A new kid on the block at 42.

[Yellowhammer Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Yellowhammer]

First of all, I would like to say that I have been an unregistered lurker on this and a few other PE sites for a few months. I would like to tell a little bit about why I am here and what I am trying to accomplish.

I guess 42 (will be 43 in just days) feels like I missed the boat, but I am ready to work at it. I am working at getting in shape in the gym, so why not work on my manhood too?

I have always felt a little inadequate. I have never had any complaints, I just always knew I wasn't "up to par". I have been happily married for 17 years now, and I can say unequivocally that my wife and I have been monogamous all that time and great together. Our sex life has developed from those early days of lust, to the lackluster days of early parenthood and busy schedules, to the current days of reliving the glory. We have probably had sex more in the past two years than we had between 2002 and 2010. I finally admitted to my wife about my feelings of inadequacy, and of course she poo-pooed the whole thing, but heard me out. She has been extremely understanding and willing to let me try this. Her only demand was, "You better not break it!"

I received my Bathmate X-30 this last Tuesday. I am just a beginner, but I have already experienced moments of confidence and moments of frustration. I am mixing in the Bathmate with a beginner's exercise routine. I was happy with those immediate gains even though they faded pretty quickly. I know this is a slow and steady process, so I am using those little quick gains as motivation. Honestly, my relationship with this pump is a love/hate thing right now. It would be great if it didn't try to painfully eat my balls under pressure. I am trying some ideas from the forum tonight.

Well, that's probably more than you need to know. I haven't done an official measurement yet even though I should. When I do I will add the stats. I am not trying to build a porn star rod, I just want a couple more inches of length and girth.

Thanks for joining and thanks for posting.
Enjoy the journey as much as the results.
Please look into the manual exercises and don't put all your faith into devices. JP's 90 Day Beginner Routine is a great place to start and use your time productively.
Yarrr!

Welcome to the gym

Very cool that you got your wife's blessing- too many men are to embarrassed to talk to their wives about this stuff and end up hiding it. Who knows, she may even gain some interest herself and let it spark something new into your relationship.

Have you checked out the JP90 routine in the beginners section? I'd recommend basing your PE on a manual routine like this, adding the pump for a post workout wind down.


Good luck

I have checked out the JP90 routine. I am going to start using it tonight. I just have to learn all the exercises and techniques. So far I have been sort of winging it on my own.

Your wife is an understanding person, and this forum is as well. Welcome aboard!

It's good to have another mature member here. I hope you will continue to interact here. You don't ever need to be afraid to ask for advice here when you are uncertain about anything.

(You wrote a nice introduction.)

Welcome to the Gym Yellowhammer.
It's so much better that your wife knows about it from the beginning. Of course she has the same demand my wife and any wife would. They would much rather have a functioning penis than a larger broken one. Just don't overdo it. Stick to the routine, take rest days (very important), and be consistent. Ask questions if you may have. Don't consider any question stupid. Better to get the right info going in rather than make a mistake and hurt yourself.

Another thing to consider is to have your wife check out the Gym and even join if she desires. Having a woman's perspective on things goes a long way for the guys here. We have a handful of ladies and two couples here and would love to have more. Both you and your wife will learn to love the great people here just as my wife and I have.
