First of all, welcome to the brotherhood.
Hi there! I've been following PE for some time but not done anything with it yet. Currently 23 years old. I haven't properly measured but my measurements are L: 5.5 G:4.5 and I'm aiming to get to L: 7.5 G: 6. I might go larger but if I'm to get married, don't want my cock to be too unwieldy plus, I'm 5ft 4 so it'll stand out too much XD.
For your measurement, you are in a beginner's golden zone for young mates you may be in a relationship with. But once you enter into a longer term of relationship, that girth may need a bit more umph for her excitement. I've been in your range when I started out with my girlfriend, now life partner, the girth will not last long. Maybe one year at best. This is based on my suggestion only, but start at 5in girth, with a 6in length at minimum. This is to cover all aspects of the longer term relationship if she's starting out new. But if she's a veteran in sexual kinkiness, 5.5in girth is the starting point, and 6.5in length is a bare minimum. To put my wife on a pedestal, she's a nympho when we met. She's still a nympho now 25 years later
A few questions to ask:
1) How permanent are the gains? I want to do this for a good number of years (up until I'm 28-30). Once I'm happy to get where I am, I do not want to do PE again
As DLD said, the gains are permanent. It's how hard to want to push along your PE, but I can guarantee you that all gains are permanent. Otherwise, we don't even start on such journey. However, be aware, PE journey is literally a life long journey. You may take a break somewhere along the way, but you will eventually start back up. My journey stopped for 10 years, and during that 10 years, I perform extremely light routines to upkeep the gains, as aging will cause it to shrink. Call it atrophy if you want. But along the way, you will return back to PE, just because it's for your penile health and not just about gains.
2) I'm still living at my parents house so I can only do manual stretching. It'll likely be a couple more years until I can get a home of my own. How far can I get with manual stretching in a period of 2-3 years and will they be permanent (providing I do it the right way)?
While being at your parents' place, the
SRT manual stretching will allow you to take on some gains. If you combine the
SRT programs with both manual stretches and manual girth expressive approaches, such as the
SSJ, you will definitely gain, but at a slower pace. The base
5x5x3 routine with a pump is much more beneficial due to the mechanical assist and manual expressive girth worth. These programs have been developed for over 2 decades to near perfection.
But, do know that if you do not maintain a discipline of carrying out your consistent routines, your gains will vary quite a bit over certain amount of time.
3) Are there any products I can buy whilst I'm at home (e.g. the penis sleeves) or do I best not risk it?
This is all based on your privacy level. If you can obtain 1 full hour, as DLD said, a
Length Master is perfect to get the gains you need at a shorter time interval. Extra sleeves such as the
SiliSleev #2, extra
TheraBand (I have over 50 feet of this thing for various uses), and flexible bandage like
Uncle Jim's Wrap. This is just for length. If you have a bit of extra time, around 30 minutes, you can tackle on the girth work with the system similar to the
MityVac. Don't deviate from it.
Bathmate is good, but you need to know your pressure at all time.
Just like everyone else before you, ask questions to the point of exhaustion until you reach a perfect understanding of PE, then move forward. This community will offer you everything you need to know, and there will not be any bashing or flaming of any kind. It's not allow, and we are all brothers helping each other out. Any and every questions will be met with an answer to the best of our knowledge.
