Hi BearMeat
I think your dick gave you a yell - and fortunately you start to listen. Every dick is individual, and maybe yes, indeed, that was just a wee bit too much for him.
To 1: well possible, depends of the individual pain threshold. People with high pain resistance in general can do damage to their body without noticing it. But that’s rather rare, and especially we men are pretty cautious when we start stretching the only dick we have. It has to be comfortable, not painful. Watch your PI’s, they are reliable as source for feedback.
To 2: well it’s not only ONE thing you changed. You changed TWO parameters at the same time, frequency and method. Therefore it is harder to identify the source of the problem. I strongly advocate in PE to modify only one parameter of an individual routine (frequency, method applied, intensity or duration) and then go with the new routine until you are sure that all PI’s are sound. For me that means at least one month. Try to establish a corresponding schedule in advance.
To 3: well, 1 off 1 on is already pretty intense. I sincerely think you should go a bit slower and have two resting days in a row and not only one. In your case, I would start with a 1 on 2 off (or even 3 off) schedule, then go to 2 on 2 off, then 3 on 2 off etc until you find the right frequency for your dick. Never more than 5 on in a row. And never less than 2 resting days in a row. And the increase should be no shorter than every 4 weeks. Give your dick the time to react. And if PI’s go down again, immediately step back to the frequency where the PI’s were good.
So take a break, I’d say 1 or better 2 weeks and then start again. And plan your build-up systematically. This works! I am relaunching my PE too, and I take full 28 weeks to get back in the routine where I noticed according to my logbook and my measurements to be in the sweet zone of continuous growth.
And now the mandatory Old Richard65 questions/suggestions (maybe I should have this as text block ready somewhere :-) )
- What about heat? Before and as much important after PE?
- Stretching before jelqing, erection level should be zero.
- What about massage of the pelvic region, mainly the taint? Enhances the blood circulation where it’s most needed.
- And what about Kegels? They do wonders in case of EQ troubles. Make a separate Kegel routine that you do whenever you have time and can focus on it (commuting, boring business conferences, long phone calls with mother in law :-) ).
- Keep a detailed logbook about anything PE related (I even have notices about sports, food, alcohol/drugs and state of mind in it). It helps you to find root-cause relations pretty quickly.
- Last but not least: what about enhancing blood circulation in general. Get out in the green and have a walk.
End of the mandatory Old Richard65 questions… :-)
Just my 2 cents, but I hope this falls on fruitful grounds.
