When i was a boyscout in 80`s he did PE

I just wonder how those things spread and stay alive without things like Internet.

Ok I know in Sudan it was some tradition to jelq, so it goes from father to son.

Al Gore invented it.

:D

Is that word ‘stressing’ used in any other context. Not knowing Swedish I wanted to get a better idea of the meaning behind the word.

In the late 1960`s/early 70`s, Oz magazine (underground/hippie/counterculture UK mag) had a “Dr. Hippocrates” column where a whole range of sexual issues were written about, including increasing penis size by stretching and milking and using a pump. The method advertised for sale in Oz and other “non-mainstream” mags was the “Chartham Method” (if my memory is right; they say if you can remember the 60`s, you weren`t really there!) which I think was pumping and stretching.

Also, a recently deceased (aged 86) friend described being on naval north Atlantic convoy protection in WW2 and the sailors regularly doing cock stretching.

So, what goes round, comes around; the internet didn`t invent PE!

That’s very interesting stanby, especially the naval anecdote. The history of PE would be an interesting subject, as I think wesb has mentioned in a previous post, but there is usually quite a big issue concerning the reliability of any evidence provided.

It would be nice to hear other similar experiences.

I have always been curious to know if anyone here was taught PE by their father or older brother. The only thing my father taught me was how to kegel. He didn’t call it that and the purpose wasn’t PE per se. Rather, I was the kid in the car always saying “Hey Dad, pull over I gotta pee!” I think he figured this was a good way to get me passed a few more exits on the freeway.

Was anyone here taught PE by their Dad?

The word stress is the same word and means same thing in Swedish.

I too was taught kegels by my daddy. :) Not PE though. :(

But do I know PE is at least centuries old. In the Rubicon: Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic Tom Holland (da author) said something about evidence suggesting that fathers and mothers waaay back in da the Roman Republic (510 BC) times would stretch their new-born baby’s penis to enlarge it. I posted this sometime ago, somewhere on Thunder’s and it was ridiculed as ‘weird’. Frankly, I found that a little surprising from a bunch of guys stretching and squeezing their penises regularly.

But any way, this is a very interesting topic. We probably never will truly know when PE was first invented; realistically by many different people in completely different locations and times is to be expected – reminiscent too many ‘inventions’ mankind has made. One technique evolved like stretching (I presume very early in human existence), another individual who may have needed knowledge of basic penile erection function – could have come from dissection of dead or alive humans, for example - might have led him to a eureka-like basic ‘jelq’ technique. Perhaps they were both really desperate to please someone, when you need to invent something - you will.

Lots of these techniques were probably solitary until the Internet… *ahem* Thunder came around and put them all together in a pretty, neat pile. :) Go’ol information age, eh?

Well, I figured since Al Gore invented the internet, he must have also invented PE.

That was Thunder. He invented both, The Internet and PE.

When I was sixteen I also used to stress my dick a lot in the sleeping bag. It is just the proper thing to do in the woods.

I invented the one man tent!

I started PE back in 1978 or 79 using the “Chartham Method” which was penis enlargement package commercially sold in the UK. Looking back on it now it was really quite far sighted as the “system” included hot wrap, jelqing, stretching and pumping. I used the method for a few months and didn’t keep any detailed records but achieved solid gains, particularly in girth (I focused mainly on pumping as I found the exercises tedious). I would guess I moved from 6 x 4.5 to 7 x 6. At that time I was heavily into competitive running and would regularly be using locker rooms and showers and my gains drew many complimentary remarks from team mates. I rediscovered PE a few years ago and eventually found Thunders and using a combination of methods have moved to 7.5 NBPL and just under 8 BPL.

Irishjim, that is both an interesting and intriguing story. It is also fascinating to think that you have made seperate gains with a 20 year gap between them.

Maybe we need a “History and Development of PE” thread.

That will take a while lol.

Yes I am also curious and pleased at the renewed gains after such a long break. I’m 51 now and have spent a lifetime in sport, both competing and coaching, so I am forever fascinated by the effects of exercise and ageing on the human body. My recent gains have been accompanied by an unending series of night time super-charged woodies such as I have never experienced EVER before! I regard this alone as an incredible plus for PE even above the size gains.
