expc's Progress Log

Alright... that was crazy. I was up until 1 last night writing a paper, and I was like, "Do I really want to do my routine?" But I thought about it and made myself believe, for better or worse, that I had to, that I couldn't miss a routine so early. So, here it is:

10 min heat
11 min stretching
10 min 20 sec jelq
2 min V jelq
~7 min stretching
~7 min warm down

The problem? I had to wake up early today. Sleeping late and waking early = intestinal problems for me. Yeah, last few hours have not been fun. But hey, I can still say I haven't missed a routine yet!

Off day today, goal is to not jack off and read up on other people's routines... after I finish this p-set for math.

Good choices. This is called the premack principle....rewarding yourself with good reading and not jacking off after doing math problem sets.

Long time no post! Here's how the last couple of days went:

12/5 - failed. Did only masturbate once, but my goal was to not masturbate at all, so that just did not work. Didn't even get any real edging out of it.

12/6 - success! Midday (pre-routine) I edged for a new record of 17 minutes. My EQ also definitely hit a 10 during that sesh, which I don't think I was getting before. For that reason alone, I'm excited to see my numbers come the start of 2012. (I actually pulled out the ruler yesterday... shouldn't have, but I'm at least liking what I'm seeing thus far! Will try not to measure for the rest of the month.) PONRed at least 3 or 4 times.

Another 1AM routine followed... here's how it looked:
10 min warm up
10 min stetching (up, down, left, right, out, 45 sec each 2x, circles, helicopters)
12 min jelq (lost track of time again, but it wasn't a very focused jelq session. Less erect than beforehand)
2 min V-jelq
10 min warm down
~10 min stretching

Pleased with what I did, 7/10 on the workout. Here's the goal for today:
1. Get the routine in
2. Edge for a solid 10 minutes... and stop. No load blowing whatsoever
3. Work on holding kegels when flaccid
Hopefully, I won't wait until past midnight again to do my session, and I can let you guys in on how it went tonight.

EDIT: Damn, #2 failed. I got to 9 min, at least. Still counting it as a failure, but it's an improvement from the past. I'm really starting to see the benefit of edging from a PE perspective, though, and I had an EQ of 9 or 10 for the majority of that time I edged. Still, I've been failing too often in my efforts to not "finish the deed"... should I keep trying, or go back to trying to abstain? I think I just need to practice more edging w/o ejaculation.

Well, that thing about not having another 1AM routine... that didn't happen either. Whatever. Routine:

10 min warm up
11 min stetching
11 min jelq
2 min V-jelq
10 min warm down
~10 min stretching

And I jacked off twice that day. Here's my first FULL, 7-day week of PE in review:
DECEMBER WEEK 1:
[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
1--2--0--1--1--1--2

Grade: (100 + 0 + 100 + 50 + 0 + 100 + 50) / 7 = 57%, F
Well, it's an F, but it's about the best F I could get! Hahaha. My only errors were in terms of masturbation, I did every routine (orange numbers below represent # of times/day). I saw a huge gain in terms of max edging time, which is nice. (And over 300% improvement from start!)

I'm going to start setting weekly goals. Here's what I have for week 2:
1. Hit every routine
2. Masturbate 5-6x (weening, trying to be realistic), and only blow load at erection level of 10
3. Get edge time to 22 min... only count it if I stop!
4. Do kegels consistently
5. Keep reading up to see what else I can do

And lastly, DON'T touch a ruler!

Maybe consider taking this perspective with the masturbation. Edge on a regular basis and you won't really need to masturbate simply because you will be edging with a positive purpose instead of mastubating just to continue a now useless and formerly maladaptive habit. Sometimes you will blow your load at the end of edging and sometimes times you won't. By allowing yourself to edge you'll be able to combine the pleasures of stroking with the power of long periods of engorgement coupled with learning how to optimize your arousal control. By edging only instead of masturbating you will rid yourself on now unneeded guilt and give yourself freedom to grow and explore.

Yeah, I think I'm now becoming more accustomed to the idea that edging isn't purely for pleasure's sake; before I started PE, I thought that' all self-stimulation was for: pleasure. Now that I've been PEing for nearly two weeks, I've come to realize it's other benefits.

12/8 - off day, masturbated once. Didn't make a concerted effort to edge, really.

12/9 - 19 min edge! I did blow my load, but hey, that's still a new max. time. Routine to come tonight. One thing... I'm not sure if it's beneficial for me to edge before or after my routine. I've been doing it before thus far.

[mvergasioin Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close mvergasioin]

19 minutes is excellent for this stage.

You'll have to figure out when to do your edging. For me, when to edge generally depends on a combination of availability of time and privacy. This gets especially critical when edging times increase.

INJURY SUSTAINED


Pain in left scrotum. I'm not a doctor, but I'd pin it to epididymitis... Jesus, constant aching in that region sucks. Not doing any PE today or tomorrow as I assess and reassess my condition. If pain remains by Monday morning, I'll probably see a physician. I began to feel it midway through my jelq session yesterday; I ignored it at the time and continued my session. Very poor decision by me, but at least I've learned my lesson.

Gutted to hear that expc hopefully the pain will go soon! I remember having something similar a while back, it didnt last long for me.

[mvergasioin Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close mvergasioin]

So are you in pain still?

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Hey guys, sorry it took so long for an update, but not much has happened in terms of PE. The scrotal pain is almost completely gone... so I'll be continuing with PE starting tonight. Week 2 was thus roughly a throwaway, but a very necessary one; I'm still nervous to start PE again, but I know that if I feel pain, that I should just STOP rather than jelq for another 10 minutes. The pain tended to transfer from one side to another, and the ducts still feel a little sore after ejaculation... but I now only notice discomfort if I'm thinking about it. I'm gonna ice after PE. I'll give this a few more days, after which I expect it to be unnoticeable...

Week three starts tonight! Given that I don't feel the pain again, I'll see through my workout.

Nice, pretty good session after so long off!

10 min warm up
10 min stretches
11 min jelq
10 min warm down
~10 min stretches

Pain in scrotum is coming and going, but the routine DID NOT aggravate it, so that's good. I just can't quite start my jelq at the complete base of the penis... it hurts when I do. Anyways, yeah, no V-jelq today. I wouldn't say the jelqs were phenomenal, but not terrible, either. I've lost a little of my EQ control while jelqing, but that's a given. I'll update with weekly goals tomorrow! And boy, do I want to see to it that this scrotal pain is resolved. Luckily, I'll have plenty of rest starting this Monday.

Goal for tomorrow: DON'T MASTURBATE, for health's sake. I think it aggravates the sperm ducts and perpetuates the pain I'm having. Just a hypothesis, but I hope it's right. That means no edging, either.

Good to see you back mate just take it easy

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Last night:
10 min warm up
11 min stretches
11.25 min jelq
2 min V jelq
Warm shower
10 min warm down
9 min stretches

Good stuff. Today, only a little bit of uncomfortable pain in the upper right area. I expect it to subside by tomorrow, but we'll see.

Goals this week:
Do every routine
Masturbate < 8 times
See to it that my pain is fully healed

Aside from PE, I'm also trying to gain back weight that I've lost over the past few months... right now, my BMI is only 19.5 (about 140 lbs, 5' 11"). Healthy range, but not where I want it to be. So, I'm trying to lift 3x a week and I'm hoping to hit 145 by week's end.

[mvergasioin Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close mvergasioin]

So with a BMI like that does weight lifting increase actual body weight or is a matter of increasing calories, etc.?
