Ok now I'm discouraged.

So here’s what happened. I was very sick and I didn’t PE for about 5 days. I figured the break would give me the chance to see how much I had permanently gained, but unfortunately I lost about 2cm in length and 1cm in girth. I was shocked that I lost that much in just a short period of time. I also lost a huge amount of my flaccid hang. I can’t tell you exactly how much cause I never measured. The break cause me to loose nearly 1/4 of my total gains. I would hate to see what would happen if I had to quit for a few months.

So my question is how can I ensure that my gains are more permanent in the future. I have been doing PE for about 3 months so I had hoped that I had cemented things pretty well.

I stopped stretching for about six months and lost an inch or more. Now I’ve started stretching again and gained it back easily. Moral of the story is, once your penis has gotten there, it’s easier to get back, even if you lose it temporarily. But of course, if you neglect to do your PE, it won’t come back. It’s like exercise— if you do it you will be in shape, else you won’t.

Wait, are you saying that you gained 3 inches in 3 months?! If 2 cm is 1/4 of your total gains, then your total gains must be 8 cm (more than 3 inches).

It’s quite possible to loose gains in the short time you have been PEing. The gains have to be ‘cemented in’ as it were. It is just the same with bodybuilding etc. You can put on a bit of muscle , but loose it when you stop. The correlation of that is you should retrieve the gains fairly easily when you start exercising again.

I’m pretty sure that we all loose a bity of ‘gain’ when we ease off for a week ot two. But again, they can easily be restored.

I’m asking the same question.

Usually how long does it take for gains to be cemented?

It’s impossible to say ( except TIME!) It simply depends on the individual. Just like bodybuilding. Heavier guys will gain more easily as they will ‘cement’ more quickly. It depends on your body type.

In the same way your penis will respond depending on your make-up.

Normally 3 to 5 months is probably an average. (Although I haven’t done a survey)

Wow I bet you guys are really confused. I forgot to put the “.” so let me fix that right now.

I have lost .2cm length and .1cm girth.

Again sorry for the confusion.

If you really gained 3” in three months, it would be really strange if losing some of it was discouraging :P

That makes more sense. :)

Another possibility is that you lost a bit of EQ during time off. Also, since we are talking about millimeters, slightly different measurement technique might account for the perceived loss.

Thats a great point gjurob. I hadn’t thought about that but I have definitely noticed a decrease in EQ.

You’re worried because you lost 0.2cm or 20mm, crickey! I’d suggest this falls inside the normal error margin for measuring anyhow. What about the other 60mm you kept because of PE?

3 months isn’t enough to cement in my analysis anyhow. Also consider we all lose size over time, obviously if you are “bigger” due to PE you are likely to lose more size over time.

Even if you lose 50% of gains over time, you are still 50% better off than before :) .

Hey bill, I hope you are well now! If you were so sick, that explains your temporary lost in size. If I have some bad days in a row (lack of sleep, fatigue, etc) I also experience that. It is just a temporary condition, like lose in strength without losing muscle.

Thanks for all of the encouragement everyone. It seems to be everyone’s belief that it takes longer than 3 months to cement gains, anyone know about how long it usually takes.
