Another Beginner Gains Testimonial

I’m a relatively new devotee to PE. I thought this might be a good time to share my experience with the others since it appears to me by now that it all isn’t a bunch of hooey.

Just a quick history…
I started PE in Feb. of 1998 when I bought my pump. I was 40 then and sick and tired of having a small dick, so I was ready to try about anything. I had no idea how to properly use it so I stumbled through it alone, got alot of blisters and racked up a $500 medical bill from developing serious complications (search the Pumpers forum for “Injury Caution” for details).
I continued pumping off and on for 4 years after that before coming across this forum. I think I can say that I probably gained 1/4 inch in erect girth in that time, but zero length.
Frustrated with these poor results I decided to try the techniques I’ve learned from reading these postings. That was about this past March.

I think I have to qualify myself as a slow gainer. I saw no verifiable gains until this July. It appeared then that I had put on an extra 1/4 inch in erect length and maybe a little bit of girth. I was hopefully encouraged by this and decided to intensify my routine and try to make another 1/4 inch by the end of August. That would put me at a respectable average 6”.

I did my last workout last night Aug 31. and measured this afternoon Sept.1 , and seem to have achieved that goal. Maybe, not sure, depending how you measure it. I’m trying to be as conservative as possible with the ruler in order not to fool myself, but it looks that way. I’m still having trouble convincing myself there is a difference.

What this means to me is that I should continue the workouts, but possibly with more intensity, since I’m still not pushing real hard. I’m trying to be safe.

What this means to others considering trying PE is that it works, but have no illlusions, it will take a lot of hard work, time, and dedication. Pretty much the same as body-building. I don’t like going to the gym, and I certainly don’t like yanking on my dick for an hour every night, but dammit! if I can have a bigger dick I want one!

My routine - certainly not a model for anyone, but open for comments and suggestions.

morning…
5-10 min hot wrap for warmup.
2 10-15 min hanging sets with about 10-12 lbs. while I fix breakfast.
15-20 mins. pumping while I eat . I use a 1.75” diameter tube, and pack it by the end of the session for maximum stretch.

After shower I run hot water from the bathtub spigot over my penis to loosen it up and do stretches under the warm stream for a few minutes.
Last I apply a traction wrap on my floppy noodle dick to keep it extended.

I think traction wrapping is key to flaccid gains. I’m definately hanging longer and heavier. I’m going to try to wear a traction wrap as often as possible - day and night - even on off days.

Night time…

10 min. hot wrap
10-15 min. manual stretching.
200 wet jelqs
Time permitting I will do 100 jelqs then pump 15 min. then complete the rest of the jelqs.
some squeezes and uli’s in between.
hot wrap
traction wrap for bed
hang while sleeping
When I lay down to sleep I apply a light weight over the edge of the bed and hang while I sleep. Its not tight or heavy enough to constrict blood flow, but I usually take it off after an hour, or wake up at some point and take it off.

I do this 3-4 days on and 2 days off. It may seem like alot, but my dick never gets too sore, and I mix it up alot.

My stats…
before ever starting
5.5” erect length non-bone pressed
5” base erect girth 4.75” mid shaft

currently
barely 6” erect length nbpel
5.75” base erect girth 5.5” mid shaft

I’m going to take 5 days off to recoop after 2 1/2 months of continuous workout. We will see if there is a difference then.

Sorry for the long post. I hope there is some useful information there.

Tinytim,

Welcome, it seems you have a pretty reasonable routine there. Looks like your workout is just over an hour total per day. I used to think that hanging at night (asleep) would be dangerous but then I saw on a surgery sight that they recommended it after their procedure so I guess it’s okay if you’re careful. (I am going to start hanging soon)

I started off with about the same measurements as you. I too consider myself a slow gainer, but gaining none the less.

I know what you mean about not quite trusting or believing the gains. Although I really think Nbp is the more useful measurement, I have found BP to be more consistent and reliable for judging gains. You might want to consider it.

To make sure I am always consistent I push as hard as I can to the pubic bone to make sure it is always the same.

You mentioned you may start a more intense workout which is fine, but know that some guys seem to do better with a less is more approach, so if you’re making gains now with your routine maybe think about keeping it until you plateau. Your call of course.

You sure made some great girth gains 4.75 to 5.5 MS. How much of that was from pumping only and how much from your new routine?

Good luck with future gains.

Thanks for the reply goingforit.

The girth gains were the most apparent. I think about .5” was from pumping, and I discovered that more than a year ago I think. The Pe exercises may have added an additional 1/4 inch. at the base.

Not sure how much more I will push this routine, I’m probably just impatient. I’m still in the experimental stage, but finding things that seem to work. At this point I’m pretty sold on traction wrapping.

I agree that bone pressed is a more reliable method of measure but I have a prejudice against quoting those stats since it is sort of meaningless. A good 1/2 inch or more is unusable penis. I have found that measuring while lying down is a good method similar to bone pressed since the fat pad flattens out on me.
I checked my bone-pressed length as 7” , but again so what, the girl only sees 6”.

I do the night hanging to get alittle extra stretch. Its not much. Very light weight just to provide a comfortable tug.

Hi tinytim, can you tell me more about this traction wrapping, how do you use it and is it something you can make at home or do you need to buy it. I would appreciate a repsonse thanks

Hey 007 there is a Search funciton at the top of every page. When I hit the button and put in ‘Traction wrapping’, it came up with a lot of threads.
Here is the link to all the threads you can find on it….

Read on! :D

~Q

I haven’t read all the related threads, but I can offer my simple application.

The whole point of traction wrapping is to keep the flaccid penis as extended as possible to allow it to rebuild in a longer form. There are some contraptions on the web designed to keep the penis stretched out but are pretty cumbersome and obtrusive.

I wanted something that would be like placing my flaccid dick in a snug tube, but not completely stiff.

I went to a fabric store and bought a small swatch of spandex material. I cut a piece about 10” long and 6” wide ( my stretched flaccid length ).

I stretch out my penis and wrap the material around it and fasten both ends with scotch tape. It creates a pretty snug and firm tube but is still flexible. I can wear it in my pants without looking too abnoxious.

I wear it at night, and when I get the morning wood to hold back urination, the wrap gets pretty tight. When I take in off I have a pretty hefty erection. Keeping the tape alittle looser than usual will prevent this, or fastening it with a rubber band might help.

This seems like a very good idea. I like the idea of keeping the flaccid penis in a stretched state so it may rebuild in a longer form. The one possible problem with the tube of spandex around the entire penis could be the compression it causes reducing the blood flow to all areas of the penis covered by the tube. This may (or may not—don’t know haven’t tried) slow the recovery time to those areas. I would guess that a major part of recovery is getting a constant fresh supply of blood to the areas that need healing.

Still I really like the idea of your ADS being self-contained with no extra components that have to be attached to the leg or elsewhere. I would think the ideal ADS would be self contained (like yours) but have minimal contact with the penis so as to not restrict blood flow.

I’d be curious to see the results of your invention.

tinytim,

If you have a fat pad that sloshes around on you from changing positions, that’s quite a bit of padding you got there. I agree, appearance means a lot but I would think you could lose a half-inch of fat pad with a weight-loss program.

Ever think of liposucking out that fat pad? If you can lose 3/4 inch of fat pad that way, that’s well worth it.

While you’re at it, laser out those pubic hairs. The visual is a bigger look.

Thanks for your constructive comments, but just for the record, I’m no where near in need of liposuction. I’ve done weight workouts since 1984 and have a slightly visible washboard stomach. I won’t go as far as laser hair removal, but I do pluck about 1/2” around the pubic area.

All I know is that my nbp erect length is 6” and bone-pressed is 7”. Maybe its just alot of skin, but there is not much fat left to loose.

you have a FSL of 10 “?????

No. the 10” length is the wrap. The 6” is the fsl or the width of the wrap.
