Newbie Baseball Effect

Hey all!

I’m really new to PE and I have yet to begin a routine of any kind apart from some casual stretching.
I simply have one question that I can’t seem to find a straight-forward answer to throughout the forums.

My penis seems to naturally have a slight baseball effect. It isn’t TOO bad but it is noticeable.

I’ve seen mentions of HORSE exercises but I wanted to avoid taking the risk of trying any advance techniques since I really only have a basic understanding of PE

Does anyone have any recommendations for newbie routines/exercises/stretches that can help fix this baseball effect?

Also, just to confirm..

1- Is it best to start with length gains and THEN girth after achieving desired length gains? (Or the other way around?)
2- I read on another newbie thread that someone actually LOST length/girth from doing erect jelqing.. Is losing stats actually possible?

Thank you ahead of time for any advice!

Don’t worry about the baseball bat effect to start with. You may find just stretching helps a little with base girth. After at least the first 3 months of the newbie routine you can start to do things that will even out or alter the shape of your penis a bit.

I believe is is absolutely best to work length and girth at the same time, unless your penis is either very long and thin or very short and fat, in which case you may want to ‘specialise’ a bit.

After a very intense exercise like erect jelqing (which you should NOT be doing) the tissues will contract as they recover so yes, it is possible, but not permanent :)

Thanks for the advice!
What if I wanna get rid of baseball look ASAP? Are there any newbie techniques I could start right now to address this issue?

I agree with firegoat. There are some very specific situations where doing length and girth together will be problematic though none of them apply to the manual exercises found in the newbie routine.

However, just for your information, those situations are:

1) if you are doing very advanced length or girth work, recovery could be an issue and piling the other kinds of exercises on top can push you over the edge. For instance, if you are seriously clamping then you probably need a good deal of time just to recover from the clamping and adding serious length work to the mix, aside from basic manual stretching, will make it even harder to recover.

2) because stress is a function of force and cross sectional area, very large girths will require greater forces to achieve similar results. But most people will not all the sudden wake up with a 7” girth after doing the newbie routine for a couple months. :)

3) if you are doing PE that requires a large time commitment, such as hanging, practical considerations will get in the way of adding the other form of exercise. Things like life and responsibilities.

You are new here, and I’m sure you don’t fall into one of the above categories (yet), so really doing both together would be fine.

As to the best way to target base girth, I would say that is probably hanging. I hang primarily, and unlike many here, I don’t believe hanging is dangerous for a newcomer if they take the time to learn everything they can and are smart about it. Since I started hanging, my base girth has increased about .5” while my mid shaft girth has not increased at all. Hanging is definitely not right for everyone though and it requires a modest investment of money in some cases, so do some research before you make that decision.

However, for now I think firegoat is right, and unless improving base girth is your ONLY goal, I would focus on general PE first before specifically trying to target base girth. And baseball bat shapes are kind of cool in my opinion. :)

Ah I see. I was really just double checking to see if the newbie routine also helps with base girth on top of length + mid shaft girth. Because the last thing I would want.. Is to do the newbie routine and REALLY turn my buddy into a baseball bat =D

Is there a picture somewhere of the baseball bat effect?

Skinnier at the base than anywhere else. Sometimes fattest at the head, sometimes fattest mid-shaft, but always skinniest at the base.

Oh I have that. Although the girth is the same, from my point of view, it looks skinnier.

The C’S is usually more pronounced near the base so the girth might be the same but the shaft might not look as wide at the base.

Yeah

Does anyone have any general advice for avoid full erections during a jelqing session? I’m still new but I’m finding it extremely difficult to stop myself from getting a full erection..

The only way I’ve been able to cope with it is jelq while watching a TV show on my laptop (and that only KINDA works)

Phazze93 I had the same problem when I started jelqing some months ago. It just went away after a while. I believe it’s something about getting used to it. Since my relationship with my mini me was only sexual based, maybe my brain was thinking I was finding a new way to masturbate. Hahahah

I sure hope it goes away.. I find it easiest when lying down. Keeps my body relaxed. Maybe my brain is getting confused because I’m also edging to increase stamina right now lololol

Quick question, is jelqing ONLY effective if you do it day after day consecutively? Like 5 days in a row, then 2 days of rest? Rather than every other day? Or are the gains on a per session basis?

There is a basic minimum foundation of knowledge you should have which can be found in the threads linked here: Important Newbie Threads/Info
Those should answer most of your questions.
The erection problem does usually just go away once your penis learns you are not masturbating. If it remains a problem just masturbate before jelqing until your penis learns to stay slightly softer.
