The past 2.5 years have been really busy as I'm now a father of a 2 year old son and homeowner.
However, in the past few months I would say that I've had a major breakthrough with respect to PE and simplified my routine quite a bit.
My main focus has revolved around a ligament stretching article that I discovered about 2-3 years ago, but never had a good chance to apply its concepts.
Basically the article is about muscle stretching for athletics. The article advised to not hold stretches for longer than 20 seconds because it results in elongated ligaments that results in reduced stability in joints. So my theory has been to do the opposite. Ideally I hold a stretch for at least 20 seconds, preferably 30 or more.
The second thing I've done is directional stretches in a specific sequence so as to target specific sections of ligaments at once. Length gains have always been a struggle for me due to the 2 cords of steel on the left and right sides facing upwards. These "cords" have always been impossible for me to stretch until now. Along with the sequence stretching I've also taken concepts from bundled stretching using twisting to help target the "cords". The idea is to first loosen up the weak ligaments first and then tackle the strong ones. By loosening up the weak ligaments it's easier to target the strong ones.
How does targeted stretching help? Well you don't have to pull as hard to get the same results. By using less force you also get less swelling and stretching of skin.
So here is my basic sequence. At each step I hold for 30 seconds or more.
1.) Straight Down (6 o'clock), no twist. The most basic stretch. Helps get the top ligaments loose. For me the top ligaments are the easiest to stretch, so I start here.
2.) Straight Down slightly to the right (5 o'clock), 90 degree twist such that the top faces right. This targets the left side of my top ligaments.
3.) Straight Down slightly to the left (7 o'clock), 90 degree twist.
4.) Repeat Straight Down. After targeting the right and left sides, I can get a much better stretch.
5.) Repeat Steps 1 thru 4 but rather than straight down go at a 45. Optionally you can do 5 positions here instead of just 3 by going straight, slightly right, way right, slightly left, and way left. Slightly right and slightly left are the most important though. When you feel around the base with your off hand and going slightly right or left, you should feel the stretch targeting your "steel cords".
6.) Repeat Step 5, but straight out. 5 positions is optional here as well.
7.) Repeat Step 5, but up at a 45.
8.) Repeat Steps 1 thru 4 but straight up.
9.) Edge my dick to full hardness.
That is a single set. On work out days, I will do at least 3 sets doing reps for 30-60 sec. On off days I'll do one maybe two sets doing reps only for 20 sec. Whenever is convenient, I'll try and do a set with 10 sec reps throughout the day. Ideally a 10 sec set every 3-4 hours will really help keep things loose.
A few months ago I hadn't done anything for stretching in months and I was around 7.5 BPFSL and 7.0 BPEL. But last night I measured 8.2 BPFSL and 7.8 BPEL by far the longest measurements ever. I've never broken 8.0 BPFSL, not even once. Everytime I would get close my dick and measure 7.8 or 7.9 BPFSL, my dick would get fatigued and turtle.
The second thing I've done is removed 90% of my girth workout. I only do girth workouts on workout days after I've done 2 or 3 sets and my EQ has dropped because I had a really awesome length workout and even those are limited. Given my stretches, my girth workouts are limited to jelqs and what I would call a reserve jelq or modified horse squeeze. I do a light stretch in the natural direction of my erection and then do a reverse jelq. Ideally I'm about 3/4s erect so that it's a bit more intense. The idea is that I am forcing blood into the base where the ligaments have stretched out the most.
That's really all I've done for the past few months. As a result I've regained the 1/4 inch I lost and gained another 1/2 inch. The other night I went to put on a brand of condom I've used for years (Crown Skinless) and I couldn't roll it all the way down. It stopped just shy of my pubic bone. I couldn't believe it.
