Hey guys,

So I discovered this website and PE in general about 6 months ago. I was very excited by the prospect of being able to enhance my member through consistent work and dived right into the forums here to determine a smart approach. As many before me, I began with the JP 90-day program as it was highly recommended by the other members here.

I followed the Jp-90 pretty closely for about 2-months, (i know it was supposed to be a full 90 days but admittedly i got discouraged when i saw no results). At this point i took about 2 weeks off and read more on the forums about other people's approaches. Some people preach less is more so i went back to doing JP-90 with a 1 on, 1 off instead of 5 days straight followed by two days off. I went through this for about 6 weeks but when i continued to see no results i decided to try something else.

I found one manual stretching program that would have me stretch in 9 different directions for 30 second holds for three sets each. I was attenpting to focus on length at this point and no longer performed any jelqing. I would perform these stretches in the shower under hot water. After about 6 weeks of only these stretches I took another measurement and saw no descernable difference.

It was at this point I decided to buy the bathmate and for the past month have been using it approximately 4-5 days a week. I still do my stretch routine but have taken it down to two sets instead of 3 and follow it up with pumping at near max pressure for 20 minutes. Typically I break up the pump session into sets of 2 10 minute pumps to let some fresh blood in. I have been doing this for about 1 month now and have yet to see results in length or girth.

I am determined to see some progress but would ask others what they think would work for me. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You either need to change your form. Were you going for a good quality, deep tissue stretch? Did your penis feel "worked, but not overworked" after each routine? If you don't focus on the exercises enough then that could very well be the issue. Other than that you may need more intense exercises. You've been doing PE for awhile and it may be time to do more intense stretches and less volume. How were your PI's?

Pumping is generally more girth oriented. I pumped for nine months before seeing any meaningful gains. I did not see any length gains until I started using an extender and then it took six months before I saw gains in that area.

@hanstwilight I feel as though I am doing them correctly. It's all a bit subjective but normally I will feel a minor soreness that subsides within a few hours. I'm careful to make sure I'm stretching the actually penis and not just the skin and following my pumping sessions I always have a good plump hang afterwards for hours. Half the time I have some water retention which goes away within a few hours as well.

My PI are great. Strong rock hard erections, able to go multiple rounds during sex etc.

One thing to look into is using heat. I mean really using it. Studies have shown that heating ligaments for 20 minutes reduces the amount of force needed to stretch them by 20%.

That means just using a heat sock on you junk a few times a week for 20 minutes then doing length/girth work could be the thing needed to push you into making gains.

I have used heat like this and made great gains. Go got HEAT, 20 minutes.

@donttakecipro! Going forward I'll try to warm up better. I usually just get in a hot shower for ~5 minutes before beginning my routine.

Are there any stretches that people here have had success with in inducing length gains? I'm a bit hesitant about extenders and hangers and would prefer to go manual until ive exhausted my options first.

Thanks for the info DontTakeCipro. It sounds like its worth trying. Ima up my heating time with the sock.

Thanks!

I too have leather dick syndrome. Gains are hard to come by and take more than JP90 for me (albeit, I did get some girth from JP90; noobie gains I think).

I have recently started hanging and have begun (I believe) to see length increases. I started with the Capns Wench to prove or disprove its success on my leather dick. I have since ordered an LG and am waiting on delivery.
