How can I work on that, what do you do. My routine is I use coconut oil and try to get some blood moving around and keep it loose and dangling by doing some jelqing for maybe like 30 to 60 reps, I do about 30-40 testicle jelqs, 5 to 10 minute warm towel warmup, then take a 30 minute shower/bath and use the bathmate x30 for 20 minutes. I then do another 5 minute warm towel cool down. I have been doing PE since October of 2016. I have done stretches, I have done pumped bends, pumped squeezes, bed fowlers, behind the ass pulls, dick twists with stretching. I think that is it. Thanks for help to question.
Hey Diddy
If I make a rough guess about the above mentioned routine it’s
- 5 min jelqing
- 5min testicle jelqing (by the way: what is that as exercise?)
- 5-10 min warm-up
- 30min shower/bath (including 20min of Bathmate use)
- 5min warm-down
That sums up to an estimated 50 minutes - plenty of time I think.
So it’s well feasible to have an alternative procedure.
Your primary goal is length. I am sorry but the Bathmate will not terribly help you in that.
I know this is not the news you wanted to hear - spent already quite some cash on your first X20 and now having the x30, but that’s the way it is.
The reason is simply the size of the Bathmates. Most pumpers say that a custom-fitted tube is essential if you want to work on specific goals.
The Bathmate is a “one size fits all device” within the same model.
So if you grow out of a model let’s say for girth reasons and are aiming for length.
The next model may be a bit too large and therefore creating too much vacuum on the sides (which works on girth) instead of having a snugly fit where the vacuum works mainly on length.
Therefore, water pumping with the Bathmate has some limitations if you have specific goals.
Working for length is the good old stretching - and yes, jelqing too.
Stretching is an easy thing, it’s pretty simple to do and to get the right grip and force.
So I’d propose that you introduce stretching as specific length-oriented exercise.
Then jelqing: you say you don’t like it but you nevertheless do it as preparation for the Bathmate.
And you said you never had the feeling of the blood flowing - maybe you simply jelqed at a level of erection which is too high.
Jelqing is maybe a bit more complicated than stretching, but it is probably the generally most recognized exercise working on length and girth.
It is, in my humble view, the “general purpose” exercise that should be part of every routine.
It is well worth learning it - so give yourself some time.
You did not mention your warm-up method, but as you do it in the bathroom I guess it’s a damp wash cloth.
I am a big fan of the rice-sock as the heat gets applied deeper, but I think we just let things as they are for the moment.
So, now lets get practical. It’s time for a rest… for the Bathmate!
But first you have to decondition yourself maybe a bit, so I’d say make a 1 or 2 week break.
What I would propose is the switch to the following routine
- Warm-up 5min with wash cloth
- Dry the penis, grab some cosmetic towels for a better grip and do stretching: 2x 30seconds 5-directions (up/down/left/right/out)
- Get an erection of a maximum of 50% and start the wet jelqing. Do slow jelqs (5 second per movement). Before every jelq, Kegel some blood in the penis to keep the erection level at 50%. Do 60 jelqs! this lasts roughly 5 minutes.
- Then relax and start masturbating - this replaces the Bathmate part, only this time the pressure comes from inside and is more effective - so masturbate as first measure to get as hard as you can.
- Then keep yourself as hard as possible for as long as possible - but WITHOUT orgasm! If the erection gets weaker, start to Kegel again until it’s rock hard.
- When you are really close to the point of no return STOP!
- The comes the final 5min warm-down.
Then ramp up to the following way:
Month 1 2on/2off
Month 2 3on/2off
Month 3 4on/2off
Month 4 5on/2off (maximum frequency)
Measure and report on a monthly base and we’ll see how far you get :-)
