Very detailed progress report: day 1

Hi everyone. Before anything, I know it’s a long text.

I have started PE recently and I’m gonna be posting my progress report here occasionally in hopes that every now and then more experienced members can help guide me along the way. Or all in all just know if I’m on the right path. I also hope newcomers in the future can use my reports to guide them, learn with my mistakes and my successes.

That’s why I decided to write these long and detailed.

So today I did my first beginner’s routine. I started with warming up. I tried the rice sock method but it didn’t work very well. My penis was able to get hot after 10 minutes of rice sock, but that heat was lost in just 2 minutes after I stopped. I then reheated the sock and did another 8 minutes of rice sock warm up but when I was done, the sock was getting cool and my penis was just a tad bit warmer than the skin. I proceeded with my stretches and jelqs right after but I’m almost sure it wasn’t a good idea. Starting tomorrow I’ll try heating a cup of water and then dipping it in it as I know water transfers heat better.

I encountered problems right on the manual stretches. My penis got hard as soon as I did the first stretch. Not completely, I’d say about 80, 90%. All the videos I’ve seen show manual stretching done while fully flaccid. Is it wrong to stretch while erect and if yes, how do you guys keep your penis from erecting during that session?

No pains during stretch. I did find a bit hard to grasp my penis as sometimes it would just slip off my hand but I’m sure that’s the erection’s fault. I also learned it can take much more stretch than I hoped. Watching videos I thought “My penis is gonna rip if I pull it like that” but surprisingly it held ok. I’ll consider adjusting force as time goes depending on necessity.

After that I did the jelqs. I aimed for 100 jelqs of 5 seconds each. Again, same problems during the stretch, my penis would get erect too quick. I would do 10 jelqs, then around the number 6 it would get about 95% erect. I’d finish from 6 to 10 and then stop and wait a couple minutes. My erection quality seems to be good, or at least I hope so, because 2 minutes doesn’t do much difference, it goes from 95% to 80% at most.

At this point I had a dilemma. Wait longer or do it at 80% and see it go to 95% at the 6th jelq. I decided to not wait much longer as I imagine that too much waiting period can turn the exercise pointless. If I’m wrong on this one, correct me.

At the 50th jelq I switched to palm down OK grip and finished the jelq sessions always having the same erection problem.

I noticed the palm down grip would cause me to have a lot of difficulty pushing the blood forward, probably due to my penis curve. I would then slightly push it sideways. I am not sure if this is wrong, if jelqs must be done with the penis facing forward always, I’m hoping someone can clarify that.

My curve is also something I’m hoping jelqs help fix. I heard that jelqing naturally puts more stress on shorten ligaments which theoretically lowers the curve of the penis. I know curving is normal, but I personally never found my own curve attractive.

At the end of my jelqing session, I’d say near the 95th I started feeling a bit of pain on the glans. I don’t know if that pain was caused by too much force on the jelqs or if by the quantity and speed of the exercise. But it was right at the end so I’m not overly troubled by that, unless in the future it starts happening sooner.

I’m hoping someone can guide me on this one: reps, duration of rep or force. Which one is less important and which ones are more important?

After that I did 3 minute of warm down on a hot shower. I wanted to do at least 5 but I miscalculated the time. I’ll adjust tomorrow.

After that I lay down for kegels. I have done kegels here and there but never frequently and diligently. I didn’t have any problems finding out the PF muscle, or at least I believe I didn’t. I read this muscle area has many muscles near each other and you can easily miss the right ones but I’m confident that practice will bring more accuracy.

I soon found out kegels to be a challenge. The first or second went ok, but after that I noticed I was using too much abdominal muscle, sometimes even arching my back a little. I’m sure it’s because I lack strength in the PF so I try to compensate with these other muscular groups. So I believe, or at least I hope, that more practices will help me isolate it on the PF.

My kegel exercise was contract the PF for 5 seconds, pull air through nose, slowly release air while releasing the muscle, then try to “push” the muscle outwards, hold it there for 1 or 3 seconds, then relax again. Wait 10 seconds and repeat it all. As I understand the relaxing movement done between contraction and push are the “reverse kegels”, correct? If not, I’d like more clarification on what exactly is the reverse kegel.

The whole exercise, from rep 1 to 50 was terrible. The first and second came perfectly but the rest all had multiple flaws. Sometimes I held for just 1 second, sometimes I didn’t relax enough and felt it still contracted when it should be relaxed. The breathing was all out of synch, I had to constantly remind me to do the breathing. I practice martial arts, running and other sports so I know how hard it is to coordinate and find order in movements and breathing. I’m sure technique will improve with time.

I’m aiming for all that routine 3 times, then 1 day off, then 2 days in and 1 off for a total of 5 on 2 off. I’m not sure if that frequency is too much or too little but as days go by my body will tell me.

After my PE session I was feeling a tad bit fatigued on my PF muscle. No pains at all anywhere, but definitely fatigued as in I could clearly feel I had worked a muscle down there. Regarding my penis, I felt nothing besides maybe a little bit of fatigue from the jelq. But if any, very little.

That routine took me 1 hour. I know recommended time is 20 or 30 minutes but I lost a lot of time waiting for erections and general clumsiness. Over time I’ll get more efficient I hope.

After that I worked for an hour then took a break to do my edging. I have done some edge before but never frequently and diligently. I have premature ejaculation problems (the biggest motivation for seeking PE and kegels, in fact) so as was expected I’d soon start dripping semen. I edged for 1 hour and 10 minutes. The first 20 minutes had some dripping but the next 20 or 30 it seemed to have lowered a little. The last 30 minutes I definitely dripped a lot more. Sometimes I could see semen coming out in larger quantities, although I’d feel no orgasm. It would just drip, never shoot. Here I seek advice from experienced edgers, can this considered a failed edge, as in, an orgasm? I understand edging is supposed to stop right before the ejaculation, but should I consider these drips as ejaculation or only the actual shooting?

I try to breath as much as possible and clear my mind during my edgings.

I believe as far as breathing goes and mind I don’t have many problems. I don’t overly think about sex. I can go days without masturbation easily but then I frequently ejaculate a lot of semen just by talking to someone or touching them. I don’t think my psychology state influences my premature ejaculation so much, I believe my premature ejaculation problems come from overactive PF muscles. That’s why I hope my kegels fix that. I’ll keep posting reports occasionally in case anyone in the future with the same problems happen to read it.
