30 Day Challenge - Round Two Results

In the last 30 days I've gained 1/8+ of an inch!

I'll be honest and say that a part of me was hoping that I'd continue the monthly 1/4" trend I've been experiencing, but the truth is I've gained an eight of an inch and I'm happy. Truthfully, I'm surprised I gained anything at all as I can't imagine this trend can sustain itself.

When I first started researching PE in the spring, I read as much as I could. The routine I use is based on what seemed to be consistent factors for success. Guys were trying all sorts of routines on very different schedules but all seemed to have similar results. Everyone seemed to be able to gain an inch in less than a year. Granted, there were guys that gained much less, and guys who gained more, but there were factors that contributed to that.

They guys who gained less than an inch or gained nothing, got frustrated easily (or so it seemed) and were really inconsistent with their routines. The guys who gained more (lifetime forum members who have increased themselves 2 or more inches) dedicated hours a day to their cause, and use extreme weight stretching techniques.

I've been very consistent, I use a routine that is smart and takes less than 4 minutes a day, and I've gained almost an inch in seven months. I would not be surprised to find that I have peaked and any additional gains will come with extreme stretching techniques, which I have no interest in doing.

I will go another 30 days, and I'm going modifiy my routine a little bit to reduce the intensity (give my dick a rest).

The routine we be as follows:

• 20 jelqs
• Between-the-legs downward stretch* 60 seconds
• V stretch: 60 seconds
• Between-the-legs downward stretch* 60 seconds

Hung

Hung. Not a word I'm used to hearing, but the other day I actually heard it. I was innocently changing while my wife was reading and she looks over at me

"You're well hung..."
"What?"
"You actually have a big cock. You're really well hung. I hope you don't worry about your dick; you look great!"

This really caught me off guard. There was no way she was being honest with me - that or she was just being kind - but I know my body, and I'm not 'well hung'.

"Go take a look in the mirror... You look great!" 

I took a peek in the mirror, and I have to admit, I looked good.

"Do you think it looks different?"
"Totally... Must be because you've lost weight... Just thought I'd mention it... Love you."

As mentioned here, I'm a total grower (not a shower) and have locker room anxiety, but my according to my wife (and by my own admission) this day I looked bigger than I thought I was.

It dawned on me that I haven't really been fair about my flaccid state. I'm actually pretty average, but I get hung up on 'cold days'. That's not to say I haven't changed - I have! I'm positive things are bigger. I've gained some length over the last 6 months and it shows. Secondly, I stopped wearing brief-style underwear months ago. I found that briefs tended to really compress things so I was always 'crushed'. Since the underwear change, I am a lot fuller in my flaccid state, and tend to move quite a bit more, which means extra circulation and a bigger bulge. Thirdly, and this was a comment my wife made, it could be that I'm more confident, so my dick wants to hang out. She reasoned that when you're nervous or scared a man's dick tends to shrivel up. So, it seems reasonable to assume that being confident could do the opposite.

Either way, I'm happy!

A really great video... Think about it...

Searching for the Average Penis

In the past month this blog has gotten much more popular - we now see a few hundred unique visitors a day! 99% of the incoming traffic is from Google search, and 95% of the search terms refer to 'average penis' or 'average penis pictures'. It seems there is a lot of people interested in finding out just how big, or small, the average penis is!

I decided to search for 'average penis' as well and found that most of the search results were returned from sites that were selling penis enlargement products - pumps, pills and other assorted goods. (No surprise there) The other thing I found was that many of the penis enlargement sites seemed to have a altered the numbers - their 'average' seemed 'above average'. I've included some charts below:

The information I've been using for this site comes from the Lifestyles Condom study, as well as data from the Journal of Urology, the International Journal of Impotence Research as well as other assorted sources. Although the numbers to vary from study to study, the bottom line is that average penis size is about 5.7". (Read more about average penis sizes and distribution of sizes) What my searches also revealed was that almost all the sites that talked about the average penis (which coincidentally also sold enlargement products) seemed to have numbers that were much higher than any of the studies. According to these sites, the average penis was between 6.5" and 7" long, and a 7" penis is far more common than a 5.5" penis.

Don't believe it.

If you have a 5"-6" penis, and you discover that you are only 1" below the overwhelming average (as reported by penis enlargement sites), might you be inclined to spend $100-$300 to gain a 'mere' inch? Particularly when you've been promised 3" gains? Even the worst results will give you an extra inch and you'll finally be 'average'. Would you spend the money? Perhaps - but why? Because some site fed your insecurity and confirmed that you are 'small'? There is money to be made making you think you don't measure up. Think about it...

30 Day Challenge - Round Two

The last 30 days went really well! The routine was dead-easy to follow, only took a few minutes to complete, and yielded great results. As noted, I'm a still a little skeptical as I've been losing weight the entire time I've being doing PE.

So, I'm going to do another 30 days of PE. I'm switching my routine a little just to add variety, but the entire thing takes less that 4 minutes per session.

The routine is as follows:

• V stretch: 60 seconds
• Between-the-legs downward stretch* 60 seconds
• V stretch: 60 seconds
• 20 jelqs

*Between-the-legs downward stretch: Just like the under-the-leg stretch, you grab you penis reaching around the back of your leg, but rather than pulling down against the back of your leg, you pull straight back, close you legs and stand up straight. You'll find that you can arch you back and really increase the intensity of the stretch, but not lose grip.

Why I'm Still A Skeptic

In the last 6 months I've gained 3/4" on length, and a little more than 1/4" in girth. That's roughly an 1/8" per month, which seems totally reasonable for growth. I've maintained a fairly consistent routine, based on the best information I could find, and the results 'prove' that PE (penis exercise) works.

However...

The other thing I've been doing over the past six months is getting healthy. I've been hitting the gym and I've lost about 30+ lbs in the last 6 months. I'm looking great, and feeling great. So, it stands to reason that all of my gains have been because of weight loss. I have read that some medical professionals believe that for every 35lbs of weight lost, you gain an inch of visible penis. I've lost 30 lbs and have gained 3/4" - seems like they might be right! My hard-on looks much more impressive, and despite my grumblings, I look much better flaccid than I did before - both likely because I've lost weight.

However...

I made a point from the very beginning of this experiment to make sure I used the bone-pressed measuring technique when tracking my progress. I can tell you that I have certainly not lost a 3/4" slab of fat that has been sitting atop my pubic bone obstructing the ruler. So, does PE work, or was weight loss the key?

At this point, the only way to tell is to continue with my PE experiment. Either way, I've made gains, and I'm happy, but I can't say for sure that it's because of what I've 'gained', or what I've 'lost'.

30 Day Challenge - the results are in!

In 30 days I've gained a 1/4 inch! I'm now 6.5 inches! I can't believe it!

No seriously, I really can't believe it! I wasn't expecting any change, so to gain a full 1/4" is pretty unbelievable!

One of the things I've noticed is that it's really easy for my erection to fluctuate 1/4"-1/2" based on mood - there is a big difference between a boner, and a BONER! Each time I've measured I've made sure I'm in the mood to do so, as I've casually measured in the past and found that I'm smaller. As well, there is a difference between bone-pressed measurement, and non-bone-pressed measurements (as discussed here). The thing is, the bone-pressed measurements aren't really a functional measurements, they're a benchmark. So you sexual partner is never going to experience your 'full love potential', just part of it.

Functionally, I now measure 6 inches - easily, which is also a confidence boost. I don't have a 6 inch penis in certain conditions, I have a 6 inch penis at all time, and more if you measure correctly.

I think I'm going to do another 30 days and see what happens!
