Introducing Myself - New To PE

Hey everyone,

Just started a basic routine last Wednesday. Following the Newbie Routine, and looking to make some gains. I’m 22 years old and about to graduate college, and while I believe my starting stats are pretty average, I’m looking to fill out some magnums in a few years.

Starting: 6” NBPEL, ~4.8” MSEG.

I have a few questions. For those who have seen success with PE, how did you know when you were ready to make your routine a bit more intense? I am an engineering student and have been taking in as much info as possible. Also, when jelqing I’ve noticed I’ve had trouble staying sort of hard. I believe I have a pretty desensitized dick from years of jerking off with no lube. What are the downsides to jelqing with a slightly less hard cock, and is taking a pause to manually regain hardness and continuing still suitable for growth?

Thanks guys!

Welcome to the brotherhood, my friend.

About maintaining hardness… One thing I do is let go of the little guy for a moment, then do a kegel. This forces blood upward. Then I jelq upward again. Rinse and repeat a few times. After about 8 or 10 of those, I’ve got a pretty good erection going. That’s just one way…
