How does PE work really?

I have been around here for some time, and I still dont get it. I know there are many a wise person here, and perhaps you could help me understand it.

This is how I have understood it. When you PE (for girth) you force blood into the penis, causing controlled (hopefully) damage to something (cells?), and when the penis heals, it hopefully heals into a larger state than before=gains.

However, if the above is true, than it would be almost as important to make sure that the penis is in an enlarged state as much as possible (to ensure that it heals into a larger form), as it is to actually damage it (doing excercises). I mean, you could probably damage the penis enough to make gains fairly quickly, but the actual gains come when you rest. Just like when you work out in the gym. It’s important to exercise, but if you want to get bigger, its even more important that you take care of yourself while you rest. Its not like you get bigger when you exercise (although it might feel that way).

If the above is correct, than the ultimate way to gain would be to keep engorged 24h/day, and especially while sleeping (since thats probably when most of the healing happens).

Now, IF all this is true, then it’s pretty strange that there is so little information about how to rest correctly, and how to keep your penis engorged or stretched in a SAFE way while sleeping. The exercises are no more than ways to damage your penis, and actually not that important as long as you create enough microtears. Whats important is what you do AFTER you exercise.

…..am I right about this? Because if I am, I will have to make some BIG changes to my pe routine.

Well that’s what wrapping and ADC (All Day Constriction) are mostly used for. There’s not any scientifically proof that they work ofc. I started alternating wrapping with an elastic band for “recovering” in an elongated state (or sometimes I use a home made ADS with very low tension) and wearing a cock ring made of neoprene for “recovering” in an engorged state. I divided my stretching and girth routines in 2 sessions (1 in the morning and 1 in the evening), I usually wrap after the stretching rout. and use the cock ring after the girth (jelqing) session. I started PEing very recently so I can’t really tell you if it’s making any difference, but I figured it won’t “hurt” my gains, and the principle behind it made sense to me.

My 2 newbie cents

EDIT: I don’t sleep with anything on my penis, too risky IMO

2003? You have been here a long time! I would have thought you would have all the answers by now. ;)

I think the problem in finding the answers lies in the fact that you can tell 1000 men the same way to do something and they will go off and do it 1000 different ways, and 995 of them will hurt themselves doing it.

So PE becomes a personal journey, sometimes very different for each person.

I think you may be right in what you are saying, but in my opinion the risks involved in unmonitored PE far outweigh the benefits. It would be different if we were enlarging toes (we’d have ten tries before we really screwed ourselves), but with PE we get one mistake and it's game over!

The truth is, no one really knows what happens in the penis when measurable enlargement occurs after sustained PE exercises over extended periods of time. PE forums are full of speculation, some silly, some informed, but in the end it is all speculation. We have no detailed biochemical analysis of the tissues we are targeting in PE (tunica, ligs, and etc.). We have no photomicrographic evidence of what is happening or not happening at the tissue and cellular levels.

What we do know are some characteristics of the various tissue types present in the penis and elsewhere (think collagenous stuff, vascular stuff, among others). We do know that tunica construction varies among men—1 layer, 2 layers, three layers—although the distribution of these variances probably is not known with confidence. All this is food for speculation, but still we are limited to that.

So, what we’re left to do is just what people have done since dirt was new. We are building a kind of ‘cultural wisdom’ in the PE community. It comes together by piling on anecdote after anecdote. Old cultures (like New Guinea highland tribes, or Africa’s !Kung San) know a vast amount about living in their world—what to eat, where or when to find it, what not to eat. They don’t know the biochemistry of their food or of the natural materials they put to use (poisons from frog skins in the Amazon); they don’t know the geological history of the regions that host particular plant types (think soil mineralogy). But they know a damned lot that matters in the context of survival. The ‘whats’ are more important than the ‘whys’. Figuring out the ‘whys’ is kind of a luxury of the Scientific Age. It’s great to know the whys, and it makes life much more interesting, but you have to go with what you’ve got. And we just don’t have a team of well-funded science types ferreting out the fascinating whys of penis enlargement. Maybe some day, but not now.

Put your focus on grinding through the archives and sorting through what kinds of things guys have been doing that produce results. That’s how routines are constructed, and there’s always plenty of personal fine tuning involved because it’s evident that individual responses to a given routine will vary widely. There’s a lot of mystery in PE.

With dedication, consistency, and commitment. And heat.

This is why I believe that long duration edging can help with gains, or at the least cement them. I am talking about keeping a very hard hard-on for 45 to 60 minutes.

DO NOT do any form of sleeping PE, which is what I am afraid you are thinking about. Too dangerous.

Try adding edging into your routine if you haven’t already. Night wood will take care of the rest. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
