BK's Log

I thought keeping a daily log would be way too difficult, so I decided to do a monthly one. I think I will utilize this space not only to track my progress, but also to share my experiences and leave a post for questions that may come up between entries.

Updated Measurements

So, I am 4 weeks into my PE experience and I can say that it has already started to pay off. When I started my measurements were:

BPSFL:	5.75
NBPEL:	5.50
BPEL:	6.00
MEG:	5.00

Now these were initially done with a flexible tape and measured in inches. After I got my Bathmate and realized I could convert millimeters to inches in an instant thank to Google, I decided to measure in millimeters. This important to mention because I think my initial measurement weren't as precise as my new ones. My measurements now are:

BPSFL:	6.57
NBPEL:	5.51
BPEL:	6.57
MEG:	5.05
BEG:	5.50

So I have several thoughts about my progress. On the one hand, I can't help but wonder if maybe I measured incorrectly initially and that I haven't progressed as much as it would appear. On the other hand, the one thing I know I measured correctly was my BPSFL and I am pleasantly surprised as to how much progress I have made there. At the same time, it's disappointing that those gains did not translate into gains in my NBPEL, which would be the most important thing to me. I was also happy to see a small gain in my MEG; I didn't measure my BEG at the beginning, but I will track it, going forward.

My routine so far has been a combination of stretching jelqs (OK and V) and the Bathmate. I was glad to see that the hype around the Bathmate was true and I am glad I made the purchase. Right now, I am still getting use to it, so I use it every other day ( basically following the goodlookingloser's beginner bathmate guide). However, I am not following it to the letter, I have begun using my Bathmate with an erection. I probably go in fully hard every other time I use it and only for six minutes.

Goals for the next four weeks:

Over the next four weeks I plan on hitting a few milestones in my routine. One, I will reach my stretching and jelqing goals. I currently do up, down, left, right stretches for 50 seconds at a time and then each of those same stretches for 13 seconds at a time rotating from the down position clockwise. I then repeat the sequence ending with a counter clockwise rotation; I do helicopter twirls in between sets just to stay loose. My goal is to do the individual direction stretches for 1 min and the rotation intervals for 15 seconds each; two sets will get me to 10 minutes in total stretching. On jelqing, I am currently doing 300 OK strokes and 100 v-strokes. I am going to push that up to 400 OK strokes and 200 v-strokes. I will keep my kegel routine the same with 60 reverse front kegels ( 5 second holds) and 40 regular kegels ( 5 second holds) I will continue to jelq, kegel and stretch at the same frequency of two days on, one day off.

On the Bathmate, I am going to work up to going fully erect for 12 minutes at a time and, hopefully, using it everyday. I hope this will help me make more substantial girth gains over the next four weeks.

Parting questions:

I have a few questions, so if anyone knows the answers or can point me in the right direction on the forum, feel free.

Do length gains come quicker than girth gains?
Do you think BPEL matters during sex? I am struggling to see how it would.


Until next month, take care and good luck in your personal pursuits.

What's going on, PE GYM. I hope things have been going well for everyone in their individual pursuits to be all they can be.

Updated Measurements

So here is my progress after another 4 weeks of PEing; they are in chronological order from left to right.

BPSFL:	5.75	6.57	6.89
NBPEL:	5.50	5.51	5.59
BPEL:	6.00	6.57	6.61
MEG:	5.00	5.05	5.05
BEG:	X	5.50	5.78

So, I continue to make stretching gains, but lag in making substantial EL gains. I guess I am dissapointed that I haven't made any mid-shaft gains, but I hope that will change in the future. I think I would have made better gains if my Bathmate hadn't broke. It was a freak thing where it slipped out of my hand when I was cleaning it. It fell on my kitchen floor, which is tile, an the top snapped off almost in a perfect piece. I am going to reach out to the company to see if they can help me out. However, since this occurred fairly early into my second four-week period, I think that really stunted my girth gains.

I think another reason for no girth growth was simply the fact that I couldn't do my routine with the frequency I wanted. Between class work picking up and my wife being home more, I was unable to get in my routine 2 days on, 1 day off. Having this happen has provided me with new perspective on my goals and how long it will take me to achieve them. Conversely, I was happy that I was able to work up to doing stretching intervals of 1 minute, 400 jelqs and 200 v-jelqs. I have also started to periodically try out uli's. I have read on the forum that they are the best thing for girth gains, but I haven't read much in the way of a routine. I currently am doing five holding the squeeze for 30 seconds.

Goals for the next four weeks

Try to have two weeks where I get in five PE sessions
Work up from 5 to 10 Ulis
Gain at least .05 MEG
Remember to do my kegels ( I have been doing a really bad job keeping up with them)
Get a new Bathmate at a reduced price

Parting Questions:

-Any suggestions or guides on a good Uli routine?
- Do length gains come from working down your fat pad? I am starting to notice some dimples in my fat pad around the base of the shaft. It got me thinking that any NBPEL gains might come from working down the pad.
-Is it easy to focus on PE and EQ at the same time?
-For those with an upward curve, are you thinking about trying to correct it? Why or why not?

Until next month, take care and good luck in your personal pursuits.

At the quarter pole


What's going on everyone,

I hope everything is going well with you all.

Here are my updated numbers after approximately three months of PE. As usual, the numbers are in chronological order from left to right.

BPSFL:	5.75	6.57	6.89	7.13
NBPEL:	5.50	5.51	5.59	5.90
BPEL:	6.00	6.57	6.61	6.69
MEG:	5.00	5.05	5.05	5.05
BEG:	X	5.50	5.78	5.79

As usual, I am using a tailor's tape for these numbers due to my curve.

Thoughts about the last month

So, I am still sad to see that despite adding some Uli's to my routine, I still haven't seen any MEG gains. I am hoping to turn this around now that I am back to using a Bathmate. A big thanks to Bathmate who, after seeing the pics of how awkwardly my previous unit broke, sent me a replacement free of charge. I have also begun to see some improvements in my EQ, but I still am not sustaining a strong erection without constant stimulation. However, the improvements I am noticing will encourage me to keep up my kegels and reverse kegels. I am also concerned that I am not waking up with an erection. I am seeing all of the other PIs except for that one and I continue to wonder why. Anyway, I wont stress about it and I will continue to hope that eventually it will come. I wasn't able to have two weeks of five PE sessions, but I was able to get in two weeks of four sessions, which ain't that bad. I also started incorporating mandingo stretches into my routine. I do 2 x 40 sec stretches at the end of my stretching routine. I hope to eventually get to 2 x 60 sec , which would bring my total stretch routine to 12 minutes.

Overall, I am happy that I continue to march toward my 2013 goals and that I am seeing month over month gains. I think that in order to reach my NBPEL goal, I am going to have to increase my BPEL goal from 7 to 7.5 as there seems to be about an inch difference between the two measurements. I will not however adjust my long term goals by the same amount at this time. I mean I was already shooting for the stars and if I can even get to my BPEL goal, I think what ever NBPEL measurement that comes with it will be fine with me.

Questions / Random thoughts for next time

I have noticed that my BEG has made some pretty big gains in a pretty short time. Is that typical? I think that some of my ball sac is getting bundled in there and its hard for me to get an isolated base measurement. In order to negate this should I start measuring with a condom on?

Thanks for reading, see you in four weeks and, as usual, good luck with your personal pursuits.

What's going on everyone. Things have been crazy in my world, lately. Some great and some sad, but I just try to keep on moving. At any rate, here are my latest updates and thoughts.

First, the stats.

BPSFL:	5.75	6.57	6.89	7.13	7.13
NBPEL:	5.50	5.51	5.59	5.90	5.98
BPEL:	6.00	6.57	6.61	6.69	6.73
MEG:	5.00	5.05	5.05	5.05	5.12
BEG:	X	5.50	5.78	5.79	5.79

So, I continue to make progress, though not as quickly as in the early months. From what I have read, this is typical and I can expect the incremental gains to be smaller the longer I continue. I am really happy to see that I have finally made some progress in my MEG measurement. I think it is due to more consistent use of my bathmate. As a result, I plan on increasing my bathmate sessions from 12 min to 15 min; I'll also go from using it on PE days only to using it everyday.

My thoughts

So, I think I am finally starting to really see change in length. When I edge I can see more veins and that my dick is visibly longer. Interestingly enough I have also started taking some progress pictures. Sometimes I do it while measuring, but other times I do it while edging, especially when I edge after using my bathmate; it's awesome to see me at my max potential. I think apart from the physical gains, this month has solidified my PE pursuits as my own. When I started down this road, it was a journey that was stimulated by outside forces. I was doing it in response to someone else's feelings. However, over these months, I have come to realize that this hard work has been paying off and I want this for me. I want a bigger dick, I want to be able to have dry orgasms, I want to be able to have sex for at least a half hour and I want all of those things FOR ME!!!!

However, my situation ends up, I will walk forward in life with my head held high, good friends, a great family, support from this great community if I need it and a big dick...well, that last one will come with time.

Until next time, good luck with all your pursuits.

What's going PEGymers,

I know that I am super late with this post, but May was super busy. I finished my first year of business school and so I took most of the month to recover before I started my internship. I also celebrated my anniversary in May. I must admit it was a bit awkward because my wife and I are still working through our issues. On that front, things have been up and down. I haven't shared the entire story with you guys for fear of someone I know figuring out who I am. Suffice it to say, we have our good days and our bad days and we still have a ways to go; I will keep you all posted. Anyway, on to the update.

		26-Dec	25-Jan	24-Feb	24-Mar	24-Apr	21-May
Tape	BPSFL:	5.75	6.57	6.89	7.13	7.13	7.13

	BPEL:	6.00	6.57	6.61	6.69	6.73	6.73

	BEG:	X	5.50	5.78	5.79	5.79	5.79

Thoughts on last month

So, this is my first month of no gains. I knew it would happen at some point, but I didn't expect it this measurement because my penis, visually, looked bigger. This might have something to do with the fact that I couldn't get in regular PE sessions in May. This is a trend that will likely continue throughout the rest of the summer as I will be working some crazy hours. I have been pretty good in getting in at least a 15 min Bathmate session everyday. However, I think that this may be stunting my length gains for girth gains. That being said, I will keep it up for another month and then figure out if I want to change my routine. I have also noticed that I have warm up in between stretching and jelqing. When I first started doing PE I would go straight from stretching to jelqing because I had a nice flaccid hang to start with. Now, after I stretch my penis kinda tightens up and I have to apply heat to get it loose again for jelqing; is this normal?

Another revelation last month was that my wife found my Bathmate. She was searching for something in my bag and came across it. Surprisingly, it was a rather easy going conversation. I told her what it was, why I use it, a little about PE and PEGym. She took it pretty well and hasn't asked me about it sense...until our anniversary. She asked me if I was still using my Bathmate as well as my PE routine; I told her I was. She then told me that I felt "bigger" in her mouth when she was giving me head. I have to admit, that kind of positive feedback keeps me motivated to find time whenever I can to get in a PE session.

Random Thoughts / Questions

So, I will have little to know time to do PE as well as workout. Currently my PE sessions take about an hour with 5 minutes to warm up, 15 minutes of stretches, 20-30 minutes jelqing and then 15 minutes in my bathmate. The jelqing takes forever because I do 200 regular jelqs (400 strokes) and 100 v-jelqs ( 200 strokes). I am considering cutting my jelqs in half in order to cut down my time, but I don't want to stunt my progress too much. Additionally, I have abandoned most of my kegel exercises, again, because a lack of time. I do utilize what I know during my routine in order to make some progress. For example, I reverse kegel during jelqing and I hold kegels for 30 seconds during edging sessions. I really want to improve on my stamina, but it maybe something I put to the back burner as I use what time I do have to focus on length and girth.

Circling back to my Bathmate, I have noticed that I don't pump as long as I used to. Last month, my max length in my Bathmate was about 175mm ( I was pretty much right in between 170 and 180). However, lately I barely get past 170. Is this a sign of my penis getting used to it? Am I maybe using it too frequently?


Thanks for reading, see you in two weeks and, as always, good luck with your pursuits.

So, about three months ago, I typed a lengthy update post on my progress. Basically, I said that the summer was a lost season for me, in terms of PE, do to my hectic work schedule. As a result, I will only show Dec, May, August and all months there after.

		12/26/2012	5/21/2013	8/19/2013	9/15/2013	10/29/2013	12/2/2013	12/26/2013
Tape	BPSFL:	5.75	7.13	6.93	6.93	7.01	7.13	7.20
	NBPEL:	5.50	5.98	5.78	5.79	5.83	5.90	5.98
	BPEL:	6.00	6.73	6.89	6.89	6.89	7.01	7.09
	MEG:	5.00	5.12	5.12	5.12	5.20	5.20	5.20
	BEG:	X	5.79	5.79	5.79	5.79	5.79	5.79

I considered the last three months of the year as my "4th Quarter"; an opportunity to close out and finish strong and I have to say I a pretty pleased with my progress over that time.

For the year, I gained over an inch in bone pressed erect length, .20 inches in mid shaft girth and .29 inches in base erect girth. Lastly, I have gained almost .50 inches in non-bone pressed erect length. Now these numbers differ slightly when I use my ruler measurements. Using a ruler, my BPEL and NBPEL gains for the year are .63 and .33 inches, respectively. No matter which numbers I use, I consider both results to be very respectable for my first year of PE, which was only really 9 months of consistent exercise. However, they fall short of my goal of gaining 1 inch NBPEL on a ruler measurement. However, I am not discouraged because I think I set very lofty goals in the beginning. I know that I am pleased with what I am seeing and look forward to more results on the future.

Where do I go from here?

I think in 2014, I will start to attempt more advanced stretching and jelqing techniques and continue to use my Bathmate as a compliment and sole source of girth building. I will do this for the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, I will start hanging and suspend my girth building as I look to make some significant length gains. I think in 2014 I would like to have ruler measured NBPEL of 6 inches, a gain of .37 inches for the year. I would also like to get my bone pressed stretched flaccid length to 8 inches, a gain of .80 inches. I think the second goal will be key because I have come to understand that your dick can only grow as long as it can stretch.

I won't have the privacy to PE for the next three weeks, so I am hiatus until then. Anyway, thanks for reading, its been a heck of a first year and I cant wait for numero dos. Thanks for reading, good luck in your pursuits and Happy New Year
