Half of the penis is a darker shade

Hey all,
I did a few months of PE following all the recommendations outlined in this site (thanks to all the people that help to make this forum great) and was unsure as to whether or not I had experienced any results. Some things came up and I had to stop PEing (one of them was my fear that it would lead to a loss in sensitivity, as I’m just paranoid about making my penis bigger but completely insensitive). However, over the past few months as I completely stopped PEing, I noticed that when flaccid the half of my penis that is closer to the base is a lighter shade than the half closer to the glans.

Basically about halfway down my flaccid theres ring of skin that goes around my penis thats a lighter shade and is probably ~2mm wide.. There are also plenty of almost unnoticeable stretch marks closer to the base of my penis, they look like the scars that are left over when stretch marks from working out stop being red.

Does this mean I gained that from PEing? And what does the difference in skin tone mean?

Thanks a lot for the help

What kind of PE you did? Hanging?

No all I did was the newbie routine (but with dry jelqs) and some fowfers..

Just to expand, the darker half of my penis doesnt look black or anything, it just looks.. Well without being racist it kinda looks asian (gym changeroom’s disgusting and my friends and I are often unintentionally exposed to things wed rather not see.. Again I’m not trying to be racist but all of us noticed asians have darker penises)

When you read the newbie threads, discolouration is mentioned as a common side-effect of PE. Jelqing increases the amount of blood in the outer skin of the penis, and because the pressure builds as you get toward the glans, the discolouration is usually more pronounced in the upper half of your shaft.
Firegoat rolls done after jelqing are the best way to avoid this happening. Unless the discolouration is very bad, it usually goes away with time off from PE, although it can take a few months. Better to do the firegoat rolls and avoid it as much as possible in the first place.

If you are circumcised, the 2mm band of no discolouration is probably your circumcision line.

You are being racist right now. I hope you do realise that. Not because of your observation that Asians have darker penises (which is a biological fact and not racist) but by pointing out 2 times you are “not a racist BUT Asians have darker penises” (BUT?). The fact you tell us that you are not a racist before mentioning a simple biological fact makes me think you are in fact aware of your own prejudices regarding Asians and hence you over-compensate by telling us twice you are not a racist.

These are my 2 cents. Of course I can’t mind read, so perhaps I am completely wrong (in which case I apologise). I just wanted to let you know how your remark MAY come across to some people who are sensitive to these issues. I am not trying to label you as a racist, I am just saying your comment may come across as such.

I am sensitive to these issues, having live in Asia, but I didn’t consider the remark racist.
