I feel I should delete the post above. I'm using it personally as a reference point, but if it's not appropriate.. I will.

is my routine too complex? Should I simplify it a bit?

We'll see :P

I did a cheat measure again (I need to stop this ugh)

I did PE full tonight, so 2 hours post-PE... I am @ 6.2" x 5.0" still and BPEL is 6.55/56" x 5.0"

I'm ALWAYS afraid I'm over measuring somehow... like I'm cheating? I measure from the top right of my shaft pressed lightly against the skin and then for BPEL, I push the ruler to the bone (hence BPEL)... kind of like the measurement picture on Mr.Average's home page, but slightly more towards the center and not so off to the side.

If you think thats a probelm try not measuring while edging. Your dick gets to its max size when you edge or balloon. Possibly a size you never seen or felt before.

What are the chances it may retain that size the next time... I edge 3-4 times per week... I edge on PE days (jelq/str) and then once more on a non-PE Jelq/Str day...

and I'm either having sex or masturbating at least once a day... everyday so far... has not hindered my gains... but I'm afraid it could.

Keep doing what works for you and try not to second guess yourself. Otherwise, you'll drive yourself crazy, good man. I have always measured my dick obsessively--six years now and counting. It may not be the best thing for some people, but it keeps me motivated. Just make sure you measure exactly the same way and on exactly the same part of your penis each time you measure so that you don't fool yourself.

The problem is that our cocks are always "waxing and waning." So try to measure after the same kind of exercise each time you measure. Remember that flaccid stretch results and totally erect results can be quite different. After 6 years, mine are almost the same.

Let me share my measuring routine. It may be of some help to you. These days, I am trying to see if I can maintain my temporary gains after each stretching work out. So my approach is to measure my flaccid stretched dick, after a session, by pulling it above my belly button and measuring how far above the belly button it reaches. The further I can pull it consistently, the happier I am.

My goal is to be able to pull it to five inches above the navel, every time I measure. I normally can stretch it to three inches above--that is, after a work out. Before a work-out, it stretches to about an inch above the belly button.

This is a new first for me (the three inch mark, that is), and I am delighted with it. But this does not mean it is "cemented," whatever that means.

Hope this is of some help and not too confusing.

Hey banana,

I'm a beginner as well, started 3 days ago. I've been reading some of the threads of this forum. Lots of information and I'm doing JonPop's programme, except that I do 2 days on and 1 day off. But now that i'm reading your thread, you only do stretching? And this helps you gain lenght? What about jelqing?
I acutally don't know whether stretching or jelqing helps gaining lenght. I don't really focus on stretching, thats why I ask.

But now that I've read your thread, it seems stretching is important for gaining lenght? Some veterans that can back this up?

I jelq 3 times per week + LIGHT stretching bends while erect for 8-10 second holds while clamping/uli... (I'd say a more advanced technique that you shouldn't try yet... and i'm a dumbshit for doing it heh)

I stretch 2 times per week w/out jelqing... w/ a warm up + warmdown + heli's... frankly... believe stretching is important for the corpus cavernosa and corpus spongiosum health and elongation. I will then bring myself to an EQ of 9 or 10 to make sure I can fill up (no porn!... meditate) and then come down (no ejac) and warm down stretches + hot wrap.

I'm going to try a rice sock soon LOL

Once you try a rice sock, you'll never need another warming method again. I have two rice socks. I lay one horizontally across the top side of my dick right on the ligs to heat them up. I wrap the other one around my entire penis to warm it up. Great heating method. Make sure you buy the real rice, not the instant stuff. Better yet, a lot of people have been buying Flax Seed I've noticed. I guess this holds a better heat. I love my socks! After 10 minutes with the sock, my penis is very warm and red, and my ligs are so loose and stretchy.

Sounds awesome, thanks for the tip!

Hi Bananaboat I was wondering if I should stretch after Jeqling, it doesnt say to do so in the JP routine but do you think it helps? Thanks, good progress log!
