HI Friends

**fireman91** · 04-30-2015

A little about myself: I am 23 turning 24 later this year. My fiance and I had been dating for about 4 years and will be getting married in August 2015!

I've been interested in PE for about 7 years now. About 6 years ago I decided to give it a try. I had a decent routine that consisted of basic stretching, jelqing, and extender use but I quit after 6 months because of my lack of motivation and patience. Long story short I decided to start back up and make it a lifetime commitment! I've explained to my fiance my desire to add PE into my overall healthy lifestyle and she has been very supportive.

My current measurements are 6.5" NBPEL and 5" MEG, respectively. My ultimate (tentative goal) is to reach 9" NBPEL and 7" MEG. I say tentative because I may reach 7.5"-8" NBPE/6" MEG and be perfectly satisfied.

My routine is,

Warm-up: 10 mins
5 way stretching: 1 min each way x3
Jelqing: 10 mins 3 sec reps
Edging: 10 mins
Warm-down: 5 mins

I do this on a 5 days on 2 days off schedule and I'm very gentle with all exercises.

I plan to add in hydro pumping with the Bathmate Hydromax 40x in about a month. Do any of you have experience with any Bathmate pumps?

Well thanks for reading my introductory post! Feel free to say hi and give any feedback!

Welcome! And, unfortunately, i don't have any experience with pumps, so i can't help you there. But good luck and take it slow and be safe! Also, it may be beneficial to take bpel measurements as well to track progress, because nbpel measurements tend to be more variable day by day, so if you solely rely on them, it may be harder to tell if your routine is effective.

Welcome aboard!

Your routine looks good to start off with, keep up the good work. Your goals are a bit hefty, I would suggest starting off with smaller goals to help you stay motivated. I don't want to try and discourage you, but gaining 2 inches in girth is highly unlikely.

A good place to start is to do some reading in the START HERE! link that can be found at the top of the page.

There is a lot to learn, so use your time to further educate yourself. There is a wealth of information here, do plenty of reading and don't hesitate to ask questions.

The key to being successful is to be dedicated, consistent and patient. PE does work, but it won't happen overnight. The rewards for putting in the time and effort are well worth it in the end.

Good luck and always PE safely.

Welcome Fireman, and thanks for joining us. Both have given you great advice. I have never used the BathMate pump but I have pumped for years and love it. Your goals are aggressive and if you are easily discouraged then maybe target that 7 inch range first. I go for the goal that seems impossible to reach method so I never have to feel like I should stop PE. Whatever works best to keep you in the game. PE is a long term proposition and creating the right min set is important. Be safe, consistent, persistent, and patient and you will reach your goals. Yes BPEL is more consistent, and is your usable length during sex.
