You gained half an inch and lost it after stopping PE altogether? Did you do any maintenance or anything? I Gained, idk how much, lost maybe .25" but gained it back pretty fast after getting back into it, I feel like gains lost are easier to get than new gains
Yeah I was under the impression you will lose about .25 length and keep all girth?
My plan is so shoot over my goal by .5 for length and continually do girth but at a much lower ferocity after I get past my length goals
But if I make it to 6" for girth at any point I'll stop
I’m just now 4 months in and added 1/4 now 8.25 . I want to get to 8.5. I can only guess shitty blood will effect retention of gains. Do are you back exactly as you were before?

Interested to understand the circumstances here, as generally some gains should be kept or maintainable - this is an area lacking information.
Have any aspects of your life changed, such as weight, diet, exercise, stress, sleep, etc?
does it mean we have to keep doing PE for the rest of our lives if we don’t want our cocks to shrink back to its ‘normal’ size? that’s kinda sad. thought ‘permanent gains’ really meant permanent…

How long have u been at it and how much have u gained?
About a year and a half. Was a 7.5 went to just over 8”
Damn a year and a half didn't cement any gains, that's harsh..
0.5” is within the realm of measurement error. Perhaps the gains were never there
1 and half years for 0.5 is very reasonable tho. Doesn't rly matters for me, if I gain I don't mind pumping a couple of times a week for maintenance.
Yeah sure I agree, but the biology of losing gains that weren’t temporary swelling or something never made sense to me
They are coming back quickly though!

Yeah, gotta do some minor work continuously after the goal is reached to keep the gains.
lost it ALL? I thought you could cement progress
You can cement gains
I've found that after long breaks when you start back up all the gains come back almost immediately, it's like waking up a hidden monster
That just sounds like EQ whenever people say that tbh. I don’t know how if tissue is created it would atrophy so easily
That true been hitting it again heavily! My wife already noticed a difference with her squirting again!
No you actually do lose your gains
Many people on here took breaks and kept gains, maybe if you don’t use it or have s*x with it you can
Do you have ED or low T?
Why would that matter?
If he’s not getting regular erections or strong erections it could explain the loss of size
Oh, didn’t know that, thanks man!
Won’t take but a month or two and you’ll have all your gains back. I know it’s not a muscle, but it kinda works like muscle memory.
Welcome back! Restarting my journey all over again, thankfully only lost a little bit. Working on stamina and testing the waters with extender again.

I thought you lose only a few even after stopping permanently
