Starting stats:
Smidgen more than 6.25" BPEL (completely bone pressed for accurate measurement). Measured with wooden straight ruler.
Smidgen more than 4.5 EG midshaft (around vein on right side of mid shaft) Measured with Myotape ruler.

Just finished 1st week of beginner's routine. 1 day on, 2 days off.

10 minute warmup with microwaveable wrap
30 second hold stretch in each direction
10 minute jelqing at 70-80% erect. Slow jelk. It is very hard to start the other hand up the shaft while the original hand is trapping the blood in the glands. I guess the "turkey neck" is the problem.
edging for 15 mins afterwards
hot shower warm down

Edged last night for 40 minutes without climax.

Been wearing traction wrap during the day everyday this week.

Not sure if I will continue with beginner's routine for a couple more weeks, or switch to JP's.

I am positive I will grow.

6 month goal: MEG 4.75" BPEL 6.5"

Edit: measurements with the wooden ruler were done directly above the shaft, pressed against the shaft (NOT along the side).

Supplements (everyday): 1000 mg l-arginine, Super B complex, 500 mg l-lysine, 60 mg zinc

Worked out on Friday, upped the jelqing to 11 minutes - last few minutes were the best of the session. Edged for 20 minutes with no climax. Had a good plump flacid hang for about an hour afterwards, then I put the traction wrap on. Also added some kegels into my stretching routine (25 kegel-and-holds on the side stretches)

Haven't had the traction wrap on at all this weekend and haven't noticed much turtling.

Sex with the girlfriend on Friday was possibly one of the best ever in our 4 year relationship. I was harder than I have remembered and it actually looked big to me, but I could not climax (ended up having to jack off in front of her for about 20 minutes to climax).

My girlfriend also told me for the first time in out relationship that I had a "big dick" while we were having sex. She has said "I like your size" before, but NEVER said "big". We were drunk and maybe she was just saying it for my benefit - but kind of a strange coincidence that she says that to me for the first time in 4 years 1 week after I have started PEing.

Will PE when I get home. Also need to hit the gym when I get home.

Alturnative to two hand jelq.

double ok grip jelq.

At around 50% or greater
Form a ok grip at the base.
With the other hand form an other ok grip just above the base grip.
Move the top grip slowly up th shaft rral slow.

Try this one to see if it is easier. I find this type of jelq supior to other types.

Yeah, focus on the jelq. Maybe your girlfriend is reflecting your own confidence about your sexual prowess.

haha, either way it was good to hear (even though I didn't really believe her).

Thanks for the tip kingpole.


Session 5:
Had a great flacid hang before I even started warming up. stretching went well. 30 seconds in all directions, and I did 25 kegels for three of the holds (straight up, right & left).
Jelqed for 12 minutes, pretty good session. Had a nice swollen look afterwards. No turtling at all tonight. I also kegel in between every jelq to get a good amount of blood in there.
edged for 20 minutes afterwards.

I am going to continue with the beginner program, adding 1 minute to my jelqing every workout. I am having pretty good PIs so I figure there is no need to rush into things. Besides, when I PEed before I didn't get great gains because I think I did too much too soon.

I will switch to JPs program after another week or two.

Session six:

Wore a traction wrap all day at work today. Also wore one during the day yesterday.

12 minute Thermipaq warm up.
30 second stretch holds in each direction. 25 kegels during 4 of the 5 holds.
13 minute jelq session. Erection level varied. 50% most of the time with a tight grip, 80% part of the time with a weaker grip.
18 minutes of edging afterwards, then hot shower.

Used a heat dish in front of me during my entire workout and for 20 minutes after my hot shower.

Edged last night for second night in a row without climaxing.

Had good PIs during the night and this morning. Good flacid hang, and it just felt nice (hard to explain).

Traction wrapped all day - (around 5" stretch in wrap).

Purchased Exercising the Penis today on Amazon.

Read the book today. I realized that I probably didn't gain in the past because I was so eager to gain as quickly as possible that I definitely overtrained without realizing it. I also think I have been using too tight of a jelq grip (I usually try to squeeze as much blood as possible on every jelq).

I also think I have been holding the stretch a little too hard, so today I performed a gentler stretch in every direction.

To make sure my stretches had a good tension without being too tight, I would release the stretch just ever so slightly every 5 seconds and then resume the stretch back to the extended stretch length. As long as my penis didn't 'pull back' (meaning as long as it was willing to stretch and not tighten up) - when I tried to resume the extended stretch, I knew I wasn't overdoing it.

I realized that I need to take it as slow as possible. I am going to continue on the beginner routine without switching to JPs, at least for the next 3 weeks.

So I have been reading that thread about Porn and ED and decided to quit porn. I am 24 and have been consistently watching porn since I was in 8th grade. I would say I averaged 3 -4 times per week over the years. Maybe a little more recently (I live away from my girlfriend) and probably a little less in college, and even more in high school.

Jelqing without porn today was very hard... well maybe "hard" isn't a good choice of words. It took a lot of concentration and it was difficult to imagine fantasies that got me hard. I would say I was about 50% most of the time - so not the best jelq session.

Edging afterwards was not working at all. I had to resort to porn because I couldn't get 100% erect. I would watch porn and then turn away to continue edging.

I think I need to slowly wean myself off of porn. I will have to have it on in the background while I jelq, and only glance at it when I am going soft if I can't keep the erection level on my own.

I measured during edging today after my session and my girth was definitely over 4.6. Pretty excited about that. May have gained a little bit of length too but it was too hard to get an accurate measurement. It has only been 2 weeks but I am pretty excited.

I am going to start doing JAI stretches. Continue doing kegels during my jelqing and throughout the day on workout days.

Flacid hang was not that great after the workout today, could be because I climaxed during edging (by accident). So I put the traction wrap on, but I can feel it trying to tighten/harden up every few minutes or so.

[lifeisgood Member Find all posts View Profile Close lifeisgood]

Good workout today.

14 minute warmup
30 second stretch holds in each direction x 2
13 minutes SLOW jelq (5 seconds) at 60% + EQ with a grip of 6.5/10 (working on trying to keep a lighter grip pressure)
Edged afterwards for 20+ minutes.

Starting keeping a spreadsheet that includes my complete workout and PIs every day.

Yesterday I had a nice flacid hang in the afternoon. Today no such luck, but I had a good PE session. Good plump hang afterwards for 30 mins or so, then it started to turtle. I wrapped it in a traction wrap and I've had it on all night. The turtling went away and I have been having a good hang under the traction wrap.

I have changed up my jelqs a bit. I now go straight up (my natural erection faces up) as opposed to going straight out as I have done in the past. I also give a good pull at the end of every slow jelq.

[lifeisgood Member Find all posts View Profile Close lifeisgood]

Pretty good workout. Used an IR lamp for the first time and I really liked it.

No turtling this morning (except at the gym of course). Then RIGHT before I was going to do my workout, I did some JAI stretches after pissing and then I started to turtle. I was pretty pissed off but I relaxed for a little while it kind of went away so i warmed up and did my PE routine.

Focused on a loose grip, but mainly focused on jelqing up and giving a tug at the end of every jelq. During edging I thought I looked bigger. Jelq session was about 15 mins today. Today marks the end of the 3rd week. I am not going to measure again until after week 5.

I am considering buying an autoxleeve, or a silicone sleeve/stretcher off of ebay. Wondering if these are good for newbs. I also would like to use an autoextender, but I have real reservations about using a device - something about it doesn't sit with me that well

PEed yesterday and today. First time going 2 days in a row, but my PIs were so good yesterday.

Second day of doing BTC stretch for 1 hold of 30s. I aslo added in some v jelqs today in between the regular jelqs.

Jelq session lasted 15 minutes.

Edged for about 30 minutes afterwards with really great EQ.

IR lamp is awesome.

Been going strong past two weeks. This week I tried 3 days on and 2 off. All three sessions were really good, with good edging EQ afterwards. Really good EQ on off days too (with the gf). Incorporated dry jelqing into the beginning of my jelqing routine. I now do:

30 second stretch holds in all directions x 2
Dry jelqing for 3 minutes
wet jelqing for 15 mins or so (slow reps)
Edging for 20 mins.

I usually wear a traction wrap all day. I have found the best wrap is called Self-Grip Self Adhering First Aid Tape by Dome. Can be bought at Harris Teeter. It is stiff enough to keep a good stretch, and sticky enough to stick to your skin without hurting when removed. I like it better than the Johnson and Johnson hurt-free, and its also cheaper.

Today was first day on after the 2 day rest. Just dry jelqed today - 14 mins. Session was not perfect - just OK. Could be because I had sex with the gf this morning. I am wearing my ebay ADS for an hour afterwards.

Measured over the weekend and am almost positive I have gained 1/8 of an inch, but I am going to wait till I have gained 1/4 to report the gains. My woods have been looking bigger than ever though.

Bone pressed has gone from a little over 6.25 to 6.375 in about 5 weeks. BP measurement was done sitting down, with left edge or ruler over the center of the top of my base. There is a little grove there where I jam the ruler in right above where my penis connects to my body.

Erection near 100% and I bend it down so my dick is about parallel to the floor (about 50-55 degrees so it is still pointing up a little bit).

I have a good way to gauge my jelqs. When I have a really good full jelq I can touch the tip of the head of my penis to a freckle on my belly (this while sitting down). My erection at 100% doesn't quite get to this freckle, but it is close. I am going to use this freckle as a reference point for good jelqs and also a good way to measure gains without getting out the ruler every time. When I can touch my head to the freckle when erect I will probably be at 6.5 BPEL.
