  • what works for me

    WARNING - long post ahead!

    I've been lurking for ~2 years and here are some various notes about what I have learned. Go take a piss and grabs something to drink. :-)

    WARM UP
    I really did not start gaining (particularly length) until I started using a heating pad to warm up. I use a Thermipaq heating pad. Find out how long you need to microwave it to reach a comfortable temperature. Its temp will continue to rise after you zap it. Wait a few minutes until the temp has stabilized. You can wet a paper towel, wring most of the water out and wrap it around your penis. Then fold the heating pad in half, pinching your penis between it. I warm up for 15-20 minutes.

    JELQING
    Initially (for ~1 year), all I did was jelq. I jelq sitting down and only pull straight out or up. It took a good while to figure out proper technique. Stretching didn't work for me. When I tried to stretch, as soon as I started doing the rotations, I would get an erection. I also didn't use heat to warm up for jelqs. I would simply acheive multiple 8-10 EQ erections and let them subside. 3-5 expansions seemed to provide an decent warm-up. Then I did sets of 2-3 sets of 100 OK-grip jelqs at ~75% erection. One hand = one rep. This seemed to greatly improve my EQ and erect girth, but no noticeable flaccid gains. Veins became more prominent and I could puncture concrete with my dick. Now I usually only do V-jelqs at low erection levels and I will pause if I get too hard. I will add in a few OK grips if I am maintaining the erection level I want and getting the expansion I want. Experience will tell you how good of a session you are having. I prefer to have more consistent moderate workouts rather than hitting it too hard and having to recover. Doing too many will kill my EQ on the following days. I follow my PI's and will take a day or two off if necessary.

    STRETCHING
    I only started stretching a few months ago. I do all my stretching lying on my back. I don't try to pull my dick off or force it to lengthen. I try to coax it. My stretching begins with the 15-20 min warm-up described above and then 30-50 JAIs. 2-3 secs per rep while completely relaxed. If you feel any resistance, you're not relaxed. You should not feel your base pull out and expand. If you do, pause/relax/breathe and shorten your pull distance. If you're doing it right, it almost feels like your not doing anything. Believe me, these add up over time and seem to affect flaccid gains. After the JAIs, I move on to static stretching. I perform relatively low-tension 60 sec stretches. I only pull in 3 directions - left, right, and straight out. I start by pulling out at a 45-60 degree angle from straight out. Like I said earlier, I'm not trying to force my dick to grow. I'm trying to coax it. I use a ticking clock to count secs and to distract my mind to stay relaxed. After 60 secs, I do 10 circular rotations around the original angle of pull, using a similar amount of tension. If I'm pulling too hard, I start to become erect or turtle. Back off the tension if you do. Then I swap to the other side/opposite angle and repeat for another 60 secs and 10 rotations. In between these 2 sets, I will do my variation of helicopters - side-to-side flopping for a few secs to make sure I am relaxed. Next comes the straight out stretching. I usually incoroprate tunica tugs at this point. Again, I think lower tension is better. There seems to be a point of diminishing returns with how hard you stretch. Pulling too hard so that it causes an increase in my erection seems to lessen the effectiveness of stretching and will cause turtling. If I am not fully relaxed, I will wait until I am. Stretching with even a semi-erection seems worthless. Relaxed tissues seem to respond better, particularly with tunica tugs. These 3 stretches constitute 1 set. I usually go for 3-4 sets, with 20 secs of helicopters in between. You should feel slightly more relaxed and a further stretch with each set.

    Variation
    Sometimes on the 2nd and 3rd sets I will change up slightly after the first set of light stretching. 30 secs of static tension, followed by 20-30 kegel pulls ( ala JPs beginner routine), and then rotation stretches. For the kegel stretching, I pull out but stop just short of the tension I use for static stretching. Your dick should be extended, but not fully stretched. Hold this distance and kegel against it to create the actual stretch.

    POST WORKOUT
    Edging or ballooning. I feel these are ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL to making gains. These two things alone will (over extended time) cause gains on their own. After you've spent time pulling on your dick and/or forcing blood into its chambers, it's time to begin the secondary process of PE. Both of the these will continue and prolong physical expansion, and deliver necessary chemicals for physical recovery. Aim for at least 20-30 minute sessions. I would wager that those who complain about doing PE for months/years without gaining, don't edge or balloon afterwards.

    REVERSE KEGELS
    For the record, I only do normal kegels when I incorporate them with stretching (see above). Reverse kegels are a differnet matter. When I do these, I am not trying to blow my dick out. I pretty much treat it as an internal clamping mechanism to slow bloodflow out. It's almost like an hands-free Uli. I aim for 60 secs or until my erection has subsided slightly, and then I gently massage it back up. It usually comes back to 9-10 EQ and swollen fat. Do this 3-5 times, usually towards the end of my edging session. You can also do this in between jelq sets.

    PORN
    Yes, it's readily available, but do not become reliant on it. My hardest erections (thus greatest expansions) are without it. No matter how big your dick gets , your brain is still your largest sex organ.

    SUPPLEMENTS USED
    Start with low doses and gradually increase if necessary.

    L-arginine and/or l-citrulline - take one hour prior to edging for increased nitric oxide production.

    ZMA - improved sleep and CRAZY dreams in the beginning until you become tolerant. Crazy erection expansion as well.

    VISUALIZATION
    Just like everything else in this world, PE is just as much mental as physical. Believe. Do not psyche yourself out.

    IN THE DARK
    I now do my PE in the dark as it lessens any distractions. Relaxation is easier. Visualization is unbounded. Your dick as big as you think it is.

    MY CURRENT ROUTINE
    Right now, I'm going for length and flaccid gains, so I don't always jelq.

    20 min warm-up
    stretching (3+ sets as described above)
    short edging session (try to achieve a high erection level,then let it subside a little. Repeat 2-3 times)
    100 V-jelqs at low erection levels (<50%)
    edging for 20-30 min

    I may throw in 2-3 Uli's or Supra Slammers during the final edge session. The aim is not to squeeze too hard and blow my dick up. It's all about achieving quality expansion multiple times. Simply blocking off circulation with a light Uli is usually sufficient. Less can definitely be more. Doing too many can kill your future EQ. Take a rest day(s) if you do too many.

    REST
    Overtraining is real. Follow your PI's. Don't force PE on your dick if you're not feeling it. To me, a rest day is better than a poor workout. It's a long term venture anyway so days off are not going to hurt you. They will always help you. I normally take 1 whole week off every 4-5 weeks. Observe your EQ during these breaks. Your EQ should go above normal. I recently went 8 weeks before a 1 week break. I ease back into it after breaks. I usually go for 5 on/2 off, but will do 2-3 on/1 off when returning from a break.

    RESEARCH
    I read PEgym for weeks/months before I tried ANY PE exercises. Haste makes waste. Take your time and figure out what it takes to grow. DO NOT expect 8x6 in a few weeks. Accept that it may take serious commitment to achieve noticeable gains.

    MY PROGRESS
    I did not take any measurements/pics prior to starting. I am now around 6.25 BPEL and 5.25 BEG. I probably gained .75" BPEL and .25"+ EG from my jelqing the first year. I have added another .25" EL and ~.125" EG this year since I started stretching. My flaccid is also noticeably bigger. I could probably gain faster by doing more and at higher intensities, but I don't feel rushed. Staying injury-free is a higher priority. I've never had a lig pop, never been sore from stretching (well, ONE time in the beginning when I first tried and then abandoned stretching) and don't get red dots anymore. I did develop a hard flaccid the first time I tried jelqing. I took a few weeks off and then returned with the less-is-more approach.

    Take your time and ease into PE. Focus on the initial conditioning your penis and learn/work on proper technique. I really did not start gaining until I did.

    FEMALES
    FYI - You don't need a huge/long/fat/massive/8x6 cock to satisfy a woman. Listen to the female input here. They've told you time and again, in so many words, that you can place too much emphasis on your penis size. Males tend to focus their sexuality in the physical realm. You could fuck a hole in a fence and be satisfied. Females are WAY more emotional in their sexual needs. Don't treat them like a pin cushion and for God's sake do NOT treat them like a porn star. Porn != reality. You want to bring a girl to full vaginal orgasm? Let her know you half-ass give a fuck about her. Fuck her brain and not just her pussy. Once she is relaxed and fully trusts you, she will fuck YOUR brains out. Focus on her needs and learn to foreplay.

    That's about all I can think of for now. Sorry for the long post. :-D

      Thanks a lot for the post, very helpful. You seem to have the same approach I did: learn all you can about the ins and outs of PE before jumping in. I'm just starting PE this week, but took a couple months reading about proper technique and routine first so I don't hurt myself and/or waste time with a bad routine or overtraining.

      I also agree with you statement on a 8x6 cock. I think it is probably too large for a lot of women and will cause discomfort during and massive soreness after for a lot of them, but I doubt that will really deter any members here from trying, lol. I am 5.9x4.8 myself and am pretty comfortable with my size as is, but think 7x5.5 would put me at about an ideal size for most women. Psychologically it's a good size as well b/c you know you're well above average and if you get called "small" by a woman, then you can be pretty sure it's just pure spite. Another +1 that you will have a much better sex life with a 5x4 dick and knowing how to treat a lady than 8x6 and being lost in the bedroom.
      Starting as of 2/1/11: 6.4 BPEL x 4.8 MSEG (5.6 NBPEL)
      Just hoping to put together one full month of actually sticking to a routine and go from there.
      My goals mainly revolve around developing high EQ erections that last during sex.

        Very good read, lots of good info, thanks

        I especially like the emphasis you put on visualization and think doing PE in the dark could be a great idea. Even when I just refrain from looking at my dick during my routine for a bit I start imagine it feeling huge, and it's very convincing until you look back down. I think mindset plays a HUGE role in PE, and it's probably near impossible to gain if you don't believe it's going to work

          long winded SOB,just kidding. Sounds as if you know your self well. You have made great gains so it must mean something, I like your theory on not causing injury as opposed to overtraining. I actually do fairly light jelquing but I stretch with a good amount of tension. I do sort of what you do at night as far as trying to relax and get a stretch that is not contested by the PC muscles. It is not an easy thing to master at first. Every time I get close to the point of relaxation required to get the wet noodle effect it seems as if I do an involuntary kegle. I will try your suggestion of doing this in the dark. I know Im on he verge of getting it down.
          Have you started a progress log yet, I think it would be good for you and maybe even others so they can see what your doing, I think some can benefit from the experience you have.
          I enjoyed this post and it is good to have you here at the PEGym, Welcome aboard.

            Good idea. I read up before beginning and still got a hard flaccid from my first jelq session!. You shouldn't try to force your dick to grow. Just like weight training, doing too much too soon will usually lead to injury. Then you'll have to take time off to recover from any damage that may have occurred.

            That's pretty much my starting size, except I was shorter. I never had ANY complaints. Penis size < technique. Stroke it, don't poke it! Do NOT fuck a girl like the guys do in porno. Most are poking at her pussy. Drive through her mons pubis and pivot your hip at the end of your stroke, grinding on her clit.

              LOL. This is what led me to the dark. Haven't PE'd in the light since.

                I have been slowly increasing my stretching tension and volume. I considered my first few months stretching as conditioning, so I kept it light. I have been reading recently (older threads here and at T'sP) about keeping your pelvic floor muscles relaxed during long-duration stretching (and JAI's as well). I feel this is a critical aspect of stretching.

                THIS is pretty much exactly what I am aiming for when I stretch - wet noodle! And no, it's not easy. It's still a struggle to consistently attain this state. Being in the dark makes this possible for me. I think this was my problem when I tried to stretch in the daylight. I was no where near close to being relaxed. Stretching was completely ineffective for me until I was able to relax.

                Not yet. I may request this thread to become my log. I definitely don't claim to be an expert in PE techniques, and I am definitely still learning. I'm just trying to help any newbs and to give back. Thanks for the welcome.

                      LOL. /blush Of course I could, me and all the other veteran contributors here as well. Like I said in the beginning, I LURKED FOR 2 YEARS before I typed a single word here. Everything you may need is probably here already. There is a wealth of knowledge in these forums. You just need to read excessively and filter out what may apply to you. I've seen it written several times here from the vets - EVERYONE is different and their dicks may respond differently to certain stimuli. Time will tell what your body responds to. Have the patience to see what it takes. I think the early/easy gainers get lucky and they respond to the first things they try (or they're lying :-D), OR (VERY, VERY IMPORTANT!!!!) they happen to get the correct techniques down early on. Condition penis --> acquire technique--> gain.

                        There you go - mindful. This is PE in a nutshell. It's not just about the appendage you're physically manipulating. PE is just as much mental as it physical.

                          I have been on a split routine lately. Jelqs and stretching together dropped my EQ lower than I wanted. Now I am on a lighter routine. When I do jelq, it's earlier in the day.

                          5 on , 2 off
                          Everyday = 20 min warmup + 50 JAI's, then 3 sets tunica tugs (1 min, full flaccid) + 30 kegel stretches + 10 rotations + helicopters
                          Every other day = 15 min warmup + 30 V-jelqs + 70 Ok's + 2 Supra Slammers + 20min edging

                          EQ is back where I want it. Seems more like maintenance, but more jelqs could be added. I feel good at 6.5in x 5.25in for now. I also seem to respond noticeably better to jelqing than stretching. I'm now focusing on quality, slow strokes.
