Hello Cloudxii —
Like you I lurked a long time — a year — before starting PE. I started in December — I wish I had started sooner!
Like others who have written to you, I too wonder about all that jelqing -
I have done well with a one day on/two days off routine — only doing about 90 three second jelqs per workout and 3 sets of standard 5 way stretches.
So far a ‘less is more’ approach has been working for me. Seems to be working for a far number of guys.
This is one of the threads that influenced me to go that route:
NEW newbie + advanced routine
Why beat stretch and squeeze your poor penis to death if a gentler approach will get you there? Especially when you start out.
Here’s an interesting post to a newbie from Pringles Can:

I have worked on bettering my technique since I reached 100 and continue to slowly gain. I started a 2 on 1 off routine. After I started to plateau (around the 8 month mark) - I switched to 2 days on and 2 days off and my PI’s increased dramatically and I began to gain again. So far I have gained 1.13" in length and a frog-hair over 1/2" in girth. My point is why not start slow and see if it works for you. So many people that race through the newbie stage and move on to more advanced exercises are passing up the easiest gains you can get from PE. "Less is more" works, it is safer, and maximizes gains. Good Luck!!

You are going to do great with those starting stats. Make sure you track these things and you’ll be good!
