Trying again.

Hi all

After a month or so off, I think it’s time to revisit this forum and make official my restarting of PE. I first heard about jelqing and stretching last year and have been engaged in some kind of PE activity on and off since then. I was hanging very consistently earlier in the year, until recently I scared myself with what I thought was a T vein. I stopped all PE totally (like I say this was about a month ago) and now am about to start again, probably just with the newbie routine for now. I’m hoping that maintaining a higher presence on the forum will encourage me not to give up. I have always had low self esteem issues regarding my penis and have had problems with depression for the best part of my life (I’m seeing a therapist at the moment) so I really think it is time to get this sorted and put it behind me. I know that PE works (I saw some gains during the time I was PEing regularly) my main problem is keeping it up the routine. I often get disheartened, or if I have a bout of depression it’s easy to just say “to hell with it all” or be dismissive about it and myself. I can tell that you are a supportive bunch in here, and I think that’s what I need with this issue. It’s easy to feel very alone with these intensely personal things. So, yep. Here I am.

At present I’m 6” BPEL and just shy of 4.5” EG

Welcome back, ggb :) .

Tenacity is the mother of gains, so don’t give up.

What he said!

Hey man,

I too have motivational issues when doing exercises, PE being no exception. Since I cannot really motivate myself enough to look foward in Doing it, I just force myself to do it. Same goes for weight loss and other things. The hardest part is actually to begin with the routine, once you’re actually doing it, it’s not that bad. :)

I wish you best of luck. May great gains bestow upon you. :)

Gonnagetbig, This is really wierd because I gave up jelqing about a month ago, just been doing a bit of stretching but today I have decided to start up on the jelqing again. So you have my support bud, we’re very much in the same boat. About the depression, I understand completely, somedays it’s hard to face the world but people here at thunders give you such a boost.

I have similar stats to you so it will be interesting to see how well things go. Best of luck friend, lets get what we diserve, all the best!

I’ve found the best way for me to stay committed to PE is by keeping a journal. Once you put something down on paper (or type it), it’s hard to not follow through with the task.

I think the best way to be motivated to exercise is the results which it provides!

Once you start feeling better from physical exercise - losing weight and putting on muscle - or getting improved EQ or a bigger penis from PE, you have some pretty good motivation there I would say. :)

Good luck!

Oh yeah that’s definitely true, Cernunnos! I was pretty darn thrilled when I found a weight-loss solution that worked for me and gave me some excellent results! The problem, however, is to stay motivated when the weight loss (or in this context, PE gains) slow down or stop. This plateau can usually be overcome, but it can be quite a bitch. During the plateau-fase it can be really hard to stay completely committed. It’s just something you’ll have to sink your teeth in and fight through! :)

Yeah, I agree.

It’s hard to stay committed once you’ve started getting results and not say, “Well, I’ve got this far, I guess I can start relaxing a little,” especially if your lifestyle was pretty lazy or relaxed before you started exercising.

Same thing with PE: Once you get a little base girth and better EQ (which is all I’ve got so far) you start getting a little lazy.

As you say, you’ve just got to sink your teeth in and fight! ;)

Good luck dude!

Hey thanks for all your nice comments! Countdown2- cool. Yeh lets keep in touch and see how we get on. Maybe we can spur each other on or whatever. JB560- yes I think keeping a journal helped me before. Just marking down what I’d done on what days made it harder to avoid. I do think I was pushing it a bit hard before though, so I think I must make sure that I don’t try and enter into a competition with myself! I agree with what you’ve all said, really, and the newbie routine shouldn’t be too much hard work to sustain (especially 2 days on, 1 off). Just have to make sure I just DO it now!

Thanks again!

Isn’t wonderful having so many supportive friends?

Yes! It really is!

Take breaks but don’t give up, pe is a marraige.

I’m posting again as I keep visiting back here, but not doing any PE at all.I wonder what thats about? I’ve been having a hard time recently thanks to a very close (female) friend f***king my head up totally and have found it hard to pick myself up and get on with things. PE is one of those things I suppose. I’ll try and have a session tonight. I know this isn’t a very interesting post, but figure that just contributing to this forum may act as encouragement in itself…. .
