I'm going to start one of these and post some things I am doing so I know if I'm on the right track. I'm probably not going to post for every day, but I will post the days I remember.

Nov 15:

Did some light edging for a while. Possibly an hour. Lost erection and quit. No climax, even with visual "aids" to keep me stimulated. I know using porn is frowned upon here, but I kind of see it as a challenge to block it out and focus on the technique. I do sometimes when just browsing non-sexual sites, when bored, but porn gets me harder. I usually stick with softcore (as in bikinis and skimpy clothes) stuff for controlled stimulation, though in this session, I used hardcore.

Did some A-stretches during a HOT shower, letting the water hit my shaft and blocking the glans with my grip hand. Measured BPSFL at close to 8" afterwards with a wooden ruler. Fat pad hides about 25% of it though... Felt a little "deflated" and pinched/sensitive in the glans afterwards.

Drank two big cups of water (about 40 oz). Started getting some blood back shortly. Also eating helped.

Did some research on new exercises. I may implement some into my routine soon.

Peed in the toilet sitting down and figured I'd try some things out. Tried out a rag for my heating method. Filled a plastic party cup with the hottest possible water, dipped a rag in there every 2 minutes or so, and wrapped it around my shaft, leaving the glans uncovered. Warmed up for 10 minutes, doing "breath in and out" (aka alternating regular and reversed) kegels during the wait. Felt ready to go, so I started stretching. Did a mix of low-intensity A-stretches (20 seconds or so each), V-stretches, and 360-degree stretches, all sitting down. Sat straight up on the A-stretches to get more upward pull. Did helicopter shakes for about 30 seconds, high speed, between stretch rounds. Stretching lasted for 10 minutes. Did some dry jelqs, both with "V" grip between middle and ring finger, and overhand "OK" grip. Again, I used helicopters to keep blood level up when needed. To close it off, I did the same heating technique, for about 6-8 minutes. The whole workout felt pretty elastic. I have been feeling extra resistance the past couple days. This was pretty loose.

I'm worried that I may have overtrained. How much is too much? I tried not to go past the level where I started feeling stings and pains from pulling too hard.

Congrats on starting a log!

Mental PE - Creating The Right Mindset

And if you haven't already done so, please READ THIS Thread, Maximize Your Success Here and focus on safety.


I recommend you first condition your penis by following a beginner's manual routine for at least 90 days or until you stop gaining - whichever comes last. Most members here start with JP90.


Stretch only hard enough to feel tension on your shaft, not more, you should never feel pain with any PE exercises.

Jelq with the lightest grip that can move blood up the shaft and to the glans.

In the beginning, start with not many reps, and increase the workload over a few weeks.


Penis Warm-Up Methods: Heating Up Before Working Out

A heating pad or a rice sock would be much better for warming up your penis, you only need a few degrees above that of your body's temperature for about six to seven minutes.


Pay attention to your PIs, your penis is trying to tell you if you are over working, or you are in the growth zone, aim for positive PIs, and steer away from the negative ones.

Good luck on your PE journey, PE safely!

Thank you.

For heating, I have a electric heating pad, a microwave heat pad, and rice sock. The rice sock keeps heat the longest, but it is easy to get too hot. I need to learn how to make one that doesn't spill rice either... I like the feel of a hot moist rag sometimes.

I'll try to keep that advice in mind when doing stretching. I think part of my problem in the past was pulling too hard. The penis likes to pull back and repair itself for days. I'm going to try the less is more approach.

For today's jelqs, I used a lighter grip and used helicopters to keep the blood level up. This felt much better. I don't feel sore right now.

Nov 17: Edging. Lasted quite a long time. I was stiff afterwards, so I gave BPEL a go. Measured a mere 6.5". Maybe I need to do more jelqs to get the erect length up with stretched flaccid.

Nov 18: Failed an edging attempt, but since I was warm from a heating pad, I did a workout. Managed to get a full 150+ dry V-Jelqs in, along with some light tug stretches. Also threw in some A-stretches and V-stretches, but my new focus is now on jelqs and edging for erect length and thickness. Rag was used for warm down.

Nov 19: More light stretching. Had an ideal amount of blood (60-70% erect) for jelqing, so I just did fairly rapid V-Jelqs for 10 minutes. I only counted over one minute, and the tally for that minute was 30 or so. Multiplied by 10 minutes, I estimate about 300 V-Jelqs. I did vary the speed depending on how it felt. Took a hot shower afterwards to warm down. Didn't really warm up properly, but the friction from all those jelqs probably got the temp up somewhat.

How big of a problem is lack of consistency? Like working out with weights, I get bored doing the same thing every time.

Haven't done anything today yet.

Did some stretching in the shower today (Saturday). Not a very good work out because the EQ is still low. I may rest a few days until it is back. It also isn't helping that I have a lot of stuff to worry about right now.

Congratulations on starting a journal. It will help you track your progress.
Anxiety will play havoc with your EQ, so you might need to address those issues as you take your planned rest days.
Hope that works. Best of luck with your PE journey!

I just picked up pumping. I am testing my limits right now. It really swells up girth. I was over 6.75" girth after pumping today (some of it was swelling of course.) My glans was almost hitting the top too. I think my pump is about 8" or so - maybe more. I was hoping to use a pump to force an semi-erection for jelqing, but I may just try it on its own for now.

I haven't posted much since my gains haven't been very noticeable. I'm still trying to get stretches in on the toilet, but I have not been so good on jelqs. If pumping does anything permanent, I may stick to it.

After reading some articles and threads on pumping, I think I will tone it down. I was going high pressure, and getting edema. My pump doesn't have a pressure gauge, so I will just have to go by how it feels, and keep the duration low.
