Yeah, you're right. I guess trial and error here is inevitable.
Oh I see. Well it doesn't appear that I have any problems in that department. But I'm glad you told me about that. So is this caused by too much intensity applied too soon?
It felt like it was just below the glans in the upper shaft area, which is where I felt it strongest, then it kinda went slightly lower than that, but the lower it went, the weaker the pain was (little to none at all). I'm sorry if I confused you. I was thinking of ache and pain to be the same thing (or at least in the same boat).
But this ache/pain didn't sting. It just felt like how a muscle would feel after working it out, e.g. kinda swollen feeling, achy, not necessarily a sharp sensation, but close. So I guess maybe it was just fatigue, but I wanted to be sure. Also, I think you missed my other question. I was wondering about girth. You said I should go .5 beyond my goals to help cement my gains, but did you mean that for both girth and length, or just length?
