Way I see it, if you are forcing yourself to do PE on a day where you really don't feel like it your workout will be poop. Don't want to be in the mindset that you need to do this, rather you want to because you enjoy it. Always helps me to keep my goals in mind while I'm doing my routine. Helps me stay motivated.

I have one question for you, doing that many jelqs, how slowly are you jelqing? And are you using much lube or just a little?

Well, goals are one of my problems. Since I have gained virtually nothing in 10.5 months of (rather inconsistent) PE, my goals have changed from actual numbers to "I just want to gain something." Maybe I need to come up with some hard numbers to actual set myself on. "Gaining something" just sounds desperate.

And I'm assuming you are talking about the 1500 jelq marathon? That only happened once - and I was jelqing with minimal lube and with about 2-3 second strokes. The whole thing probably took me an hour or so to do...Maybe a little less. Can you say "ouchie!". Nope - I had no negative P.I.s from the experience. That's actually when I threw in the towell the last time. I figured that if my dick couldn't give me some indication after an hour of continuous, medium pressure jelqing, that my dick was completely indestructible. I think that if I had done another night of that, I would have noticed something rather negative.

The only obvious lacking in my PE for the past 10 months, other than consistency, has been STRETCHING. I'm inclined to believe that a combination of stretching and consistency is the key to me gaining. My flaccid has grown about 1/2" in 4 days of good stretching. Plus, I'm starting to get rib-like features towards the base of my penis - and I've read that these mean your tunica is being stretched-out very well. THAT is a good sign to me, because my BPFSL and my BPEL are only about 1/8" apart.

Very nice gator! those ribs are an excellent sign I remeber when i saw my first ones and i was scared but JP said that is your tunica being stretched out so there is nothing to worry about. Ribs are a very good sign that the tunica is expanding so what you are doing is obviously working! When i first noticed ribs on my unit they were tword the middle but now i have 3-4 on either side so im still stretching it out! Also obviously you have a super dick gator who can take a lot of punishment. So if he can take it just keep up what your doing as long as there is no negative p.i.s i just wanted to warn you, in the earlier post because i dont want to see you start gaining and then hit a road block you know. But even if you do dont give up! im sure you will succeed especially with this new routine. Also having to do with your attitude twords p.e. I think after you see maybe even a 1/8'' bpel gain your attitude will drastically change. Right now i think you see it as taxing and kind of pointless since you havent seen gains. But after you see that first length gain your mentality will change. Youll be like holy shit i did it. and then youll be off to the races to get your p.e. in everyday because you know what your doing is working. Now when i do p.e. i just think of it as another part of my day. It is my routine just like going to class in the morning. Just something i must do to get my day done. Also one last word of adivice that i have used throughout my whole p.e. journey thus far. Take every gain for what its worth even if it is only 1/16th inch it is still a gain! These small gains will eventually lead you to large ones so just keep that in mind. P.e. is baby steps. Just take it one day at a time one gain at a time and before you know it your gains will add up and youll be like holy shit whose dick is that! lol =P

Maybe just a suggestion or two from a new member but long time PE'er. Don't measure so often. Just do the routine you choose (hopefully modeled after some mentioned on this site) diligently and consistently. Pay more attention to how you feel and how your penis feels and looks. I have trouble with these precise measurements some people report here. The head of my penis can grow visably when I just contract the PC muscle. A really hard "piss hardon" can be much bigger in appearance than a "normal erection". Go with less subjective means of dertermining progress.

I'm actually refusing to measure for a few months. Overmeasuring causes me to get "excited."

My typical holiday season FLU has arrived. I wake up this morning, cold sweat, headache, sore throat, fever of 102°, and a feeling probably similar to that of being run over by a fully loaded freight train. However, I am still going to be doing my PE. I can lay in bed at night feeling like shit and still stretch my wanker because I think I am making some good progress. "Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness."

Someone said I needed goals, especially a more hard goal than "get bigger." So, I have those now. I know my girth is pathetic and it needs attention, but I've also noticed that people with smaller girths seem to be able to gain length easier. I know this isn't universal, but it seems to be the case. So, I'm definitely focusing on length for the next 4-5 months. I'm going to try and squeeze everything I can out of my ligs and tunica. Once I get to 7.00" BPEL length, I will be quite satisfied and then I'll switch to girth work. I'll likely clamp, pump, and jelq my little Gator heart out. But for now, my routine will stay true to what I've been doing. Basically just heavy stretching and good quality jelqing. Although I will in all likelihood get some girth gains as well. We will see!

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

God I have been seeing some great positives lately!

[NP97 Retired ModeratorPEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close NP97]

Haha... You may just be surprised. I have feeling that you're gonna gain some girth doing the length only routine. Attitude is key dude. Keep a good outlook on things and only good will come from it.

I'm hoping...

Also - rep point to the person who can identify the quote "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." from my previous post. And NO looking it up either you cheaters!

I too was a "Great Gatsby" fan . F. Scott Fitzgerald still continues to be one of the only authors I enjoy. I especially like that quote since the first part of it "So we beat on" described my attitude towards masturbation very accurately, in my days during high school.

Happy gaining,

It's one of the best books ever written! Rep point for you! Thanks NSF...
