Despite this being my first post here I started PE in 2014. Ever since then I've been unsure of my growth despite the pics I've taken along the way because I can never achieve 100% erection. I don't know if my initial gains are to be attributed to better EQ or actual lengthening. And so, whenever I want to measure BPEL, I can't get a reliable figure because I can't get fully erect. I can achieve dry orgasms so I don't think lack of power is the issue here.
Regarding my committment to PE I've been religiously practicing for one year (Apr 2014 to 2015) and all my gains (1cm BPEL or 0.4in for you imperial heathens, starting at 15cm/6in BPEL), due to better EQ or not, have taken place in the first three months of PE. After that, nothing.
As life obligations took their toll on my PE time, my faith began to waver due to insecurity with regards to my technique and perceived lack of progress, my committment to the cause also began to falter, starting a vicious circle of not gaining because not committed enough <-> not committed enough because not gaining. From Apr 2015 to Jul 2016 I practiced PE intermittently and I can understand that if even full commitment is sometimes not enough, lack of consistency won't get me anywhere either. That's entirely my fault.
Also during this period I developed a couple lumps under my foreskin close to the corona. The urologist simply stuck a needle in and sucked the crap away. So now they're much more spongy (they felt like marbles before) but they're still there. They never caused pain but they prompted me to take a step back on PE for a while.
Anyway, I took a long hiatus from Aug 2016 to Apr 2017 to sort my life out and finally came back to PE once again. As I always wonder if I'm doing these exercises right I looked for something that you couldn't do in a wrong way, especially in terms of devices. So I bought a [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]Phallosan[/words] and I've been wearing that since May 4, 6 days on, 1 off, plus bundled stretches every break or so. Well, questions arise again. Is the tension too low to see any gains? Should the glans be all the way inside the bell? Should I pump until all air is sucked out of the bell and the glans looks like a giant mushroom inside the bell? Is it normal that I don't feel a darn thing, not even a small stretch, and that my flaccid length stays more or less the same after one day's session? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
I know that PE is supposed to be a marathon, not a sprint. And I have my share of faults here in that I've been inconsistent for a long time. But this not knowing if you're heading in the right direction, coupled with the fact that I can't get a solid erection to measure if my life depended upon it, makes PE more like a marathon where you don't even know if you are actually running anywhere.
So there is my frustration. I don't know if I've ever gained and I can't find a way to properly know. Needed a post to vent out a bit and see if that helped. Any directions to head towards to are more than welcome.
For the record, I'm 27, fit, non-smoker, rarely drink.
And here's my PE history. Every routine starts from base reps then gradually moving up (X reps -> Y reps).
Finally, here's a visual representation of my not-so-commendable committment history:
