I've been discussing PE with an LLM in an attempt to find answers to this question, and I've searched the forums with little results, so I figured I'd start my first thread here.

My bone pressed flaccid comes in at about 6.5", and my bone pressed erect length is 8.5", with 6" of girth. I've got a testicular volume of about 120 ml combined as well, which fluctuates slightly with diet, exercise, and supplementation. I'll upload to my gallery eventually, I'm just shy about posting pics on the Internet. I don't know how to edit my sig either, so I'll put my stats there once I figure it out.

I own a Bathmate Hydroextreme size 9 and I've ordered a RestoreXL for personal use. I plan to start a conditioning routine of basic jelqs and stretches while in my sauna alongside beginner extender work and pumping twice a day (which is what I used to do).

When talking to the LLM, it said that it was a common misconception that if you have more to work with, the more you'll gain, as when you're longer you have less tension to work against. It also said I could gain 1.5" max optimistically.

How true is this, and what intensity of exercises would you recommend for someone starting at my size? What can I do to maximize gains, contrary to what the LLM had to say? I'll be lurking the forums for a while in my own time, so if this question has been answered, please cut me some slack.

I'm not here to stunt or fetishize anything. Please understand that I've had my own problems with my sexual wellbeing and I don't look down on anyone for wanting to be bigger, regardless of where they start. Thank you all in advance.

Updated my gallery. If there are requirements I am not fulfilling for posting pictures, I will upload different ones.

Starting size in my experience his little effect on ability to grow . Some have increased more than 1.5 inches but it is the exception . I would have the normal considerations the intensity . Most people start too intense to be honest .

A point here if you just want to build a conversation piece fine . If however you want to use it I would give some consideration of how big you want to get.

Many here would probably say "good problem to have". And many would probably also ask "why".

To each his own.

I'm not huge 7.25 x 5.25 but I do have to be careful with the missus, else it gets painful and that is the end of the fun for the night. Girls come in all shapes, sizes, and accommodations, but, personally I'd be wary of getting too big. Need to find the Goldilocks size. Good luck.
