Penis Enhancement Community (r/gettingbigger, r/jelqing) - HARDCORE MALE SELF IMPROVEMENT

[CivilianOfTheFandomWars]

Are you below the average male penis size of 8 inches? Are you disappointed in bed, mainly with yourself? Well, lucky for you I have the answer.
Penis Enhancement, or PE, is exactly what it sounds like. You basically do various exercises and tie various contraptions to your dick in order to make it longer, thicker, and harder. There's actually quite a lot of different metrics to measure your cock, so I've complied a list of terms you need, yes need, to know.

TERM	MEANING
BPL, Bone Pressed Length	When you get a ruler and jam it into your pubic bone in order to measure your erect dick
NBPL, Non Bone Pressed Length	When you measure your erect dick by not pressing the ruler into your flesh, and just measure what's actually sticking out
Girth	The circumference of your erect cock
EQ, Erection Quality	How hard you actually get, no one wants to play pool with a rope

Now that that's out of the way, lets get to learning from the experts.

Thank you Leo, very cool, very informative. But we need the real big brains.
We need Reddit.

Spoiler: r/gettingbigger

Absolutly amazing content.
Let's check out r/jelqing

Spoiler: r/jelqing

If you dig around, there is a lot of content in this community in places like Thunder's Place and the GoodLookingLoser Forums. It's very tied into PUA and underground bodybuilding, and these dudes swear to God and back it works but it may not be worth hanging plates off your cock for hours at a time.
Either way, this is a bunch of dudes who have devoted themselves to making their cocks bigger, and discuss this very seriously with each other.

 

[Ged's Forth]

When I was like 13 or 14 I came across an old web 1.0 jelqing forum. Despite being a teenage faggot, even I knew these people were insane. They remind me of the people who try to grow their foreskin back, but at least those weirdos sometimes get results.

Are these people aware that these techniques destroy the nerve tissue?

There's a load of "hurt my dick, wat do?" posts floating around.

Whole post

This community has an amazing resource of veterans and very knowledgeable people that give very good advice. READ THE WIKI . Every now and then there is a bit of bro science that comes into play with medical stuff. Believe it or not, I’m actually a medical doctor (MD) in the US and I wanted to compile some actual medical information to hopefully help someone. I am not a urologist (penis doctor) so I am absolutely NOT an expert in this stuff. I’d be willing to bet the veterans on here know more than me on some of this stuff. That also means take all of this information with a grain of salt. This is not me giving medical advice this is me compiling/summarizing information. If you have any issues it’s smartest to SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. That being said , hopefully this helps somebody.

Penile fracture (really really bad)

Defintion: tear in the tunica albuginea. The tunica albuginea is the rubbery sheath of tissue below the skin that allows the penis to increase in width and length to produce a firm erection.

Symptoms: hear/feel a pop in penis. Immediate PAIN AND BRUISING. Immediate loss of erection. EGG PLANT SIGN. see pic below. If you don’t have the egg plant sign you did not actually fracture your penis.

What it looks like

Cause: trauma. Most commonly something physically hitting your dick or bending erect dick with force aka if woman on top, Dick slips out and she comes down on it at an angle. OVERLY AGGRESSIVE PE.

Treatment: SURGERY! need to go to Emergency room immediately. Sooner it’s corrected the lower the chance of permanent damage.

Penile suspensory ligament damage

Suspensory ligament is connective tissue that connects the penis to the bones of the pelvis. This can be torn, partial torn, or strained from trauma or PE. Most commonly when the erect penis is pushed down with force. Can also occur from aggressive stretching.

Symptoms: can feel a click or pop sensation. Pain in the upper penis at the base, especially with arousal/erection. This often leads to poor erection quality.

What it looks like. I can’t find any good images of a tear bc technically it’s not a visible injury but here is what suspensory ligament looks like. here

Treatment: See a doctor. If minor damage, rest and over the counter pain relievers (I would recommend Ibuprofen as it is an anti-inflammatory medicine), and rest. If warm compress is soothing, this can be used as well. If ligament is torn, surgery is necessary to correct. Usually imaging like an MRI or exam by a urologist is the only way to know if a ligament is torn or not for sure. However, with complete tear, you can actually feel a gap between the pubic bone and penis. (I'd recommend you all take a feel now to know what normal feels like.)

My thoughts: Technical tearing your suspensory ligament is a crude form of the penis enlargement surgery when that ligament is surgically cut. The problem with this injury is that the penis can become very unstable which can make sex harder and increase risk of penis coming out during sex, which would then increase risk of penile fracture for example.

Lymphangiosclerosis (one of the most common things I get asked about)

Defintion: hardening of the lymphatic ducts in penis

Symptoms: You can feel a painless cord or hard “spaghetti noodle” like cord around head of penis or extending along the shaft. More prominent with erection but can also be seen and felt flaccid. Most guys mistake it for an enlarged vein.

What it looks like

what it looked like on me

Cause: overdoing it with PE or really aggressive masturbation. Anything that is going to irritate those lymphatic channels in the penis or for example when pumping/clamping and you are literally forcing fluid into those channels for prolonged periods of time.

Treatment: A bit unclear. Best thing to do is rest from what I have researched. Aka stop PE and stop masturbation. Sexual intercourse is still fine. I personally experienced this and I took about a 6 to 8 week break it it finally went away. I also had it start to return and I just decrease the amount of PE that I did and it still went away. So if it happens to me again I’m probably still going to do PE just decrease frequency and duration. If it does not resolve it can require surgery to fix.

Penile edema: Fluid accumulating in your penis causing swelling

Causes: really anything that can cause prolonged blood/fluid in penile tissue. Most commonly I see it with people who pump for too long. Other causes

-Balantitis: inflammation of the head of the penis. Often in uncircumcised males and caused by an underlying infection

-sexually transmitted infections (STI) can also cause swelling along the head of the penis but are usually associated with pain or burning with urination and sometimes discharge from the penis.

Treatment: if it’s from prolonged pumping or clamping, you might want to back off and decrease the amount of time per session. Regardless it should resolve with enough time after your PE session on its own. If it’s from balantitis or STI It might require treatment with antibiotics or antivirals so seek medical attention.

This Is where my lack of experience comes into play. I have seen some people on here recommend silicone sleeves if there is swelling during pumping to prevent “donut” edema. but you will have to ask those. Maybe some of the vets can comment below. Or just read wiki

What it looks like donut edema

Balantitis

Please clean your devices and wash hands prior to PE to minimize risk of infection in general!! If you don’t you are also at risk of a urinary tract infection aka burning when you pee

Phimosis (ONLY FOR UNCIRCUMCISED)

Definition/symptoms: inability to retract (pull back) the foreskin of penis to expose the head of the penis.

what it looks like

Causes: can occur naturally or could be secondary to infection or inflammation (see balantitis above)

Treatment: often times will resolve on its own. If it is prolonged and you are unable to urinate(pee) you need to seek immediate medical attention. If it’s secondary to infection you might need antibiotics. Also sometimes steroid creams are necessary. You can also manually decompress by applying constant pressure with your hand. (I had to do this as a medical student once for a patient)

My suggestion: retract foreskin prior to PE when you can to help minimize this risk.

Peyronie’s disease

Definition/symptoms: Scarring or plaques Can develop a long shaft of the penis causing it to bend or become indented during erections. Areas of scarring or plaques can be very painful to the touch

Causes: caused by minor injury to the penis. This type of damage is most often caused by vigorous sex (such as bending the penis during penetration or pressure from a partner's pubic bone), though it can also be caused by sports or other accidents.

What it looks like

Treatment: sometimes if mild can resolve on its own. There are medications, topical ointments, injections, and surgery if severe enough. Believe it or not there’s evidence to suggest that pumping and manual stretching is actually a treatment for it.

My thoughts: this makes me the most nervous about doing PE. A lot of the things we do can actually cause micro trauma which could in fact lead to scarring and in theory increase risk. Especially some of these extreme stretches like the blue whale/Mandingo stretch. However as you just read, most PE is actually treatment for it so just be careful and be smart. Be aware if you start noticing a bend to your penis.

Penile cancer (CANNOT BE CAUSED BY PE, but I am a oncologist so I had to include. Most people in this group are young but having this information now could potentially save a life further down the line. But once again, This cannot be caused by PE)

Definition: cancer of the penis (RARE)

Symptoms: Usually starts as a small lesion or blister that continues to grow. Can itch or burn. Usually has discharge or purse associated with it.

Risk factors: age of over 60, smokers, HPV, HIV, not circumcised

what it looks like

Treatment: surgery, chemotherapy, and or radiation treatments. Early diagnosis is key for good outcomes.

Burning when you pee -Urinary tract infection (UTI) aka cystitis (bladder infection) -trauma or irritation to urethra

Definition: bacterial/yeast infection of the urethra (The tube that carries urine out of the penis from the bladder) and bladder or trauma to urethra.

penile urethra

Symptoms: Burning sensation with urination

Causes: bacterial exposure to the head of penis. I would say biggest risk for this group would be from not appropriately keeping devices clean and washing hands prior to PE. Bacteria especially E. coli is commonly present on your hands and objects.

Other causes of burning when you urinate could be inflammation or irritation of the head of the penis especially at the urethra from aggressive PE or trauma. For example, if penis is bent at weird angle it can put strain and irritate urethra. Just because there is burning when you urinate does not mean you have an infection. Even eating really spicy foods can cause burning when you urinate. An infection will continue to get worse. Other causes will go away with when the activity causing them is stopped.

Treatment: A True infection is treated with antibiotics or antifungals. Make sure to wash hands and keep devices clean to minimize risk AZO is a very effective over the counter medication for burning with pee. I would caution use of this bc this could lead to an infection being untreated if you have one. If burning lasts more than a couple days seek medical attention.

Priapism: erection lasting more than four hours or off and on for several hours. The penis is usually painful or tender.

Treatment: usually can be treated with noninvasive means like compression, ice, and medications that can restrict blood flow. Only an extreme conditions is aspirating, or literally sticking a needle into the penis to drain blood necessary.

What it looks like: We all know what hard dick looks like.

My thoughts: ischemic priapism can cause serious complications. The blood trapped in the penis is deprived of oxygen. When an erection lasts for too long, this oxygen-poor blood can begin to damage or destroy tissues in the penis. As a result, untreated priapism can cause erectile dysfunction. So when I see guys pumping or clamping for multiple hours it makes me nervous that there’s not adequate blood flow to the penis. But I honestly I do not know facts on how risky that stuff is or is not. I pump in 5 to 10 minute intervals for a max of 20 minutes daily because of my concern for this but I don’t know exactly how warranted it is. Vets that actually have medical facts (not opinion) please chime in below on your thoughts.

For the other common issues please see the wiki. link. I will only give brief descriptions because of how well it’s detailed in the other section.

Hard flaccid: lower erection quality often times with loss of Morning wood.

Discoloration/minor bruising

Numbness

Blood/bleeding from head of penis

I spent quite a bit of time on this so I hope it’s helpful and will hopefully prevent someone from freaking out when it’s not needed. Good luck with everybody on the journey. Please do it safely.

Remember, there’s no point in having a big dick if you can’t use it so please be careful you can do it safely.

Also, please don’t be a dick. if you disagree with a point, I CAN AND WILL edit this post if appropriate and I already said I’m not an expert. Just trying to be helpful.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk

In general, if you are at the point where you are doing this it may be too late to worry about petty things like 'nerve damage'.

To be fair, the inflammation severe nerve damage can cause probably can make your dick a bit bigger.

Anyways, Connor Murphy did this shit too. Can't find the original, though at least Derek gives more insight.

I could go on about Derek as well as GLL, but that's real old school Internet shit.

Imagine being so obsessed with penises. Sounds pretty gay, tbh.

Actually, I think a lot of people in these types of communities, Penis enlargement, bodybuilding, PUA, Incel, NoFap, etc, etc are really just latent homosexuals. That's not to say they all are, or even the majority, but I think it's definitely a big part of these spheres.

As a gay bodybuilder, you are absolutely correct. It just manifests as an odd type of homosexuality where they get so obsessed with the male body, and their own, that literally only the other people in those communities would care, and that's who they're trying to impress now instead of women.
Think Bateman flexing at the mirror while fucking some chick.

Is this real? I cant believe anyone on this earth could be so physically retarded that they attach their cock to a ceiling fan with a seven year old girl in the house. Nor the fact a man simply discuses that his cock was ripped straight off his body by said fan.

Groups like this (on all sides) will usually end up like being infested with grifters, e-celebs and people who has this as their only identity. It ruin some good (or at least neutral) original ideas for everybody. Some narcissism and vanity is certainly important in those circles. Also they usually hate women as a blanket group. Which is pretty stupid if you worry about not having a GF.

 

[Yuuichirou Kumada]

That's peak insecurity. Trust me, I know.

Gotta confess I used to be a lurker in Thunder's Place in my formative years. Never took it seriously, though.
One thread that always caught my attention is the one where users reported the reasons to enter the whole penis enlargement schtick. 99% were of people whining about having lost sweethearts to well-endowed guys. Some even saw the act in swinger orgies and whatnot. That must hurt the psyche of people too obsessed with their image and self-worth.

And just like every other "self-improvement" community, it's filled to the brim with techniques, apparel, preparations and lots of broscience to supposedly improve your gains. There's the slink, the Bib push, the V-push, the Pirate's Pulley, the Loss of Tug theory and God knows what other mumbo-jumbo to help increase the size of one's pecker.

For whatever reason, these Manosphere types are really easy to grift. There's always some other program to sell, or another product, or "Hidden secret to make you successful with women". It really feels like a religion/cult. That's one of the things that perplexed me about MGTOW, they're a group of people who have decided that women are irrelevent (which I can't even really argue with) yet there always seemed to be these gurus trying to sell some type of seminar. What advice can you really tell a MGTOW other than "don't date women lol". At least with this penis enlargement stuff it makes sense. There's a million techniques or products or methods to sell to some sucker with a tiny dick.

But does it work?

So, these guys swear up, down, left, and right that this works. Here's one of the most "well known" sites that talked on this.
Good Looking Loser was a blog ran by a dude named Chris, and it was an odd mix of PUA, bodybuilding, self improvement, and eventually kratom. There's an entire section about "getting hung".
https://www.goodlookingloser.com/get-hung
He reviews a load of devices and provided affiliate links, gives routines, and really tries to sell you on this whole thing. GLL would have been worth a thread all on it's own if it weren't dead, and the forums are full of crazy shit, not just PE, even though PE was a major topic.
It's really hard to tell who is grifting, and who honestly dedicates themselves to it, but either way it's retarded.

Are there any methods of making the penis smaller? I wouldn't want to accidentally make a woman feel good
