CanukBuck Progress
Hey everyone,
First I’d like to thank everyone for all their knowledge, support and encouragement to others in the forum/community. I’ve been reading as much info as I can for quite some time, but just recently joined the group. A little worried about posting things in the wrong place, or using the wrong acronym or something, but here we go.
I’ve been dabbling with PE for quite some time (stretching and jelqing mainly), but in the last year and a half or so I decided to commit and get consistent with the practice and see what sort of gains I could make. I’m a relatively motivated person, so when it comes to stuff like work, exercise or anything else I always look at what’s next and how do I get better. The same principle applies to my taking up consistent PE. I was happy enough with what I had, but figured “meh, why not see if I can add something”.
A little about myself. 39, married to my high school sweetheart, 2 younger kids, career and all the things that come with life. Wife and I have a great sex life and could be considered “lifestyle” adjacent. 6’2” and normally around 215 (currently 225ish due to quarantine weight that I just can’t shake).
Early 2019 after deciding to commit to some dedicated PE I had the talk with my wife (as it would be almost impossible to hide given the time commitment, plus having your spouse on board and supportive can only be a good thing). She thought it was a little weird and not necessary, but was supportive of the decision. A lot of my research up to that point was on Bath mate pumps. Not sure exactly why Bath mate, but they seemed safe and well made. One weekend we went to our local sex store and picked out the hydro 7 pump. I used that pump as directed in the packaging (3 x 5 minute sets) and did a lot of reading from the forums for probably 9 months or so. Personally I had a great experience with that pump. I really enjoyed the pumped feeling and gained pretty decently from it, to the point where I thought I should upgrade to the next size. Ordered the hydro max 9 and continued using that for the next few months. Only problem with the new pump was I needed to basically clamp my balls so that they didn’t get sucked up into the pump or painfully pinched at higher pressures. The clamping worked well, but added another element of prep and seemed to take some of the enjoyment out of the experience. Also, during this time I noticed some fluid retention just under my glands that I really did not like. After pumping I would wear a snug but not too tight wrap for an hour or 2 to stop the swelling. This worked well, but just another thing that needed to be incorporated into my day.
More reading, more research, and I decided that I should concentrate on length before girth as many people here promote. Not working from home and not having a ton of privacy I thought that hanging would be the next logical step. I felt like my cock was relatively conditioned from my prior pumping so I jumped into a routine that I felt was sustainable for my body and the time I could allocate to the practice. Always slow and steady and not using too much weight until it felt right. LOT as I understand is right around 7, so trying to concentrate on SO hanging.
Currently my routine is:
-20 minute hang after my morning shower while getting ready for the day followed by 100 light jelqs with coconut oil to restore circulation and make everything happy for the day. Hanging between 19 and 21 lbs alternating between SD and SO with my home made hanger.
-20 minute hang after supper, same jelqs, slightly lower weight depending on feeling. Same SO/SD.
-20 minute evening hang varying weight as required. Same angles. Sometimes miss this 3rd set depending on commitments and such.
I do this routine 7 days a week as I subscribe to the idea of keeping the tissues stretched as much as possible and not allowing total healing to avoid strengthening.
I have noticed some lowered EQ some evenings (we screw basically nightly, always have) but nothing permanent, just feels like my cock is tired and needs a break. No problems the following day though.
I have recently started using a rice sock to warmup prior to sets, and have started throwing in some fulcrum hanging while seated in place of one of the 2 later sets above (10lbs).
I measure BPFSL almost all the time, but only measure BPEL monthly when I can (not the sexiest thing to do with the Mrs). I was measuring MSEG consistently when I was pumping, but haven’t measured that in a while as I’m concentrating on length.
Wow, this seems really long, and I feel like there is so much more to the story. I’m definitely not an expert, and appreciate any and all input. If I’ve missed anything please ask. We are coming up to the beginning of December and I should get a new measurement soon.
Starting May-June 2019 (probably not pressing as hard as I currently do with ruler so could be lower measurement)
BPEL: 6 1/4-6 3/8
BPFSL: ??
MSEG: ??
Transition from Pumping routine to Hanging routine (early 2020, March?)
BPEL: 7 1/2
BPFSL: 8 - 8 1/4 (not 100% on this measure)
MSEG: 5 1/4
Currently:
BPEL: 7 1/2
BPFSL: 8 1/2-8 5/8
MSEG: 5 1/4 but haven’t measured in quite some time
I feel like transitioning from the pumping routine to the hanging I lost some BPEL temporarily. I recall measuring down to 7 1/4 at one point but have now gained that back. Hopefully hit 7 5/8 for December measurements.
Goal for me would be:
BPEL: 8 1/2
MSEG: 5 3/4 or 6 but not the priority right now.
