Pleased to make your acquaintance

I've been lurking this site for more than 2 years. I discovered this site after I found out about the major extender study. Years ago, in my early 20s I went through a major bout of depression over the size of my equipment. I ultimately did the "adult", "healthy" thing and simply accepted my average size as I figured "well, you're just stuck with it. best hope, just find a woman you're sexually compatible with, master your oral skills, and positions and always be a good man to her." Mature, noble, intelligent sentiments. I took that thinking with me for a while, even though I still always felt somewhat inadequate. Fast forward to approx. 2-3 years ago. I have a job that a the time, had plenty of down time. I would even say I was getting paid to play with my smart phone, lol. One of my favorite sites is livescience.com. I would read articles randomly and incessantly. I came across one that dealt with surprising sex facts - a slide show article. One of the slides triggered a complete and total revolution in my thinking. "Penis extenders might work." It talked about the research, and even provided links to the experiments and the source material. I didn't initially put too much stock into it. So I started cross checking the idea of penis extenders. Google was my friend. I saw forums such as betterman, thunders place, MOS, but pegym showed itself to be the most professional supportive, balanced site. I hadn't done anything until recently because I wanted to buy an extender. I still don't have one, as my money is funny, lol. I'm going to go manual until I have the money to buy an extender and bathmate. My recently started regimen, 2 weeks in has been: (while in a hot bathtub) two sets of stretches, two sets of 75 jelqs, and edge for a few min. As I improve my conditioning, I'm going to add to my routine, and when I can afford to I'm going to buy an extender and bathmate. I haven't gained a thing yet, but the very idea of PE gives me a new leash(usage?) on life. I feel like I have a new level of control over my existence, and it's not just this case of playing with the cards I was dealt

And if you haven't already done so, please read the START HERE thread and focus on safety.

When done correctly, PE will greatly improve your penile health and increase your EQ, in addition to size gains, but you need to be consistent, patient and persistent, please do as much research as you can, ask questions, follow safety and exercise instructions carefully and remember that PE is a long term process, don't rush it up.

Starting a journal in the progress forum is a good idea, to track your progress and get feedback, also for motivation!

I recommend you first condition your penis by following a beginner's manual routine for at least 90 days or until you stop gaining - whichever comes last. Most members here start with JP90, and gain fine from it, being an intense beginner's routine, you may want to consider starting slow and gradually increase workload!

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 aboard!

Many of us lurked around here for a bit before joining, glad you decided to take the plunge.
Be sure to research devices thoroughly before buying (there is some really great stuff out there, as well as some really worthless junk. The devices forum is your friend!)

Good luck

Thanks Don Jelqer, I appreciate that character such as yourself took the time to comment on my intro post. You're one of the figures of the PE movement that inspired me as you've leveled up. I recall reading about your experience with extending vs hanging and the year you had in 2013. I hope I have a year of gains like that. If I do, I emulate the chart you made tracking your gains

Welcome Sincere_effort.

You may find that a good manual routine provides everything you need, at least for a good long while. Exhausting the free method first has been the choice of many, and allows some good time to research and save for the device you choose.

Good luck, and stay safe.
