'Do or do not, there is no try'... Aidan's log

[aidan784]

Definitely Bob, if you don't mind me calling you that, thank you. Like I've said I just seem to get carried away with girth stuff, nothing ridiculous in terms of grip, just enjoying the expansion.

Still, all the best to you and your family throughout this festive season! And thanks for checking in.

Oh, that was my 700th post, cool.

Well I heated up the rice sock ready to get my jelq on, only to find that I have no vaseline, so no workout. I'll probably aim for a very long edging session though. 5 days off, hmm not disastrous given the time of year.

Really can't wait to start stretching, couple of weeks away!

Where I'm at...

Where I'm at...

Well annoyingly those 'couple of days' over christmas turned into a couple of weeks. I think I've masturbated more, I think mostly once a day, not more than twice if I recall correctly though.

There have been times when I could have PE'ed, but to be honest I'm in a really crap place re: turkey neck. I'm sh*t scared to PE because I don't want to make it worse, been doing research that doesn't seem to be gettin me anywhere but hmm... It doesn't even seem to be problematic when erect, especially now that I can retract my foreskin. But flaccid, it really is pretty ugly, at a pretty odd crossroads.

Although with that being said I did try stretching today, 15 minutes, 3 minute holds each; 3 straight down, 2 to the right.

My problem is the foreskin still rolls back forward over the glans, not sure if that's a problem. Obviously I need to try and grip in front of the turkey neck but I don't feel a good stretch unless I'm further down the shaft. And it's hard to tell whether the webbing is in front of the grip or what.

So if I do PE I will update here, but this is just to make anybody who cares aware of the situation.

On another note, because of the foreskin stretching my penis has taken on a different appearance. With the 'ridged band' of the foreskin being more loose, it sits further back on the glans, and my flaccid looks better to me, with the foreskin appearing less long.

There is a problem with this, however, because I used to have no choice but to urinate with skin covering, and extending, the glans. But now that this isn't the case, and my piss is going everywhere hehe, well not exactly but it's completely different now. I've lost my 'piss groove', no just leaving it to hang and go on its own now.
And also when I retract to urinate, aiming is still difficult, I think maybe I'm just not used to it yet. But also, my frenulum is possibly attached a little too close to the meatus, nothing major but it may be partly responsible.

Anyway, I'm still here and checking in the gym regularly

I actually did quite a lot of manual stretching I think.
Did 15 minutes in the bath earlier on so warm up was there. When I say 15 minutes, I mean 15 minutes. 5 long, 3 minute holds, think it was 1 SD, 1L, 1R, and 2 sort of between BTC and UTRL under the right leg, involving putting the leg up on the side of the bath.

Did quite a bit later on stood next to a heater, might have actually been 30 minutes under stretch. Mainly SD and the UTL. Haven't done any SU but I stopped feeling a stretch in that position when doing rotaries and grip suffered, I'm going for lig gains anyway so that's not a problem for now.

Did a fair amount of the 'reverse erect skin stretch' after stretching also, really need some more shaft skin.

It's strange. The past 3 nights, following bringing stretches in, I've woke up with really good night wood, as well as morning wood each time. People talk about EQ suffering with stretching but other than it taking a bit longer to get fully hard mine was fine and my staying power was good during the skin stretching, staying erect with no stimulation for 2-3 minutes at a time.

Anyway, I'll do more stretching today, keeping with the long holds. Hope to get some good ol' jelqing in though.

Hesitate to say 'edging' till ejaculation earlier on, maybe 15 minutes.

Probably around 20 minutes manual stretching done later, it was about 30 with rests so 20 under actual stretch sounds about right. Didn't warm up but I was warm in general, was under the covers.

Got erect again after and did quite a bit of the skin stretching, as well as some flaccid. I'm quite optimistic this will work.

Hit the kegels quite a bit harder as well, need to keep this up.

Think I'm going to keep up with the daily routine, rest days as needed.

As a non-PE aside, had first driving lesson today. Terrifying isn't the word, it would appear I'm self conscious even while driving and spent too much time looking in the mirrors for other cars rather than on the road. Still, I feel a bit more confident.

Haha mate well done on starting your lessons! I've got another one tomorrow, never quite got round to it years ago when i should have. Instructor reckons i'll be good for the test in a month or so, i'm not sure about that but its good to hear. Cannot wait to get driving man, i've served my time on the buses! You'll be fine man all the best with it.

Cheers for birthday wishes to man yeah i'll be an old fart soon. Good to hear the foreskin work is going well and you've started stretching. I'll be interested in how quick the gains come because of the duration of stretch you're applying, i reckon you could be onto something with the 3 min holds.

Anyways mate keep up the good work, catch up with you after.

 

[aidan784]

Cheers for checking in man, yeah had another lesson yesterday, still terrifying. Still in a few months when I've passed it's a good thing to have in the bag.

PE-wise, I've decided on a stretch routine, almost.
It's basically the stretches from DLD's newbie routine ie. The 12 directions, but rather than 3 30 second stretches in one 3 minute long hold or three 1 minute long holds depending on whether grip slips etc.

Still struggling with grip in the stretches and not really feeling a stretch. Haven't done upward stretches properly because I struggle with grip but usually I'll do some extra downward or BTC stretches, as I've said not really a problem because I'm going for lig gains initially.

I jelq when I can but because of the turkey neck thing I'm still pretty wary of making things worse.
Doing quite a bit of edging aswell.

I'm going to look into getting balloonning down properly, I think especially with my age it could be really useful. That means trying to decipher doctor Lin's writing, not easy. If anybody with experience with ballooning reads this feel free to offer insights.
There's quite a lot on ballooning in the Multi-orgasmic man e-book that I've got so hopefully I can get somewhere by reading over that.

I'll try to update more in here, I should be getting somewhere with this routine, measure in a month or so.

The 12 directions, but rather than 3 30 second stretches in one 3 minute long hold or three 1 minute long holds depending on whether grip slips etc.

By 12 directions, are you referring to the hours on a clock? If so, that sounds like a great way to really attack the ligs. I HIGHLY suggest picking up some baby powder for your stretching sessions. Back when I was targeting length, my grip used to slip constantly which made stretching a real pain in the ass...After picking up some baby powder, my grip hasn't slipped once. Just sprinkle some on your stretching hand as well as the shaft and it really helps keep you locked in. Give it a try, brother. Keep us posted on whether the 12 directions helps you pick up some lig gains.

[aidan784]

Thanks for looking in Diesel, man. I've tried baby powder before but to no avail, I'll definitely try again, need to get some.

Actually, the 12 directions refer to Up, Straight out, Straight down and BTC but to the left, to the right and central for each one.

So up, up to the left, up to the right.
Straight out, to the left, to the right. Etc.

I need to throw some more rotaries in actually to hit all angles, thanks.

Full stretch routine done, only warmed up for 7 minutes but I was really radiating heat, do need to make a new rice sock though.

I still don't feel a stretch so not sure if I'm quite there with the grip yet. What I found last week was that if I reverse kegelled lightly while stretching I began to feel something and if I'd R K'd harder and pulled harder I could have got a lig pop, but this was only with some stretches, not all of them. Session went well though I suppose. Also held an extra 3 minute SD stretch with a cool wrap, going to experiment with the cool down. Credit to Eric for reminding me.

Edged for a while earlier with ejaculation, forgot how long for. Still haven't read up properly on ballooning, need to do that.

 

[wind chill]

Aidan are you sure about the 8?
I grabbed a ruler and actually got scared.That's monster looking

 

[vulcan]

Can you describe your 'gripping action' Aidan?

When I stretch I use a method which I can best describe as a left handed snooker player using a rest. I am right handed but for some reason use left hand when stretching. The force going into the stretch then comes from a slow extension of the tricep.

I know that I would find it very hard to get a good grip if I used the method seen in some of the videos on the site here. Just thought I'd throw that in.

 

[aidan784]

Struggling picturing that Vulcan but thanks for helping.

Well it's simply an overhand grip, near the glans, problem being that if I retract the foreskin and smoothe the skin further back and grip I can have problems with discomfort in the frenulum. If I grip with skin retracted and just sitting there, I find that my grip can sometimes slide up with the skin and I'm gripping the glans at which point I have to stop. I know that just seems a problem with slipping so I need to try baby powder again.

In fact thinking about it, and having watched some snooker this past week, it would seem my gripping action is similar to yours. Underhand grip has never done anything for me.

Just giggled to myself thinking about that stand-up's description of the action of playing snooker looking like you're tossing off a man behind you. Think it was Michael Macintyre. Childish I know, sorry
