I’ve toyed with PE off and on the past, I dunno, 15 years, with minimal results. I’ve had cheap extenders, weights for hanging, pumps, the leg strap thing. In December 2023 I decided to take it more seriously and attempt to match study conditions (ie, 2-5 hours a day for 6 months at somewhere between 500-1200 mg of tension). The tension is measured simply the first section of the spring section.
I dunno my measurements from 15 years ago, but in December I measured at 6.5" NBPEL and 7.125" BPEL. I’m 5.75" EG, not really concerned with changing that much. At the same time I’ve gotten more resilient about going to the gym 3x a week. I really haven’t lost any weight (started at 208, probably 207 now. Muscle added, fat lost).
In January, after about 87 hours of extending with a my cheap extender and a little pumping and jelqing a couple times a week, I APPEAR to be adding 1/16" about every 2 weeks, so 1/8" every 4 weeks (3 mm). This seems to line up with the 6-month studies which found 1.3-1.8 cm/0.75" for participants wearing the device for up to 5 hours a day.
I typically wear it for 30-50 min at a time until the ache simply becomes too much or the head starts getting numb/purple. Then I’ll take it off, apply heat, stretch until normal again then reapply.
Seems to be working for me. I’m 48 BTW. Measured this morning and it is 6 11/16" NBPEL and 7 5/8" BPEL. I’ll keep it up till the summer and see how it goes.
Start of serious PE (2/7/21): NBPEL 6.25", MSEG 5.75"
(4/4/21): NBPEL 6.5", MESG 5.8"
PE methods: Extender, hanging, jelq, clamping, pumping
