Hey FMGF,
Actually all of my early work was stuff I came up with on my own.
My Pe expereince is like this:
I was deeply in love with a woman. Ex wife actually. One night she told me "the thicker ones feel better". Well I never told her anything like that because I am pretty happy to have the person I am with, personality, body etc. The whole package. I had gotten a pretty good self image over the years with what I had. Average but functional. What she said to me was like a guy telling a girl she looks fat.
I got kind of spun out of control over that. She said other things during our relationship that pretty much destroyed my self image. Like we'd be sitting in bed after sex and she'd blurt out some story about some guy with a huge cock she'd fucked. I think she thought it would turn me on or something, since her ex BF was into hearing shit like that. Of course I just freaked. It wasn't the cause of our break up, but it sort of ruined my sexlife. Everytime I fucked her I just felt second rate. I would think about one of these other guys ripping her up. She probably wasn't aware how much damage she had done either since she was much younger than me, but the damage was done.
She did say one thing to me one day, "your penis looks bigger than it is". that sat in the back of my mind for a year or two. Later I was reading about penis extension surgery and how they cut the suspensory ligaments to free up length. Well that sat in the back of my mind for a bit. I had been doing yoga and was amazed at how much my body was changing from it and somehow that clicked with the previous two bits of info and I realized maybe I could stretch my suspensory ligaments over time and gain some length. I was strapped pretty high with a fairly high pointing cock.
I tried hanging and it seemed to just give me a little wick of a dick. I had no clue what I was doing. I was using a freaking shoe lace to hang with. Ouch! I was worried I might injure myself permanently so I stopped.
Then it dawned on me how to stretch my ligs by pulling the shaft of my cock down, gripping below where the ligs connected to it. I did that without knowing anyone else out there was doing Penis Enlargement. I even had a blog where I would list my progress and give advice to anyone who was interested, but no one ever found my blog. ha ha. It was a good record of progress for me though. I would go back and re-read my posts and see how I was progressing. Eventually I deleted it out of embarrassment. I started thinking I was kind of looped for even doing this shit. The thing is, it was working. I was gaining length. I could see 1/8th inch changes in my cock.
My ex and I hadn't been sleeping together. She'd moved out. Every few weeks we'd get together for the half hearted oral session since she wasn't using brth control anymore. After I started my Pe I wasn't sleeping with her for at least a month. So when I got together with her for the second to last time I bent her over and did her doggy style really brutally. Afterwards she had this confused look on her face like she didn't know what had just happened. She said, "Gee that's weird. You were going into me really deep. Maybe it's because I'm on my period." I didn't tell her the real reason. I had gone from 6" to 6.5 or so and I really was hitting it pretty deep. since I was pounding her with all my might and really turned on, I may have even been able to bone press an axtra .25. It felt pretty good. I felt the difference too. It was amazing.
Then, maybe a month or more later, when we got together for the last time she finished me off with her mouth. As she sucked me off she paused and I watched her do the baseball bat, hand over hand trick. One hand wrapped around the base and the other on top of it. Only now there was a cock head and some shaft still sticking out the top. She had this incredulous look on her face, but she didn't say anything. She just sat there looking at it like she'd never seen a cock before. I knew she could tell she was sucking a bigger cock but she didn't know how that could have happened. I swear she sat still for half a minute trying to work it out in her head with a stupified look on her face. She never asked and I never told her, but I felt vindicated.
So back to my routine. I was just stretching my ligs before I came here along with a little jelqing but no real knowledge about how to and how long to jelq. I think because of how my cock was strapped I was able to free a lot of cock with the lig stretches. I did gain about 1.5 to almost 1.75 from that. But I could tell I was at the limit on gains from doing the ligs.
Then I found this place. Once I got here I read everything I could. Talked to everyone who would listen and really liked the energy here. Everyone here is really psyched to share info and when someone posts gains everyone cheers in support. It changed my attitude.
I decided to change my routine based on DLD's experience and I'm getting results. From what I hear about guys who work out, they change up their routines. Maybe I'm getting a new batch of newbie gains because i'm doing something completely different. I also read the long thread DLD put up about taking breaks from Penis Enlargement. I really believe that DLD knows what he's talking about with that. I hadn't been doing much work out for a while so now that i'm back at it, things are growing.
I'd say to you to just keep working on it for at least a year. Don't get yourself down if you miss some sessions. Just have a good attitude. Once you get a .5" gain your going to notice how much deeper your penetration is. Sometimes you measure and it almost seems like you've lost some gains. Just keep going. Or take a break, but come back to it even stronger. I don't see why you can't gain 2". I did. Lots of guys on here have. It just takes time. Everyone is different.
I don't mean to sound like some expert either. I am learning all kinds of things from this site. I wouldn't have gotten to my long term goal without everyones posts on here. I was at a dead stop on gains before coming here. I'm honestly in shock. I can't really believe it. Yet the ruler, or in my case, an 8" shim doesn't lie. I had even given up on hitting that 8" mark before coming here.
I have no doubt you'll reach your goal over time.
