Maalem's PE Journey (Manual Stretching Only)

[malem]

Ok, I've been PEing everyday for 8 days now, had to do lots of trial/error in terms of consistently measuring max BPFSL, trying to look for that "sore" feeling at the base (actually managed to feel that a little bit when I stretched a little on the sides in addition to straight out stretches), etc.

Starting Date: 22nd March 2021
Starting size BPFSL: 8" 5/8 (21.9 cm)
Starting size BPEL: 8" 1/4 (20.9 cm)

Here is my starting BPFSL pic: https://imgur.com/ssQGtrf. Please note that this is my absolute highest measurement - I measured 5 times today so I can call it confirmed!
BPEL pic will follow in the next couple of days as I get a bit more privacy lol.

My routine so far:
- Hands and glans wash (with soap) for optimal grip
- I stretch my unit 6 times as hard as I can (going a little on the sides too) for 40-45 seconds per stretch

I do this 6 times a day, that would be equal to 36 daily hard stretches + one casual stretch (usually 15-20 seconds) whenever I am alone and think about it and also when I go pee. Every session is one hour away from the other (e.g. one session at 10, next one at 11, etc)

I am also thinking of measuring BPFSL more often in order to not waste time and quickly readjust my routine if I don't see any measurable gain. So from now on measuring twice a day. I will take one measurement first thing in the morning, and another one at the end of the 6th session.

I am pretty sure this thread won't be looked at by many people, but anyone is welcome to share his opinion/ideas in here

Let's hope for the best!

By the way, I am not looking to gain girth at all (~5.9 MSEG). Since I'm 8" 1/4 BPEL, i guess my goal would be to solidly hit 9 BPEL. But really I would be happy even if I get 0.5" of real EL

Also, obviously my routine/strategy is a lot inspired by PEGym highly valued member, and great new friend Stan!

Stan, if you see this, thank you so much for your precious infos and advice! I wish you good luck getting out of that annoying plateau You da man!!!

------------------------------------------------------


Didn't expect to make a gain that quick, but I *think* I hit 8" 3/4 BPFSL right after my 6th session today. Gotta find a way to confirm my BPFSL measurements so I can focus on next measurements to hit, if that makes any sense... So 8" 3/4 still not confirmed yet but I feel that I am close

Hey man what's your current NBPEL?

Hey man what's your current NBPEL?

I haven't measured NBPEL in a long time, but it's usually ~18cm

Just a follow-up on the stuff I said yesterday..

I measured BPFSL first thing in the morning today and was not able to reach 8" 3/4 but I was able to reach it after each session (except the first one - forgot the reading I got). Let's see if I'll be able to reach it tomorrow morning as soon as I wake up. If I can get it tomorrow first thing in the morning, I will call it my new BPFSL.

I know I said I would only be measuring BPFSL twice, but I need to be more consistent with my measuring. One way of mastering something is to do it A LOT of times therefore I will incorporate a BPFSL measurement after each session in addition to early morning/late night measurements. That way I will be 100% sure what I'm doing is effective!

 

[malem]

Alright, three important things worth sharing:

- I measured BPFSL early this morning and was able to reach 8" 3/4. Let's call it confirmed

- I casually pulled on my unit when I was done showering this morning and suddenly felt a click or pop inside my pubic area (right side iirc). It didn't hurt me at all though. I am not sure about the following at all but I remember feeling a movement like something shifted inside. I usually do my stretches while standing up but this time I was pulling on my unit while having one foot on the bath's edge and the other on the ground if that makes sense.. Any idea what this is due to is more than welcome! In the meantime, I will spend tomorrow morning doing some research on the matter. I feel this could mean I'm stretching hard enough and something is indeed happening.

- I had a very busy day today so I brought all of my sessions together. Took me ~30 minutes to finish all 36 stretches, then decided to measure BPFSL at the end. I was very happy to notice that I reached 8" 13/16 ^^ That's a tad more than my absolute maximum reading of 8" 3/4. So tomorrow I will still keep my sessions one hour apart from each other to see if I would get a better reading, or at least the same 8" 13/16. If not, I'll be doing my 36 stretches all in a row.

In conclusion, so far so good!

Been going through lots of trial/error with measurement consistency, especially with BPEL.. For BPFSL, I get two different readings: one reading of nearly 8"3/4 BPFSL when the ruler is on its edge, facing the camera and another reading of 8"7/8 BPFSL when it's flat and I'm looking at it from the top (of course I would make sure my eye is at the same level as the tip of my unit, very important). Since pictures never lie I will ignore the readings I see myself and only go by measured pics.


Regarding BPEL: It has come to my attention that in order to make EL gains, one must prepare to be able to get to max erection through edging and stay there for a while and also take multiple BPEL measurements. I am currently still trying to figure out my absolute maximum BPEL as it is a bit tricky since I can't seem to be able to push the ruler into my pubic bone as hard as I do it for BPFSL. This could also skew my measurements because I want to be able to track my BPEL/BPFSL difference in real time.


Sensitivity when edging: Right now I can do 10 minutes of edging but I really do need more like maybe 30+minutes in order to do my erect work routine and take several BPEL measurements. It's very weird since I'm usually able to last significantly longer in bed. Will keep track of my edging progress by documenting the maximum time I'm able to edge for.


As for my BPFSL progress: I think I made an improvement of about 1/8" during the last 2 weeks but not very sure since I just started and got better with measuring my BPFSL. HOWEVER, since I was never able to reach 9" BPFSL ever, I will be 100% convinced my routine is effective once I get to that reading, measuring the same exact way. Here are a couple BPFSL pics I took last week. It shows a bit of progress but not enough to ignore the margin of error:

I'm still doing my 36 hard stretches everyday and have decided to do them all at once as I get a slightly different reading before and after 36 stretches in a row. Will update once I get to a solid 8"3/4 and, of course, please feel free to comment share your ideas/opinions in this thread

Here are a couple BPFSL measurement pics I took today (Post-workout):

8"3/4 BPFSL https://imgur.com/NJo2Q9i
8"5/8 BPFSL https://imgur.com/dQt6496

First time reaching 8"3/4 at max stretchability. Second time reaching 8"5/8. Quite confused tbh but I will take two other BPFSL measurements now and see if I can reach 8"3/4 again only this time with the ruler more perpendicular to the door..

Will update in a minute, whether I reach it or not!

As promised, here's a couple more measurement pics:

Getting pretty darn close to 8"3/4 Wanna get past it so much right now hehe

Any idea what this is due to is more than welcome! In the meantime, I will spend tomorrow morning doing some research on the matter. I feel this could mean I'm stretching hard enough and something is indeed happening.

FWIW, I'm able to get those at every session now. I even know in which direction I need to pull and where to position my feet in order to trigger the pop. It happens once then I can't seem to be able to trigger it a second time. I will cause it after every second session of my routine. Can't seem to hurt me in any way and maybe it will benefit me in the long run!

Edit: Not every session but once every day.

IMO, the stretching "as hard as you can" portion of your training isn't something widely recommended. It's usually considered counterproductive to use too much force- not to mention dangerous!

If the goal is to gain BPFSL that will then be translated into BPEL then why not increase the intensity and decrease the volume since I'm lacking privacy? Otherwise I don't know how one can gain stretched length if he's not stretching beyond his BPEL i.e. beyond what restrains one's erection. I never felt any pain while stretching the way I do, after less than a minute my hand usually just gets tired or I lose the grip. The glans gets back to normal after a few seconds eventually. In addition, I seem to be having great pi's so far. Anyway, my aim with this is to be able to see if what I'm doing is working, and it should happen fast. That's why I have decided to set a primary goal of 9" BPFSL. If I do reach that number in a reasonably short amount of time, that would mean that I have been successful in gaining against one of my two limiting factors!

Think on how one would train for maximum flexibility. Especially when starting, the pressure used is light- as is the volume. Even with experience- rarely does one need to venture into anything dramatic as regards force.

Here's a few measured BPFSL pics I took first thing in the morning today:

It shows one measurement at 8"5\8 but the other ones show 8"3/4 or super near that mark. Perhaps I got that 8"5/8 as a result of not being at max stretchability. I mean those pics are screenshots of videos I take when measuring BPFSL and I don't recall when I was pulling super hard. However I am putting the 0" mark of the ruler at the exact same spot every time so I could claim 8"3/4 as my official BPFSL. I just want to be able to get it more easily.
So I'm still between the 8"5/8 and the 8"3/4 mark.

On a different note, I casually pulled on unit today and I definitely felt a dull feeling on my right side. I was almost sure I felt it before, but didn't want to be too hasty. Maybe a sign that I'm on the right track

Wow, I haven’t updated on my journey in so long! I have never kept a log in my life, certainly because I lack discipline lol. Anyway, I stopped stretching because doing it so hard and so often made my EQ suffer as a result, and I wasn’t sure whether the drops in EQ were related to gains or overtraining (leaning more towards the latter). I should also add that one day I found something similar to a rash on my glans and was diagnosed with psoriasis. I got scared and completely stopped stretching in order to get rid of the symptoms amd get back to 10/10 EQ. EQ is very good nowadays and the symptoms are gone thanks to a topical cream I was prescribed by my dermatologist. Therefore I decided to resume stretching, and slowly build up my routine

For the next week, I will measure my BPFSL every morning to know where I stand exactly.

This morning BPFSL was a good 8”11/16
