I've kept an eye on this forum for the past few years, but never had the discipline to be consistent. But this time I'm ready...


I made it a goal this month to kick all the bad habits in preparation for the new year.


My flaccid is usually turtled. Most likely due to my excessive usage.
I've been reading the forum about hard flaccid and figured if i was to take this seriously, I need to fix the stiff and move toward a strechier penis.


Since the beginning of this month, I've stayed on the path of no porn, masturbation, and smoking.
When i got my med card about 5 years ago, i asked the doctor about why I haven't been dreaming and she told me that is normal.
I found that for most people who smoke bud before sleeping never reach REM sleep. Quality sleep is when your body releases the most hormones!
I've been lacking morning erections this year from stress/poor sleep, and if I'm to keep an eye on EQ for PIs, I need to take bud out my life for the PE journey.


I have the phallosan and just bought the bathmate x20. I plan to use them in conjunction with the JP90's beginner routine at the beginning of the year.


But as for now, I'm using the phallosan without the hook and the belt to focus on my flaccid hang and overall stretchiness.
I use a warm rice sock before i put it on, after i put it on, and then whenever i get the chance.
I've also began doing pelvic floor stretches from a video someone suggested.

I write this post to let you guys know that since i stopped the bad habits, my flaccid hangs just a tad bit longer. Nothing crazy but it feels like summertime.
But what i enjoy the most is that its not super stiff and I've been having vivid dreams! I also had a STRONG morning erection.
My main goal is to continue this to ensure that when i start next year that I will be at prime stretch.


I welcome anyone new who is reading this to join the challenge for the remainder of the year if you feel like you have the same issue.


I will measure and plan a routine the closer the year ends. But as for now, I'm trying not to obsses, going with the flow, learning, and enjoying the journey.
Remember to always be safe when doing this and take it slow.
Big blessings to everyone in the struggle, everyone on the journey, and everyone who have achieved results but continue to help those who havent.

Hey Badk!

Welcome to the Gym

It would be a good idea to click on the Start Here button at the top left of the page. Lots of good information on what the Gym is all about, including best practices and safety tips.

Remember, Jelq with an erection level between 40 and 70%. Do not grip too tight, just enough to feel blood moving up the shaft . When stretching, grab your shaft about one inch below the glans and do not pull too hard, just enough to feel a slight stretch. Let your PIs be your guide as to how hard to do your exercise.

Don’t forget to take good starting measurements and photos so you have a solid base to compare your gains to.

PE safely and good luck with your endeavors .

Were you a heavy smoker?

My erection quality has always been an on and off issue when having sex with my previous girlfriends. It could be the smoke, it could be the effects of porn and fapping, but it probably has a big issue with performance anxiety. I used the smoke to relax while having sex and it definitely helped, but it wasn't long lasting. I'm not sure if smoking was the main factor as to why my EQ was low, but in my mind in the past I thought it helped.

Since getting rid of all three vices I cant really say which was the best help for me. I actually stopped smoking about two weeks into November. But when is stopped smoking and just fapped and watched porn, EQ was still low.

Just got out of a relationship and have the cliche feeling of wanting to better myself. I would smoke half an ounce of bud every week. A half and half mix of blunts and joints. I've reached the point of wheezing after my walks. And I've been smoking herb daily for majority of the past 15 years (took small half week breaks here and there). I told myself if I was to do this that i need to go all in or else I'll feel like I'm wasting my time.

Brother if you want to stop smoking you got this! And on top of that, you get to save money! Its hard to stop bad habits that have been deeply ingrained over the decades. During the past I've had urges to stop, but ignored it. Since losing my love due to my negative habits, I'm long overdue for a fix up. I'm still on my journey. I need to finish this month strong before I feel like I've done something though. But very thankful for this forum to help me keep on the path of not just PE, but to improve as a person.

PSA for everyone
Don't ever lose anything you care for from your addictions because you'll regret it big time just like I'm doing right now. Learn from my mistake if smoking or whatever bad habit you do doesn't benefit your life. I miss that woman.

Thank you for the welcome everybody. I hope to learn from the community and share my results if anything does happen.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Smoking weed is very easy to quit. I used to do it long ago. It made me last as long as I wanted during sex. But I felt crap that I had to use to last longer. But don't go back to it, there's more harm than there is good in it.

I'm trying to improve the premature ejaculation problem. Have had some success, but I've been smoking heavy since lockdown in March. I think it does effect EQ. PE helps that but I still have a way to go.

I quit cigarettes on and off. Once I quit for over a year. But because of weed for premature ejaculation issues I used to smoke cigarettes as well and before I knew it, I was hooked on cigarettes again.

I need to stop smoking cigarettes for good. Been seeing good gains from PE so it's proof that if you put your mind to something...

Anyway, all the best in improving yourself. Remember you must acknowledge and start improving spiritually in parallel with physically. Don't be a being who neglects the good of his own soul. It will be a battle and you're allowed to make mistakes. Just turn to The Creator whenever you do, and soon you will see improvements.

Sorry about losing your girl. If it's possible to move on, then do, else try to make it work or make peace.

I've been enjoying the short term effects of not smoking, but look forward to the long term benefits. And that curiosity sparked my PE journey. I'm not going to lie, the first couple weeks was tough. But theres a mental clarity that makes me feel like the skys the limit on everything. I'm happy to hear about your success from PE as that helps us newbs motivated and curious about the possibilities. How long have you been since you started PE? Did see any improvement in your premature ejaculation when you didn't smoke weed?

Keep on your path, and when you're ready for the next to step, you'll know. What helped me was removing the triggers that brought on the urges during the first two weeks i stopped. Now i can look at my leftover stash and tell myself no. Tobacco and nicotine is a different beast on it own. What methods worked for you in the past? Did you go cold turkey or did you ease your way out of it? Did you have a friend keep you accountable?

I really appreciate your advice. Thank you for your reminder as this transitory stage is... shaky. It wasn't just the weed that was an issue, it was a mix of so many other things I've neglected in the past that I dumped on her. But like you said, I truly do believe that improving myself will have to come from not just a physical change, but a spiritual and mental change. And I'm on it brother.

I appreciate it. but it is what it is... She will be happier and better without me. Making peace with myself is my main goal now.

Might be a dumb question, but If my stretched flaccid length is almost equal my erection length, does that play an influence in how fast I will see gains?
