List of Injuries

To everyone for everyone,

Fellas, I got to thinking about some of the things we all go thru with our endeavor and came up with an idea that might be useful to new guys and veterans alike...First, please list some of the injuries you've had to deal with (including the level and duration of pain), secondly, what you did to overcome it. Third, crazy as this may be to ask, did growth come after the injury healed?

Good topic, Tomcat. I injured myself pretty bad about 3 months ago and thought my PE days were over, but I've since healed and hopefully still on my way to making gains. Here's what happened:

I made the mistake of dry jelqing and stretching one night after drinking a few beers. One should never do PE under the influence... a sure recipe for disaster. I also forgot to hot wrap... another big No No. I must have stretched or jelqed too hard, but didn't realize it until the next day when I noticed a small white "blister" in the middle of my circumcision scar on the top side of my penis. My first thought was Herpes, but then slowly but surely, the blister grew in size until a few days later my entire penis was swollen and bruised, with most of the injury concentrated on the left side of the circumcision ring. The blister was now an ulcerated open wound. It looked like my penis had been run over by a truck. I was depressed for 2 weeks... that's how long it took for it to return to a semi normal condition... and sex or masturbation was out of the question. It took a full month to heal, and I still have a tiny scar where the blister was, but it seems to be slowly fading, so I hope it's not permanent. I took a lot of vitamin C and 800iu of vitamin E everyday, which I think sped up the healing process. I also religiously applied Neosporin to the wound.

So, a big lesson learned. Never drink and jelq. Always hot wrap. And for me (because I have tight skin), Always use lube.

I'm curious to hear if anyone else has had a similar injury, or what other types of injuries people have had.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've gone to a slow firm jelq concentrating on really engourging the head and holding at the end of the stroke for just a moment. Even though I've been jelqing for months now, these slow intense jelqs always cause red spots. I usually stretch the next day or do lighter jelqs or just take the day off. Still wondering if this will produce faster gains because I'm obviously working it!

Does trimming hair count? Damn it hurts when you clip some nut sack skin off!

OH YEAH! A few weeks after the cut healed I put some hair remover lotion on my balls, now that was a BIG mistake. Damn that hurt! Very hot. Almost panicked.

Hi Tomcat!

Great idea!!

Well, the only injurys I've had from my +1 year of experience with PE was two spots (dark, like blood cloughts), two times. First time was in the beginning of this year, when I restarted PE from a lay off of a month, and started too eager with too much force. Needless to say, my penis head didn't like the punishment, and one blood cought appeared. The other time was two days ago, when on my last reps of my lenght exercise, my grip slipped a little, and I sort of "jelqued" my penis head... can you say Ouch! :) Well, when taking my bath after, I noticed the spots. I rested yesterday, but today I'll resume working out. Let's see how my dick reacts.

This also brings me to one question: do any of you uncircumsized guys, when stretching, do it with the foreskin retracted?

PEace,

Yes good idea here. Well no serious injuries here. Of course the red spots and some bruising in the beginning. I also had a severe bout one time from taking time off and returning too enthusiastically. Lesson: if you rest for a week or so and return then start out slowly again. Don't just jelq again hard and long or you will totally be spotted up.

Additionally, if you are hanging and have to sneeze or cough then make sure you pick up the hanger and lift the weight off your penis. If you have all the weight hanging and sneeze or cough it can cause a sharp pain.

my recurring problem seems to be some bleeding from the urethra. I small discharge of blood during jelqing. I attribute the initial injury probably from being to gung ho without suffincient warm up (the usual story) I kept trying to get away with 3 or 4 days off and the problem kept coming back. Just took a full 10 days off, re-starting my routine last monday and so far everything has been great.

Incidentally, I have changed my routine to 2 20 minute intense jelqing sessions a day. It is too early to see if there are any size gains from this but willy seems very happy, he is back to doing his baseball bat impersonaltion in the mornings

Keep us posted on the 20-minute HIT sessions. I would love to know if we could gain form short sessions

[bona bona]

sure will. I shifted to two short sessions for two reasons, but neither are based on any pe reasoning. basically I just don't have time to do a long work out in the morning, and if I do a long session in the evening, it pretty much rules out sex, since I can't maintain a good errection for several hours. I find that if i cut it at 15 to 20 minutes I get a really solid errection and it enhances sensitivity for more pleasurable sex.

I also used to pump for a while after jelqing and I have stopped that. I just think the results are just too short term. It appears to me that my penis seems to have better tone with these short sessions and no pumping so the benifits to improved sexual health alone are worth the effort even if there is not major gains.

although I am a 1/4" short of my goal, I am happy with my 3/4" gain and would like to maintain that

Ok fellas...here's a ugly one. When I first started pe-ing I was using baby oil w aloe vera & after a while I guess I was alergic to the oil. My dick became very dried looking all over, including my glans & balls. And my shaft was cracked looking all over & wrinkly looking. Of course I stopped using that oil & started applying a special moisturizer everyday about 3 times a day for about 2 weeks, & it finally went away completly. It looked like I had a new penis, nice & smooth.What a relief!!
Another tme I had this little black thing pertruding off my skin right next to my uretra. Talk about ugly & embarassing. I tried to pick it off with tweezers, but it hurt to much. I had this for at least 3 weeks. Again I used that moisturizer & it seems to be working for it is just about all gone. I have no idea how I got this injury.
Now wasn't this a ugly story? Sorry, but you did ask.

started bleeding during a stretch session, but that followed 40 minutes of pumping, so i decided to stretch and jelq before pumping from now on out. that was the first time i had any leakage of blood, so i figured the pump session weakened vessels and tissue.

Dance, I know exactly what you are talking about. I was hanging a few months ago and sneezed. My bib slipped a little and I had one hell of a bruise for about a week. I guess it was like a 17 pound jelq. Never a good idea.

Guys,

What causes the bleeding? I'm thinking too much pressure for the urethra to handle which causes micro or larger tears to occur. If that's the case, is the tear limited to the opening of the urethra (because I experience much squeezing force as I pull near the head) or could it also tear somewhere in the shaft? Great input so far guys...

After three weeks of initial jelqing hard, I busted one of the forsekin veins, causing a blood bruise about an inch in diameter, near the circumcision scar. I believe this was caused by excessive pressure on a vein not used to that pressure, combined with the effect of jelqing causing the foreskin to roll over the glans, forcing that vein to roll each time as well. Three weeks off and it had healed.

One injury I have currently got, which I'd be interested to see if anyone has duplicated. One of the hair folicles near the underside base of my penis has formed a lump under the foreskin. It does not sit proud, but is I lift and roll the foreskin between my fingers, a lump a few millimetres in size is noticeable. Its either a cyst type lump or a calous(sp?). It's formed where my fingers join in the OK sign, at the base of my shaft. Initially was quite painful while jelqing, but with rest appears to become less sensitive, although it is still there after a week.

I remember when I had the idea that attatching weights to the pumping tube might be a good idea. That was until it dropped off and landed on my big toe. I can laugh now but it hurt at the time.
