I believe I've come upon something that may have huge effects on your overall health/wellbeing and potentially your testicle size, testosterone and sperm count...

I've been supplementing primadophilus reteuri for just over two weeks now. I wish I had taken the pre-supplementation measurement of my testicles more seriously, for I've just gone on memory: some day (it's hazy-sorry) between 1/10-1/13 this month I began supplementing l. reuteri... before I get into the meat of what I've noticed, check out this study done on male mice (which have a reproductive system nearly identical to humans: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3879365/

So: I remember before the first pill of l. reuteri I took, I measured both testicles roughly 1.5 in. long x .75 in. wide/deep. I always thought up until that point I had "average" or even bigger balls. My preconceptions weren't accurate (according to what I've read about average testicle size) , or my measurements were off (likely).


In the past 4 days or so, I can confidently say my testicles feel heavier, bigger and I have accurately measured each testicle enough now to feel confident in these measurements: testicles are measured length x width x depth. Part of my self-guessing with the accuracy of my measurements was reading up the different averages for width x depth being as big as they are. I just can't seem to find these differences in my own - they're nearly the same. After a hot shower, I would isolate each testicle with one hand, then take my other hand and measure the dimensions by placing the testicle between my thumb and index finger, then - a few inches away, I would (do my best to) lock the dimension I measured in the measuring hand - and place it next to the ruler. I'd do this multiple times, and alternate hands. I did this multiple times before I was confident in the number.

current measurements: Length : (L) 2.5
(R) 2.33
Width/Depth: (L/R) 1.5


there could be a slight difference in my testicle width and depth, but I can't seem to accurately measure this difference - my balls not only feel pretty thick now, but my measurements showed me this - they both are nearly identical in thickness. Regardless, I remember they felt proportionally the same when they were (to my preconception) smaller a few weeks ago.

Either way, starting today I can say: I feel more confident, have more focus, more vigor (like the guy who made a post about it on reddit nearly a year ago: <commercial link removed by Admin>- and it's only been about two weeks.

btw if anyone has practice or experience with accurately measuring their testicles, I'd love to hear more of how you did so. I've read the most accurate method is ultrasound, but that is not realistic for me.


In addition to just taking r. reuteri, I've made a point to limit simple sugars / processed food since beginning this supplement - on the grounds that these types of food are not conducive to a healthy gut flora.

The next step (I feel) to help determine if something down there is changing - would be to measure the volume of my loads - which is something I have never done. I feel my libido has always been high - but in the last six months - generally it has gone down significantly. In the last 8 months I've self-medicated with masterbating a lot, as well as smoking marijuana, and diet and exercise has fallen off a cliff. But - I have on average significantly increased the times I ejaculate in one day (about 3 on average... some days upwards of 7, others maybe just once). Only since Christmas have I quit smoking Marijuana - which I feel has been a HUGE help for me on many levels. Just last night I measured my 4th cum-shot for the day with a teaspoon, I filled the spoon (only) about half way. I'll measure another load tonight before bed - but I have many bad habits to kick on my journey into the realm of PE, as well as many lifestyle changes.

I hadn't come upon this site until just a few days ago or I would have done a better job at coordinating my l. reuteri supplements with measurements, and a more scientific approach to providing what I feel is happening to me right now. I will say that I'm planning to recalibrate my entire day - my routines - my exercising, diet - and definately PE: specifically kegels, edging/balooning, penis warm-ups, stretches and jelqing. All of these may have an effect on my results - which could negate my argument that l. reuteri is doing anything to increasing load size and testicles size- but I have a benchmark to start from today.

In conclusion, I'd recommend to anyone who cares about nutrition, health and their balls to look into this, I truly believe the health benefits of reuteri seem to coincide with a more primed, efficient and healthy body - in my opinion ALL of these are things that would make the gains these mice saw as plausible.

I'm planning to track my testicle size here, as well as cum-shot volume.. Likely on a weekly/bi-monthly basis. I'm incredibly enthusiastic about all of this I've been reading and learning about here. If anyone else is as interested in male-specific health I'd love to chat. I'm no expert but I'm intrigued about making gains to improve the entire reproductive system... with the way modern data <commercial link removed by Admin>

is showing the drastic decline in male fertility, as well as the advance of technology and automation - I feel it is my benevolent right to develop the healthiest, strongest and smartest package I can - for the sake of evolution, or in light of the devolutionary markers I'm seeing under the illusion of everyday technology and habits of many, many people.

I just yesterday started to study about
lactic acid bacteria. There's increasing amount of studies that show enteric bacterias role in all kind of health related things, mental health too as example 90 % of serotonin is created in bowel.

I try to found out what bacteria strains would be most useful. L. Reuteri is one of them. Also what I found other good ones are:
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Lactobacillus paracasei
Bifidobacterium lactis

Probably many more good ones. I've yet to found how much you should consume these.

I first heard about Lactobacillus Reuteri and Rhamnosus from this video: https://youtu.be/67jTBWd0cX4
Your experience with larger testicles seems to be consistent with the video and the studies that he cites.
Very interesting... I couldn't find Reuteri or Rhamnosus at any grocery stores or nutrition stores near me... didn't think of looking on Amazon! Might try this out...

The studies also found that Reuteri had the effect on testicle size, while Rhamnosus affected the brain's stress response. Would be curious to hear if anyone has experience with Rhamnosus.

You would need a refrigerated package with live cultures to get any benefits I'm sure.

I used to take the stuff made by BioGaia; not sure I got much out of it. Then again, I eat copious amounts of fermented vegetables; which I highly recommend to everyone.

I can share my experience with lactobaccillus reuteri. I make yogurt seeded with the BioGaia tablets with orders of magnitude more bacteria count than the tablets alone and as long as you keep a quantity to seed the next batch you don’t need to keep buying the tablets. For about a month and a half I couldn’t really feel any difference, and the first couple days it turned my poop black, possibly due to initially overdoing it. I’ve been eating about the equivalent of a store bought single serving size twice a day. The last few weeks my libido has been through the roof and my last few erections during sex have been titanium hard. I’ve been focusing on my health and diet recently but that doesn’t account entirely for the recent sex drive and magically stiff woodies. This is just an anecdotal report but it does make a difference for me. You just need to be patient.

I was curious to check this post out, I've been taking pro-biotics for a few weeks now and it seems the one I'm taking got all the ingredients you guys listed.

I thought I'd update my experiences with lactobacillus reuteri (in yogurt form). By the way it's the simplest thing to make if you have an "Instant Pot". Just select "Yogurt", set it for 24 hours, then when it goes off, set it for another 12 for a total of 36 (the timer has a limit of 24 hours). If you're just starting out, grind up 10 tablets and mix it with about 4 tablespoons of prebiotic powder. It's easier if you make a slurry with a little milk as it makes it easier to mix. Put about a gallon of half-and-half into the pot, mix the slurry into the milk very thoroughly, then wait. When it's done, strain it through a towel or some cheesecloth for about half an hour (maybe less) to remove the liquid whey, then dump the giant quantity of yogurt into a large container. I usually put it in a bread mixer for a few minutes on high to smooth it out to the same smooth consistency of store-bought yogurt. It'll thicken up a bit in the fridge. It's very tart so you may want to flavor it with something. It's not terrible plain if you like it that way.

So anyway, you may have seen ads from Umzu and others about how it makes your balls bigger. I really don't know how you'd measure them accurately but after several months I can say it has made a small difference. The way I can tell is that when I sit up from the couch I can tell they're slightly bigger. My wife says they look bigger but honestly it's not as extreme as adding inches to your little soldier. I should have tested my testosterone before eating it regularly so I could see the difference, but I will request it the next trip to the doctor. The biggest difference for me has been significantly higher libido and more energy during the day. I just about always have erections overnight and morning wood just about every morning now. I'm in my early 50s and my libido is like I'm in my 20s again, although admittedly morning wood isn't the raging hard-ons I had as a teenager and my early 20s. It definitely makes a difference if you give it time.

You could try to isolate each ball when your sack is loose, get a flexible measuring tape and measure the length-wise circumference. It may not be as accurate as measuring penis girth but it is the same principle. Should be decent for measuring a volumetric change over time.

Who knows maybe there's an app for that.

Homemade Sauerkraut, probiotics

[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]I've a liking for sauerkraut, homemade, and enjoying the probiotic content, for whatever it was, and whatever health benefits may come along with consuming it. So, here's my report, for whatever it's worth.[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]To gather just about all I wanted to know, I used plenty of YouTube videos; for ingredients, hardware needed that is helpful in preparing, storing, and the suggested variations of ingredients.[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]This housewife's video was my favorite:[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]
[/FONT]​
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Tips that will help -
1. When stored in a container, sauerkraut needs to be submerged, under the level of the liquid/salt brine while it ferments.
2. Learn how much Salt (Without Iodine in it)(Sea Salt & the like) either per head of cabbage, or by cabbage weight is (about) correct to use. You can vary this a bit to your taste. I have mixed extra brine using sea salt and spring water to help.
3. Time to ferment. At room temperatures, 72 to 78° f, cabbage fermentation kicks in after 3-5 days. Begins to smell and taste really good. Some people leave it to ferment for months, and let that flavor build. Depending upon what extras you add in, your taste preferences, and the time; you can have some sauerkraut that tastes a gazillion times better than anything out of the store. No kidding!
4. Extras. My first batches, I used a half an apple, cored, thinly sliced, added into the jar with the sauerkraut. The apple sweetness and flavor contrasted with the sauerkraut was delicious. Carrots, Jalapeño peppers, Green Bell peppers and then there are some recipes out there that may suggest different spice additives. I'd suggest keep things simple, so you can really see, if you like what you have added. I prefer a rather simple mix, that does not detract too much from the main flavor. Have fun.
5. Fermentation ought to be in a darkened area, or throw a towel over the container or crock.
6. Cabbage/Slaw gets tromped/crushed/packed down into your container. Wooden sauerkraut pounders, 1 gallon wide mouth jars/jugs, Sea Salt, and extra fermentation gadgets are all available from Amazon, as one source.

As far as the nutritional/probiotic aspects, I'll leave the readers to research that some more and make their own determination(s).
I like the result, more so now, than before I started making my own. OMG, its so good!

Enjoy !

Yes but down to one serving per day instead of two since I'm trying to lose weight. I use Umzu Floracil-50 exclusively now. It has reuteri and rhamnosus that are related to testosterone and a few others that improve digestion. Definitely works as advertised. My balls have stopped growing now but they really did get bigger.

Hmm interesting any other input re fermented food etc ?
What is average ball size btw?
Anyone measure test before after changes in lifestyle I am interested in .
