Hi BearMeat
EQ has to have priority 1 all the times - final period. So yes, the EQ has to be regained before any PE can be relaunched. And I advocate too to refrain from using porn as I think it is a great way to build a healthy mindset, not only for PE.
The first training should be the introduction of some destressing and blood circulation enhancement. In my view, this can be done with walking, the optimum is walking in a good scenery. 10’000 steps a day is not much, but it has to be done. It helps you to get more blood to where it’s needed and even prevents cardiac deficencies on the long term. And walking outside, especially in great nature, is very relaxing for the soul. Try and find a way of including daily walking in your agenda.
Second candidate is Kegel exercises. By training your pelvic muscles, you gain “dick control” as you become able to manage the hardness at will by pumping blood into your erection. A gradual routine, starting with 1-2mins per day and adding a minute per week is sufficient. At least I can testify that Kegels were and still are my strongest way of improving EQ.
Then edging: yes, but without orgasm at the end. Try to keep yourself as long as possible and as close as possible to the point of no return. When you get too tired, just stop and let it deflate slowly. To be done best before sleep. Real edging without orgasm has, by the way, a PE effect as it creates quite some internal pressure which is good for girth growth.
Then sleep: sure, everybody tells you to have a regular sleep pattern. But how to achieve when life puts a lot of stress on you (which by the way is a ways more probable candidate for creating EQ problems than PE - aks yourself what stress patterns do you have). But there is a very mild drug helping: heavy red wine. I do not advocate to become an alcoholic, on the contrary. But even physicians see a lot of advantages in regular and moderate consumption, mainly as infarctus prevention. And it works ONLY with heavy red wine, no beer, white wine and surely avoid spirits. 1 glass (max 2 decilitres) before going to bed will calm you just the right amount to find sleep fast as you will be relaxed but not drunk. But really only one glass, not more!
Then back to PE:
I have a suspicion regarding you PE method: stretching several time per day for 1 minute (and I guess in several directions too). This is surprisingly heavy routine, as the penis does not get conditioned by warming up to what follows. So all tissues are pretty resistant and you need a lot of force for the stretches. So I guess your penis got a bit injured or at least traumatized by the heavy grips while stretching.
My recommendation is to introduce warm-up and warm-down and limit the stretching to 30 seconds per direction. Do sufficient rest days, a 1on/2off schedule for the first month should be perfect.
But again, first a decon break of at least 2 weeks during which you start walking and kegeling. Then only when EQ is good again start with PE.
Hope this helps
