Disclaimer: AI to the Rescue!

Hey everyone!

Before we dive in, I want to be upfront: I'm using ChatGPT to write this forum post. Why? Because I simply don’t have the patience to type long posts on my tiny phone keyboard (seriously, it’s like trying to perform brain surgery with chopsticks ). And dictation? Let’s just say my phone has an impressive talent for completely butchering my words.

So, to save time and my sanity, I’m outsourcing this to ChatGPT, as I have in past posts. Also, I usually ask for a humorous tone because, let’s be honest, a little laughter makes everything better—even PE!

Life Update: When God Redirects Your Path

Recently, a series of life events have unfolded that God has placed in our path, and my wife and I are navigating them one step at a time. First and foremost—praise God—my wife finally got a job! She absolutely loves her work, and seeing her happy and fulfilled in her role is a huge blessing. For those of you who have been following our journey, you know this has been a long time coming, and we’re incredibly grateful!

Now, onto the next big change: we’re moving! But there’s a twist…

We’re downsizing from a two-bedroom to a one-bedroom, and let me tell you, this new place is uber small—like, I might have to store my PE gear in the kitchen cabinets small. This means I’ll need to embrace a minimalist mindset and rethink how I manage my space. Goodbye, clutter—hello, strategic organization!

So, while this transition is going to be a major adjustment, I’m looking at it as an opportunity. A chance to simplify, focus on what truly matters, and appreciate the blessings we have (even if that means getting really creative with where I store my pump ).

PE Update: A Small but Mighty Week!

With all the life changes happening, I was only able to complete two PE sessions this week—one on Tuesday and one on Thursday. But hey, some work is better than no work!

Tuesday’s Session: Tabata & SSJs

I did 4 minutes of Tabata with 8 sets.

Each set consisted of SSJs for about a minute, followed by rest.

Post-session results: I had a significant amount of plumpness, which was encouraging!


Thursday’s Session: Pumping Session with Interval Pressure

Since I did 8 sets, my pressures looked like this:

Set 1: 4 - 4.5 Hg

Set 2: Slight increase

Set 3: Slight increase

Set 4: 7 Hg

Set 5: 8 Hg

Set 6: 9 Hg

Set 7: 9.5 Hg

Set 8 (final set): 10 Hg

After the session, something interesting happened—I felt a deep internal itching inside my lingam. If I recall correctly, this might be a sign of growth happening. I could be wrong, and I’m sure some of the PE veterans here can correct me if I am. But that internal itching definitely felt like something was happening inside the tissue!

So, for those of you with more experience—does this internal itching mean expansion and growth? Or am I just imagining things?

That’s my update for now! Life is moving fast, but we’re trusting God through it all. As always, I appreciate this community, and I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone.

P.S. If anyone has tips on minimalist living or how to store PE gear discreetly in tiny spaces, I’m all ears!

That’s my update for now! Life is moving fast, but we’re trusting God through it all. As always,

Always love your dedication to Jesus. I think many brothers are turning to Christ for all the blessings they receive once they turn to Christ. In PE there is no better support than God.

P.S. If anyone has tips on minimalist living or how to store PE gear discreetly in tiny spaces, I’m all ears!

Leave them out and tell them they something else like the LengthMaster you can tell them it's cat torture device....maybe say you tried to make a tie fighter from Star Wars. Tell them you pump is a water purification system. An ADS could be a hand reliever system to deal with your arthritis .....I can go on for days.

I’m Alive! (And Still in the Game… Kinda)

Heya,

Just popping in to let y’all know—yes, I’m still alive! Life has been throwing punches, but by God's grace, we’re rolling with them and keeping the faith.

Here’s a quick bullet-point update from my corner of the world:

My wife adores her new job! She’s really thriving and gets better at it every day. Watching her grow in this new role has been a joy.

Eviction out of nowhere?! Yup. After over 10 years in the same place, we were suddenly told we had until April 15th to move out. Total curveball. But God made a way—we found a new place and are preparing to move in soon!

PE has taken a backseat during this season. Between packing, stress, and dealing with the chaos of moving, time has been tight. That said, since I haven’t been doing much PE lately, the micro-tears on my shaft have healed, which is a small blessing in itself.

I’ve already packed away my MityVac and LengthMaster, so for today’s session I did manual SSJs only. Managed to squeeze in a 4-minute Tabata round, and while it wasn’t much, I’m doing the best I can with what I’ve got.

Marriage vibes are improving! My wife and I have been connecting more deeply lately. She’s been more open, loving, and even suggesting intimacy herself—which is new, exciting, and something I truly cherish!


All in all, I just want to thrive through this transition and not merely survive it. I’ll keep y’all posted as often as I can. Thank you for being such a solid community—it means a lot.

Stay strong, stay kind, and stretch smart!

A blessing in disguishes, brother. When life throws punches, roll with the punches and come back with a kick of your own. Your entire armour of God will surely protect your entire family and the ways He's leading you all will benefits you greatly. I was in the same situation when I was evicted from a home we were renting, 7 years calm, but the owner wanted to sell the house while it was rising in values 3 times its worth. We were tossed into the street in less than a month, but God guided us to a more prosperous new home of our own, at a location that is now much more blessed. Keep focus ahead and be that supporting roll for your loved ones.
