Been reading here for a few weeks and just joined today. I'm a very fit 44 y/o
who has always thought of himself as on the small side. This is probably because I
seem to have a below average flaccid state compared to most other men. Naturally I
am thrilled by what I have read here and and anxious to get started. I'm starting out at
just under 6 with the best possible erection with a typical one being around 5.5.
I know that I am more or less statistically average but I have had reason to believe
that some of the women I have been with had at least some initial disappointment when
groping through my pants or when getting a first look. It is becoming more of a problem
for me with age as it is harder to get erect quickly and keep it there without some good
stimulation. Only one woman, a longtime girlfriend, ever mentioned that I was no monster.
She came from a family where everyone was well hung so that is not unexpected. My current
GF has indicated she is more than happy with my size and is particularly happy with my
performance, which I believe is still the most important thing. Still I would like to get at least
over 6 consistently as an intermediate goal since I am not married and new relationships are
likely down the road.

Thanks for all the good info and support you guys (and Gals) have posted here so far.

Hey marlin. Well your erect size isn't small. Know what you mean about the flaccid, mine always troubled me. Seeing some improvements now though! You're in the place to be, my man

Marlin,
Welcome to the GYM!! Let me be the first to tell you that your goals are VERY attainable! Then men and women here have oodles of knowledge, THE BEST in the business! Your in the right place my friend. I would suggest taking a look at JP's beginner routine. Contains your basic stretches and basic jelq routine. I have been doing manuel stretching for only about 45 days and have already gained 1/4 inch in all areas (except girth). Im a veteran extender user gaining over 2 inches in 5 yrs AND an avid pumper. Let us know if you have any questions ok! Again...WELCOME, make yourself at home

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I have been doing a very modest routine for about
2 weeks and I did notice a slight measured gain to just over 6" 2 days ago! I measured
twice and couldn't believe it. I looked up and saw my own face light up in the bathroom
mirror. I have not worked out again or measured since then, but it suggests to me that
these techniques are all they are cracked up to be.

Welcome Marlin! Actually it's believed that us older guys seem to have faster gains. We also got sweeter with time

Good luck man!

Welcome Mr. Marlin! I too have had my own problems with my flaccid size, and then used it to my advantage when picking up girls. You'd be surprised at how a bad joke can help you pick up a chick! Not to mention the look on her face
If you have questions feel free to ask, we will answer. A lot of members on here have such vaults of knowledge on the subject it's ridiculous.
Best of luck on your journey brother!

Welcome, Marlin. You'll find that your flaccid size will probably grow faster than your erect size. This is usually the case. I doubled my flaccid hang. You can do the same. Best of luck.

Best of luck to you my friend.

Many of us are concerned about flaccid hangs. I too have a small flaccid...but what matters is your erect size, your erection quality (how hard it is) and how long you can last before you cum.

Word Radio...you could have a lil teen peen when your flaccid but an elmers sausage when your hard! ha ha ha. Its when that teen peen stays in both states when we gotta start to worry!

Marlin,

Your actually running about average now, but with today's society...and the pressure on us men to be "hung", I understand your issue. If I were you, I'd shoot for 7.5 to 8.0 BPEL, you can do it, shoot big......shoot high....expect it to take time, but ....expect success.

Thanks all for the great comments. I'm not as hung up about flaccid size now
as I was when I was younger. But I would still like to look better and will
take all I can get. Flaccid state does seem to be running larger lately, probably
due to all the stretching and activity. Not sure if that should be chalked up as a
"gain" or not since it ranges all over the place, (gf does not believe in heating
her bedroom and it is always chilled in there). Overnine, I think you are right,
I will certainly be aiming higher for my errect size and the flaccid should take
care of itself. Now, off to the bathroo,,,.. er gym.

Welcome marlinspike, it sounds that you are already settling in which simply is great! Like the other guys said, if you have questions ask, but make sure to search the forum first because most likely someone already has asked it
