Dear PEGym colleagues,

Edit: I only said this at the end of my post, but it will not be a coherent story.
2nd edit: I am not a native English speaking person, please forgive me any metalingual errors.

As my title might implie; for some time now I have been fed up with the way things are going for me now. It is not just about penis size, because that isn't bothering me as much (i'll come back to that later) but rather about everything that revolves around the penile area.

Let us start at the beginning of my story, which is basically my life.

AT an early age I had discoverd porn, on sattelite television. In those early ages I couldn't even cum, because that's just not what young people do/can. However, one of the first things i've encounterd was what I called 'some Fine Itch' (later on I presume this to be 'having an orgasm for youngsters'). It is not until I saw some guy in a porno jack his dick off that I thought: "what is this guy doing"? And, of course, started doing it myself. During that time, as most of you probably have done, I jacked myself every change I could get. This went on and on for some time, without having someone to have sex with.

Also, not a minor sidenote, I have smoked weed since I was about 14/15 years old until the age of 22 when I realised this wasn't getting me any further. Because of this addiction, and some other reasons that don't really need emphasize right now, I develop a quite severe depression. I believe that I had this depression for about 3 years until I finally got me some professional help. My doctor sent me to a psychologist, but when that wouldn't help me he sent me to a specialised addiction psychologist. While this did tremendously well for my entire wellbeing I still did not felt the way I thought I should feel. She, also specialised in ADHD, sent me to a psychiatrist and after some months (and intensive testing) I got diagnosed with ADD. All said and done, I kind of felt relieved because now my previous (i.e. almost entire life) had gotten a "solution" to a bunch of my problems. Which included; not having the feeling to fit in, not being intellectually stimulated, not being able to relate to someones feelings and in general also having the feeling to be the one to be left out.

Before the time that I eventually went to see my GP, I went studying again in a very nice city. One, in which I had lived before but wasn't able to see to myself and eventually went up quitting my studies. However, since I also sought some minor help with quitting smoking weed over there and went back to the gym, I felt on the top of the world and got the feeling that I was in the right place again.
This was also the time that I met my (now ex-) girlfriend). And here the story actually begins.

Because the environment we dipped ourselves into were quite different from those we had left behind when we still had been living with our parents, it had an tremendous impact on both our psyche. We did not knew each other, although we came from the same village. Anyways, we both ended up joining the same association and got to know eachother during pledging for it.
Int he time that followed, we got to know eachother intemately. As I have described above, I never had not having a full on erection during masturbation. But this happened during our first sexual encounter. Nothing bad, she was more experienced than I was, and it would go better the next time. It kind of did, but not really. Next time, it was the same story all over again.
After a while I began questioning myself about my ability to perform the actual deed with someone of the other sexe. Although she constantly reassured me that everything was fine, I still had the feeling that I was inadequate for her.
I must say that at times there were no problems at all. Like I like to say "everything worked as it should work with a 22 year old guy". But most of the time I would only grow to a semi-hard penis, which then took its toll on my mind again and giving me that feeling of inadequacy.
This went on for 2.5 years, and then we broke up. I stress that this was, well maybe but not entirely, not because of my proclaimed 'malfunction' down below, but rather a conjunction of events and feelings.

After we broke up, I had sex with 6/7 girls, mostly one or multiple night stands. For the one night stands, I could easily make up a story that I had drunk too much to get it up. For the multiple night stands it got harder and harder to make up a story, and eventually had to tell them the real story that my dick just wouldn't work at times. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't, no matter how horny I was I just kept on thinking 'Hopefully it is going to get hard right now'.
I do realise that this is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy, but that is hard for me get out of my mind.

Like I said before, my goal here isn't to reach a 22 cm penis with a 8 cm circumference. Anything but that. If anything, my penis as it is now (approx. 16 - 17 cm depending on how my state of mind and body is) is also just fine for me. Of course, I wouldn't be a man if I wouldn't think a centimeter or two wouldn't be awesome.

It is just that I cannot seem to work out which path I need to choose to get over all the things that I have 'seen' in my life, and to get in harmony with my mind.

To round things up, here are some facts about me;

- I have motivation issues
- I have a gym membership but hardly go (see1)
- I still have the feeling of inadequacy
- I have tried the JP 90 days routine but flunked out (see 1, even though I felt progression after 1 week)
- I smoke roughly 1/2 pack a day, maybe more
- I drink roughly about 25/30 beers a week (depending on which events take place with my fraternity*)
- I also have the feeling that I cannot talk to anyone about this, except for my psychotherapist (she isn't exacly a sexuologist, but still very understanding and also knows how my mind works)
- I also jerk off mostly daily

Thus, the main reason I am on this forum is to get to know people whom may have experienced the same and to get to know how to fight these symptoms. And thus, how not to have a (semi)-flaccid penis when I want to have sex.

I am sorry for this not very coherent story of my life, and I am a little buzzed at the moment, but this is what I wanted to share with you while introducing myself.

* fraternity: As you all probably know, there is a big cocky-like atmosphere within such a group, and also towards people not in it. Therefore, as said above somewhere, it is very hard for a person like me to talk openly about my matters.

Thank you if you have made through this sentence!

Pick one of the manual beginner routines and follow it for at least 90 days to condition your penis, or until you stop gaining. Most members here choose JP90, it is an intense routine, start slow, and build up to the full routine over a few weeks time, jelq with an erection level between 45% and 65% using a moderate grip, just enough to move blood up the shaft and to the glans. :)



Pay attention to your PIs, your penis is trying to tell you if you are over working, or you are in the growth zone, aim for positive PIs, and steer away from the negative ones.

Welcome Superdutch. I understood your story very well. I think you should consider several things to help yourself out.
Stop watching pornography.
Stop masturbating and instead edge also without pornography.
Look in the Start Here button on top and pick a beginners routine like JP90 and begin slowly to train your penis away from porn and toward health.
Good luck thanks for joining us.

Thanks wishful10x8,


I have some, though they are rare, off weeks for not watching porn; then it does get better. Although it is hard to restrain myself from watching pornography while being and living on my own. Nevertheless, when posting my 1st message, I devoted myself not to watch porn for at least a week.
As I have read somewhere 'Do not jerk off for a week if you want to get laid, and if you didn't, be sure to make it count'. And that's what I want to accomplish, among others.

I do have to read into the matter further describing the mental issues accompanying someone for getting here.

Thank you for your response!

Dialectic Behavior Therapy is indeed a good place to start.

Welcome Superdutch. Nice to meet you, and glad to have you with us. No worries, your English is just fine. :)

A couple things to consider that may or may not be applicable. If medications for both the ADD and depression were prescribed, depending on the type, they can have an effect on not only the libido, but cause erectile problems. The chemicals in the medication that help with the original issues, can actually cause the secondary ones.

ADD/ADHD can cause some to fall into two areas. Hypo-sexuality, with disinterest due to the common challenges of distraction and concentration.

Or, hyper-sexuality, due to the calming after effects and need for stimulation. This may lead to frequent masturbation, and habitual porn use. Which can also cause erectile issues over time.

Which, having the concerns of ED, and a very active mind, likely increases the issue with anxiety and worry. Kind of a progressive effect.

So, if both of those apply, then it may be helpful to talk to your doctor about the meds, and try and reduce masturbation (complete removal is not advised either) and eliminate porn.

PE can and will help with erection quality. Replacing masturbation with edging most times is a good alternative. And, you may find with better EQ that you already have those few centimeters you are going for. :thumb:

Of course, if you have any questions, or don't understand something, the great members here are always happy to help. Don't hesitate to jump right in and get involved. Feel free to ask here, start a thread, or start a log in our Progress Forum.


Best of luck to you. Stay safe, and patient.

Thanks for your responses.

At the moment I amnot taking any anti-depressants, and haven't been on them since about a year +. The psychiatrist said that my depression was most likely (among a few other things of course) the result of having ADD and not having the proper guidance for it which caused me to have this feeling of inadequacy and generally not feeling very happy.

I found your reasoning about the medication actually very insightful, and I will be sure to check it out! Next to that, I am also going to adress this with my counsellor (whom I saw for weed addiction at first, but turned out to be a Addiction Docter with a specialisation in ADHD).

Okay, I think I will start a Progress Log for myself (and all of those interested of course). Had done it before for something else and it helped me tremendously.

Hey Friends,

I'm sorry I just went away like that, I figured during the last few weeks i'm not too good at keeping up with forums - I have experienced it before when I joined a (you may laugh) a shroom-growing forum. Although I kept up with that forum, I feel I have not done so with this one and thus, in a way, might have 'failed' the community by dropping out like I did.

Sorry Fellows - and this is sincere.

I do, however, want to let you know that I have recently taken up where I have left off; I am doing the training, be it somewhat modified to what I believe would be better for me.

So, here is how I've spent my last days (weeks):

I am currently unemployed, sucks I know, but I have a great idea that will ultimately (hopefully) will help a lot of people like us (or me) to prevent going the same path that I went - but that is a whole other story ;) (feel free to ask though, I feel a lot of you could give me a bunch of motivation but also would be extremely value to the prospected outcome - but i'll find another subforum for that).

What I am doing right now:

I noticed my dick has, when erect, the tendency to twirl left and up. So I found out that, because of particularly oneside ligament my dick is not straight. Now, this is not indeed a problem but I believe it could be the root of my solutions - and if so; the beginning of my training.

Therefore; I began to massage my left (from above) ligament while stretching my flaccid penis. Now, as I said I don't have too much to do right now, I usually do this extensively while watching series and I would use either massage-oil or the good old Nivea Body Cream to do it.
By the way, to loosen my ligaments, loose areolar tissue, Corpora cavernosa, corpus spongium (and many other fancy Google-words), that basicaly comprise either the base or my whole shaft, I have turned to the usage of a self-developed beanbag. Which is, in essence; two socks filled with 500g of uncooked rice that I can heat and reheat whenever I like. I use this bag to 1. prewarm the abovementioned sections of my penis and 2. to cooldown the abovementioned sections of my penis.

When done massaging my ligaments, I presume to the start of the JonPop 90 day routine - which I follow quite good.
I must say quite good, because I don't do precisely as it says but I might be doing more (wet) jelqs or less (wet) jelqs. It is just that I am doing them in a proper manner, with attention to detail (detail = to the stroke), as well as with attention to what I believe my penis can handle.

Again, I am sorry for not posting anything sooner and this might not even be the right place to post it (I said earlier to begin my own progress topic):

I am doing my best to enhance my dick.
If you read my earlier posts; I'm not doing this because I want an 10" dick (Like Danny D); I just want to enhance my hardness and virtually eradicate my emotional ED.

I has helped by the way: Not watching porn, jacking off, etc, actually got my penis hard and I could hold it longer with my last sexual encounter. :)

ps. sorry for a maybe messed up post - grammatical or otherwise (i'm buzzed).
