I've been doing PE for about a month now, though I had to take a week off for an injury 3 weeks ago (not stemming from PE). I haven't really noticed any size gains yet (though I would say my penis is harder and stronger), and I haven't increased force or time yet. Also, last night after PE, I felt a bit more sore than usual. Today, I found I didn't have morning wood, or a particularly nice hang, though no pain or anything, besides the post-workout ache. Am I making assumptions and jumping the gun, or am I doing something wrong? Should I increase time/force, continue what I am doing, or even (not preferably) take a break?

Please describe your routine (every step, from the very minute you start warming up to the minute you're done for the day) so we can assess your situation.

I just do the routine posted in the beginners guide, but go heavier with kegels, as I've been doing them for about 3 months:

10mins warm-up - use a warm washcloth, and usually go a minute or so over just to make up for re-heating the cloth.
6mins stretch - 30 second stretch in every direction
10mins jelq - Not sure, but i may err on the side of higher errection levels... I'd say about 60-70%. Also, I tend to jelq slowly, 3-5 seconds/jelq.
I usually sync it so I take a shower right after PE, so this acts as my cool down. Sometimes however, I skip cool-down all together.

Also, I think I'm going to try flaccid bends next week, provided everything is functioning smoothly...

Kegels:
I try and do 2 kegel sessions a day. As follows...

1st session:
10 sets of fast kegels for 5 seconds
4 sets of holding for 10 seconds
1 set of... I'm not sure what to call this, but kind of like Sevens in weight lifting, but for ten (1 kegel, rest, then 2 kegels, then 3, all the way to 10).
3 sets hold for 30 seconds

2nd:
4 sets of holding for 10 seconds
Ten's again, but this time, when I get to 10, I go back down to 1
Hold kegel for as long as possible. I can do it for a little over a 1-1/2 minutes.

That's it.

Your routine is very interesting. I like how you kegel. Here are some important steps you need to remember in order to PE properly:

1) When you take your days off, do not kegel. Your pelvic floor muscles need time to rest also. So, only kegel on days you work out.
2) It's better to count how many jelqs you do. 10 minutes is not a precise measurement for how many jelqs you did. If you don't want to count every jelq, turn your jelqing down to 5-6 minutes. Trust me, less jelqing is better. You will gain much better. If you're comfortable, keep the erection level at 60-70% and continue the slow 5 second jelqs. That's very good. Though trust me, ever since I turned my jelqs down to 75 per workout, I gained much more. I used to do 240. Turn your jelqs down!
3) Add the flaccid bend to your routine. It will prepare your penis for more intense girth exercises.
4) Start edging/ballooning. What that means: masturbate until you're going to cum, then stop. Do it again, then stop. Do this 10 times for the first few weeks, then turn it up to 15, 20...MAKE SURE YOU EJACULATE AFTER BALLOONING, or else your prostate will swell. Edging is when you are ejaculating and then you kegel really hard to stop the semen from flowing out. Obviously, for the first year or so, you won't be able to hold your cum back completely.

What is your schedule? 1 day on, 1 day off is good. Stick to that. Just remember what I told you and you're definitely doing great.

Yeah, I go for every other day, with the occasional 2-day break. Edging/Ballooning eh? I actually used to do this, and I didn't know what it was called! However, I don't masturbate as much as I used to, so I don't do it so much anymore... though I do have sex regularly, so not really a complaint, a hah. Should I do edging/ballooning on the same day as PE?

You can edge or balloon anytime you want to. I a lot of people edge/balloon right after their PE session.
