Hey everyone!
I've been lurking around here for about 3 or 4 days now just reading up on techniques and the like, but now I think I'm finally reading to start this adventure. However I have a few questions to ask before I get started, and I hope someone can help me clear them up!
My first question is in regards to kegels... I have been doing them (not religiously, but I try to do them every other day) for about 2 weeks now and I'm still not sure if I am doing them correctly. First of all, I am aiming to do about 100 or so of 1-2 second holds. Then I try to hold it for as long as I can 3-5 times, taking minute breaks in between. Is this a decent plan? On all the threads I read here, no one advocates the long hold... mostly just 100-150 short ones. Furthermore, I have seen a few threads about how detrimental kegels can be if done too often, so is every other day fine?
Next is about the PC muscle. I've stopped my flow while I am peeing, and I believe I am using the PC muscle. However, for more clarification, should my penis move as I contract it? As it is now, it gives a slight twitch upon contracting what I believe to be the PC muscle.
My next concern is one about edging. I'm not sure if this is beneficial to increasing gains, or if it just makes you last longer. As it is, it takes me about a solid 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to masturbate while looking at really good porn. So I don't think edging is good for me, since it takes me so long to get there and when I do edge it, it adds about another 20 minutes or so onto my time to reach climax again. It's kind of frustrating.
Finally, I'd like to know about routines. I'm looking at PESuccessguy's "Back to Basics" routine as a good place to start. However, can anyone explain exactly what LOT stretches are? And the last part of this is about jelqing itself. I will be doing wet jelqs trying to maintain about 60% erection level, with a light grip like I was handling an egg (good tip!) and using the OK grip. So my question comes about the technique:
Do I use one hand at a time? For example, do I place my right hand at the base in the OK grip, then jelq (5 seconds?) up to the glans, then while removing that hand grab the base again with my left? Or, do I keep both hands at the base and make sure that one hand is always at the base waiting for it to be it's turn?
I think that's all the questions I have at this time!
I also plan to follow the "cool down" for about 5 minutes after everything as well as do a 2 days on 1 day off schedule.
Thanks for providing all the info I have already found!
