same here, When i was about 16, 17 years old I heard about jelqing for the very first time and found out about the bathmate, I thought it looked like an awesome device to have (it is) and I really wanted one, I didnt particularly need one but I really wanted it (what guy doesnt)but knew I couldn't get one because I lived with my aunt, but anyways I found out about this guy (it was DLD lol) and I was like man this guy knows a lot about this stuff that people don't even believe is true so I tried jelqing but didn't really think I was doing it right (I wasn't lol) and I definitely didn't practice it regularly or with the intensity or even duration needed, ten years later I found pegym I thought it was pretty cool, thought about joining, but after a few days of reading the forums, I decided to look for other forums that maybe I'd like better, I found this site and first thing I realized is the brotherhood thats going on here, people here seem to really care and want to help in many ways such as instruction, details, mentally, emotionally, sharing knowledge gained from experience. I knew this was the site I wanted to join. I saw on all posts DLD responding to everyone. I remembered him immediately and couldn't believe it was the same guy I'd seen so long ago. I thought he was cool in the past but seeing him here interacting and how he cares about this place is just awesome. I'm glad you created this place for us guys here DLD.
