Week 8

I have been less consistent about my morning ritual this week, but I have discovered the wonders of Nite Rider herbal supplement.
Because I am not necessarily at my best after a week of jelqing, I have decided to change the way I record my results.  From now on I will record the greatest measurement achieved during the past week instead of on the last day.  For this week, that was definitely achieved the morning after taking Nite Rider, just after pumping.  And this was despite the fact that I had cum the night before!

Nite Rider

In anticipation of some future activity, I am testing out the "dietary supplement" called "Nite Rider".  It was the only one that the girls behind the counter said gets repeat customers.  I bought the one night dose, fearing that if it is anything like the original formula Extenze, I will want to be able to get it out of my system quickly.  I am most interested in its ability to prolong my staying power and help me to combat premature ejaculation.  I realize that this is a tricky thing to test for when I am by myself, but I do want some sort ofa trial run before popping a pill with a relative stranger.  I am taking it with a hearty meal and will wait one hour as indicated.

It has only been ten minutes and I already can feel my heart rate increased, my breaths shorter and it feels like my temperature has risen.  Either my appetite has waned or I simply don't like the meal that I have cooked for dinner, but I will force it down because I do not want to feel the full effects of this pill on an empty stomach.

I have concluded, based on various internet reports, that the ingredient in Extenze that made me feel like my heart was going to explode was the Yohimbe, so I chose a supplement that does not contain that ingredient.  Nite Rider is loaded with obscure herbs.  The most recognizable ingredient is Saw Palmetto which seems to be in every herbal prostate medication.  It is supposed to be good for controlling night time urges to urinate, so I suppose it strengthens the prostate's clinching action.  That does not bode well, because my experiments with stamina techniques have failed to convince me that the key to longer, more satisfying sex acts is to clinch off orgasms as they arise.

...It has now been 2 hours since taking the pills.  I have not had the opportunity to test the effects.  My heart rate does seem to have returned to normal.  There isno indication on the packages as to the length of the effects, although it is implied that the stuff is in the system for 24 hours.  A small note does read "stimulation needed for optimum function."  Well, let's try that...

I am not convinced that my solo experience is any different.  I am much more mindful of when I am approaching orgasm because I am paying very close attention while looking for anything different.  I am finding that by regulating my breathing into slow, regular, constant breaths (never holding it in or out but always breathing uniformly) I do have a certain level of control, but I am not convinced that it is more control than usual.  My heart rate has increased beyond my usual aroused state.  The most sensitive regions of my cock still feel as if they could push me past the point of no return.  No doubt, my dick is very hard, but not any more so than usual (I do have my rings in place.  Perhaps one difference is that the erection does not seem to "deflate" as quickly when stimulation is removed.  But what good is it to stay hard if I can't postpone my orgasm?

After 3 hours, I do not feel that my staying power is particularly improved.  If anything, I am particularly close to the edge much of the time.  ?True, I haven't gone past the point of no return, but I have had to lighten my strokes quite a bit to keep control.   I don't trust my sphincter clenching because I fear that the tightness and the focus on the groin will push me over the edge instead of holding me back.

OK.  Time to try with my doll and to be willing to lose control, but then see if I can still pull it back.  Firtst, I want to try some lone masturbation with my eyes closed so I can focus purely on the sensation and be totally aware.  No straps, no plugs.  Just my hand and some lube...

Nope.  Over the edge.  The increased heart rate has kept me from completely falling into a refractory period, maybe, but otherwise there's nothing new.

...next morning:  I do find that despite th usual physical exhaustion that comes from having unloaded last night, I still awoke with a usable erection and an urge to use it.  I fear that prolonged usage of these pills could trick me into continuing to have orgasms beyond healthy limits.  I didn't want the ability to have more orgasms.  I hoped for the ability to control the one that I have.

Now that I have started playing with my morning wood, I have no doubt that it is MUCH HARDER than usual, even without the aid of any rings.

After pumping, I reached a new size record of 15.9cm with a 12.1cm girth and hard enough to hammer nails.  The benefits of this definitely come the next morning when I am hard as a rock and better able to control things since I already came the night before.  I just need to be careful that I dont't end up overdoing things.

week 7

In addition to 10 minutes worth of "milking" jelqs and a few minutes of holding the pump at its max capacity, I have also added one minute of shaking my semi-erect cock and a few minutes of intermittently squeezing the tip as described here:

One problem I have noticed is that I have been measuring my results on the last day of the week and that I don't think I reach my maximum size on this day, partly because after a week of intense play I am riding the edge of orgasm and afraid I'll lose it, so I am holding back a bit.  Just the sensation of the tape measurer on my cock almost made me explode last week.

length: 16.1 cm
'girth:  12.6cm

week 6

I have now been performing 10 minutes of jelqing (about 200 jelqs) every morning for the past week.  I have also been pumping.  On average, every day I am holding the pump at the maximum suction that my cheap pump can hold for about 10 minutes.  I feel bigger, but let's see the biggest measurements I can reach today.

length: 15.7cm
girth: 12.8cm

Week 5

I have changed my routine a bit, which alters my experiment somewhat.  Hopefully I will get some more rapid results.  Here are the changes:
Instead of needing to count the jelqs every morning, I have used the clock and assumed that each jelq lasts 3 seconds. Since I should now be performing 160 jelqs each day, I have been jelqing for 8 minutes.
I have also began pumping, usually keeping my "inflated cock inside the pump for about 5-10 minutes each morning, pumped to about the max that my cheap pump can handle.
Measurements are the maximum length and girth that I was able to achieve during the day with as much help from cock rings and porn as possible.  I usually do not use an anal plug during measurements, as this seems to decrease my erection strength.

length: 15.9cm
girth 12.7cm

Good and bad toy reports

I bought another pump, this one not costing much more than my first.  When will I learn that you get what you pay for.  The gasket (on the left) ripped during my first use.  I superglued it, but it just ripped elsewhere on my second use.  If I truly am narrower than the average, then this shoould not be happening.  It could be because I regularly use silicone lube, but I covered my cock with water based Astroglide before entering the pump.  I am hesitant to buy a new gasket from the same company and the only alternatives I could find cost as much as the entire pump and are made of silicone.  So, I have tried to repair it by putting a condom with a hole in the tip in place of a gasket.  That worked OK, but the suction was much improved by also adding a latex glove with a hole in the thumb, which I secured with a rubber band.  This setup creates suction, but the suction slowly fades.
Anyway, I'm still not sold on the idea of pumping, but I have grown to enjoy the novel feel of it sucking some precum out of me.
UPDATE: The broken pump still works well with just the condom, but I have to put some water in the chamber and use plenty of Astroglide to ensure a good seal.  Also, the squeeze bulb does not reinflate with enough force (a major design flaw) but I can still create enough suction by using my mouth to suck air out of the top of the squeeze bulb.  This almost fulfills the life-long goal of being able to suck myself!
One thing that is not obvious about this pump when you buy it is that it is rather small.  My average sized cock almost reaches the end when fully pumped.

These rings were awesome for about a day.  I'd put the thicker one around the base of my shaft and balls and the slightly narrower one around just my balls.  I was in heaven.  But the one that I stretched over everything soon snapped, as shown in the photo.  I do recommend these particular rings, but be very careful stretching them and you might want to avoid silicone lube.

I bought this ring to replace the broken one above.  It's made of TPR, which I'm hoping won't weaken with silicone lube.  It is 1.5cm thick which should prevent it from snapping as well as provide a great sensation of pulling the cock and balls away from my body.  I'll report later.
UPDATE: This thing is pretty awesome, especially if I loosen my cock and balls in a warm bath first.

pretty sure I've already reported on the ball stretcher at the bottom of this pic.  This has become a favorite (thus the discoloration from over use.  It's hole has stretched quite a bit wider, so I sometimes tighten its grip on my balls by wrapping a stretchy ring over it.  The best sensation is to first use something to separate the balls and then put the ball stretcher over that.  Mmm!
At top is a variation of the ball stretcher that also includes a built in cockring for the whole base.  I have not been too impressed with this.  Sometimes I use it as a second ball stretcher to try to pull them even farther.

When all is said and done, no store bought toy has been able to beat my home made cinch cord cock ring.  I ratchet this thing tight around my whole base after placing all of my stretchy rings.  This gives a serious sense of urgency and makes everything stand at attention!
