I am inspired when I go to fitness forums and see before and after pictures.

Thunders apparently has them but I cannot join. (This has to be the dumbest thing ever ... forum is full?)

Anyways ... why are there no pictures around here? If there are can you please direct me to them?

If you go to the Progress Log subforum, look for the threads that have a paper clip icon next to them. That usually means that there are pictures to be seen in the thread.

It takes a bit of exhibitionism and courage to attach pictures to a post, however. Not everyone is willing to let the world see their efforts in PE.

The consensus amongst several of us here is that, in the end, all that's gonna matter is your own "before & after". I personally find no point in looking @ other guy's "before & after" pics, be it of physique transformation or PE gains. We all gain differently, based on our own genetic make up. Take the UFC for example and compare two guys like Georges Saint-Pierre and Karo Parysian, both welterweights. Say a guy out there who's really out of shape and decides to take charge of his physical health and happens to have a similar genetic make up as Karo Parisyan. The guy starts doing all the right things in terms of diet, exercise, etc., and is doing really good with tons of solid, visibly consistent progress....only that he chose a pic of Saint-Pierre to identify his "ultimate goal". There's a big chance that this guy will spend many years in frustration as he tries to attain what will utimately prove unattainable, when in fact he could very well be cherishing the triumph of attaining his very own, individual version of a super-fit body.

In some cases, images will elicit accusations of fakery or tricks of light/angles. There are members that would rather not deal with that. There's also the privacy issue. A lot of men just don't want pictures of their most private parts making their way onto the net.

I think that that example only applies to someone wanting to do PE so they can have a penis that looks like it belongs to John Holmes, and not to the person who just wants to know whether or not PE is possible. You know that PE works so you don't have to look at B&A pictures, but pretend for a minute that you've gone back to knowing nothing about PE. For years scam artists tell you that you can enlarge your member with surgery and pills and many other costly products. The only proof these scams have come from testimonials by "people" whose writing style all look the same. The pictures they provide look photoshopped, and there's an image of a doctor crossing his or her arms (there's always a picture of a doctor crossing his or her arms) somewhere on the website telling you that that product works. You get frustrated when you realize they're all a hoax.

Then imagine you come across a site that tells you you can go through penis enlargement for free just by stretching and milking your shaft a few times a week. The people are claiming they are making gains, but they could be trying to fool you just like those scam artists. If they provide visible undoctored evidence which shows that PE does indeed work, that could be enough motivation for the skeptic to try out natural PE. It's common knowledge that anyone can get in shape and sculpt their body since there's way too much proof, but PE is a topic that's laughed at because of lack of evidence and the scams overwhelming the unbelievers.

I used to wonder the same thing, but now instead of worrying about others before and after pics; i just focus on getting mines.

Who gives a crap about other guys pictures? If you do the work, make the effort, the gains will come. If anyone needs "Proof" that PE works, than I say, go find something else to do. You are only doing this for yourself, not to show off in some damn PE forum. Gheeesssh!

Wow I seem to have struck some kind of nerve huh? I apologize for causing anyone angst or umbrage

I'm not looking for proof. I don't want something to model after. I am just inspired by the success of others.

No nerves struck whatsoever so there's no need for apologies, buddy; you posted a question and we're simply giving you our thoughts on it. I've seen this subject discussed here before and it seems like posting pics is not something that many members in this particular forum are interested in. However, if you wanna start your own progress thread and include a photo journal of your path in PE, then feel free to do so.

i agree...why arent there more pictures....makes me wonder how much of this is fantasy.
