Ah yes, this thread!

I don't know how much of a story there is to tell on my behalf. Let't see ...

I seem to have joined up by February 14th of 2012. Before that I was quite possibly a lurker, coming here now and then. Anyhow, I think around that time of 2012 I did get a Bathmate Hercules. I could check up on receipts to be certain.

I do remember my first session quite vividly, I did get a big doughnut and at the time it was cool! I didn't have much information about fluid retention, I was just amazed how big I got after a session.
This was also time before 5x5x3 routine, so usually I went 15 minutes straight, as guided in the manual.
But there were good threads about maximizing gains, Max_Richards might have been a brother who found out a good routine for himself and others might have followed. I do recall it was no 5x5x3, more so it was about 30 minutes of non-stop pumping, but likely with changing the pressure a bit.

Years have gone by, quite fast. I've had few stops along the way when I didn't do any PE. Sometimes it was the tools, sometimes the motivation. My original Hercules is long gone by now, I fixed it several times. After the Hercules my next step was Penomet and I did write fondly about it!
Overall, the unit was quite solid for me, although you can't do stretches with it due to the consruction. (The gaiters that can be changed.)

In all the years that have gone by, PE has been a lifestyle choice for me. It's not so much about "reaching some nice numbers", like it says in my profile, but more about having fun with sessions and at times noticing growth. I'm a sinner of not recording my process, as I've taken PE in a fun way.

And through the years, yes, I might have learned something and surely enough I've used several tools.
Nowadays I'm mainly hydropumping (usually it's my X30 Extreme, but at times I might use Penomet for the bigger cylinder) and clamping.

All in all; I've found MoS to be a certain home for me. And I'm glad if some of the information I have can help others in this world.

As a "last note"; Keep on gaining, Brothers! :cool:
 
Actually my experience or at least knowleadge of pe goes back a super long time. When was MoS first launched? If my memory serves me correct I heard about PE from a friend when I was like 15 yrs old so 10 years ago, I watched dld and watched the threads on here and I felt better about the concept of PE existing. I decided in my mind "if my penis doesnt grow more I will buy an extender and just add 2 inches" Luckily it did grow and I just forgot about pe altogether. Just last year I was having a harder time with my chronic fatigue than usual and I ended up just sitting at home for close to 1 year only occasionally working. I decided "Oh, I can at least make my penis bigger so this time isnt a total waste of time!" And so I became a member on Thndr Pl and started PE. Tried multiple times to register on MoS and now I'm so happy MoS is up and running again such a great community.
 
(y) Awesome responses brothers! I hope so many other come in and tell their story because it’s truly inspirational. Even to someone like me who is been here for so long these posts still bring the same joy they did when I was in my beginning times
 
This thread is a great read. We need to keep this thread going. Thank goodness for the bumps and the new entry.

My story is somewhat similar to others.

In my teen years I never used the open showers after the gym cause I didn’t want to compare myself to others/ let them see mine and compare. I was a short and thin individual ( still only 5’7 but I’m muscular and at a healthy weight / ideal compared to the charts)
Anyways, I felt I was small and didn’t think there was anything a guy could do about it.

First time having sex this chick gave amazing head, head a tongue piercing and all, but everytime she’d go to ride me, I’d go completely limp. If I had to guess my size back then I’d say 6” ish and just under 5” girth? Hard to say right.
Anyway we tried that a few times and then we called it a night. She was a good sport about everything, it was a fun night. I remember blasting Billy talent 1 and flying down the highway at like 1 am. She lived in a small town 30 mins away from where I lived. Good times.

Fast forward to my first serious gf, we dated for a couple months before having sex, when we did it slid right in, she was pretty wet but I mean I felt there should have been SOME resistance, after all the adult entertainment I watched growing up and throughout life. My second gf after her, sex was good, bottomed out, was some friction/ resistance. We had a kid, then things started going downhill. No, not the oOoOo so stretched out after a kid and such. That’s not really a thing, it’s goes back to basically normal. We got engaged, had our fights, found out she was cheating on me with a guy at work, 12 years older than her, never had my eye on him cause he was so much older and ugly. Anyway.. daughter was 2, didn’t know what would become of our family. I wanted to try and salvage the relationship.
Worked out 1-2 times a day, ate extremely healthy, found PE, I believe it was thund3rs, can’t remember my name on it lol. Literally dug into everything possible on how to be a better man. Did jelqs, stretches, helicopters, warm up, warm down. Saw a bit of a difference after a month, I believe my starting measurements was just under 7” for BPEL, and just under 5” for girth. Got up to 7-3/8” length and 5.25” girth if I remember correctly. She still left me anyway. Her mind was made up.

Slept with multiple women after that, first 2 after were loose af, one said I was the first one to make her cum, sure, whatever.
Next serious gf said and still says I was her biggest. Was a lot of fun.


Started dating my now wife Nov 28/2012, sex has always been great, but I always wanted more. Went on and off PE over the years but never really stuck with it. Still just the basic jelq and stretch routines from the old days.
Always felt insecure still even though there was no need to be.
Fast forward to Oct 1/2025, erections were weak, it felt thin in my hands during masterbation, would watch adult entertainment and masterbate daily if not more. Ruined myself. Had enough.
Stumbled upon matters of size. This was my turning point, I screenshot and made notes of everything I was reading. Applied everything the best I could and asked a few questions which I’m always scared to do. The people here give amazing responses.. detailed, supportive.
I’m a little over the 4 month mark and I measured myself this morning funny enough.
8” BPEL and 5.5” girth. Feels thicker some days / middle of the night. Have never gotten so hard so often during the night but that’s matters of size! For stretches I hang for 30 mins, 7 lbs atm, and pumping I do 10 on, SSJ and compressions squeezes, 10 more mins of pumping ( -5hg to -10hg max depending on how I’m responding to it ) then more SSJ and squeezes. I’m doing my best to listen to my body and gauging erection quality and daily hang to see which direction I should go.

That feels good to share.. I haven’t told anyone some of that stuff. Thanks, guys
 
May not want to hear this , but I got no one else to talk to really. Always thought I was less than everybody else even though I was a good 7 inches. I know better now. Tried this crap for a few months. Dabbled with pills. Didn’t really believe it. Still don’t. Decided to give it a more serious try. Thought I wasn’t doing it hard enough I guess. Literally that day was the end. Felt amazing the next day or 2. Woke up to what would be a complete decline and death of my dick. 2.5 years later, it’s pretty much the most horrible thing you can feel or see. Everyday. The end. I push on cause my family has a good life and I’ll do anything to support it till I kick over. But it killed me.
 
@notmeanymore you always have someone to talk to in the community. We're not here to shame you, nor discourage you. We're here to listen, offer advices, and try to diagnose to the best that we can. If professionals working in their fields cannot come up with immediate solutions, it doesn't mean there's no adaptive methods to use that go beyond the conventional means.

At the same time, everything we do has risks. You can eat really well and healthy, and suffer sudden strokes because a "healthy" and "approved" ingredients didn't agree with you one fine day. You can get to the gym and feel great working out daily, and suddenly, a dumbbell or a crossbar smashes onto you, ending your career as a gym rat. You can drive like a grandpa along the highway, feeling great with the wind brushing against your skin and cooling your stressed life, and it only takes one idiot to make a wrong move that causes you to do something to end your driving habit. But it doesn't mean you stop all of it. You simply have to find methods to circumvent it all, using orthodox and unorthodox approaches. Rather than reporting in negative outcomes, report in steps you've taken to overcome your plight.

Think about the brothers' posts above. Did one setback stop them from moving forward? Did fear, anger, or despair made them become an introvert and stop becoming sociable? Find ways to break through, and we'll offer every method that can be thought of. For every issue, there are more than hundreds of solutions you have to investigate and try. Don't just try a few and call it "done". Exhaust everything. In reality, your brain an body has adopted the repair method and is adapting to its "new normal". If you're not taking advantage of that and push it to adopt the "new normal", it will find different ways to adapt to the new normal that you may not like. You can still have sex, but limited for now. You can still feel the sensations, with discomfort because of triggered signals. Find way to suppress the triggered signal by keep tracing back to where the root is. It's not the glans. It's not the penile shaft. It's not the base of the penis. It fundamentally further up, past the pelvic floor, and even further up your spinal column. Think of all what we've discussed so far. As we have stated before and even now, we're not leaving any brothers behind. Work with us, communicate with us, move forward for a solution, and we'll stand side-by-side with you. If you keep bringing negative feedbacks, we can't suggest anything or console with you because you're practically giving up on yourself. It's a declaration you're giving up.
 
I’m far from giving up. Quite the opposite. That doesn’t stop me from hating everything. It takes everything I’ve got to keep working everyday when every single time I kegel ,I feel nothing. It’s hard to move forward,when there is no forward. It’s completely drained the life from it. I cannot fathom how it can still work at all,no matter how much it’s diminished. I’ve definitely adopted a new normal. Although it will never ever be comfortable . Ever. There’s something there wrong. But no matter how I stretch,or shove things up my butt, or work out,I can’t ever get past slight relief or flowing feeling deep inside. It’s always there to return. And no matter what I do or think, my glans IS messed up physically. It don’t look right. I’m stuck in between. And that’s worse than having all or nothing. Getting off always destressed me. Now I can’t. Unless it’s with the wife. And not very often. Not a very bright place to be. All I can do is try. I’m in the best shape I can be for the shape I’m in. I feel somehow there’s some way to break free in there,but I’ll be danged of how to get there. That’s a fact .

Eh. I’m kinda in the get through the day,every day phase. The entire structure of my penis and how it works is so completely jacked up ,it’s not even feasible or enjoyable to even touch anymore. I’m just waiting it out till whatever else happens happens. It’s so ungodly weird and wrong, I don’t even know how to explain what I even feel anymore. Imagine taking a piss, with the smallest your junk has ever ,ever been and when it’s about done, doing that last strong kegel stream to finish, except nothing happens, and you don’t feel a thing and piss just dribbles out everywhere. That’s the best part of my day now. Literally. Unless some magic happens ,and releases something inside that allows something to open up the sting in my butt area,and make my foot and leg not weird anymore, I’m probably stuck wearing the tightest underwear I can find, so I hobble through the day and do more excruciatingly painful work than any man should ever have to do.

If you ever have an arm, a leg, or part of your body that went through a major surgery, that part of the body is never the same again because of the major changes to the nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. I can tell you I have and still am experienced in the area of ungodly body damages. If I am to be compared to the majority of the brothers here, you can call me a multi-million dollars man from the amount of hardwares I have in my body and the extensive damages I've gone through my 5+ decades of life. So yes, I know how jacked up a body part can be, and those parts of my body can never be as enjoyable as they once were. That doesn't stop me from finding ways to restore and adapt to new ways of enjoyment. If you want to compare your sexual lusts and wants to do with your wife, I can match and outmatch you any day. But that's not the point where we want to be at. Where we want to be at is finding solutions to adopt and adapt through trials and errors.

If you have urinary incontinence, I can truly tell you that a damaged penile nerve is not the cause of it all. It goes far down to the pelvic floor. What happens at the glans or the base of the penis during a pump or a jelqing incident, it doesn't create a domino chain from the base of the penis to the sciatic nerve, unless bombs were already planted along the entire nerve branches. How do we know? We worked very closely with patients with similar symptoms, both from penile injuries (just look up clamping results), cancers, aging, and health issues. Your best part of your day is far more heavenly than their best part of their months.

If you truly want that magic shot, that can happen. Pelvic floor nerve decompression. Look into it. You may not like the idea of having needles stuck up your pelvic floor, with electrical charges zapping your butt, but the methods of nerve decompression have been used since ancient times in Asia and researched heavily in Western medicine now.

I was thinking if these exact things as the probable cause but knew you’d have a much better answer/ way of explaining it.
 
There’s one exact cause. Not a probable one. Being an idiot in a small window of weakness and stupidity.
K honestly enough of your shit. We’re here to build each other up, not tear every positive attempt down. Every comment I have made my entire time on this site, there you are, shitting on my parade. Fuck right off.
I’ll likely get in shit for this but I’m fed up. We’ve tried talking to you, asking questions, offering solutions, and you just shit on it. I get it’s hard what you’re going through but at least fucking try what we’re suggesting. We’re not stupid.
