Why did you stop PE?

Undoubtedly at one point or another each one of us has stopped. Either we have got too busy in life, discouraged or other various reasons. I have been doing PE for 5+ years, but have never gone more than 1 month without completely bombing and dropping out. It is my hope that this time I can stick with it (general stretching, SG 4+ hours per day, and some BM time).

I seemed to have dropped off for the following reasons:

1. Measure to early and get discouraged.
2. Doubt PE will ever work for me. I have heard to many stories of "It won't work." and then I buy into the BS.
3. Other guys are gaining and I won't.
4. Daily life (4 kids, run my own business, etc)
5. I should be happy with what I have. A lot of guys have stats smaller than mine, but I still cannot help but feel like the smallest in the room. I know a lot of guys would die to have what I have now, and I feel guilty and ungrateful for what I have.

I have been with the same woman for 10 years, I love her and am committed to her. When I PE (she does not know) I get a lot of compliments / remarks, so I know there is something. I am basically trying to look at all the "reasons" why we stop, and what we can do to overcome them. I think this would be a great motivator for anyone who is doubting. For me I convince myself that each week my penis has grown the size of the thickness of a piece of paper and after so long those pieces stack up. I am only looking to add 1" to my BPEL and I would be satisfied. It pisses me off to think how far I would have been if I had stayed on board for the last 5 years.

Please share why you stopped, and why you started again and what keeps you going.

The longest break was six months as far as i remember,but yeah i have been inconsistent evenso im 7" BPEL and growing gonna measure in march31st after two months of PE,just an advice if you dont have enough time just like D says be creative,everytime you take a shower,pocket pulls,pulling after taking a piss,maybe sacrificing things you enjoy to give time to PE....15 to 20 mins evryday can give you unexpected surprises...

I can relate to all reasons mentioned above. I have been doing on and off for almost 10 years, but for no longer periods than 2 consecutive months. I think The main reason for quitting beeing not seeing fast enough gains and also losing them as soon as i stop. Hoping i can grind it out long enough to see gains worth The time i have/will put in.

Thanks for sharing. I too have seen 1/4" gains and then stopped to see them disappear. I have been doing P90X3 everyday for 100 days now so I think I can stay committed to playing with my dick everyday .

So most of the people that have read this post have never stopped or taken a long term break from PE? Come on guys chime in.

I've stopped in the past because the work was something I dreaded and the gains had basically halted.

I stopped because I made the gains I wanted to make. I have started up since then for reasons of inventing new exercise and equipment.

In the past it was the drain of feeling uncomfortable wearing my extender every day and having to set aside huge chunks of time for it but seeing little to no gains for the effort = fuck this, I'm over it.

This is why I am so thankful for the brotherhood. You see I came in for PE in the past, joined MOS 3 times (lost passwords), bought 3 extenders, bathmate etc, but never relied on the support here. I know this time for whatever reason if I am discouraged, I can count on someone here who was in the same position to pull me out of my funk! Thankful to you all. I only want an inch so if it takes me 5 years so be it!

^^^^ Totally agree with this, having that feeling of being part of a larger group & feeling like you're all in this together with the daily grind makes it seem easier instead of climbing the pe mountain alone. Sometimes all it takes is a brother acknowledging your struggle and saying, "I've been there, maybe try this way, you got this, now keep pushing!" and your fired up and back to it 😀

stop becuz of time or injury,,,,,,,,otherwise i dont wanna stop ....lol

I made gains that I felt good about. Lets just say if I wasn't going to gain anymore I would have been satisfied. PE also gave me bad discolouration which I hated. I figured that my dick was a satisfactory size and I wanted the discoloration to go so girls wouldn't be turned off, so I stopped. The discolouration slowly faded. Then I lost my V-card and got into a 2 year relationship. She loved my big dick so why pick PE up again? Also I didn't want to discolouration to come back and for her to ask questions and find out.

The relationship is done and I am back in the PE game now. I lost about 1/4 inch in length over that time. May as well make my dick as big as possible and go out and plow me some fanny. Why not.
It's a difficult game to get back into though. I keep telling myself my dick is a nice size so why make it bigger? Also my sex drive and erections are not as strong as my late teen years when I took up PE so it is harder to stay motivated during workouts. I will find a way though.

Support is everything when it comes to our artform. It is the fuel for the fire, and without this fuel the fire fizzles out. I am so proud of our Brotherhood and every man who contributes to it.

Hi guys back agai lol.

I've been doing PE for about 10years now. On and off for many reasons - work/made gains/time consuming/etc etc.

But happy to say I have started back.

20mins wet helping in the morning
30mins stretching at night.

Looking at pumps again and I'm not keen on my Barhmate anymore due to it being water you need to use it in.

Want one I can use In The toilet at work during lunch

i have never taken more than 1-2 days off at a time since i started, i guess thats why i keep gaining

i am at very frustrating time right now. Always something get in the way. Since i started to use my extender everything was working so well but then i started to deal with frenulum scars, so now i have not pe for 6 weeks or something and i am now goin to do frenulum tying, but that is something that scares me, to put needle in the skin of my penis does not sound good. and i can't find the right plastic band to do this with so i do not know how this is goin to end but i know i have to do this if i whant a big penis.
I am starting to feel that PE is easy but this things that are always getting in the way is like the biggest enemy here.

This is a great thread, I have only been going for 3 months myself so I haven't quit.... and I don't intend to until my goals are achieved.

I have had multiple other areas of my life where my dedication has been challenged as such too, but I have become the type to persevere and achieve regardless. So I thought I would just share some of my thoughts on overcoming adversity and achieving goals.

1. Believing Adversity is a stopping point - Something a great mentor once told me impacted the way I see adversity greatly and I wanted to share it. "Too many people see adversity as a reason to quit, instead of an opportunity to become stronger." It is the harder times, the adversity that actually forces us to grow (in life and in PE). If we quit every time something got hard, we would all be weak and unsuccessful. Why do hurdles exist? To be leapt over. Don't try to get out of your adversity early either, don't look for the easy way out. Endure, overcome and watch yourself become stronger in every area of your life as you better yourself.

2. Believing Adversity is a lone struggle - The greatest men this world has ever seen all faced some of the worst adversity that brought out their greatness. There is one thing that almost all of the world impacting great men have in common, and it's pretty simple. They didn't do it alone. They had brotherhood, community, people they could rely on. You need people around you to hold you accountable, build you up in the bad times, and celebrate with you for the wins. I have already experienced MOS being fantastic at this. Stay connected and you will stay committed.

3. Audacious vs. Unrealistic - Audacious goals are great, we can never achieve greatness if we don't reach for it. I like to set goals every year, and every year I make 2 Big Hairy Audacious Goals as a part of that (BHAG's as I call them). However, I always ensure they are realistic too. They need to be measurable, achievable and I need to have a systematic, realistic approach to how I will achieve them. Some people like the "SMART" goals system, google that if you are unfamiliar with it. Personally I like my goals to be hard, but I also need to know that they can be achieved and I need to set a deadline, a real hard date for when I will have achieved them. This keeps me motivated and focused on the goal instead of the grind (day-to-day).

Just a few thoughts on the topic, I hope some of you guys can use them.

hard times are a challenge, quitting is an easy thing..maybe better times are ahead..we have to keep the hope alive......

Kids, family, job, bills, and lack of privacy can be my bummer sometime. But we need to look at the ripped guy in the gym and remind ourselves what dedication can bring. I go on and off on my weight loss dedication as well. So its not just pe. Its about being able to maintain a beastmode mentality for 6 months straight. No breaks. No bullshitting. And definitely no negative phucking thinking.
I just wish the dick didnt go numb every hour while wearing the extender.

Because old Metallica made my balls so big it didn't matter anymore.

I just fuck bitches with my sack now
