Libido's been in the gutter lately. Had to force myself through my routine today... I wouldn't say my EQ is bad though, just more of a low sex drive thing? Maybe I've got too many things on my mind or something.

Is libido factored into the EQ thing, or is it just purely about erection quality when you're in the mood.

My head's really been into Bloodborne lately, that might explain it all, heheh.

Well, I'm planning on upping to 12/12 on Monday. I'll do an EQ check after 1-2 weeks of that and then continue or change depending on the results.

Did a bit of reading today and decided I'll modify my routine a bit to go more in line with the TGC theory. Pretty sure my smooth muscle is my limiting factor so I'm gonna bump up my jelqing time and change to a +1/+2 min stretching/jelqing bi-weekly instead of the +2/+2 I'm currently going with.

So I'll do 10 min stretching, 16 min jelqing next week.
Then after 2 weeks, I'll do 11/18, after another 2 weeks, 12/20, and so on, so I'll be doing significantly more jelqing than stretching as time goes on. Hopefully this will improve EQ more over time.

Still not 100% positive on my rest day scheme... I think I may do 5 on 2 off, just to give myself a mental break over the weekends if nothing else.

Okay, I've finalized a new TGC-theory oriented routine a bit more. I'm planning on sticking with a daily routine at the moment. I'll start doing a kegel routine on MWF (15 x 10 sec, working up to 15 x 60 sec). I'll do the kegels during my warm up.

As for the routine, I'll be cutting down on the stretching and focusing more on jelqing since I believe the smooth muscle is my limit. My EQ's probably around a 7 or 8, and my BPEL is currently 7.375 and BPFSL is 8.00", so that also falls in line with the smooth muscle being the limit.

I'm going to make my workout time be about an hour total (not including warm-up+kegels), since I'm pretty sure I can stick with that consistently enough.


Week 1: 5 min stretching, 15 min jelqing.
Week 2: 6 min stretching, 18 min jelqing.
Week 3: 7 min stretching, 20 min jelqing.
Week 4: 8 min stretching, 22 min jelqing.
Week 5: 9 min stretching, 25 min jelqing.
Week 6: 10 min stretching, 28 min jelqing.
Week 7: 11 min stretching, 30 min jelqing.
Week 8: 12 min stretching, 32 min jelqing.
Week 9: 13 min stretching, 35 min jelqing.
Week 10: 14 min stretching, 38 min jelqing.
Week 11: 15 min stretching, 40 min jelqing.
Week 12: 15 min stretching, 42 min jelqing.
Week 13: 15 min stretching, 45 min jelqing.

I'll do this routine for 3-6 months and then take stock of where I'm at afterward. If I find myself overworking then I'll add in rest days, but I'm gonna try to stick with a daily routine just for the sake of consistency at the moment.

I've been out of commission lately. Haven't been doing PE. I've been finding the PE before bed routine has been affecting my sleep negatively, so I'm going to switch over to a morning routine. I'll be waking up earlier (6 am) to do so.

I actually did my first PE morning session today, and it went really well. I think it'll be good to do it first thing in the morning as a way to kind of set off good habits for the rest of the day.

I'm still going with TGC theory... I'm going to be aiming for 10 min of stretching and 30 min of jelqing (basically, newbie routine) after a few weeks instead of the 15/45 over 12 weeks like I was previously planning though.

Today, I did 5 min stretching and 15 min jelqing.
I'm planning on doing my routine daily, unless life gets in the way.

I guess I'll add to the time each Thursday until I cap out at 10/30.
I'll do:
Week 1: 5, 15
Week 2: 7, 20
Week 3: 9, 25
Week 4: 10, 30

I'll stick with what is essentially the newbie routine for awhile, I think. I'm following TGC theory principles right now and assuming that the smooth muscle is my limit, so if things go according to plan I'll basically be switching between a smooth muscle based routine (girth work oriented, basically) or a tunica based routine (stretching, essentially). If I find I have the time in the morning and feel it's necessary I may bump up to 15/45 in the future... but I want to give my current routine a good handful, at least, of months to work.

Just to make a general note here to keep up on TGC theory notes:
BPEL: 7.375"
BPFSL: 8"
EQ: Not great. Probably a 6-8 using the TGC scale, which I'll quote below for future reference.

10 - Raging rock-hard
09 - Very hard
08 - Hard
07 - Mostly Hard
06 - Somewhat Hard
05 - Semi Hard/ Semi Soft
04 - Somewhat Impotent
03 - Mostly Impotent
02 - Impotent
01 - Completely Impotent

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted here. I haven't been doing PE at all since my last check-in, but one big thing that's affected my EQ has happened: I figured out I have sleep apnea. Apparently I'd stop breathing at least 95 times every hour while I was sleeping, wasn't getting proper REM sleep, and was snoring up a storm. I'd be tired all the time and have to take a daily nap too.

I've been using a CPAP for a couple of weeks now and I'm not tired during the day anymore and I don't need to take a nap. I'm not snoring any longer and according to my sleep study I'm getting into REM sleep properly and am generally healthier.

I've noticed a serious boost in my EQ from all of this too. It's just a different level of hardness that I haven't had in I don't know how many years. I also seem to maintain an erection better too. I've still got a premature ejaculation problem, but hopefully I'll be able to remedy that in the future.

Anyway, this has kind of gotten me interested in doing PE again, and I decided over the weekend to order up a pumping kit. My wrists are a little sensitive, so I'm not sure if I can do jelqing or other manual exercises without sacrificing them, which is part of the reason I've decided to try pumping again.

I'm gonna try a simple routine of low pressure pumping 3 days a week, just starting off with a 15 minute session. I'll try not to overthink this routine much and just let it ride for a few months before switching anything up.

Not really sure what kind of size I'm after... I don't want to get too big, but at my current size it doesn't seem "large" on my body. I think part of the issue there is I need to lose weight though. Heh.

I got a 1.75" width cylinder from Lapdist, which apparently goes up to 5.5" girth as a recommendation, so... I'll get to that size, I think, and see if I'm satisfied. I'm starting at 7 1/8" bpel and 5 1/8" according to my most recent measurement.

I'm planning on getting into a proper eating plan to lose weight here too, as well as a good flexibility routine and strengthening routine to see if I can fix up my wrist problems and all that good stuff.

Anyway, this was a pretty long and rambling post, but to sum up here: if you've got tiredness/fatigue during the day, snoring at night, restless sleep, unexplained poor EQ, maybe look into sleep apnea as being an issue. It sounds to me like a lot of people have this as an undiagnosed problem and it's pretty devastating for your health.

edit: I'm actually measuring in at 7 x 5.25 now.
