the volume department (if I could have put on even just one more tenth of an inch in girth, it would have been a 43% increase!). I realize that my newbie gains are all used up, and realistically the percentage of volume increase per month is going to be much lower in the future. I will continue to experiment and track my progress, and hopefully find the most efficient method for me to continue to gain towards my goals. I am open to any suggestions that you guys may have for me moving forward, especially when it comes to gaining girth!

What I have learned about my gains
In all actuality, my gains probably aren't as dramatic as they would seem. While in the beginning, I thought my EQ was excellent, I have come to find that what I once perceived as a 10 EQ level was actually quite a bit lower. For this reason, my starting stats were likely a bit higher, but a true EQ gain is still a gain none-the-less. Another reason is that towards the end, much more attention was paid to make sure that I was measuring my absolute maximum, something that wasn't quite as important when I first started. Never the less, I'm taking my numbers as true gains, and realize that when comparing my gains to others that have documented their gains well, the situation is probably very similar. Also, if you look at the dates, my journey has been a bit more than 90 days at this point, but I didn't count some days that I took off during the holidays etc, but its been roughly 3 months.


My initial goals
Here is a list of my initial goals from my introductory post, as well as my progress towards achieving them:
I'm a "grower". Despite having decent erect measurements, my flaccid penis is quite small (3 inches in length by 2.5-3 inches in girth)
ACHEIVED! While I'm not a huge shower now, I'm definitely well out of the grower category!

On top of being a "grower", my scrotum is always very cold and very tight and close to my body nearly all the time. Its so bad that my penis doesn't even hang down, it actually sits on my bunched-up balls at about a 45 degree angle. I think this is because I have really low bodyfat (My NBPEL and BPEL measurements are only different by less than 1/2") and my body and extremities are normally pretty cold. Though at times if I'm really warm or take a long hot bath, everything looks and hangs "normal".
The combination between being a grower and having tight balls makes me very self conscious being nude around my wife.
IN PROGRESS... I have been doing daily scrotum stretches every single day since the end of the first month. I have definitely made some progress, but there is still a long way to go here. Eventually I'll be getting some weighted ball stretchers, but until then I will continue with my manual routine – which includes 4 different stretches lasting 60 seconds each.


My penis is naturally baseball bat shaped when erect (I have never done PE in the past). It is very small in girth at the base (a little less than 4")
This was solved after the very first month! My only guess is that it was more of an EQ issue than anything. Also, my CS never used to inflate. It now inflates fully with the CC, and this also probably accounts for much of my girth gain and further supports the theory that it was more of an EQ issue than anything.

My penis has a slight curve down and to the right when erect. Its not terrible, but would like to straighten it out!
I would say this is 90% complete. The curve is almost gone all together, but not completely. I also think the illusion of a downward curve was also amplified with the fact that my CS didn't used to inflate.

My Advice
My advice for anyone interested in starting PE is to first take as much time as possible to read everything you can find on the subject. There are several good books, as well as sites like this, Thunders Place and Matters of Size to name a few. Learn everything you can before actually starting, it will not only help you have a realistic idea of what you can gain and how fast, it will also teach you what to look out for and what to avoid.
I also think that if you are married, or in a committed relationship – you owe it to yourself and your partner to share what you are doing. They may not understand it, but you should man up and at least ask for their support and understanding.
Obviously extenders are big on my list of essential tools. They are proven to work, and extending has worked very well for me. No matter what I see others say, I believe this is one device where you should not skimp on cost! Simply put, a cheap eBay extender is not in the same league as the nicer extenders out there. For something you will likely want to wear for literally thousands of hours, comfort and ease of use simply trump everything else, including price.
I also used a Bathmate pump a lot – though more as a warm down device. I think its great for this purpose – but if you are going to get serious into pumping, you will be much better served with a good air pump. Besides, a good air pump with a catch can will also hydropump if you want to!



Moving Forward
I'm now taking my full 2 week break from PE to rest my body (and my mind). I'll be starting up Feb. 1st with my new “DJ28” schedule, which mimics my swing shift work schedule. The idea is to PE only on days that I work (since my 12 hour shifts kill my entire day anyways), which leaves all my days off free to enjoy with my wife and family. It works out to a 50% schedule which repeats every 28 days as so:


PE PE PE PE OFF OFF OFF OFF PE PE PE PE PE PE OFF OFF OFF OFF PE PE PE PE OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF

I'm also going to start putting together a nice air pump. I like my bathmate, but it seems better as a warmdown device than for serious pumping work. I am also thinking of paying for a month of Big Al's services – perhaps he can read through my blog and give me some suggestions that will jump-start my girth. I looked at the prices the other day and was very surprised at how affordable they are. Though I feel experienced and have tried and read about most exercises, I'm not so naive that I'm above getting advice from someone more experienced than myself.

My views on things so far
When I first told my wife, she didn't react very well to the idea. I later found out that the whole concept made her worry that I would gain too much confidence and want to leave her for someone else. After talking to her and alleviating her concerns, she was much more content with it. She has admitted to enjoying the girth gains more than anything, and I definitely think it has sparked our sex life. Not so much from the increase of size, but from the increase in communication and the opportunity to share new experiences together. Later in the journey she didn't want me to work on girth anymore at all. She finally explained why a while after. She has always had very good technique with oral that I've thoroughly enjoyed. She was realizing that changes in girth weren't allowing her to be able to use the same techniques as before. Eventually, she came up with new techniques that worked just as well, and gave me the go ahead to continue with girth work. Of course, if length or girth become a problem for her in the future, we will continue to discuss if I've reached a point to stop gaining. Another thing to mention here is that after birthing children and having a partial hysterectomy (she has no cervix anymore), things weren't fitting the same as they used to (which was making me feel too small). The good side to this is that with no cervix, length gains aren't so much of a concern.
I know that if I would have never started PE, she would still love me just the same and have no complaints. In the end I'm happy to have started this journey. I now have more confidence, a better sex life, better communication with my wife and a fun hobby with plenty of challenges. I definitely plan to keep PE as a permanent part of my lifestyle, and hopefully someday fully achieve my goals.


My wife's views on things so far
Below was written by my wife herself as she wanted to give her feedback on everything. I told her about me doing PE just a couple of weeks into it. She wrote this before reading anything that I had wrote:



Hello. When my husband first told me that he was doing PE, I was a mixture of emotions. To be honest, I was against it. I tried my hardest to be supportive of his decision, but I honestly didn't want him doing it. I still left it up to him, obviously. I was happy that he did share with me that he was doing it though.
I didn't even know that the penis could be changed so much permanently. My husband's PE journey has been not only a learning experience for him, but also for myself. I took the initiative to learn a few things on my own as well.
He would share with me what his routine was going to be most days. He was very honest and open. I also was honest and open with how I was feeling about it all, but still tried to remain supportive of my husband. I knew this was important to him. He was proud of the progress he was making.
Once I explained to my husband my fears about PE and the potential negative affects it could have on our sex life, he reassured me of my fears. Since we were both being honest and open with each other about our fears or expectations, we were able to set limits on things, which was reassuring for myself and allowed me to be more comfortable with the PE. Even though I was happy and very much pleased with my husband, his penis, and our sex life before the PE, I do like the changes that have been made all around. He is more confident in himself, he has a great sense of pride, and he seems very pleased with the results so far. I can honestly say that I do like the results as well. My only complaint was the amount of time that was going into the PE. I expressed my unhappiness with the amount of time it was taking, and we compromised on a solution. That's one thing about my husband, is when he puts his mind to something and he wants to accomplish something, there is no stopping him!! He dedicates himself to any given project 200%, but I love that about him.
