Spice's Progress Log

[Spice Member Find all posts View Profile Close Spice]

Hello. I am a 29 year old guy and new to PE. Although I have been reading these forums for a few weeks, I just started on May 2nd. Yes, I am the type to read as much as I can about something before I jump in and give it a try. I hope to get some good gains and more importantly for me, better EQ.

I am doing JP's 90 day routine and decided to keep the log to document my progress so I can look back in the future and see how much I have progressed. Furthermore, keeping a log will help me stay motivated and give me more accountability.

May 2nd: First day
Followed JP's routine to a T. Warmed up with a rice sock 10 mins, did basic stretching with kegels. About the helicopter shakes, it was easy to do but I wasn't sure a count of 20 meant 20 revs (about 4 seconds if 5 revs per second) or 20 seconds. Someone please let me know.
I sometimes got an erection while doing the basic stretching and had to wait a while til I got flaccid again so I could stretch.

Proceeded with wet jelqs (50 reps, both hands = 1 rep, 1 rep = 4 secs so one hand jelq = 2 secs) and then V-jelqs (30 reps, 3 times = 1 rep, each time maybe 2 secs so 1 rep = 6 secs). Repeated this a couple more times for a total of 150 reps for wet jelqs and 90 reps for v-jelq. Let me know if I am doing these jelqs right please.

I used some lube I found in my drawer. It wasn't very good. Dried up very fast and had to reactivate it using water a lot. I think I will go find a good one at the store soon. What is a good brand? What about Astroglide?

After that, I reheated up the rice sock (1 min 20 secs in the microwave) and warmed down for another 10 mins.

Overall, everything went well, and the instructions were easy to understand (Thanks JP!) I did the exercises while laying down on my bed. I hope that is fine, because it was really comfortable doing it while lying down in the privacy of my bedroom. And I did PE right before bed, and plan to do it always right before bed. I am not a morning person and can't imagine waking up before work to do it.

Supplements
Just a multivitamin for now but I am waiting for my order from iherb to come in. It should come anytime soon. If anyone is interested in iherb, they have a great selection and great prices. you can google iherb yourself. Please use my referral GOH395 for $5 off your 1st purchase plus 2 free samples. Will update you when my supplements come.

Erection Tea
I made KingPole's erection tea for the first time. Just bought some ginger, and I already had lemon, honey and black tea. Boiled the water (1L) and then put in a few slices of ginger. Boiled it for 5 mins then turned off the fire and put in 2 tea bags. Waited for it to be cool and then put in it a tumbler and stored it in the fridge. I drank 500ml for the 1st time. Before drinking, I squeezed in some lemon and a little honey. The taste was pretty good. I liked the ginger taste. I will drink 500 ml a day. Maybe next time I can make 2 L's at a time so I just need to make this tea once every 4 days.

That's a really good thing that you started a log. Just a few comments...
Don't worry about the number of revolutions during helicopter shaking, just shake it for 5 to 10 seconds and that'll be fine.
If you can increase the duration of your jelqs, it's better: try to shoot for 3 to 5 seconds per hand.

May 4th: 3rd day

Last night, I PE'd for the 3rd time. It was kinda a bad session because of lube issues. Because my lube dried out so quick each time, I decided to try St. Ives Advanced Body Moisturizer with 100% Natural Moisturizers, and it had aloe and chamomile ingredients, so I thought it would be really soothing. (I didn't buy this, I already had it in my bathroom) However, I ended up having to reapply it many times as it also dried up very quickly. This was really annoying as I had to stop jelqing after about 15 reps to get more lube each time.

What was even worse was that In the middle of the second set, my dick felt really tingly, like the feeling of putting toothpaste on it and I quickly stopped what I was doing, hit the showers and washed off the moisturizer. After that, it was fine and I did my 2nd set and 3rd set in the shower. I used a bar of dove soap to finish it off. I know everyone says not to use regular soap but it actually worked very well for me while in the shower. It didn't dry up and I could glide my hands up my dick with ease.


I need help with which lube to buy
However as I do this on my bed, I will buy a better lube. What is a good lube that is easy to clean up and lasts a long time without reapplying? I looked thru the link posted above (thanks normalguy) and was thinking either KY Jelly, Astroglide (both water based), or baby oil gel which is cheaper but recommended by some users here. Is the baby oil gel alone fine or should I combine it with bio-oil and what is the difference between adding bio oil and not?


Further cum shot and the first benefit I experienced from PE
A couple hours after my PE session, I got a little horny and decided to masturbate. As I also masturbated the day before, I expected my cum to hit the upper abs area but it flew up to the area above my chest, and about 3 inches below my neck. I was pleasantly surprised about that. My cum usually shoots to my face area if I don't cum for 4 or 5 days but if I masturbate the day before, it always just lands on the abdominal area. I wonder if I can attribute this to my 3 days of PE exercising. Note: The only supplement I am taking is a multi-vit, which I have taken for years now, so it is not because I added any supplements. However, could the ginger tea (I started 3 days ago) be a reason for this as well?

Question: Is it ok to masturbate daily while doing PE exercises or should I try to masturbate less? I just don't want to overwork my penis.

My supplements have arrived from iherb.

Multivitamin with minerals
Zinc
L-Lysine
L-arginine
B-Complex
Ginkgo Biloba

It seems like a lot but I hope it will help with making a stronger penis and I am excited to take them.

I will have the Multivitamin and B complex after breakfast,
the Zinc and the Ginkgo Biloba after lunch,
and the L-lysine ad L-arginine with orange juice at night on an empty stomach before doing PE exercises.
Then will sleep after PE session.

You're the only one who can answer this according to your PIs: mastrubating daily could lead you to overtraining so watch them closely. And prefer edging to a quick masturbation session!

May 5th: 4th day

Yesterday, I took the supplements for the 1st time. Also I went to the store to purchase 2 products: Johnson's baby oil gel and bio oil. The bio oil happened to be on sale so I got it at a good price.

At first, I just tried the bio oil. It was much better than my previous lubes but still lacked some of the slickness I wanted in a lube, so on my 2nd set, I combined the bio oil with the baby oil gel and that combo worked like a charm. It felt right and I didn't have to reapply the lube mid-jelq, which was a big problem for me with the other lubes I used.


Are you supposed to see a blood bulge?
While jelqing, I see enlarged veins but I think I read somewhere that some people see a blood bulge moving up the shaft. I am confused because I don't really notice this bulge.

Edged for the 1st time
At the end of the session, I was horny because the lube felt good that I finished up with edging (first time). I think I did it right, just masturbated like usual but when I was about to cum, I stopped for about 10 seconds then resumed masturbating...I stopped about 5 times and then blew my load.

Popped out vein?
After, I went to the shower and when I came out of the shower and looked at the mirror, I noticed one very prominent vein sticking out and I could actually feel this bulging vein with my finger. The penis was flaccid at this time. After about an hour, the vein wasn't popped out anymore. But I hope that is a good sign! Finished up with a 10 min warm down with the rice sock, even though I always have a hot shower after the PE session.

Just started my 3rd week of PE exercises. No gains yet but guess it is too early. Hope the gains come after a month though.
Been taking the supplements everyday and erection seems to be a little harder.

I had a slight ED before I started PE and still sometimes unable to get a 100% erection now (probably due more to anxiety than a physical problem). I think this is due to porn and excessive masturbation (about 2 to 3 times a day). The reason I think this is the reason was I was always rock hard with my first 2 girlfriends and this was before I started watching porn.
Then my parents signed up for the internet and that was my first exposure to porn. I started locking myself up in the computer room in my uni days whacking off.

Then, I dated a new girl and although I had no problems getting hard when she gave me a bj, I just couldn't get it in after putting on the condom as it shrunk. This had never happened before and it left me with performance anxiety. Since that time, which was over 6 years ago, I had problems with not being able to get it up, especially the 1st time I sleep with a girl. (Slept with 11 girls since that incident and couldn't get it up 4 times the first time having sex). Usually I have no problems getting it up with the same girl after having sex once already, although on a few rare occasions, my dick failed on me (Either unable to get it up for penetration or getting limp halfway through sex).

In summary, I attribute my initial failure to get it up to porn/masturbation and the subsequent failures due to porn/masturbation/performance anxiety. Nowadays I am still trying to cut down on porn/masturbation but no matter how many times I say I am going to stop it, I can't stop. I guess that is why it is called an addiction. The longest I have gone was about a week and a half but I relapsed and started masturbating again. But I have managed to reduce it from 2 to 3 times a day to once a day or once every other day.

So I am not going to say I am not going to watch porn and masturbate anymore but I am challenging myself to only ejaculate once a week via edging on my off day. I think once a week is good for the prostate anyway and that it will help improve my EQ. By cutting down on the porn and masturbating, combined with the PE exercises and supplements, I hope my ED will go away and that, in turn, will eliminate my performance anxiety. Anyway, this blog will hopefully keep me accountable on the once a week thing as I will post here at the end of each week about whether I was able to keep my goal of watching porn/ejaculating just once a week.

I am exactly one month in. So far, no gains and slightly frustrated but hope that if I stick to it, I will see gains soon.

EQ seems to be about the same, but I have been able to shoot more and further. My sperm is also whiter and thicker. I am not sure if this is due to the PE or because of the Zinc and other supplements I am taking. But either way, that is a great thing.

I mentioned in earlier posts due to my slight ED, I would try to cut down porn and masturbating from multiple times a day to once a day. Well, I failed. That is why you call it an addiction but I managed to cut it down to three times for the week 2 weeks ago, and twice last week. Hopefully starting month 2, I can resist the urge and cum just once a week.

Hoping for the best in month 2, from increased EQ's to some gains. Oh, how badly I want some gains.
