Journey to Average and Beyond
This is for anyone out there like I was, unhappy and thinking about PE but not sure if it worked or if it was worth the time. I want to offer you my tips and experience so far.
I started my PE journey in 2004 when I realized (both in the bedroom and the locker room) that I was not average and in fact well below average at just under 4.5” BPEL x 4” MSEG. I always had a feeling that I wasn’t that big, but once I saw just how small I was, I was embarrassed, disappointed, and depressed. Not thinking that there was any kind of real solution for my small member.
I read about Jelqing around the same time on a PE forum (not sure what it was at the time), but didn’t believe it was real or would work. However, I tried it on and off though summer of 2004, hurting myself and learning along the way, with no real results. About 10 years later, I got back onto the forum once more and started Jelqing again with more consistency about 10 years later, but the amount of work involved and my lack of faith led me to become discouraged and to give up once more. So, I ultimately tried to “love myself the way I was” but it always bothered me and I was never completely happy.
Recently, I realized that I was never going to be happy with how small I was and that I was going to do something about it. If you don’t like something about yourself then do something to change it (within reason, of course).
After some more research on this forum, Hanging sounded promising, seemed possibly dangerous, but it clearly got results. Once I read about experiences from the infamous Bib and other members, I started hanging and haven’t looked back. I started with a noose type (Zen) hanger as it was an inexpensive way to experiment. I also use a vacuum type ADS (all day stretcher) for most of the day. The Zen hanger is working well and I haven’t had any issues with it, but I wouldn’t where it all day, as it will cut off blood flow if used for too long without breaks.
After the first month, I gained a 1/4” and was at 4 3/4” BPEL. After four more weeks, I gained another 1/4” and am now at 5” BPEL. At this rate, I hope to reach 6” by July. Only concerned about length right now and not sure what my current erect girth is.
I started out at just under 4 1/2” and after measuring and realizing for myself that PE works, I am totally blown away. For the other newbies out there - there’s nothing quite like the moment you take your first measurement and realize for yourself that PE works. I haven’t felt this happy and this confident in a long time.
My current routine:
Rice sock warm up - 10min
Quick stretch and wrap
Set#1: 2.5lbs. - 20min
Break - 5min
Set#2: 2.5lbs. - 20min
Break - 5min
Set#3: 2lbs. - 20min
Break - 5min
Set#4: 1.5lbs. - 20min
I “ride the fatigue”, reducing the weight each set as necessary, but the time intervals are the same. Four sets per day, trying to work up to 5 sets per day or at least 10 hours of hang time per week. I do my routine every day of the week unless I hurt myself.
Final Goal: ~7”-8” BPEL
Suggestions:
-Keep a journal about your routine specifics (weights, times), thoughts and feelings (physical and mental) - you’ll learn a lot about your routine and yourself in the process.
-Use a rice sock (1.5min in the microwave) or similar, small heating pads don’t conform and are not hot enough.
-Study the wrap drawings here. Once I got the wrap right, I was on my way.
-Read about fatigue and what it is.
Things that keep me going: 1) Wanting to be proud of what I have. 2) My personal PE journal - keeps me in tune with my routine, myself and how I’m feeling. 3) Knowing that discouragement will come, acknowledge it and let it pass.
You have to be willing to put in the work, and if you want it bad enough, you will.
I owe pretty much all of my knowledge on this, as well as my gains, to this forum. The least I can do is share my story and hope someone learns something from it.
I am planning on updating my progress on this thread every month or so. Thanks!
