Today is supposed to be measuring day and the last day of my beginner routine but I have miscalculated and will measure tomorrow. I did the same thing last month and when you are talking in fractions of inches I don't think a day will matter too much

Warm up 10 mins
40 wet jelqs
40 v-jelqs
40 wet jelqs
40 v-jelqs
40 wet jelqs
40 v-jelqs
50 KITVs
Edged 10 mins
100 kegels
30 reverse kegels
12 10-sec kegels + 12 5-sec kegels
12 10-sec reverse kegels

I did ejaculate after edging (I didn't yday) and found doing the kegels difficult as a result. While edging I felt it nice and hard and can really feel good heavy mass of the penis after jelqing. I just hope it feeds into something more permanent because it feels bigger after jelqing. I usually use my finger test to check the width - normally it's just a fraction wider than two fingers when erect. After jelqing, it can be two and half fingers width at least and with some clamping, it can be nearly three fingers width! I don't really want it that thick (which might surprise some of you) but halfway between two and three fingers width would be perfect for me.

Measuring day! Nothing to shout about since I haven't really gained anything, time to shake things up. I liked the beginner routine but am now ready to be flexible and move on to more advanced techniques.

BPFSL: 18cm (7.08")
BPEL: 16.8cm (6.61")
NBPEL: 15cm (5.91")
MEG: 12.3-12.4cm (4.84"-4.88")

So looking at the beginner phase as a whole, I have made decent gains. I have slipped a bit in the past month but nothing major. Don't forget that I find it difficult to measure since my dick doesn't behave (how to do BPFSL with a tailor's tape in the first go is anyone's guess) and as soon as I stop stroking myself I lose hardness so any measurements I do have to be taken as approximations but these are as accurate as I can get them.

I am very happy with the progress I have made thus far and will not give up. I have gained a lot in libido (almost too much at times haha) and erection quality. I remember times in the recent past when at my hardest, I could bend it but not any more. I have gained erect length (~.6") and some girth (~0.3") but of course there are times when we are larger and other times when we are smaller. The actual size wasn't a huge consideration when I started out, I just wanted to improve libido but given the results I have to keep going. More than anything, this has made me much less depressed than before and, along with my regular calisthenics, I have a lot more confidence in myself, so thanks a lot people. Long live PE and the gym!

Edit: I'm taking some time off for the holidays so I'll definitely see you all in the New Year! Have a great holiday season, guys

Hi, I'm back reporting on my progress. Had a lay-off for the winter holidays and no PE until this week. I tried something totally different on the first day which was the Advanced Jelq-free routine but a beginner version. So this was:

Warm up 10 mins

50 squeezes
500 side-to-side stretches
Edging 10 mins
some kegels

I didn't find it gave me that full pumped flaccid I get from jelqing though so I thought it might be something I should try some other time in the future. I still love jelqing and hope to get results from it. I don't seem to have lost much if anything by girth but I have lost some of my length gains so I might use the stretches. The other couple of days I have been doing this routine:

Warm up 10 mins
50 wet jelqs
50 v-jelqs
50 wet jelqs
50 v-jelqs
Edging 10 mins
wash and cool down for a few minutes

I can fit all this into an hour which suits me down to the ground but I need to fit in some stretches and kegels somewhere. I might do stretches each alternate day maybe or once a week. Anyway, I haven't given up on PE (not by a long shot) but half the challenge is finding the time and working out a decent routine!

Ok so I devised a new routine starting from this week. It will be going for 5 days with the weekend off to rest. I have 3 girth sessions and 2 length sessions (in line with TGC theory of 60% in favour of girth in a routine). Yesterday was a girth session which went as follows:

Warm up 10 mins
50 wet jelqs
50 v-jelqs
50 wet jelqs
50 v-jelqs
50 KITVs (jelqs altogether take around 35 mins)
Edging 10 mins
cool down 5 mins

This fits neatly in to an hour and I can totally focus on girth exercises. Today was a length session (I will alternate the different sessions through the week since you need a day in between length sessions) which went as follows:

Warm up 10 mins
Basic stretches 15 mins (I hold in each direction for 30 secs)
Side-to-side stretches 15 mins
100 kegels
30 reverse kegels
12 10-count kegels
12 10-count reverse kegels (kegels altogether take around 10 mins)
Edging 10-15 mins

I manage to fit in kegels every other day which is better than not doing them. I'll try to post something at least once a week if I decide to alter anything and I'll still measure once a month. PI's are stil good. I managed to stretch my penis to touch my belly button today, the first time ever Oh and morning wood seems to be back, good signs.

First week of the new routine went well. I felt a very mild bit of soreness after the second day of stretching but PIs have been great. Some days I get morning wood and some I don't but hopefully it will become more regular as I continue. I think this is the correct level of intensity for me right now and we'll see when I measure if it adds anything.

Day 2 of week 2 of my revised routine and all seems to be going well. Today was a length day so did half an hour of stretches and I really don't think I could do longer than this given my hand (particularly my thumb) starts to lock up. I edged after for 15 mins, I'll try and keep it to 15 mins regularly as I was pretty hard at the end.

I've decided to continue for another two weeks like this then measure then take a week off PE. However during the lay-off I will try to only do kegels and do some edging trying to do 30 minutes of the latter to help my EQ and overall endurance. That's all for now.

Week 2 over although missed the final session today due to being busy. Oh well, I have a lifetime of PE to look forward to in some form or another; I think one session shouldn't make too much of a difference. I did watch some porn last night and should really try not to. Anyway, pretty good week and morning wood is pretty much daily so I'm definitely not over-training. When you get a good routine, you start to look forward to doing it and gently upping the intensity over time. Many a novice athlete have started too strongly and injured themselves. Principle applies to PE as well.

Don't worry about missing one day, as you say you're in there for the long run.
It's difficult with porn. I cleaned my computer from all porn yesterday.


Keep up the good work.

Thanks Scandi, I don't store porn or even watch videos. I just look at captions and pictures mainly on Tumblr but it's all bad for you. Thanks for the support

Yesterday was the first day of week 3 of my revised routine and during edging I noticed something. I have been trying for 15 mins each day I do PE and it has been going well. I slowly feel I am gaining greater control although some days are better than others obviously. Normally, I can stroke for 5 mins before feeling the PONR for the first time and then it's a case of stopping and starting and trying to keep myself at a relatively high arousal state but making sure I keep it going as long as possible. At around close to 15 mins, I felt I had tripped the wire (my phrase for going too far) but I kegeled really hard and managed to not feel an orgasm although some come was leaking. I cleaned up and tried to edge again since I didn't orgasm and found that if I stroked fast I got back my erection! So this was a new achievement for me. Having said that, I don't want to do too much as I fear the repercussions of retrograde ejaculation and what that might do over time but I know I have the pelvic muscle strength to curb ejaculation. I pushed for another 5 minutes after this (making 20 minutes in total) but this time I went over the line and just let go. I am trying not to come from edging (and avoiding fapping otherwise) but the occasional misstep is ok and all a part of learning for me.

EQ isn't great at the beginning of my session but it improves as I jelq and edge. I would say it was around 7/8 at the end (fairly firm but not totally inflexible). As I continue, I hope my EQ improves as it's perhaps one of the main things I'm after by doing PE.

End of week 3 and it's been good although missed a stretching session this time but not very concerned. I don't like missing sessions, not so much for the PE but for the edging. I did 20 mins edging today and I do feel I am gaining a little more control. I find that I get to 5 mins before hitting the PONR as usual but the sensation to come isn't as strong and I can go a bit longer each time before I hit the PONR. I'm still a long way from total control like some of our esteemed members but when you feel you are making progress, it certainly makes you want to continue with it

A funny thing happened at the end of edging. I had a lot of precum (ok this might be a bit detailed but maybe other people have experienced this) which is alright, more than usual but I normally don't edge this long. Then right on 20 minutes I spurted what I thought might be precum because I didn't feel a climax or anything and was still pretty hard so I kept stroking hard and felt like I could keep going (but I didn't). Later I felt the ache in the balls like I came so maybe I did but it felt like progress. I did hear from another member about him being able to come and still remain hard (which is some legendary-sounding shit, I would love to be able to do that) so maybe I experienced that.

I'm thinking that if I make gains this month, I'm tempted to continue the routine for maybe another month. If not, I'll take a week off to just focus on kegels and edging then think about altering the routine a little, maybe include some squeezes. It depends on what the results are from measuring but even without size gains I do feel better control and hardness.

Today was day 1, week 4 of my revised routine. Edged for around 20 mins and this is a challenging but achievable target time. Did hit the PONR a bit earlier than usual but I was pretty aroused. Between 10 and 15 mins I tried to counter any IKs with a soft reverse kegel and eventually I felt like I tripped the wire but nothing came out although I felt a build-up which receeded. Then I started to go flaccid slowly, so I stroked hard and managed to maintain erection although EQ was reduced but this might have been something like a dry orgasm (without the orgasm). I have tried it for the first time to use rks to counter iks but I think the urge to come does build up anyway, it doesn't kill the feeling.

Day 2, week 4. Not much to report today (I'm sure you're all happy haha). Getting better control during edging but I was feeling tired today and that impacts my success and decided to release today after God know's how long.

One more thing. When I do my stretches, I find my flaccid hangs lower (as you would expect) but it's also a little wider. Does anyone else get this after stretching, or even after hanging? Might be something to do with the ligament(s).

Day 3, week 4. Girth today and made a couple of observations. For the last 10 wet jelqs on each set, I used 2 fingers instead of just one finger with the thumb (partly to check how well it works and partly to rest my knackered thumb) and found it does force more blood into the glans but there's also a little more 'leakage' back down the shaft. This is perfect just for the final few jelqs where the glans might be going a bit soft. Did some firestarters between sets to keep the dick warm but I need to practice these a little more I think.

Edged for 20+ mins today and about halfway through I decided to include the glans a bit more. If I want to eventually work up to preparing for sex one day, I'll need to include the glans and thought I'd experiment edging with it and I have to say it was pretty good. I can use my whole hand (I can use my whole hand for just shaft edging but generally a couple of fingers gives a lighter grip and feels much nicer to me near the base) and with a slightly tighter grip, I can feel the tension in my pelvic muscles a bit better so detect when iks are approaching. Right now, after I reach PONR for the first time (around 5 mins or so) full length edging results in IKs in about 5 strokes but I found the speed of stroking affects this as well. If I do it slowly but tightly, I can go for around 10 strokes but at 'ramming speed' (a consistent quick pace, my term for it) maybe 5 strokes then stop then 5 strokes then stop and so on.

I will edge like this from now on for a few reasons. Like I mentioned earlier, I can feel the tension feeding through from the pelvic muscle into my dick better. It's easier to control the motion and experiment with some base work and include some glans work too -- you know, mix it up. With my whole hand, I can more subtly control the grip and play around with it. I know it seems like common sense but I was not keen to include the glans since it was pretty sensitive before but now the longer I edge, the less sensitive it seems to become. I didn't come today (although had a lot of pre-cum) but I feel like I did and this must be due to the extra stimulation. Ok, done now and well done if you got this far

EDIT: This blog has helped me a lot in learning to be more aware of my body's reactions during edging. Check it out! https://www.pegym.com/forums/blogs/c...ml#comment4501

Last day of week 4 today and pretty happy getting a full week under my belt before tomorrow. I think this month I have made the most progress with edging having been able to do it daily for around 15-20 mins. I still need to work a lot on stamina but I feel like I've achieved something by doing it. I edged today but fell 5 mins short of my 20 min target, got a little carried away and lost focus but doesn't matter too much.

I'll measure tomorrow and what results I get will probably determine what I do next. If I gain then I'll probably continue this routine for another month. If I don't make gains, I wanted to just replace my sessions with just kegels and edging for a week. This gives me a break as an hour a day 5 times a week can be quite intense for me even though I enjoy it.
